I see, I am still afraid of it, especially if there are shadows.
edit- I always feel those shadows are staring at me, I just have this fear of someone staring at me. Or following me. |
i'm horribly scared of spiders and headwounds.
elevators freak me out. |
Spiders!
Most people are afraid of death and public speaking. I'm not afraid of the latter, but, I don't like stepping up among a group of people to speak/lead them. Not a leader, what can I say??????? |
i'm not afraid of death or public speaking, but i will make the wife come home from work to kill a spider.
no squashing either. it has to be a wet paper towel... one must grab the spider and squash within the paper towel. i don't want any loose legs anywhere. |

i'm actually the exact opposite... i'm pretty confident, bordering on bold with total strangers... a cab driver for example (if he/she's chatty) i might ask about his family or if he (i haven't been in ny in a while, but they're still mostly guys, right?) seems even vaguely interested, i might confide in him a relationship problem... the subconcious process i guess being that i'll most likely never see this person ever again, and probably not even any of the people they know. as i becomefriends with someone, and the closer i get, the more guarded i get with what i say around them... never to the point of being nervous... but just in the back of my head thinking ... they're going to remember what i say and call me on it for the next week if say something incredibly stupid or goofy. |

odd. i'm a bit like that, but i just am a master small talker. never personal, but i will strike up a convo with anyone anywhere. |

aaaw. they kill the other bugs for me and are always welcome in my home, the only rule being that they never try to get in my bed or my bathtub... at least not when i'm around. other than we're just cool like that. if a particularly large one seems to think this might be his place and starts hanging out on the kitchen counter, i'll take a drinking glass and drop it over them, then slide a postcard under and take the little guy to a nice place out of doors with lots of food. |

i have spy-dar. i can sense when there is a spider in the vicinity. a blessing and a curse (oh sigh... that album. damn stupid fuckers).

Not being able to breathe properly, like an asthma attack, lung cancer etc.
Talking with people I don't want to talk with. I'll happily talk with about 3 people that I'm good friends with, but other people don't understand that I don't want to talk with them: "Why don't you talk much?" "Why are you so quiet" etc. |

i never thought of it as odd... and at's not necessarily always personal. i have been told i have the gift of gab. but it mostly just boils down to the fact that i honestly don't give a rats ass whether a cabbie or random person at a bar i rarely if ever go to calls me an idiot or a faggot or a wacko... or if he goes home and tells his wife the wierdest dude ever got in his cab today. but if someone i've built any amount of mutual respect with/for ... if they outright laugh at something i say (not with me at something i say) ...yeah, it stings a little. |

I get you. totally. |
it's not that i care what they're saying about me. that's not the problem. i'm just shy to the point of fear. i've been this way since i can remember. i just don't take very well to unfamiliar people. i have like a mental block or something.

i grew up on a farm.... potato beetles and japanese beetles damage crops and should be picked off the plants and killed in ammonia. spiders and bees and ladybugs and such are on our side against the others and should be encouraged and treated respectfully. |
Quote:
whatEVAH. i hate spiders due to the fact that i'd wake up with fiddlebacks in my bed or floating up next to me in the bathtub. NO WAY NO HOW! you crazee. |
i freak out so bad if i see a centipede. those things scare the fucking shit out of me.
oh god, THOSE make me stomp my feet and flail. and i'm fucking terrified of praying manti. |
okay, now centipedes are creepy. but a big factor in my respect for spiders is that one time when i was no older than 3, my dad took me down in the basement and showed me a fly that had just landed in a spiders web. he explained to me that flies make food go bad and spiders eat them for lunch. we watched the fly trying to get away while the spider came in for the kill. then it wrapped it up in silk. my dad said that the spider doesn't want it's food to go bad and wraps it up to save it for later. it was like watching irl national geo.

I am scared of people i guess.

I have a fear of dirtyness and microbes, and I also love nature though. |
Quote:
That's social phobia (or social anxiety). I have it too, that's more a fear of other people's judgments and embarassing situations than simply a "fear of people". |

When I was little I could only sleep with the light on. EDIT: I misread the light part. |

Ditto. That's very annoying for me when I fancy a girl, I don't know what to say to her because I'm too afraid of being ridiculous. |

Polystyrene. I can't be in the same room as it. A good friend of mine is afraid of vacuum cleaners. My housemate is petrified of bees.
|
i used to be terrified of many things when i was a kid, i actually liked being scared of things, i had a friend who was afraid of things with me.
the most ridiculous one is probably dogs, i was terrified of dogs and i never had a bad experience with one (well, a friend in school got bitten by a dog in the face and has a permanent scar from it); now i think they are one of the funniest creatures in the world, hilarious, but i do sometimes get nervous/startled by them. nothing really irrational, but i get panic attacks with rats. my number one phobia used to be spiders but it has climbed down the charts for me in years, i even would not kill them if i saw them until one fucker bit me in my sleep, that was not cool. |
I'm ascared of 'nados. unsecured heights make me uneasy too. Everything else I can deal with. In fact, I just flushed one of the wife's phobias down the toilet.
|
I started to cry when a spider landed on my arm the other day.
It's just that I was in a car, and it obviously just flew in somehow. I can't stand knowing that a spider is near me, but I can't see it. Had he only announced his arrival, I would have been fine about it. For this reason, I'm more afraid of tiny spiders than tarantulas. Although we don't get many of those where I live, and I've never encountered one in the wilderness. Might be a different story in that case. |

Fuck! Yours and Cantankerous's conversation really struck a cord. It's so nice to hear that someone else is like this |
Quote:
Yeah! I'm the same, t's fucking annoying. It's also that I just don't think there is much to say to people unless you're having a really interesting conversation. |
I'm also scared of pigeons. I jump if one lands near me, it's embarassing. I have to pay loads of attention to where they're walking and other people are walking to avoid having them fly towards me.
|
I have a fear that I'll get stabbed or hurt by something in the back part of my knee. You know the part where your leg bones join.

I've always had alot of anxiety problems but not really any specific fears. I had a panic attack so bad my heart stopped beating and I had to be shocked with the defibrillator thing. Now, I carry around a bottle of lorazepam.

one time i was in the shower and about to wash my hair. i reach for the shampoo bottle and as soon as i lifted the cap open, a centipede crawled out of the bottle. i'vebeen afraid of that happeneing ever since |
I always fear that my heart is going to fuck up/that it is fucking up and I'm going to die. Irregular heart beats, heart attack, and cardiac arrest all really freak me out. I swear I'm going to die from some heart disease.
|
sometimes i think im scared of heights... most of the time i got no problem with it... i think im mostly afraid of disappointing people... i will go out of my way to be sure that i don't disappoint any random people
