[Project G]

[HOOTERS]

Not here. Try asking at Fools Gold.

[Polaris]

Being locked at a lift.

[Misfit]

Bugs. They scare me. Really badly. :l

[P8]

and not needles for tapping blood, but needles for anaesthesia in my mouth, RAAAA, got a real bad trauma of that; became a muTANT thanks to that :D nvm, Dutch joke :D

[Logan]

Giving speeches, and spiders.

[Ichy]

I have a severe fear of 2 things. Not having enough money to live comfortably... and the monster I become when I'm wasted.

[Rainecloud]

Underwater machinery. And yes, I'm being serious.

[P8]

haha, whys that? you mean underwater camera's etc?

[Leeza]

Heights.

[TasteyPies]

Spiders and being in small spaces, air ducts ect.

[Masami]

I'm afraid of heights. But I use it to my advantage, it makes theme park rides more fun. ^_^

[Kirobaito]

OMG. Spiders. Ick. :grover:

[HanaKirei]

*cracks knuckles and clears throat* Lesse here...I'm scared of spiders, bugs, needles, inclosed spaces, ghosts, aliens, things that go bump in the night, the dark (yes, I'm sometimes still scared of the dark - but usually only after I've had a freaky dream or I hear some sort of unexplainable noise and freak out; or if somebody I don't know starts knocking on my window at 4am), blood (all up to circumstance - I can take blood in small doses, movies, animated form, and so on; but if someone in real life is gushing blood, I'll freak), dying, losing what I care about, hospitals, people sneaking up behind me, horror movies, zombies, and the list goes on. o_o; As you can see, I scare kinda easily.

[m4tt]

Spiders, heights, and tall goofy guys that like to grope.

BOO!!!

Anyway, I have hydrophhbia. I am ok with taking showers and stuff. But pools scare the crap out of me. If I walk by the edge of it, I try to stay as far away as possible for fear of falling in. I guess I'm afraid of drowning. It scares me just thinking about the water rushing into my lungs and...*shudders*

[System Id]

Public speaking and snakes. I just hope I never have to give a speech to an audience of snakes. I'd be in big trouble. :p

[Rye]

Big waves. I had nightmares a lot about huge Tsunamis coming down on me...

[Peegee]

falling from heights. I can do roller coasters with loops with no problem (actually I love them), but things like that human pendulum or skydiving? Hell no. I think I also would still have a problem climbing down a cliff :o

[Leeza]

Public speaking and snakes. I just hope I never have to give a speech to an audience of snakes. I'd be in big trouble. :p
Right. I forgot about that public speaking phobia thing that I also have.

Whoops, forgot about those. I've almost fainted quite a few times while speaking in public. Snakes give me the boo-boo-jeebies.

[Shlup]

[Jebus]

Heights.

I'm absolutely terrified of heights. I started getting vertigo on the top of the bleachers at school and that's not even that high up. Just thinking about it makes me nervous.

[DeBlayde]

I think it's kinda funny that phobia, a fear which totally unhinges and brings on a panic attack, has become just something that creeps you out. :)

me, i've got fears, sure. don't let them keep me from doing anything. usually if i'm scared of something, it's motivation to go and do it.

One of the most common phobias, agoraphobia, hasn't been mentioned. it's the fear of open/unfamiliar places. nobody? no? oh. disappointment.

for point of reference, Ansem, phobia of heights is called acrophobia. don't know why. peculiarity of Latin, I guess. :)

[SomethingBig]

I have social phobia(social anxiety disorder), a HUGE fear of heights(and roller coasters look so cool, too :cry:), I have a fear of being alone, I have a fear of going to far from the beach.

[Jebus]

DeBlayde reminded me. I do have slight agoraphobia, as in I start getting nervous in open spaces, but I haven't been out long enough to find out if I actually panic or not. To make things worse I'm also claustrophobic. Open spaces and closed spaces, bad combo.

[Shoeberto]

Height and darkness.

[Montoya]

Necrophobia.

I am a little afraid of public speaking, but not enough that I freak out. I still public speak even though I get very nervous.

[DMKA]

Bugs. They scare me. Really badly. :l
Yeah...same here. I also have that open where I'm scared of like...big open space with no other life around...like rural areas...like here, which is why I never go outside unless I'm going somewhere...I must have people around (which is why I'll be overjoyed when I return to Norwalk, CA in a couple days:D). Also, I have fearaphobia...I fear fear.

[HanaKirei]

BOO!!!

Ieeeeeeeeeeee!!! O_O;;; *hides*

[fire_of_avalon]

I don't have any phobias.

[DMKA]

Well you do now :evilking:

[Rusty]

knives and heights.

[Fuzakeru]

I have plenty of fears but only one phobia. I'm not talking, "Eh that creeps me out!" but . . . "HOLY -insert random 'naughty' words in here-!"
Clowns. I forgot what the name of that phobia is but I can not look at a clown and feel safe. I can handle it on TV ( not IT . . . ) but not in real life, EVER! I last saw one at the St. Patrick's Day Parade and I ran screaming from it and nearly ran over our band's Tuba Player.

[Project G]

So you do have phobias, but do you know what they are called???? because I do

[TasteyPies]

I have the phobia of not know what phobias are called...uh whats it called again.. AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meat Puppet]

I'm afraid of being in a large crowd of people who I am roughly familiar with. I'm fine with strangers.

Isn't that like...fear of things like the guy in my sig/avatar?

[Fuzakeru]

O_o @ the Anthro comment. Dude, that's wrong. XD!

[Meat Puppet]

I may or may not be afraid of that guy in devilmaykickasses signature/avatar.

[Project G]

Isn't that like...fear of things like the guy in my sig/avatar?
no, its a fear of people and society

Oh yeah, Tasteypies your phobia is called phobiaphobia. Seriously

[Lord Xehanort]

Isn't it Phobaphobia? Fear of one's own fears.

[Mikztsu]

No, no fobias, but I don't like heights too much. I love flying, rollercoasters etc, but for example if I look down from a very high roof or something like that, I feel scared. So you could say I fear the prospect of falling a lot, from the places I could easily fall if I screwed up somehow.

It was horrible when I was a kid; my friends always wanted to climb on high places ( like ladders to some factories chimneys and other stuff) and of course I wouldn't admit to them that I'm afraid, nor did I want it to show from me. So Mik climped and climped tens of meters high places scared for his life. *_<

But it's not fobia, as I love high places that are safe and I know I can't fall from there. *loves take-off and landing in airplane*

[Project G]

Isn't it Phobaphobia? Fear of one's own fears.

To be honest, I don't know, Doom told me that one, so blame him if its wrong

[Ichy]

It's really quite interesting to observe how many people seem to mistake simple Vertigo as a fear of heights. Many times when you look down from a high place your brain will not be able to process depth perception as quickly as your eyes can feed the information they are recieving. This triggers dizziness, and sometimes even a minor loss of motor control, a reaction built into us as a defense mechanism that forces upon us the powerful instinct to back away from what we perceive to be the danger to our well being. We call this Vertigo.

In as much, often times what may be claimed as a fear of heights can really be attributed as a fear of one's lack of total self control.
