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*

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

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

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

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.

Water I can't see through. There are bodies in the lake! :fpcry:

Hemophobia (is that even a word?)
Phobophobia
Entophobia
Agorophobia

[Qq=Leeza]Heights.[/Qq]

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

Height and darkness.

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.

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.
