Phobia!!

Well, since the older thread is dated back two years ago, so Imma open new thread

Let's talk about fears, otherwise known as phobias.

Well, I have phobia towards boobs. Uh, yeah. Does anyone else have phobia towards those naturally-occurring pair of what I am phobic of?

I am curious if anyone else has the same phobias as I do or y'all have totally different phobias towards anything else that I am not phobic of.

♥♥♥♥ing spiders
I swear, ♥♥♥♥ them. I try to be nice, but they are just there, staring at me with those evil ♥♥♥♥ing eyes. WE HAVE PUNY ONES HERE APPARENTLY, I've seen pics/videos of gigantic ones, hell no.
I was just playing Resident Evil 2, and I made it to the sewers, and THEY JUST HAD TO PUT ♥♥♥♥ING HUGE SPIDERS IN IT. I stopped playing for two days, seriously.
♥♥♥♥ them.
Too much ♥♥♥♥s? lol. Still, ♥♥♥♥ them. Why can't they have less eyes and legs like every other thing. seriously. stupid design, stupid webs, stupid everything.

♥♥♥♥, this has gone on long enough.

I can't stop thinking of spiders now, ♥♥♥♥ing hell.

I am afraid of the dark.

I truly am.



Not being able to see in front of me into this dark abyss scares the absolute ♥♥♥♥ out of me. What's beyond that? Who's looking back at me? Those questions always strike me straight to the soul. It's so bad that I can't sleep without a night light, and I'm 21 years old for christ sakes.

Same goes for open deep water. If I can't see the bottom, then I ain't ♥♥♥♥ing jumping in.

Two things. One of them is a probably real phobia, the other one is just me being a pussy.

Real phobia: centipedes.

It's such an irrational and overwhelming fear that I literally can't handle it. No matter if it moves or stands still, if I stand a centipede, I'm likely to break into tears and become paralyzed and scream for help and feel helpless. I often have to handle them on my own, because for some reason these creatures enjoy randomly dropping up in the bathroom - where I'm naked and feel vulnerable - and it's ridiculous, we have no spiders, no ants, nothing, just these damned centipedes and then I have to somehow kill the beast (I usually go with hot water + the first cleaning chemical I find [hypo]) and deal with nightmares or just random shaking because I just... yeah.

I hate them.

Being a pussy: childbirth

WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA.
I mean I want my children. No, I don't want to adopt. But why... why can't kids just... be a bit smaller? Or something? Come out of the mouth? Every single time I think of giving birth, I cross my legs. xD
I will deal with it when the time comes for that, I know. Just whwhwhwh. :'>



Centipedes are worse, though.
And funny thing is, as far as I know, they're harmless, but I don't dare to google it or check it on wikipedia, because I don't want to see the pictures. x_x

I fear a lot of things, but I have only one real serious phobia.

Needles.

IVs, shots, leaving a blood sample.
Telling me that you're going to stick a needle in my vein - that is like telling an acrophobiac that you're going to push them off a cliff.

It's not about the pain or anything. I mean, most times you can't even feel it.
It's about SOMETHING UNNATURAL PENETRATING YOUR SKIN TO GO INTO YOUR VEINS.

NOPE. NO.

I really wish I didn't have this phobia, as it always makes doctors appointments AWKWARD LOL.
Doctor: Can I take a blood sample? *prep needle*
Buu: No.
Doctor: Okay, ju-.. What?
Buu: No.

I wish blood samples were done by cutting instead. . ________ .

MY HEART IS RACING JUST WRITING ABOUT IT

Like Eternal Legend, I got this intense fear of the dark. When I was little I used to sleep with nightlights. When I lived with my grandparents for a year when I was four years old, I would frequently go to their room and sleep with them because I was too ♥♥♥♥ing afraid to be in my room by myself.

I still have it. Sometimes it can take me ten, twenty, or even thirty+ minutes to fall asleep because I get all anxious being in the dark. When I'm home alone and have to go out into the dark kitchen or whatever it's kinda scary. I've noticed, however, that I'm alright if someone else is with me.

I'm really afraid of dogs. Canophobia it's called i think. I have an aunt we used to visit and she had like ten dogs that back then were bigger than tiny me. Everytime we entered they would stand around me and bark, I found it absolutely terrifying and I still prefer to avoid dogs. Barking alone is enough to have me jumping to the ceiling.
I nearly got attacked during a delivery job once dogs. I had to walk up to a door, which was next to a window and suddenly a dog was hanging out of it trying to bite me, I nearly had a heart-attack, threw down the package and ran away praying it wouln't chase me.

I really dislike spiders, but I guess the phobic part of that is I'm afraid of getting spider bites. Since I'm allergic to a lot of things (and swell up fairly dramatically) I'm guessing that a bite from a spider would do some real damage. I found a wolf spider in our house once and that really freaked me out because those things are huge. T_T

I'm sure Centipedes have very poisonous venom, maybe it's just a certain kind but I know i've heard that the are dangerous.

Anyway I'm not sure of the official terms but my phobias are...

Insects: Spiders & Butterflies/Moths mostly but any insect makes me feel uncomfortable, whenever a Butterfly comes near me in public I'm terrified but i don't wanna react which makes it worse haha.

Heights, I've always been afraid of heights ever since I can remember. Anything above about 30ft is too high for me. Not sure if this fits in with heights but I'm terrified of rollercoasters too .

Another kinda wierd one that isn't exactly a phobia but touching people's hands, whenever i shake someones hand or whatever I just constantly think what if they haven't washed them after being to the bathroom or if they've stuck it down their pants...ergh! I have to wash my hands as soon as I can after that.

Wierd I know...

this this this this this this
oh god this. ;____; spiders are truly the worst things ever.


AND NEEDLES TOO WHYYYY

this thread makes me want to cry so much.

Deep water. I just can't stay floating in water when I have no idea what is beneath me. The water also needs to be clear so I can see the ground.

I think I might have a mild phobia for spiders as well. Not those really, really tiny ones though. I can stay in the same room as one and stuff, but I will not be nowhere near it. they're soooo ♥♥♥♥ing gross!

I'd say my worst phobia is vomit/vomiting (emetophobia is the official term for it). Being exposed to it (in real life or on TV) makes me feel very anxious and I automatically look away because seeing it starts to make me feel sick. I can't take seeing others vomit and I'm literally disgusted by myself if I ever do vomit (I don't even want to look at what came out of me). In fact, if I ever feel nauseous, I'll try to psyche myself into making it go away just so that I don't throw up. Even seeing it on the floor and not seeing someone actually throw up freaks me the hell out and the smell of it is really the worst odor to me. I would rather smell anything else but that.

I honestly don't know why I developed this phobia, but it makes the idea of having children difficult for me because children do vomit from time to time. My mother always insists "if it's your own, you won't be grossed out by it" - which gets on my nerves because I feel like she's downplaying and not really getting how much of an issue this is for me. And I'd never want a child to feel bad for being sick because his or her mother is disgusted by vomit.

Another phobia I have is insects.

I'll be your nanny. I have no issue with puking, and I don't know why. I can't smell it normally, even. Honky Magoo has thrown up some pretty nasty stuff in the past that I haven't even blinked at... meanwhile, Zach is running out the door screaming about how bad it was.


I don't really know if it can count as a phobia, but I have a pretty intense fear of sleeping with my bedroom door shut. I was always scared, and this is gonna sound stupid, that like... I'd get stuck in there forever, or that there would be a fire and I wouldn't be able to get out (my only window as a kid was a two story drop), or that something would happen to my family and I wouldn't be able to get to them.
After my sleep paralysis episode last year it really just kinda... recharged the fear.

This. Just... this. Spiders are one of my biggest fears. I had one in my room the other night and now it's gone and I'm terrified and oh god someone help me ;__;

Another one of mine is public speaking! BLAH I HATE IT. I get all nervous and mumbly and I just can't form proper sentences. I can't do it. When I was in school I had to get my parents to ask my teachers to let me just present things in front of them alone instead of the entire ♥♥♥♥ing class. That's how bad I am at it. I'm fantastic when it comes to group presentations, but solo? NOPENOPENOPE BAIL OUT NOW GOTTA GO BYE

I mostly have acrophobia (fear of heights) but I also have a strange fear of slugs/maggots. I just hate things without legs...spiders don't bother me.

EDIT: I just researched it, and its called Gastropodaphobia.

Bees/wasps. It seriously affects my everyday functioning. If one comes into sight, I will typically have one of two reactions: I will either become hysterical and run screaming and crying, or I will be so terrified that I'd become paralyzed, stuck trembling and wide-eyed like an idiot.

I will go out of my way to avoid crossing the path of one, and a summer day at the park or pool is torture for me, as they tend to love these environments, forcing me to be on edge the entire time, jumping at the sight of flies. I've never even been stung, but I'm pretty much convinced that should it ever happen (God forbid), I'd die on the spot of a heart attack or brain aneurysm.

This fear I believe is somehow related to my fear of needles. Attempts to draw blood or put in an IV will invariably end with me kicking and screaming, and depending on how traumatic the experience is, fainting.

I think I'd be a much happier person if I weren't plagued by this.

Spiders! But think that I'm getting over it!

I've been trying to approach them and let them walk on me for a while now, but it usually just ends up with me killing them! :/

I have a phobia of black and white photos, especially from the early 1900s and before. It's a weird fear, I know. I can't look at old photos my grandparents or family members try to show me without freaking out and having a panic attack or even running off.

I haven't had this fear forever, it started occurring after I stumbled on a picture back in 2008 and the image has been embedded into my head forever.

I'm also afraid of the dark, I can't sleep unless there's some sort of light on in my room.

I am afraid of the dark.

I truly am.

I'm 18 and I sleep with a lava lamp. I've been sleeping with some kind of light in my room for 19 years now.

Snakes - I freeze up whenever I see just a picture of one, and the reptile houses at zoos give me nightmares. I even find the word snake unsettling. I watched half of The Chamber of Secrets with my eyes closed. Snakes just creep me out - I don't know if it's the fangs, the poison, the hissing noises, the movement, the lack of legs or just the way some of them kill things by crushing them to death, but they just...eurgh. *shudders*

The dead - I don't know if this really counts, but the idea of dead things just gives me the shivers. Especially the thought of something coming back to life. Ghosts are fine, it's just bodies. When I was little I was terrified by Egyptian mummies - I remember running off crying once in a museum because they had mummies, and back then I was convinced there was one living under my bed so every night I would sprint at it from the other side of my room and leap on from a distance so it couldn't grab my ankles or anything.
I don’t quite believe that now, but the idea of corpses and zombies still scares me.

Water - I'm not scared of water itself, but I have a couple of fears relating to it. Deep water scares me for some reason, and also being underwater, especially if I can't see. I hate not being able to breathe, and drowning is one of the worst ways to die that I can think of.
I can't deal with sailing either - I just sit there gripping the sides and trying not to think about capsizing.

I'm also a bit claustrophobic - I hate my face being covered, or just being confined in any way. It kind of explains my water-related fears and some of the snake ones.

And lastly, most of the ZU sections outside of Nayru. Wait...
