#4 pigknight Mar 22, 2009 16:22:21	Also I'm scared of hot girls in cosplay costumes. Not actually scared of them, but what happens to "Lil' Piggy." ;)
#5 crossroads_wanderer Mar 22, 2009 16:27:53	I don't think that it is a sensical phobia, and I have no idea how I came to have it, but I have claustrophobia and other fears that feed into the same concept but aren't quite the same. I freak out when I am in a space that I think I can't get out of, including tight clothing. I also freak out when the air is too thick. I think both of these feed into a phobia about not being able to breathe.

I don't know if it counts as a phobia or not, but I do get extremely uncomfortable when completely surrounded by people.

The funny thing is that I don't easily get freaked out by being surrounded by people. Although if someone is leaning over my shoulder it tends to bother me. But I do just fine in the mosh pit at Warped Tour.

#19 doneisi Mar 22, 2009 17:14:39	I'm afraid of losing my hair. It is a weird fear because I don't care about my hair at all; to the point where I cut it myself because barbers are too expensive. Yet, not a day goes by that I don't think about going bald.
#20 dirtyfrank Mar 22, 2009 17:14:42	I hope you realize that the implications of that make what you said even worse. I just had to use "fallow." It started in Astrid's a long time ago when I said I'd fallow Minja but meant "follow." There was a whole joke thing that started up after that.

I do make a lot of typos because Firefox doesn't have a grammar check. The funny thing is that the typos usually allow for puns and innuendos that I just roll with. Half the time my typos seem to turn into running jokes.
#23 pigknight Mar 22, 2009 17:20:52	We don't like talking about Shade/Puppet.
#24 baneofelves Mar 22, 2009 23:28:35	God, did you have to mention that again, you pervert? sheesh. Kids these days. I am TERRIFIED of spiders, thanks to pranks that my dear brother played on me when I was 4-6 yrs old. So, my fear also extends to driders, drow, and Lolth.
#25 LordMorbien Mar 22, 2009 23:38:31	I am TERRIFIED of spiders, thanks to pranks that my dear brother played on me when I was 4-6 yrs old. There's nothing silly about a fear of spiders - - I hate those little buggers! I also have an intense fear of falling - - I can handle heights if I'm in a plane or standing somewhere sturdy, but the thought of climbing a ladder paralyzes me - -
#26 baneofelves Mar 22, 2009 23:40:24	I also happen to hate them and kill them. My brother traumatized me with them when I was young, but I have been getting over it. They don't really scare me anymore. Well, the poisonous ones do.
#27 dirtyfrank Mar 22, 2009 23:42:32	I've had a black widow on my foot once. It took me a few seconds to react because it took me a while to decide if I should be concerned or something. I eventually flicked my foot and it went flying a few feet.
#28 crossroads_wanderer Mar 22, 2009 23:52:33	My dad has a very justified fear of spiders as he has been bitten by both a black widow and a wolf spider. No, not at the same time.
#29 dirtyfrank Mar 22, 2009 23:55:44	My dad has a very justified fear of spiders as he has been bitten by both a black widow and a wolf spider. No, not at the same time. A werewolf spider by chance?
#30 crossroads_wanderer Mar 22, 2009 23:57:30	A werewolf spider by chance? No, just a nasty wolf spider. I don't think that they are lethal, but their bites hurt really badly.
#31 bardiques Mar 22, 2009 23:59:15	Well, I'm terrified of spiders, though there's a long, youthful story behind that one. I'm also terrified of heights, I don't do well on them. I went up the CN Tower once to prove to everyone I could, cried, came down and vowed never to do it again. I also fear driving. Not, like if someone else is driving, but myself driving. I don't trust myself, or want the responsibility that comes with it. I seize up every time someone tries to force me into the drivers side. I don't even have a license or ever taken a test. I just can't do it. Those are the Big Three anyway.
#32 dirtyfrank Mar 22, 2009 23:59:27	@ C_W: It would of been cool if he transformed into a wolf spider every full moon.
#33 crossroads_wanderer Mar 23, 2009 0:00:43	I've had nightmare about myself and my younger brothers driving. People drive like maniacs where I live, so I'm afraid that I'll be hit by some crazy a-hole driver when I start driving.
#34 dirtyfrank Mar 23, 2009 0:03:17	I don't like driving because a lot of people are sucky drivers where I live and I also don't feel like dealing with people (other drivers) enough to want to drive.
#35 crossroads_wanderer Mar 23, 2009 0:03:28	@ C_W: It would of been cool if he transformed into a wolf spider every full moon. Sort of, unless he transforms into a normal-sized wolf spider. Then someone could just step on him. If he transformed into a big wolf spider, he'd be better off. I saw a freakin' huge wolf spider one time when I was doing water testing in high school. My whole class was at a stream learning how to catch macroinvertebrates. One of the groups caught a wolf spider that was about 6 inches across. That thing was freaky. They started calling it the spirit of the river. :D
#36 arderkrag Mar 23, 2009 0:31:23	anyone here afraid of really silly things, that logically, shouldnt scare you? I know I am. Vaccum Cleaners. they frighten me. they scare me. I HATE THEM! Being up high and looking up. Looking down doesn't bother me, but if I look shoulder-height or higher, I get weak in the knees. Note that I've been rock climbing, hiked mountains, climbed trees, etc. and this doesn't bother me. The stability of the structure has a lot to do with it. Example: The St. Simon's Lighthouse doesn't bother me. The Tybee one freaks me out due to the sheet metal scaffolding.
#37 ellorin Mar 23, 2009 3:57:10	Crabs. Spiders, too, but at least that isn't uncommon...but crabs? No problem with lobsters though. Go figure... Oh, and my best friend is afraid of clowns.
#38 dirtyfrank Mar 23, 2009 8:59:32	Aren't all phobias, by definition, silly?
#39 zombie_babies Mar 23, 2009 9:27:40	I'm terribly phobic of posting things on internet forums. Scares the bejeebus out of me. And it hurts, too.
#40 cherubaddon Mar 23, 2009 9:30:08	I actually have something which, while not being a phobia, is pretty strange: the thought of an animal's death makes me sick. This weird because I tend towards pragmatism, eat meat all the time, and care little for dead people. I've never done it, of course, and hope I never will, but the thought of killing a person seems quite natural to me under certain circumstances. But killing an animal is something just thinking about makes me physically unwell.
#41 crossroads_wanderer Mar 23, 2009 10:04:04	It makes me sick to my stomach when people mistreat animals, so I can understand what you mean. To me, it's the thought that the animal is helpless and reliant on a person, but the person mistreats it anyway.

But killing an animal is something just thinking about makes me physically unwell. I'm so glad to hear this. Most people where I am don't understand. I could do away with someone without a look back, but I can't stand seeing an animal hurt, let alone dealing with the death of one. There was a wolf spider in my house once. I was going to let it go, but my sister saw it and freaked so my mom told me to step on it. I didn't have a choice. I tried to catch it in my hand, but it was too quick and my stupid sister was screaming and crying and so I stepped on it. I felt it's little carapace crunch under my boot, and I felt so bad I vomited. I'm getting sick just thinking about it. It was years ago, but I can still feel the crushing of it's body, and hear it in my head. Thankfully, I have never been asked to kill a spider, or anything else, again. There's no sense in being scared of animals. Learn about them and garner understanding and respect for those that can harm you. Once understanding is achieved, fear is unnecessary. As far as vacuum cleaners though, I got nothin'.
#43 pigknight Mar 24, 2009 0:21:59	At least when they kill animals for food it's either insta-kill or painless.

#45 bob_loblaw Mar 24, 2009 14:25:58	Aren't all phobias, by definition, silly? They are irrational, not silly. This is from MedicineNet.com: An unreasonable sort of fear that can cause avoidance and panic. Phobias are a relatively common type of anxiety disorder. They are far from silly.
#46 stealthmarmot Mar 24, 2009 16:36:02	I have always been afraid of baseballs and tennis balls and such when thrown at me. My best guess is in my former life I was decapitated by a cannonball.
#47 baneofelves Mar 24, 2009 16:38:00	I also fear soccer balls, but my fear for that is justified. I was playing soccer, and tried to block the ball with my foot. It came at an angle, and came in higher than I expected, and I ended up blocking it with something else. Yeah, that hurt.

I'm afraid of being in a cave, standing over a "bottomless pit" in the dark. Didn't even know I had a real phobia till I was in a cave, standing on a decrypt metal grate, standing over a water filled unknown depth pit, and then they cut the lights off to give people an idea of just how pitch black an unlit cave is. I had this striking visual of the grate falling out from under me. Yeah. That spooked me real good. By the way you've not seen pitch black till you have been in an unlit cavern system. There is no light. Period. Your eyes can adjust all they want they will not see a damned thing. You can't even see your hand if it were poking your eye.
#53 rayneshadowleaf_dup Mar 25, 2009 8:05:38	I hate bugs...period.

#60 cherubaddon Mar 25, 2009 10:13:06	I can only see two pictures of grasshoppers, and a lot of people are scared of one specific insect (spiders for instance :P), so I guessed grasshopper. [smartass] Spiders aren't insects. :P [/smartass] But spiders are a lot more common. I mean, how often in my life have I seen a grasshopper from up-close enough to tell?
#61 zombie_babies Mar 25, 2009 10:14:52	I can see why a plant would be grasshopper/locust phobic, but an undead frog (or is it toad? can't remember ...)? That makes no sense. And being afeared of your food is just a bad idea.
#62 cherubaddon Mar 25, 2009 10:18:42	I think it might be pangs of guilt. Having once been toasted himself, T_A now knows how much futile suffering eating animals can cause. And every grasshopper he ever ate - toasted or not - now comes back to haunt him à la Sixth Sense.
#63 zombie_babies Mar 25, 2009 10:20:00	I dunno. I imagine hoppers would be quite tasty. And it's been proven that no matter how guilty one feels for consuming another living being, if the bugger's tasty enough, all is forgotten. Mmm. Veal .....

#70 Touchfuzzy Mar 26, 2009 5:55:33	trypophobia, fear of small hole/clusters, stuff makes me feel really uncomfortable and nauseous Oh god the lotus pod pictures... they freak me out... I entirely know what you are talking about. As for other things... its so pathetic seeming... I'm a fairly good sized guy, broadshouldered, lift the heavy objects for the weaker people type person... I'm frightened of bugs. they just... freak me out. [completely unrelated: I have the tv running, did the slap chop commercial guy seriously say "You'll love my nuts"] Anyway, as I was saying... bugs. I'm a contractor, do all kinds of house work, from flooring to electrical to roofing to plumbing, etc. etc. etc... I hate going under houses with bugs... and SPIDERS... My own house has a bazillion grasshoppers under it... I had to get my wife to run a ethernet cord for me... cause I just couldn't manage it. Also... vacuum cleaners are freakish... I can use one... but I hate it, and if someone else is using it, I have to be in another room.
#71 toastedamphibian Mar 26, 2009 12:36:41	Hey, more disgusting facts about Eastern Lubber Grasshoppers: They are 3 to 4 inches long Their legs are sharp and hard They spit stomache acid when angry They are toxic enough to kill birds and make mid-sized mamals vomit for hours They can emit a high pitched scream from their abdomine while realsing a mist of toxic foam
#72 zombie_babies Mar 26, 2009 12:53:20	Sounds like they know how to party.

#78 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 0:23:07	I have an odd fear associated with time. Or rather the lack or stoppage of time as it were. I don't recall the technical name for it, and it doesn't come up all that often anyway. Short Story: If I were to say, see a watch that was no longer counting minutes, I have to run to the nearest functioning clock and make sure it's working. My old buddies used to play the meanest pranks on me growing up, pretending that their clocks and watches didn't work and that they were frozen "in time". It's not so bad these days, but I wear a watch all the time, even to bed. I only take it off when I shower. Truly, a silly phobia.
#79 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 0:27:01	Do you ever run out of the shower to check the time? :P
#80 KillerGM Mar 27, 2009 0:27:40	I would imagine he has a waterproof watch. But that is a very disturbing phobia!
#81 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 0:32:31	Oh these days I don't mind. I can shower for the entire length without needing to know what time it is. When I was a kid it was really bad. It's just one of those stupid things you don't know the why or reason to. Previous psychologists have speculated that my fear of time "stopping" may be more linked to a fear of a nothingness, or void. Possibly death as well. Being able to "see time" confirms that one is still moving, living, acting in the world. "When time ceases, I cease to exsist since I can no longer judge the passing of my mind." I believe is what one doctor said years ago. So maybe I'm more afraid of death then time? I've been in several near-death experiences, and those didn't really bother me much. These days I'm pretty cool, I might check the watch once every five-ten minutes or so.
#82 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 0:34:47	Of course this all depends on whether or not you believe time actually exists. Do you have a clock in your bathroom or have you ever had one in there? You know, so you could check it while showering or what not.
#83 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 0:35:43	I did when I was kid, it was that bad. I know, I know. "Freak".

#85 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 0:38:02	I only stare at clocks when I'm bored.
#86 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 0:40:04	Well, at least I have some Freaks to join me in my clock-staring. I feel so unfreakish with me freaks with me.
#87 Reg06 Mar 27, 2009 0:51:31	On another forum a member started a "trypophobia test" thread with a photo. Unwittingly I opened it. I really didn't think it'd be that bad, but I can't even go to onto that board any more. I'm actually starting to itch, alot, just thinking about it. Worst part is? It wasn't even a real photo. It was a photo shop (a very well done shop job, but a fake none the less). I think it has something to do with things in peoples' skin.
#88 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 0:53:55	Uuuuuh, okay!
#89 crossroads_wanderer Mar 27, 2009 7:41:14	I don't get freaked out if I don't know what time it is, but I have a tendency to look at the time every twenty minutes or so, sometimes less. It's fairly a new compulsion, though, as I didn't start needing to know the time at random moments until I got a watch in high school.

I have to check clocks for no reason. +1 More obsession or compulsion than phobia, but I'm constantly looking at clocks. Don't wanna be late. I also tend to look at my speedometer a lot. Can't help it. But I'm kind of a mess in a lot of ways. ;)

But I'm kind of a mess in a lot of ways. ;) Don't even get me started on compulsions... I have very very specific ways of doing almost everything... I can even tell you the exact motions I use while brushing my teeth...(and they are always exactly the same)

I can even tell you the exact motions I use while brushing my teeth...(and they are always exactly the same) I'm not that bad, but I've got some nutty things I simply must do. And I can't understand why people don't do things the way I do. Cuz my ways are better. (Yeah, not true - but you tell that to my brain. ;)) Luckily none of my craziness really impacts my life. My SAD (Social, not seasonal - and self-diagnosed) occasionally bugs me, but generally I can cope.

#96 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 10:00:49	*Z_B looks at the time on his pimp new celly* "Damn it Walter, I thought you said it was almost 4?"
#97 zombie_babies Mar 27, 2009 10:10:39	Oh, I'd never question Walter. He'd make a big fuss about it needing to be official if I was officially contesting his official count of the time (which I would need to do since this official only hears official complaints about official matters) and that means paperwork. And lots of it. I just don't like doing all that paperwork so I pretty much leave ol' Walt (don't tell him I called him Walt!) alone.
