    Me too. Tarantulas are cool.

    While I'm not afraid of bugs/spiders, I absolutely HATE them. Like, I torture them. Rip their legs off, drown them in the toilet. I'm not the mean cruel type, and I don't do it to the bugs due to any sort of satisfaction with maiming them. I do it because the deserve it. I enact rightous vengence on bugs and spiders.

    For some reason I get really uncomfortable when I'm by myself in OPEN spaces. Stick me in a closet and I'm fine, but if I'm at my parents house or at work and I'm by myself I have to shut doors to enclose the place more. Its only when I'm alone though.

    [edit]
    And related to this, just now I caught myself for some reason looking over my shoulder into my living room for no reason, just making sure nobody is there I guess?
    [/edit]

    oh and I'm also slightly obsessive compulsive. Not to an unhealthy amount though. I just don't touch the doornob on a public bathroom, I use a paper towel or my shirt sleeve. You know how many people take a dump then don't wash their hands...

    I have phobiaphobia, fear of fear. This thread is really frightening for me.

    Plus I start thinking about the fact that I might get scared and I get scared about maybe getting scared, also works if someone else gets scared cause then I'm scared about whatever just scared them scaring me.

    I have acrnophobia. Spiders make me terrified..all kinds. MOst bugs do.

    I also have an unhealthy fear of getting sick, or diseased...it's really almost enough to drive me mad.

    I wouldnt say im afraid of heights, but I get uneasy if I feel really exposed in a high up place. For example, theres a glass elevator that goes up this tower at a nearby amusement park (Kings Island if anyone is from around Ohio ^_^). I feel a bit uneasy going up that, knowing the cable could snap or whatnot. Im fine once I get to the top though, and am on more solid ground.

    I hate bugs. I dont care what kind of bugs, I hate them. So I suppose thats my only real fear.

    I have this HUGE fear for spiders, they are just so ugly and big ,with huge legs.

    Also I'm afraid of not breathing, i mean something solid blocking my windpipe. That would be a trauma, i was once in a lan and my windpipe got completely block by Fleghm, at first i tried to spit it and stuff but i saw it was too much so i panicked. The owner tried to help me but i was really panicking and moving a lot, in the end a guy hit me so hard at the back i gave a HUGE burp and coughed it all out, god that was scary.

    I thought i was gonna faint or die.

    Heights, bugs, spiders, bug-hole looking things (ie holes poked in eraser) and bugs. And slimy stuff. Ugh. I hate slimy stuff.

    On that smae note, I am not afraid of the dark, its just what I can't see out there that creeps me out.

    I fear heights a bit, but spiders and insects the worst.

    I fear going deaf or blind worse than anything.

    I live on music and art. If I lost either, I'm sure I'd also lose my will to live.

    Meh. Spiders must die. And ants. And flying insects. They all must die. Too bad one day they'll rule the world. It's inevitable!

    Who takes a dump and then opens the door from the other side?

    Seriously though, spiders. Bleh.

    i hope never and never and never again to live together with a girlfriend, this is my 3th and 2 of them got pregnant within 6 months.
    so now i have a 6 month old baby and a daughter of 7 and a slavelife instead of a good game-smoke life <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    also i'm astmatic and allergic to animals so i fear them, i defenitly don't want a drugs control in my brand new car with dogs cuz i can't drive home with it.

    if I really have to fear something then take my parents, they live in a museum, can you imagine growing up in a place where you can't touch stuff?, a computer is forbidden and all the love and care goes to the animals so what's left for me? (NS!)

    Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's a phobia. Saying you have arachnaphobia just because you squish spiders is in no way a phobia at all. A phobia sends you into a nervous wreck where you panic, you don't know what to do, and in general, freak out.


    I'm really not scared of anything. I get a bit nervous at heights, but it's not like I panic and try to get as far away from them as possible. I don't fear death, as I live with no regrets. I like spiders too, exception being Garden Spiders, as they're just ick.

    I have a fear of being soffocated by clothing. Think of a large dense pile of clothing and not being able to get any air. I guess it stems from some half dream/half real scenarios I used to go through every once in a while where I would effectively be dreaming that I was face down somewhere and had to fight to turn over. It normally took every last bit of effort I could muster. What was really happening was I was face down on my bed and not getting enough air, hence all the needed effort. As soon as I turned back over I was fine.

    Insects and heights

    But of course, Im curing the latter first. The former can wait.

    I hate spiders. And anything with more than four legs really. And if it has four les, it had better have fur of some kind, or chances are i'll hate that too.

    I hate really big things in the water, if i'm in the water too. This one time, me and my grandad were out in this little fishing boat thingy on holiday in the middle of the sea (not erally, but we couldn't clearly see land, and this was like, a 3 man boat), and we got a wire caught around the propeller, and this really, erally big boat came past and almost capisized us. So yeah. Also, really big things UNDER the water, i think this one came from a dream i had, dunno why.

    I don't like hurting people or things, which is a pain, because i hate spiders, i can't be in the same room as one without moving everytime the spider does, but i can't kill it because i don't think it's fair to take it out just because it annoys me.

    i don't like open places with a lot of people, it's like i can hear them thinking, and they're all thinking about me, which is really, really freaky because you start to think "what if i'm NOT insane, and i really can read minds?" and then i get in a strange mood and start talking to myself so people get out of my way.

    Pressure, fire, or water, that i can not get away from. I know this is a bit obvious really, but the idea of burning to death, being crushed to death, or being suffocated sometimes makes me cry just thinking about it. it's not really a fear of death because being shot in the head doesn't really scare me. I also get incredibly violent if i think that any of these things is going to happen. This one time, a kid was sitting on my head (strange times) and it felt like my head was crushing, and i picked him up and threw him about 5 metres (i'm not normally a violent person), and this girl tried to push me in a lake, and i broke 2 knuckles on her teeth (she asked for it. and it was funny anyway).

    So yeah, stuff scares me.

    I reckon spiders are cool! Hate ants but always biteing ya for no reason, but spiders you leave them alone and they will leave you alone.

    I don't really have any phobias but i get really scared when i know something bad is going to happen, like i can feel my heart like its coming out of my chest. I don't mind heights much but once i did rock climbing. Man i was scared when i had to take off the hook thing that was holding me. I had a death grip on the rock.

    Spiders:

    If I see one, I'll snuff it out casually with like a paper towel and down the toilet, or a shoe.. if a spider makes it on me... off me, onto the floor, into a paper towel, into an ash tray, and LIT ON FIRE! lol, if a spider runs from me, you best have fire insurance cause I WILL torch the place to kill it. Ugh

    Reasons why I fear them?:

    1) Movie : Aracniphobia (sp?)

    2) Class fieldtrip Senior year to Brazil in S. America. A huge tarantula JUMPED onto my face, as in literally jumped from a tree trunk, right onto the bridge of my nose and as soon as my eyes went crosseyed we met eyes (2) to eyes (8). In no less than the time it took to jump on me I had already given it a proper burial half a foot into the ground by stomping with my heel repeatidly lol.

    I also have a slight phobia of dieing, not necessarily death, but rather the manner of death to come. Anxiety maybe?

    Heights is another big one but oddly I dont mind rapelling from extreme heights, prob cause I trust my gear, but like standing on the edge of the grand canyon lookin over.. uh uh, hell no lol.

    Phobia of Jellyfish (Particulary the Man o' War)

    Reguarding insects and marine life, if it has more than 4 legs, it needs to die. yes that includes octopi lol. I blame 2000 leagues under the sea for THAT phobia. Blech.

    Man, that is so true. Though I have arachnophobia, I can still handle my self if I see a spider like <a href='http://www.ofw.fi/oo/Kuvagalleria/Ympa_kurssi/b21.htm' target='_blank'>this</a> (those are the biggest spiders in Finland, but I havent seen a black one (or any that big!)), but when I have to do a presentation for my class, I completely lose my ability for logic thinking and control over what I say. And it's so embarrasing it only gets worse!

    I cant imagine how scared I would be if I saw a spider even as big as my eraser (which is 3,5cm x 2,5cm).

    But for some reason I don't fear other bugs. Once I had a big beetle climbing up my leg, but instead of crushing it, I took it into my hands and let it go without feeling any level of disgustion or fear. I have carried bumble bees out of the house with bare hands (I grabbed it from the sides so that it couldn't sting me). And I don't even hate other bugs (except flies and mosquitoes <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).

    OMG that is the biggest spider ever. I don't have a fear for spiders but Mosquitos. I have this thing for losing blood. When I get blood drawn from me, it doesnt bother me if I dont see it, but when I do, I get really squeamish. Mosquitos aren't a problem until they make themselves know by buzzing in my ear. Then I jump up almost knocking my mouse over, run to the kitchen, get two slippers, air freshener, and a flashlight. It's like vampire hunting a freakin tiny **** fly. I get so paranoid when I know there is a mosquito in my room, I start to feel things crawling on me(its just in my head) and I get itches(in my head) like a mosquito is biting me. I need to see a pyschiatrist. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
