Strange phobias.

[Vyk]

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.

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

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!

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.
