    I used to have a fear of COTTON CANDY.


    I got over it last year.....but up UNTIL then.....I was terrified of being around it.


    It mainly was because it resembled cotton balls.....and I was afraid of those too. The stupid little squeaky sound they can make when you hold them...


    It hurt my ears so bad. And then I just kind of avoided them all...


    and then it became a fear.



    But now it is all good. :)

    I am mildly claustrophobic. I say mildly because it kicks in at weird times.

    I can be in spaces as small as my bedroom or my bathroom or even my closet without a twitch of fear... but stick me in a car, at night, with poor visibility and I start to freak out.

    OR stick me in a theater... a WIDE OPEN theater with other people, and close the door and I'm freaking out.

    Birds, especially chickens and turkeys! I won't even eat either one of them at all.

    I don't like going in lakes or the ocean. I hate the idea of not knowing what's underneath me... Scares the crap out of me.

    Afraid of heights in general and blood (and often wounds). They scare me, give me heart palipitations.

    Though my oddest and is becoming an increasingly more stressful problem is I now imagine in any situation I could get hurt the worst that could happen... I don't know why I do it but I notice it happening in my head all the time and I just try not to think about other things when it does... I have no idea what that would be classified as.

    I don't like people (other than my massage therapist) touching my bones (wrist bone, ankle bone, toes, shin bone is the worst!) it just gives me the willies!!!

    I am TERRIFIED of crane flies... and yes, I know they are totally harmless. They are just gross and gangly and they have no depth perception! They'll fly right into your face! EEK! And if you hit them their legs fall off!! GROSS!!! It's the dumbest thing. I will climb 100 feet up an antenna radio tower. I'll pick up a snake or a mouse. Spiders are ok with me as long as they don't surprise me... but crane flies, YUCK!!! One of those things gets in my house and someone else needs to remove it! LOL!

    FEET!!!! I HATE FEET!

    Someone gets there feet near me I tense up, If they don't have socks on I go into panic mode... The feel touch me I FREAK. I am talking scream, cry and move the farthest I can away from them. Family thinks it is funny to put their feet on me while in the car... I am trying to wedge myself against the dashboard and crawl in the area between the windsheild and dashboard. .

    I HATE feet too!!!! I don't like other people's feet and I don't want anyone to touch mine. Getting a foot massage is a nightmare for me and I absolutely cannot touch anyone else's feet. Strangely, my kid's feet don't bother me as much as any other person's. I can manage to help them get their socks on without shuddering.

    Also, I have a strange fear of worms. Running outside in the summer after or while it's rainy is seriously traumatic for me because the worms are all over the sidewalks and it totally freaks me out.

    Swallowing. (Yes, yes, feel free to begin the dirty jokes.) But seriously, I get this irrational anxiety about swallowing pills, food, even water sometimes. I feel like I don't remember how to swallow and I'll end up choking to death. It's not bad all the time, but gets worse when I'm particularly stressed out.

    I have a phobia of cotton!! It freaks me out!!

    This is my husband! He freaks out whenever he opens a medicine bottle that has cotton in the top. He makes me take it out while he turns around so he can't see it and puts his fingers in his ears so he can't hear it "squeaking".

    This and the same as Georgia girl like her i had near drowings too.
    I'm scared of water. Not water like in a glass of water, but pools, ponds, rivers, ocean, etc. Mostly water where I can't see my feet. I'm not afraid of fish or seaweeds, it's just that I get this terrified feeling when I can't see the bottom of the water!!

    I used to live next to water where some people had drowned and I think dat made it worse.. I was always afarid that 'things' under the water would grab my ankles! I'm still terrified to go swim in the ocean.. :huh:

    in addition to these Cats because my cousin's cat attacked me leaving numberous scratches all over my body and the only thing I was doing was sleeping. it even scratched me in the eye.

    I don't have have any that I consider 'strange', but I do have a list of phobias.

    I suppose answering the phone is a little odd as fear.

    I have a phobia of drowning, I almost drowned when I was 6. My other phobia is mushrooms :\

    Same here with drowning. I almost drowned when I was 2.

    My other fear is not being able to freely move my arms and legs. I can't be tied or pinned or even tangled in a blanket without freaking out. Sometimes I have issues just removing an outer shirt that gets hung up on my under shirt. haha
