    I have very weird phobias.

    One is babies. Babies scare the hell out of me. And not just ones near me, I'll even have to look away from the TV when diaper commercials come on. It's probably related that pregnant women really freak me out as well. Once, my boyfriend was holding a friend's baby while we were just sitting around with a couple friends. He thought it would be funny to demonstrate my baby phobia and pointed at something behind me to get me to look away. At that point, he shoves this baby into my arms. I was shaking and on the verge of crying and repeating "TAKEITAWAYTAKEITAWAYTAKEITAWAYTAKEITAWAYTAKEITAWAY." I still have not forgiven him.

    The other is elderly people. When I was in high school, I was in a small leadership class and we had to organize a community outreach day to meet the people and businesses around the school. We went around and knocked on doors for a few weeks to get some people who wanted a group of students to drop by and talk on that day. Well, the day of, I inexplicably get assigned to take my group to the old folks' home next door to the school. I had a panic attack while inside, made a mad dash for the door, and actually lost consciousness and collapsed with my hand still on the door handle.

    I have a weird phobia. I'm afraid that some day I will be buried alive and won't be able to escape. Freaks me out so bad.

    Just a normal one: claustrophobia and it gets worse in elevators. I think that may have to do with the movie 'Devil' though.

    Spiders, I go into full panic mode when I see one (screaming, crying, acting like a complete idiot). I can't even kill them as I'm afraid I'll miss and they'll somehow touch me.

    I don't know if there's a term for it, but I am absolutely terrified of surgeries or any injury that involves cutting or poking beneath the skin.

    I was supposed to have my wisdom teeth out several times over the years but each time, I would have a panic attack and call and cancel.

    I didn't have an epidural when I had my daughter because I was more scared of a ginormous needle going into my spine than of the pain of labor.

    Giving blood? No way, it's mine.

    I have one, and I live it daily... eh...

    Fears I have conquered; Height, snakes(reptiles in general), and the one all children have ... Darkness. So it is possible to beat your fears back with a stick.

    The only one I can't beat back, is Isolophobia or maybe it is... Philophobia... oh well.
