I once had to climb ub a 12 foot ladder into a front-end loader bucket on a tractor to side a house. I never want to do that again!

snakes and spiders, omg they send shivers down my back. and now apparently sharks as i jumped in finding nemo when the shark popped up...that was the sadest moment in my life....lol

well.... Mine is kinda weird, and i don't know the name.. as its quite specific.

I'm scared of Spiders...... But only when they are indoors, and spin webs. Once they get tarantula looking, They don't scare me even if they spin webs. Basically if they are hairy, they don't bother me. I have seen some pictures of spiders that are bigger than clocks.... that might freak my out enough to put holes in my walls with a pistol. Whenever I see a spider in my house, I have someone else dispose of it, as i can't get near it.

Needles. BAD. I pass out if I see one touching skin. Passed out giving blood for my mom. Passed out sewing a button on a shirt. Screw it. I'll go w/o shots and buttons. YAY ZIPPERS! Really, though...is this called hypophopia? or what is the clinical name for it?

I'm afraid of geckos. I don't know why, but I am.

*bump*

I hate Stryofome. Drop ceilings? Are the devil. At college we had them, and my roommate wanted to move the TV to the other side of the room, so she had to run the cable through the ceiling. I had to leave the room. The sound of the stryofome. Shudder! I hate packages that come with that in it. Creeps me out. I don't like it when resturants put the leftovers in a stryofome container. Everyone knows I hate this stuff, so they will rub their hands over it, making that noise that I hate. Bastards.

I'm slightly claustrophobic. I don't like being in crowded elevators. Sometimes when I'm in the back seat of a car with 2 others (3 in a row) I get very nervous. I can't sit in the middle. I'll get very fidgety. I was at a concert a week ago... Front row. 2nd opening act came on and everyone started pushing and shoving around. I had to get out of there. I started to freak out. I worry that I'll get crushed.

Escalators freak me out too. I hate using them when they're broken too. The lines on them really screw with my vision. And I worry that it will start working when I'm going up/down it. Heals on an escalator? Forget it. I'm certain that my shoelace will get caught in an escalator.

Snakes. I freakin' hate snakes. I want to kill every sake on earth, no matter what the ecological damage. slimy, evil fuckers.

And really old women. That's a deepseated fear, my step-greatgrandmother was a naturally bitter, mean person, and i was deathly afraid of her. During family functions, we felt obligated to invite her, and I have vivid memories from when i was 4 or 5 of my dad and grandpa teasing me, saying "Matt, we're going to go get Gran-Gran, want to come?" And i'd go run and hide in the little space between the piano and the wall.

Sponge. The artificial stuff, not natural sponges. I just can't bear touching it. Certain foams are the same, the ones found in cheap seats etc. Makes my spine twist even thinking about it.

The dark and heights. More so heights than the dark... well actually they're about even. I was never afraid of those things when I was a kid, it was brought about when I was a teenager... I don't know why though.

Down Escalators

Clowns - they completely and totally creep me out, I have crossed streets to get away from them.

I'm afraid of the dark sometimes, closed spaces, heights, spiders, and getting fat.

Oh, and escalators!!! I'm afraid they'll eat my shoes!!

falling & high places- especially steep slopes- it mainly derives from many dreams I've had of slipping down a steep slope of some sort......

Inbred Hillbillies- Dont know why, but this is my only bigotry.

Same here

OMG THEYRE SO CUUUUUUUTE THOUGH!!!! :snuggles the snailies and caterwillars: :icare:

oh, and of course the inevidible Aracnaphobia (fear of spiders)....

I hate spiders and have a fear of heights. just something about not being in control when your that high up that freaks me out.

Not a big fan of the dark either. Outside anyway.

Fear of heights. Fear of large amounts of insects. Alone or in pairs I have no problems. Plus, clausterphobic.

I had extremely severe social phobia in my teens, but as I took more possession of my identity and found friends I truly valued, I gained control of it. I think it centred around feelings of unworthiness.

I still have difficulty in some respects; though I don't actually experience aversion to crowded rooms or dislike myself anymore, my motivation to socialise is still unusually low.

I love darkness and heights.

spiders. and snakes.
i think those are the two biggest fears i have. there could be others, but those are the first things that come to mind.

I intensely hate/fear getting knocked over by a large wave and getting pushed around by the wave under the water. Too many times I try to swim "up" and instead end up crashing into a rock at the bottom, or getting my mouth full of water from panicking.

Remember the scene in Kill Bill V2 where Uma's character is buried alive? That part freaked me out completely. I almost had to leave the theatre. Just the thought of it is freaking me out.

I assumed that phobia meant an irrational fear of xxxxxx.

I consider alot of these posts to healthy respect for dangerous things. but what do I know?I'm such a fuck that I cant leave the house alone,and I live alone So It's just easier to stay in.

Agoraphobia.Carnophobia,Nosocomephobia.but I am getting better... right? : /

Couldn't help meself. Great song, covers the topic. I have so many phobias and neuroses that in the end my shrink will make millions off the book he writes about me.....lol

Phobia
Written by: R. Davies (the KINKS)

Lyrics:
Everybody got something hidden
In a darkness deep inside
Everybody gotta fatal flaw
Everybody got something to hide
Take a look into my eyes
See the fear and silent cries - phobia
Deep inside, take another look at it - phobia
Everybody got a phobia
Take another look, what you got - phobia
There are alleyways of your psyche
That have gotta be analyzed
Psychological penetration
Of the fear you cannot hide
There's a key to a door to be opened
And I wanna take a look inside
And in the darkest shadow of your mind
What you gonna find?
Phobia

Out under a technicolor ray
It all disappears on a bright, sunny day
But even on a crowded street
Somebody you might meet
Might trigger a repeat of phobia
Strikes again, fear of fire and being buried alive
Dizzy heights, wire coat hangers
Things that crawl and go bump in the night - phobia
Fear of germs
Creepy crawlies that make you squirm - phobia
Images of long ago, memories that you hardly know
A minor childhood incident
Triggering something deep below
Spiders' webs and black cats
Cockroaches and sewer rats
Full moons and witches hats
Creepy crawlies, vampire bats - phobia
I'm talking about phobia

Crowded rooms, too many faces
Suffocation, open spaces
Everybody gotta weird sensation
That they wanna keep trapped inside
Maybe it's a sexual deviation
Hiding beneath a respectable guise
If you are of this persuasion
There is just one explanation - phobia
Started out a long time ago - phobia
When you were small you may have seen a sight
But you were too young to know - phobia
What you got - phobia
Everybody got phobia, what you got - phobia
Everybody got phobia, take another look, what you got?
Everybody got phobia, what you got?
Phobia

death

spiders.... i swear i have a spider sense (not like spiderman) but when i walk into a room, somethin clicks and i know there is a spider somewhere...i have gotten so good at throwing my shoe across the room just to kill it, that if shoe-throwing was an olympic sport....well shit..i'd have the gold, and i blame it all on the movie arachnaphobia that i saw when i was like 7.....stupid stupid movie.

I am afraid of spiders and snakes. Mostly snakes, there is just something freaky about an animal who can kill you and not ever hear it coming...

Clowns, bees, puppets, animatronics

Bees, since my father was allergic to one type.

Climbing anything more than a few feet high.

Odd thing is I'm sort of ok around cliffs and will walk on narrow trails near a cliff edge, but it does bother me.

i have a DEATHLY fear of needles, I actually knocked my brother down cause he was in a doorway standing in my way to get out of the room when i had to get a shot at the doctor. I very RARELY get shots, I HATE THEMM!!!!!!!!!11!1!1!!!one!11

im feeling sick / nervous already just thinking of them.

Heights without a doubt.


And failure.

Here's a list of phobias if you want to look up the official name: http://www.phobialist.com/

Otherwise, mine is swimming in large body of water. I have no problem swimming in pools but in lakes or oceans, it freaks me out since I hate swimming in someplace where anything could come up and kill you...

What's truly frightening is that my bizarre fear of clowns actually has a name (Coulrophobia)- -so I'm not the only freak who has this fear?

very irrational fear of spiders, they freak me the hell out, no other bugs scare me, not snakes. nothing, except maybe death i guess, although i think i would rather die then hold a hairy spider. dunno why spiders but damn they are freaky. oddly i get great joy out of looking at them in pet stores and on the net.:)

I fear old age... meaning when I hit an age where family members are dying, when I have incontinence, when I just can't do anything I want anymore. I sure hope I am never bed-ridden or need a wheelchair or anything.

basements.

i have no specific reason to be- i.e., no basement-related trauma. in fact, i was never afraid of the basement in the house up morth... and i've never had a basement in any house i've lived in since then... but I am deathly afraid of basements.

I love the dark, btw- the basement could be lit up like 4th of july... there'd have to be several people down there to make it ok.

I literally broke a door to get out of a basement once. Got left in there alone, i was napping. I wake up, i'm in the basement alone. I try the door, it won't open. I tried to get it open, but nothing I did worked. Turns out it WAS jammed. I broke the door down to get out. Damn near died I was having such a bad anxiety attack.

hahahah, that is true... it would make matters worse if it was bigger than yours too!

I'm scared of people standing behind me... If someone stands behind me I freak... I'll shiver really hard. I'm scared of things touching my feet when I swim to...

If I can't see it and I know it's there, it scares me!

marshmallows and redheads

I'm scared of failure and being alone...

Oh, and snakes are yucky.
