I absolutely refuse to use a spoon, but sporks are fine. I was traumatized by this guy...he always ate with a spoon, no matter what he was eating.<br /> Because of this same guy, I also strongly dislike almost all men...however, I have a strange need to just cuddle with a guy. I'm not a cuddly person, per se, but I wanna cuddle XD...I have a fear of being rejected, and due to this I have the most odd and unnatural talent. I can lie impulsively to the point where I genuinely believe it myself, and I've tried telling people, but something always stops me..this is the most I've ever said about my fears..ever. So..yeah lol..

Well... If it makes sense at all.... I'm afraid of dead fish. Just something about them creeps me out. When a friend's fish floats, I end up on the far opposite side of the house. I had a traumatizing experience... >.>

I have severe arachnophobia. I'm scared of spiders on the ground, but a spider on the wall or the ceiling makes me break into nausea, sweats, vertigo, and of course severe feelings of terror. <br /> <br /> I know most people don't like spiders, and many people are rightly wary of them... but it's not normal to feel so terrified that you vomit.

Trypophobia. I'm somewhat okay, around even holes, but it's uneven holes, that look like they have things in them... oh gods, panic attack coming on just thinking about it.<br /> <br /> <br /> I USED to have a phobia of the dentist but I got over that. Though now it seems replaced with an ever worsening fear of breaking my fillings/getting cavities which is borderline turning into a phobia.

sorry for having to bring a dead thread back.<br /> <br /> <br /> I'm a claustrophobic, and I can't say it really bothers me, but I feel like I'm going to die if I'm in small places. So I avoid them. I guess I have It because of my brother. Hes 10+ yrs older than me now, but when I was a toddler, and even now still, he tickled me all the time and the normal brotherly+sisterly stuff. A lot of the time he overpowered me and like sat on me or something and I couldn't breath sometimes xDD<br /> <br /> I'm also afraid of cars. I dunno what the name for it is though. It started way back in kindergarten when I would be dropped of by the bus on my street and walk home. There would always be the same orange truck that pulled out its driveway and almost hit me a few times. It was like near death experiences and I had like flashbacks of memories and stuff. Getting in cars or ones that aren't moving at all doesn't scare me. only if they are coming at me, behind me, or around me in general. I just freeze until its gone and I get chills and wonder if I'll ever get hit with a car xP

I have a friend with globophobia, I myself hate looking in mirrors, its not really a phobia but it does make me very nervous and scared. The only time I look at a mirror is in the morning when I'm getting ready for school

Are you thinking of agoraphobia?

05-10-2012 at 8:47 PM

Well, I've already got my f*cking anxiety disorder crap that alright gets me terrified of a lot of things, but I don't count those as specific phobias. Because everything relating to my anxiety has a tendency to overlap and create a ton of problems.<br /> <br /> The only actual, specific phobia is arachnophobia. Fear of spiders. I'm scared sh*tless of spiders. Had a nightmare about them the other day. Only animals I'm afraid of,actually. All it takes is a slight glance at a photo of one online and I can be freaking out and panicking pretty quickly. Worst part is I'm a zoology major, so I'm going to have to deal with this phobia sooner or later unfortunately. And I'm absolutely terrified of that thought.

05-10-2012 at 4:14 PM

Well, I meant the particular one, at the end. I felt like I was taught in my psychology class about the opposite of claustrophobia...and I don't recall it.

"There's a word for that Blackwolf, the one where you get panic attacks."<br /> <br /> Anybody can have a panic attack because of a phobia if it's severe.

05-10-2012 at 2:26 PM

Thy, I'm sure you know that none of us are going to tell you that. :)<br /> <br />

05-10-2012 at 12:22 PM

I'm afraid of people, to the extent that I won't answer the door. When looking out a window, in the back of my mind I'm concerned that someone driving by might see me. ): I'm also afraid of phones. I refuse to use them, even in minor emergencies. This probably ties in with my fear of people.<br /> <br /> These are extremely debilitating phobias, and the worst part of it is when someone who doesn't understand phobias tells you to 'face your fears' or to 'get over it' x_x if phobias were that easy to overcome, I wouldn't have them, now would I?

05-10-2012 at 11:21 AM

There's a word for that Blackwolf, the one where you get panic attacks. It's not coming to me though. And also, thank you for your contribution, but technically this is in the 18+ talk o.O <br /> <br /> <br /> Surprisingly, I don't have claustrophobia. But if you put me in a GIANT place, like Walmart or BJ's, I get overwhelemed and on a few occassions when young, I passed out in BJ's. The scary thing is that each time before I did, I thought i saw blood everywhere T-T<br /> <br /> So, I won't say it's a phobia, because I can go into the stores perfectly fine, but my subconscious apparently doesn't like it. I have to bring sugar drinks with me whenever I go to prevent myself from passing out, even now.

05-10-2012 at 6:21 AM

Oh god, Ny. Yessss trypophobia. Nooooo noooo horrible s.hit.

05-9-2012 at 11:30 PM

I've quite a few phobias, my main one is of beed/wasps. The reason I have this phobia is because when I was about 5, I was playing in my backyard and I saw a bee and started running, I turned my head a bit to see if it was chasing me, and I was stung in the eye. A few years later, I was stung in the hand by a wasp. To this day (I'm almost 15), I will almost scream, or scream, whenever one comes within 10 feet of me.<br /> <br /> I was also afraid of balls, basketballs, soccer, baseballs etc. Hitting me in the head due to me facing off against a team when playing soccer in the 4th grade. <br /> <br /> I'm terrified of hights, I use to love it when I was a kid, but for some reason I've grown more and more afraid of heights. I don't believe there's a reason either...<br /> <br /> Let's see, I have panic attacks whenever its hot out, and I'm in a very public place, like big streets of New York or something. Dunno why, but it puts too much pressure on me, and I basically go insane. >.>

05-9-2012 at 9:57 PM

I kinda am too scared to dive deeper into that Ni o.o<br /> <br /> I'm only afraid of something exploding only when im at the gas station. Other than that, I don't really think about it...

05-9-2012 at 9:43 PM

I have a <i>wicked</i> fear of balloons, propane tanks, grills, basically anything that can explode. <br /> <br /> I also have trypophobia. (It's really freaking sickening, so feel free to google it at your leisure.)

05-9-2012 at 2:24 PM

Moths. I can't even be in the same room as one. Can't even look at a photo of one. If there is one on my back or front porch and I have to go outside, I will go the long route.<br /> To me, there is nothing more terrifying than a fuzzy, chubby, fast, erratic, moth flying around. My skin is starting to f.ucking crawl just thinking about it.

05-8-2012 at 10:27 PM

I don't like balloons either. Makes me nervous when I'm in the same room as them.<br /> <br /> I have a fear of the unknown after death. It keeps me awake if I think too hard about it, just.. freaks me out. At the same time though I have a fascination of it.
