Inane fears...

I'm sure that we all a fear of something that makes absolutly no sense to anyone but ourselves. Me personally I cannot, absolutly not stand the sight of slugs. I see one and immediatly am overcome with sense of terror and fear.
My explanation I guess is that when I was younger I used to walk outside alot barefoot and one night I stepped on one and ever sense then its just been in my mind. Later on in life I tried to deal with the fear and learn about them to make myself more comfortable. Big mistake all it did was make more afraid when I learned that they have no actual organ known as a brain. Really what they are is crawling pieces of sludge. And every time I see one its almsot like I feel my intelligence sucked by it...I know its wierd....but..

Anyways, anyone else have something like this too?

Sharks...my x bought me a book to help me learn and over come them, but now i know that there are sharks that can go between fresh and salt water... now i no longer go into large areas of fresh waters (ie:bays, lakes) without freaking out. I even freak out if i think about it long enough in a large pool or something. I know that they clean up and eliminate the sick and dying, but that just makes them cruel to me. Just the idea that if your in water and you cant make a quick get away, you cant really see the bottom of the water, and something that swims at a ~2.0 to 4.8 kmh and can bite your whole lower half off in 3 mins by grinding their teeth back and forth, doesnt help me at all.
Thats my biggest fear, aside from spiders and some creepy crawly thingies.

I have serious problem with swimming in an empty swimming pool. But if I'm in a lake where I can't see the bottom, I'm totally ok. I guess it's kind of the thing where if you can't see it, it can't hurt you? I don't know. It's the strangest paranoia I have I think.

Lately I have discovered I do not like large crickets. My computer is in the basement of my house (it is a finished basement), and lately with all the rain we've had here there has been A LOT of bugs comming in. Especially these monster crickets. They are about an inch and a half long, and can jump i'd guess about 7 feet. One shows up once a day at least. I have a hell of a time catching them, mostly because I freak out if it jumps near me. A couple times i've ended up having to put a cup on the end of a long stick and slowly lower the cup over the bastard to trap him.

I have no idea why i'm so skiddish about them. I don't mind any other bugs like spiders or anything. I guess it's the fact that these crickets can jump so far...and I'll admit they are quite creepy looking.

I have an insane fear that my husband will leave me. We have been together for almost 9 years married 6. He has never cheated on me. He goes to work goes to school and comes home. Sometimes he plays video games with his friends all hours of the night but he does this at home. He never goes out he doesn't drink or do drugs he is a all around great hubby. But I have this crazy fear that he is going to find someone else and leave me. I don't know why this is. But it happens all the time.

You should watch episode 7 of Making Fiends. I don't know if this will cure you of your fear, but it sure is funny!

Sharks scare the shit out of me. I guess watching Jaws at the tender age of 5 wasn't such a good idea. It might have more relevance back when I lived near the coast, but considering I live in Colorado, it shouldn't be a big problem. When I watch Jaws, I even put my legs up on the couch cuz I'm worried they'll get bitten off. Crazy, huh?

Mannequins....mine stems from that stupid B horror movie Tourist trap lol. My sister and I watched that movie when we were kids and in the movie the mannequins jaws would drop open and make this ghostly ahhhhhhhhh sound. My sister, who is 7 years younger than me, would hide in my room unbeknownst to my mother, and after the tucked me in at night she would be under the bed making that noise.

To this day its all I can think about when I see mannequins.

I am an extremely paranoid person. I fear sharks in my small above ground swimming pool -I think this could be from movies I watched as a kid like 'house', 'poltergeist' etc. I would stay up late from about the age of 5 with my mum and watch the scariest movies and freak myself out so bad that I wouldn’t sleep for days at a time. I never told my mum this though cause then I would miss out on the late night movie…figure that one out.
I also freak myself out when I ‘m alone, it could be anywhere alone and I will think someone or something is going to attack me or kill me –of course when I confronted a man trying to break into my house last year I think it totally increased my paranoia –and I thought I couldn’t get any worse!

I'm pretty scared of large roaches and waterbugs. It's the dumbest thing because they can't hurt you at all. I don't even think they can bite you. But the way they look freaks me out so much. When i see one, dead or alive, I start to get the shivers. And I always want to kill them so they can't reproduce but then I think about the crunching sound they make when you step on them and that freaks me out too. So I just let them crawl away. Bah.
Oh yeah...and centipedes. Nothing should have that many legs! *shiver*


*edit* Although I like shrimp, they always remind me of roaches because of their crunchy looking outer shell. When I eat them, I struggle to get the idea that they are roaches of the sea out of my mind....and that I'm eating roaches. So in a way, crabs, shrimp, and lobster freak me out by their bug-like appearance.

Spiders freak me out sometimes. When I used to visit my grandparent's farm as a kid there were these "banana" spiders, I don't know what they're actually called, that got to be a pretty big size. I would see them sitting on their web, spread out to the size of a coffee saucer and find a brick to throw at them. From a long way away. Little spiders don't scare me, but then they get big I get the willies.

To have my wrists cut. It started freaking me out 8 years ago or so .. now it has evolved to a real phobia. Cuts (only with a knife) scares me in general, but it's the wrists that freaks me out.

When and if I see it on TV I'll twist and turn in my chair and probably leave the room feeling sick if the image doesn't go away.

The wierd thing is that it's 10 times worse if the cut is horizontal, than if it's cut in the direction of the blood veins, wich I know is a lot more lethal. It's not logical, but it still freaks me out.

Birds.

I love watching birds and feeding birds, but I cannot STAND to be around one of those cockatoo thingees sitting on a perch outside of a cage somewhere. I won't walk anywhere near them, and the birds all seem to know this. If there's a cockatoo or parrot or something sitting out somewhere at a display, he'll fly straight at me and scare the ever-fucking shit out of me. And he won't fly at anybody else; just me.

My mother also had this exact same terror of loose birds.

My wife and I had a Mardi Gras mask once that was blue and fashioned out of bird feathers with a little beak attached. It was very pretty, until..... One night she put it on and jumped at me out from behind a door. My reaction was so severe that I pretty much blacked out and she thought she'd killed me. Apparently I stood frozen for several seconds moaning senseless syllables at the top of my voice. Then, I ran full speed through the house. I don't really remember much. We threw the mask away.

It's absolutly rediculous, but here's my thing. I can't stand parking garages. Every time I'm in one, I have this overwhelming fear it's going to cave in on me and kill me. Very scary stuff, to me anyways.

Falling from a high distance. I'm not scared of heights or anything like that. Its just that my dreams that scare me the most are the ones where I'm falling and can't stop. Come to think of it I don't think its the falling at all but the sudden stop at the end that scares the shit out of me.

I swam as fast as I could in the freezing water and had to be taken to a hospital.

Snakes, I am terrified of any snake-- large or small, venomous or not. If I even see one on tv it will give me nightmares!

I also have a fear of looking out a window at night and seeing a face right there..looking back in. So any horror movie with that in it, scares the crap outta me!

i get a bit squirmish thinking about this too, though it isnt a fear. When i was in year 9 (dont know what grade that translates to in the american school system) a girl in my DT/woodwork class was using a sander which was a machine with a bigish circle of wood which span round incredibly fast. it was covered in sandpaper material to sand whatever you pushed in to it. Well this girl was using the sander and was pushing her wood into the wheel. She slipped and her fingers on both hands went straight into the sanding wheel, spraying blood and probably nail over herself and the floor.

Before that experience i was never squeemish about blood but since then i dont like the sight at all. I also get a bit squeemish about my nails being ripped off by stuff.

I have an insane fear of heights. I've never fallen from any major height but I can not even stand to see people on TV high up. More specifically, it's fear of being high up without any safety measures to protect you. Whenever I see that famous picture of the men on beams building the Empire State Building, I literally feel dizzy my stomach jumps into my throat and my heart starts to race as if I were actually standing up there.

I also have a fear of deep water. The thought that all that water is under me and anything could be down there just freaks me out. Not really sharks just "something". Did anyone ever see those movies where Judd Nelson is a killer and has a "garden" of bodies in the bottom of a lake? That's the kind of "something" that gets in my head, or possibly some undiscovered sea/lake creature.

Spiders, especially one's with thick bodies or are hairy, no matter how small. The thought of them crawling on my body gives me the heebie geebies. I hate waking up with a spider bite and knowing one was on me while I slept. They are facinating creatures, I just don't want one within 50 ft. of me unless it's in a closed tank, otherwise it's dead meat.

I hope you know that those things have blue blood. Nice to know isnt it?

As for me, my inane fear would have to be social situations involving people I don't know, but I think I'm getting over that.

Not really a fear, but something that bothers me is the thought of internet acronyms like 'LOL' and contractions like 'B4' and 'ur' never going away and becoming acceptable as common speech. Everytime I read a post or a message that has these in it I can feel my intelligence melting away.

Between parking my car and walking to my front door, I used to sometimes look into my neighbour's window - you know, nothing special, just being nosey. One day, looking in, at the end of his front-room, just sitting quietly on a wooden chair, looking out towards the window, with his hands resting gently on his knees, was a boy with a dogs head. I tried to look away, but couldn't. And he just sat there, staring out into space.

That and having a vague suspicion that *something* is not quite right blatantly confirmed despite your best efforts to keep things *normal*. Other scary things; seeing up an old ladies skirt, wasted youth, dying horribly, getting my head, arm or other limb stuck in a hole, surgery, scientology, martyrs, war, falling in love, going crazy and worst of all, scared people with guns and mob psychology - it all gives me the heebie-geebies.
