Your Phobias

<div class="IPBDescription">What do YOU fear?</div> All of us have some phobias. Tell what phobia(s) you have and give an example of a situation?

I have some level of arachnophobia. Spiders just look disgusting and scary. But I prefer to kill them with my Airsoft Glock 17 instead of running away screaming <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

Last summer I had a problem with spiders. I saw two or three daily in my room. They aren't big (big ones are as big as my thumbs nail) or poisonous, I just have arachnophobia. One night it was very hot in my room and I was trying to sleep when I felt a sweat drop on my back. But wait! It's going upwards!!! Faster than lightning I turned my hand into an unnatural position, grabbed the "sweat drop" and threw it on the floor. And surprise, surprise!! It was the biggest spider I had seen that whole summer. Though I executed the little abomination with my Airsoft gun, I didn't sleep well in a week. PLUS I hurt my shoulder when I grabbed the spider. I couldn't move it properly for a few days

    That must look awesome.

    And I have arachnaphobia as well. I kill them too. Nerf guns were made for a reason! Bwahahaha.

    ::EDIT:: However I was freaked the hell out when I saw <a href='http://www.uark.edu/depts/entomolo/museum/dolomede.html' target='_blank'>THIS spider.</a> I put a cup over it, slid a paper under it, and kept it as a pet for about 2 days. It was so big you can see it drink. O_o

    I cant stand spiders, I was showering once and on the outside of my shower curtain there was a big nasty black widdow. I freaked, I had to go to the kitchen get a broom and knock it down the drain, then i poured liquid plummer dwon there to make sure it was dead.

    FAAAARG just thinking about it bothers me.

    Same here, not that big, but still.

    I'm also afraid in closed elevators with no glass. Damn scary I tell you.

    My biggest fear must be fear for deep open area's. Not just open, but deep open.
    Wouldn't want to open my eyes underwater in the 3m area in the pool. Just imagine that dark blue open area, god that is freaking scary.

    Up north in the lake there's little ridges, they're about 5 feet deep, but then they drop off to 35 feet on either side...I'm a good swimmer, but I don't like swimming over stuff that I can't see the bottom to.

    Ohh, and my room (at home) is in the basement, I get about 1 spider bite a week...they're a lot like misquito bites...they're really annoying. They why I crush the little [censored] whenever I see them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    I guess...what I really fear (as neither of the afforementioned are remotely close to phobias...I swam over the deep water willingly, and can do it whenver I want...not a big fan of sea weed either, but pffft, it's all over when you swim in a lake - and spiders....my rooms in the basement...) would be...I dunno...centipedes creep me out a little..but if I see one I just crush it (I don't go in there home, they should stay the hell out of mine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).

    I guess, I pretty much fear no physical object or occurance. Heights, awesome, love them; snakes, awesome too; death, inevitable - no reason to fear it....well, I'm out of examples now. My only real phobia would be fear of rejection (or being unnoticed) by women..but it's not really a fear...it's more of something that just...<i>is</i>.

    Yea, it looks pretty funny. Once I had borrowed a gas-airsoft gun from a friend to test it. While I was testing it, a spider crawled on my foot. *BLAM*, a big, blue bruise and spider legs all over my leg.

    And if I saw THAT spider, running and screaming like a girl wouldn't sound like a bad option at all <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    I use my airsoft Beretta 92f to kill cockroaches and flies. If I see one in my dorm, it dies. Ive been known to kill flies at 10 paces, left handed. (Im right handed, but for some reason, I actually seem to aim better with my left)

    Phobias? Writing papers.
  • SycophantSycophant Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 7092Members
    I don't seem to have any phobias that I'm aware of (yet), but I'm usually uncomfortable in narrow/small spaces.

    For example: in Aliens, when Bishop gets into the pipe and they weld it shut. That <i>would not</i> be me. I'd be way too freaked out. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hopefully no one flames me for this, but homosexual men who make it obvious that they are homosexuals really really scare me. Heights I can live with, hairy spiders I can't. Oh and I have a tiny phobia of Britney Spears.

    Not scared of heights, only of mountains. And when I mean scared of mountains, I mean hanging by a rope as you rapel down a 50 meter cliff on a 4000 meter mountain (bad memories).

    I fear heartbreak, and loneliness... which is ironic... because I'm scared of attachment because I don't want my heart broken, and that leaves me being lonely...

    but in the more literal sense, I think I'm alien-phobic, which makes it strange that I play NS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> but seriously, any movie about aliens that's done well enough, terrifies me... books too...

    Yea I know how that feels I got burned and it's like scared me or something cos I hadn't had a relationship for ages until now even now tho I feel awkward all the time when I wanna express my feelings for her like I'm affraid to get emotionaly attached or something.

    Other phobias would be high hights walking on the roof of my house (normal terraced house) is okay but thinking of even doing the same on a house 3 times the hight of mine makes my hands sweat.

    Not to keen on swimming in water where I cannot see the bottom :/ like to far out at sea etc

    I think I have a variant of Tachophobia, which is the fear of speed. I'm OK going along a road but if I fall (eg roller coaster, parachute tower) at a high speed then I just hate it.

    I don't know if it's a phobia. But spiders are just disgusting, I don't want their nastyness touching me.

    I fear bees, because if they sting me I die. I am also desperately afraid of being alone. I don't just mean relationship-wise (although that's part of it). If there's noone around I can't somehow be talking to or listening to someone (music, TV, evan talkign to peopel online) I get REALLY scared, and I just want to run to where there will be people and I won't be afraid anymore. It's been getting better lately, but even a year ago if I was in a room alone I would start to hyperventilate and just flip out.

    Tall buildings. Don't know why but they just freak me out.

    I can be half clmbing up a hill, look down into the tarn below and not be at all bothered.
    Take me up a water tower and I can't stand up even at the center.
    Weird or what?

    I don't have phobias in a normal since, but I do get really nervous around girls with out boy friends. I a girl has a boy friend I can talk to her just fine, but if she doesn't I just freeze up. Maybe I'm just shy.
