Irrational phobias

[mike without a hat]

I'm afraid of most sea animals, and the seaweed and plant stuff at the bottom of lakes.

I've always been afraid of heights and bridges.

Recently, I have been able to handle heights and I started walking over a bridge to get to school every day a few weeks ago, so I'm doing much better now.

The very thought of eternity scares me. When I was a little girl I'd lay in bed trying to sleep and think of what forever really meant and it'd freak me out so much I'd just cry and cry until I fell asleep from exhaustion.

Now I'm old enough to make myself think of something else. I also have a... healthy respect for the ocean, but the thought of being on a big boat in the ocean makes me nervous. And I'm never nervous.

Palachniuk wrote a story about a swimming pool.

really shouldnt talk about it here, i'd get banned or something


SPOILER

anyway if you value your small intestine, stay away

Yah, that's not an irrational fear at all!

[krissy]

yeah my real irrational fear is like

some giant demon breaking through the wall during class
im talking immense techno-bull-demon that's like 12 feet tall here.
blocks flyin, prof gets knocked across the room, and the only weapon i have is a pencil (and even mcguyver cant make the BFG 9000 out of a pencil and some erasers, HOWEVER, if i hadn't lost my graphic calculator maybe something coul dhave been done)

Birds freak the hell out of me. They have for as long as I can remember. I'll seriously walk different routes to class just to avoid the areas on campus where there's a heavy concentration of birds.

*shudders*

Nasty creatures they are...and they can smell fear.

[Jojee]

I fear everything, almost

I fear heights a lot, spiders are like... AGHASKHDF. Any kind of bugs... I didn't use to be like this, I used to catch all sorts of bugs when I was little ^^ Now it's like ewww scary runrunrun. *dies* Um also I'm afraid of ghosts and monsters and scary movies, especially in the dark ^^ I'm afraid of stalkers and rapists and random murderer people entering my house. =| I live my life in fear.

I'd say something pretty irrational I fear intensely is... my boy dying. I mean, what are the chances of that, right now? But I'm afraid of it all the time, I love him so much ^_^ I'm always worried about him. Hehee.

I am slowly, actively trying to overcome my serious phobia of using the bathroom at places beside my house. It used to be so bad that I would go a full weekend with my stomach killing me from holding in defication because I just couldn't bring myself to go at a friend's house/hotel room, etc.

Also bugs, I've got a horrible bug phobia.

[Chaos]

YAY! I'm not alone in my phobia of swimming pool filters!

I'm scared of scary things in films too. I seriously find it hard to watch anything remotley scary.

I think there is something else I'm scared off too....I think its men who have a certian 'look' about them, although I don't know what that 'look' is nor what it entails. I just know I'm scared of them.

I'm kinda claustrophobic (is that how you spell it??). I remember when I was about 12 or 13, I was on my school camp and one of the activities we were doing was..... caving!!! And if that doesn't sound freaky - it was an underground cave ... So I was freaking out the whole time during the bus trip to the caves and taking deep breaths, asking my friends for re-assurance etc, etc. When we actually got to the cave itself, I was like.... OMG! WTF! Nobody told me it was underground ! But eventually I plucked up the courage to go in and it was pitch black (we had one of those light helmet things) and the glow-worms were like 1 inch away from my head :x_x:, the cave was really really small, narrow and tight with like 30 people surrounding me (talk about claustrophobia kicking in) and the water in there literally went right up to my waist.... But the good news? I got through it in one piece and not to mention a 'leg-full' of bruises.

I spend too much time acknowledging it already. NO!

[boris no no]

i'm really really scared of needles. i had a TB jab when i was at school and i freaked out so much i collapsed. it was horrible. and i had to have an operation and the needle they leave in your hand???that messed me up a bit. god...the thourght of something going under the skin argh!!! *shudders*
i have to look away when needles are shown on tv
plus i freak out when i'm in small spaces with loads of people about. worst is lifts. with ev eryone pushing against you and no space to breath. i have to hold my breath in them. if its high up i have to stop get out to take a breath and go back in....my friends think i'm weird...

[Resha]

Bugs, but above all...cockroaches. They are the root of all evil and even atom bombs couldn't destroy the damn things. There's no escape for me! They're everywhere! I can't walk! I can't breathe! I can't sleep!!!!

*Hyperventilates*

Other than that, I'd say blood. Well, not my own blood...just other blood.
