Strange phobias.

I'm really scared of moths and butterflies. Until a few hours ago, I was convinced that moths landed on people and bit them... :D Also, I've freaked out in the shower a few times, after spotting the whirlpool at the plug-hole. Whirlpools scare me sh*tless. They really do. And yet I'm fascinated by them. I'm devoting a whole art project to whirlpools, which shows it's an irrational fear. Maybe. I can't have baths because I freak out. That's all because I went swimming once, and some little sod jumped on me and I almost drowned. Relating to that, I'm scared of swimming in deep water on my own ever since that. Jaws didn't help either. So, does anybody else have strange fears, or share any of mine?

needles and clowns

*shudders* :(

Oh Boris...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh yeah my phobia has to be... Psy. :(

I don't like the ocean, and I don't like cockroaches, and I don't like the thought of eternity, but none of those are active phobias except the last one.

I have a phobia against being dressed up as Dame Edna and being forced to perform "I will survive" on stage, while dancing with a pole.

Birds (or as I like to call them: 'Devil's spawn').

My Mom made me see a Psychologist about it in High School. Dude kept asking me about my childhood and stuff.

Charged a bucketload for the session, and yet here I am, still freaked out by birds.

When I was younger I ran away from butterflies, And I am still afraid of the dark.

Dark and the human like dolls, especially dummies. Clowns as well. :/

the floor under recently moved heavy furniture.

Now seems a good time to ask, Do earwigs really go in your ears as you sleep and burst your ear drum? :(

I am sun-phobic, thunderstorm-phobic and bedroom-phobic.
I hate bedrooms. You never know what goes on in there.

You wouldn't be the first... :p

Dolls. Old-style dolls. Well, they're not so much a phobia as a thing that I find creepy but there you go :p

Guys who wear open-toed shoes/sandals. Really. From far away, they're just gross, but up close, it IS really scary.

I have a lot of other phobias (heights/spiders, etc) but these aren't what I would call strange.=/

It's even worse when they wear socks with sandals. :/

I forgot to metion that if I stare at a rainbow, it overwhelms me and I get really scared. I told my mum this and she was like: 'Okaaaaaaay then...' ^_^ My friends all think it's funny though. :bigbiggri

Think of thier hairy legs and tell me men should all wear shorts and open toed sandals... :skull4:

Yuck! *Shivers*

No, he's a human ^_^ We're having an inter-special relationship.

How goes that?

I'm afraid of needles and spiders, to an extent. I can't even watch somebody get a shot, even if it's on TV, but I've never fainted or anything from getting 'em. I've even given blood, twice. But the first time, the guy that was doing it wasn't very good and missed my vein, then pulled the bigass needle out (or is it a catheter? I think those are just for IVs) and tried to hit it again and missed, and when he pulled it back out I knocked it out of his hand and grabbed his collar and told him if he jabs that thing into me again without hitting what it's supposed to, he's the one that's gonna be laying on the table. Yeah, I don't like needles much.

And I wasn't really too afraid of spiders until I went to Iraq, where they have Camel Spiders, which for some reason are attracted to me and like to run up my arms. Two ran up my arm, and one ran over my hand (at different times), and they all scared the hell out of me. By the way, Camel Spiders get bigger than your hand--I've seen 'em with bodies bigger than my fist, and I've got good size hands.

I'd have to say "No" to that.

There are a lot of things that I don't like, but heights would have to be a phobia for me.

Yep. Ever since two or three years ago, it's been impossible. The level of my paranoia has escalated, greatly. Unfortunately.


:D

A thread at FG reminded me, I'm scared pissless of the movie Happily Ever After. I honest to God can't think of anything that scares me more.

Bugs do happen to scare me.

i knew someone once who was pogonophobic :p

I have the fear of:

Having an old man dressed up in a pirate costume tie me down and force feed me centipedes.

What she said, except just add EVERY SINGLE INSECT ALIVE EVER there.

I swear, I'll die of a heart attack someday 'cause a bug landed on me.

There are 3 things I'm scared of! Darkness, Mr Blobby, and Ronald McDonald!

Anyone ever heard of hippotomonstrosesquipadeliaphobia? It's the fear of long words! Quite ironic, eh?

A chance to annoy both Jojo and Misfit? I VOLUNTEER!

Yeah, I was thinking of you when I said someone evil ;)

I used to be afraid of the dark, im not anymore.
I say im afraid of..Daddy longs legs..*squirms*

I don't like moths. At all. The sound they make as they flutter around the light is just...*shudders*

I once got attacked by a moth, It started flying at my neck.. :eek:

I'm not "afraid" of bugs, they just make my skin crawl. When I was little I was at the beach with my mom and somehow I got turned upside down with my head underwater smacking against the bottom. To this day having my head underwater bothers me, or if something covers my head real quick, like if someone were to toss a blanket over me I'd freak out a little til I got it off. I can prepare myself and it won't bother me but suddenly finding my head covered really freaks me out.

I had a dream where a circus lady stabbed me in the back with a knife.....Ive been scared of anybody standing behind me since. makes me shudder! and shaddows...
Kagga :love:

Bananas and feet.
*shudders*
(And creepy-crawlies)

I'm sure there was a thread like this about a month ago, nevermind, I'm scared of the lil, round, green, plant things, that stick to clothes *shudders* if one gets stuck to me, I end up screaming, they are very scary. :( but I'll get over it :love: eventually.

Skegness

I'm also somewhat claustrophobic...didn't mention that. I'm fine, unless I can't move my arms. I can crawl through tunnels and such just fine, but if I'm put in a situation where my arms are against my body and I can't move 'em, I go nuts.

homophobia.... what a worthless fear

I used to be scared of earwigs...
When I was smaller I saw some cartoon and this earwig went into a guys ear when he was sleping and at the end of the episode he looked up and you could see the sun glint through his ears and I was scared of earwigs for years

i'm absolutely freaked about getting paper cuts. That may sound really wierd but they just freak me out.

Peace out and :rock:
EE

autophobia...the fear of oneself...(not really)
im afraid of getting old but not of dying

*sighs* But I wear shorts and sandals in the summer, I love wearing them. I hate sneakers, I rather go bare footed.

Haha, whoops. Wherever I go I offend somebody.
Another phobia of mine is kissing. I'm scared sh*tless of it.
When odd men come near me I back up...

I'm afraid of biscuits.

I used to be scared of ants, I haven't seen them for so long now than I don't know if I still am. I'm afraid of love, if that's strange.

The only thing I'm scared of is Wasps....And Mike Myers from the Halloween films :D. Me = Horror Freak. I LOVE horror movies, yet the Halloween series are the only film that make me scared when i turn the light off at night.. I mean.. One minute he's there.. and you're like legging it round the corner.. you look back and hes at the corner... WALKING!!!! I mean, how freaky is that.. I just imaging him either doing the same thing as Samara does in the Ring (The video tape fast forwarding thing) or when you're not looking he sprints like a maniac then walks when you look lmfao. But that would just be funny!!!

While I was in Spain, there were these massive ants, and I was like WHOA! OMSMFG! They were HUGE! And my little bro and dad kicked up their nests and they went crazy and but my little bro *Evil laugh* I thought we were all gonna get eaten alive. Also, I'm now scared of dying in pain, 'cos when we flew back from Spain today, it was really windy and everyone thought we were gonna crash. I'm not scared of the dying bit, just the pain leading up to it...:D Whoever said moths are scary is right. I swear my friend was bitten by a moth. We were at school and a moth swooped down from the ceiling and landed in my hair. I freaked out (I hate moths) and ran out the classroom crying :laugh: and then it landed on my friend's shoulder and she said it bit her. She had this big red lump on her collar-bone...*Shivers*

mwahahahha more weapon to use agianst you next time mwahahahaha
im have an irational phoia of woodlice

Arghhh my God! You creep! Stop sneaking up on me like that! Anyways, next time you come down, I'll fill your socks with wood-lice, so there! Hah! :D

i and social moon are old frends thats all
i have never been afraid of going too fast cuz if i did i would just leap of or out the viechle

I love going fast! I don't like rollercoasters though, 'cos they make me barf.

I find heights freaky...........yeah

I'm scared of falling. I can go as high as you like, but if I have to jump, I panic.

I'm afraid of speed and rollercoasters and Cactuars

I am scared of sharp edges.
Please don't laugh. They are really evil.
:(

I know what you mean. I have a friend who is terrified of paper-clips, in case she pokes her eye out with one.

I am now afraid of people who are afraid of paper-clips.

You must be afraid of the majority then, lol.

I am now afraid of people who are afraid of paper-clips and are convinced the world is too.

I'm not sure I have a phobia... Except like... reasonable insane things. Like I don't want to be set on fire (duh). I have vertigo (high places make me dizzy, but I'm not afraid of them). I can't swim so I have a natural hydrophobia, especially looking out on huge bodies of water. It's kinda overwhelming. But it's not something I can't control. I actually like playing in water.

Whats the word for things that make your skin crawl and your spine tingle... Like what people have with nails on the chalk board. I know that's not a phobia, but I have stuff like that. Not the chalkboard thing, but there are things that just make me sick and squirmy... But not in a phobic sense

Coleslaw scares me.

And Insects, and heights. That's pretty much it.

Republicanaphobia.

Well, go up to someone with a paper-clip, and offer to take their eye out with it. If they don't run away scared, start to move the paper-clip towards their eye, and then they will run away, unless they think they're hard and try to beat you up. It's a natural fear! :D

Phobic person here. Yes.
What Vyk said, I have certain things that aren't phobias, but I'd rather them not happen. :skull4: Like, as common example, when a man runs his finger over my wrists. GOD I hate that. I just want to slap him and say STOP. It sends shivers down my spine, just like when other people play with the veins in thier wrists. Or spit when I look at them. Or piss by the road. Or eat salad with THE WRONG FORK.
I am phobic of these people, wherever and whoever you are. KEEP BACK.

You could substitute the word 'paperclip' for anything else. What your phobia is, is infact an overwhelming fear of people suddenly getting the urge to gauge your eye out. This reminds me of the Stone Soup story..

I like to threaten to gauge people's eyes out with spoons. 'Tis great fun to watch their shocked reaction. Oh, and I'm really scared of performing in my Drama exam tomorrow.
