Any phobias?

Personally, I'm Terrified of the doctor.

What's yours?

 

spiders....hate them.  If I run into one during the day, I'll usually have some horrific nightmare that night....*shivers*...eeek.

rats.mice.. eeek!

I'm in the same boat with rdgatewood--absolutely and forever will hate spiders! Their legs are so creepy, I get grossed out by just thinking of them!

I also have this secret (well, not so secret now is it!!) phobia of seeing small feet from under the door. Every night I never forget to place pillows at the foot of my door so that I will never see any incase a pair might drop by. *blush* Probably comes from my childhood days when my older cousins forced me to watch Child's Play 1,2 & 3 over and over again. Sadistic... 

im scared of hieghts

homer simpson's whispering voice!

i'll admit it.  i'm 27 and still afraid of the dark, which is bad as i spend about 10 hours/week working in a darkroom.

1. Spiders are so SCARY!!!!!

2.  Social Phobias-speaking in front of a large audience & job interviews.  I have a knot in my stomach just thinking about doing either one of those things.

job interviews are nerve-wracking, but they definitely get easier each time you do one.

a few years ago, i spoke in front of 2000 people in Japan.  i was definitely nervous, until I realized that most of them only spoke Japanese, and I shouldn't be nervous, but my translator should be.  I felt better then!

I have a fear of developing a phobia....lol

...I actually don't think I have any bona-fied {sp} phobias, but I'm not too fond of clowns or no-face creatures....ew.

I don't care for spiders, but it is only the REALLY big ones that freak me out.  Im talking ones the size of the palm of your hand or larger.  EWWW. 

 I can't stand heights.  Even if I see someone on tv, standing near the edge of a cliff or something, my stomach will turn.  But that fear comes from falling off a wharf ladder when I was 16.  It was low tide, so I fell at least 15 ft if not further.  Wouldn't have been so bad if I had landed in the water, but I landed with my ribs across the side of a boat and only my legs in the water.  That wasn't pleasant, but at least I didn't break anything.  Since then, I avoid heights.

Wind gives me the creeps.  I just want to hide under my bed...and its a water bed.  lol

My biggest phobia...a fear that has absolutely no basis...is the snowplow on my husbands truck.  I am terrified to walk past that thing.  For some reason I am afraid of falling and smacking my face on that thing.  I have never hurt myself on it, never stumbled when walking by it and don't know of anyone who has gotten hurt on a plow...but the fear is there.  I have tried ignoring it and I CAN make myself walk past it, but I don't like it.

for someone who has a diagnosed anxiety disorder, job interviews do not necessarily get easier.  I've had almost a dozen job interviews in the last year and they were all terrifying.  The only thing that finally helped was taking anti-anxiety meds. 

Commitment.  (I was going to say that I was afraid of the calories in lip-gloss but I thought better of it.)

 yes, if you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, interviews won't get better over time.  A good friend of mine had severe anxiety disorder and the panic attacks that she had before her interviews were so severe that several times she actually had to cancel the interview.

for someone without diagnosed anxiety disorder, but is just nervous about the interviews, more interviews will make the process easier. 

I have a friend who is afraid of cotton.

I am afraid of spiders. Even little ones. Especially when driving.

i'm afraid of falling. i thought it was a fear of heights or a fear of flying, but really i'm afraid of the falling/crashing parts.  ultimately, though, i think it's all a fear of death.

besides that, i'm good.

I've developed a new fear of on-screen keyboards.  Just had to make that known now that I no longer have to use one.

At age 38....I, like aasil, fear the dark.  Like, at church (of all places) or work, if afterhours.  No so much in the house. Tho, if there is a power outage..........

But I always just know that someone or something is lurking in the shadows.....

I'm afraid of geese. But only the white, domesticated kind. Canadian geese don't scare me.

 

I had a traumatic experience as a child... guess it kind of stuck with me!
