    I'm also deathly afraid of of beetles that fly. one flew through the window on my side of the car, and I unstrapped and did a backflip over my seat into the laps of the people sitting behind me. that was... interesting. everyone was like :huh: ???

    Someone else did a thread about this before. If you do a search you can also find that thread and read the phobias. It went on for pages and pages. I don't have a phobia.

    Clowns.

    After my brother died, I'm terrified of losing someone who means a lot to me.

    Tongues... and random moist heavy breathing.
    Creeps the hell out of me.

    At the risk of sounding insensitive, I have a slight fear of amputees.

    People scare me more than anything else :frown: Irrational, impulsive, narcissistic and over-emotional people frighten me because there's absolutely no way to reason with them.

    No matter what you do, people like that are always convinced that they're right.

    tight enclosed spaces...got an MRI years ago. I had to get pulled out once cuz i felt like i was gonna have a panic attack or something. My worst nightmare would be to get in a car accident where the car gets crushed up and I'm stuck in a position i can't move in with no space around me. Its freaking me out just thinking about it.

    I was on vacay a few weeks ago and went down some open waterslides. Decided to try the enclosed slide. Never again. Was completely dark and i felt a freak attack coming...finally made it out the slide and wouldn't do that again.


    A few years back I was on my way home, driving my little car. I got ran over by this drunk dude in a taho. Luckily my seat broke when I came back to it after hitting the steering wheel. I was lying flat when he ran over me. I was stuck in that car for hours. I cant even close the bathroom door now when I use the bathroom. I cant stand for the shower curtain to be completely pulled when I'm in the shower. Small rooms disturb the hell out of me.

    Snakes- I turn into a 2 yr. old crying and shaking, the works, whether a picture in a book, rubber snakes, snakes in the reptile house at the zoo, etc.
    Heights- my muscles lock down, can't move.

    I'm with you on this one, or rather gaining the weight back! I'm so paranoid about it that it's become obsessive

    The sound of a dog licking/drinking.
    It's the most terrifying thing to me. Ever.
    ugh..its not a phobia for me..just something that angers me. Sounds of people eating..the moist mouth sounds, lip smacking and all that. One girl at work brought carrots in the other night and started chomping on them. I couldn't put my earbuds in fast enough.
    I used to work with this guy that absolutely drove me nuts when he ate. He was such a sloppy eater, making all kinds of borderline obscene noises when he ate. Yuck!
    Aargh! My husband is THE most disgusting eater I have ever met. I love him dearly, but HATE it when he eats - especially wet or juicy food. YUCK!

    Pretty much all face noises get to me. Chewing, slurping, smacking, snoring, nose-whistling, sniffling, snorting. They make me angry. Mostly because they're all preventable just by not being disgusting. Chew with your mouth closed, blow your damn nose and roll over.

    Spiders, scorpions, centipedes, wasps, bees, small spaces and heights. I think I covered them all. Down here we have giant centipedes that get up to 7 and 8 inches long and 1/2 inch sometimes an inch wide. They are creepy crawly and disgusting. We also have taranchulas. EWE!!!! Makes my skin crawl!! And don't get me started on the scorpions!!

    Birds and other people's feet. I will only touch my feet and my little boy;s feet and when he gets a little bit bigger I won;t be touching his either.

    Carnival Rides. I went on one when I was a kid and it rocked back and forth and went upside down. I literally freaked out at the top of my lungs. Never again.

    Baseball games. I'm terrified of being hit by a fly ball. It's almost happened a few times.

    Birds flying over my head. Everyone thinks it's from the movie "The Birds" but I'm a big Hitchcock fan and it doesn't bother me. My phobia is from being dive-bombed by birds when I was a kid. I was taking my grandparents' cat for a walk (long story) and the birds didn't like it! The funny thing is that if I'm wearing a hat, then I feel safe. :wink:

    elevators! Got stuck on one once as a kid... no adults around was playing in some parking garage elevators with my siblings and cousins and really had to pee. It was one of those with glass all around and I peed my pants after the 2nd hour. People below me could see that I had peed my pants and laughed but no one got help! Elevators suck!

    Take the stairs people!

    Silverware scraping on ceramic plates. Fork tines especially. (It is like fingernails on a chalkboard, and, I hate that too...)

    A few of mine are easing up as I get older, but they are pretty unusual, I think. 2 big ones: Orca whales and coyotes.

    The orca thing is bizarre, but they've frequently been in my dreams/nightmares since I was a child. I am terrified but also completely fascinated by them.
    Coyotes are just jerks.

  • I am extremely phobic of airplanes!
    If I hear one overhead I panic .

    When I drive people to the airport I get sweaty, my heartbeats fast
    I can't relax until I am a safe distance away!

    I have had to fly a few times.
    I had to be medicated to do so.
    I still have SEVERE panic attacks
    I have had to have the flight attendant sit with me to keep me calm
    I know I've upset many passengers
    And yes it is extremely embarrassing

    I can't help it.
    They terrify me.
    Every time I get on a plane I just have that feeling that this is the one that's going down

    I can't get over my fear despite taking a fear of flying class 3 times.
