I have a phobia about SPECIFIC bugs...generally speaking, anything with more than 8 legs..and I'm none too partial to those wood louse bugs... but centipedes are prolly the only thing that will send me running and squealing like a girl....
I've come to realize I am NOT afraid of heights like I thought. I'm scared of falling. Big difference. If I feel secure, heights don't bother me at all...this is great since I have always wanted to learn to rock climb :) |
I'm the same way

I am very afraid of spiders. I think they scare me the most when they are somewhere above me, like on the ceiling in my bedroom.

In addition to my first post I will that I now cannot stand crowds, like when you go grocery shopping.....I have to take ativan just to go into a crowded store. My ptsd and anxiety are much worse than it's been in last few years, and they upped my ativan to 3xday now, just to help curtail my anxiety. UGH... I also have a fear of falling.....I often have dreams of falling from great heights like a skyscraper and falling in mid air just wakes me up before I hit the ground and I'm balling like a big ass scared kid. I wonder what would happen if I hit the bottom and didn't wake up? I often think I would die in my sleep if I actually saw myself hit the bottom. IS that even possible?
I don 't know, but I dunt wanna find out. I am also afraid of pitbulls that have been fought before. I just don't trust them at all. But on the other hand, if it's a pitbull someone raised from a pup and wasnt' abusive to them, I'm not afraid of them then. Make sense? I dunnno, just is what it is. OH and going into the ocean and learning to surf, I"m deathly afraid of sharks attacking. It's on reason I never learned how to surf, I don't want any missing body parts.........just sayin. |

Phobia: Cats - I've gotten better about it as I've gotten older [it used to be full on frozen fear and anxiety ridden] but I still cringe for the most part when one comes near me.
Fears: I'm afraid of the dark. I always have been and I probably always will be. And any kind of rodent. Including ferrets. I'm dying just thinking about them! |
I'm not particuarly fond of heights and especially not fond of the fall.
|
I normal don't talk about my fears but I have one its spiders and when I see one I usually don't say anything I just kill it.

I am also deathly afraid of heights.... will start tearing up at the thought of being near the edge of something tall.
I also have a fear of bridges.... I dream of driving off bridges and have this fear that something with force me off a bridge or there will be a hole in the road and my car will fall through. |
Spiders (though my reactions to spiders have great entertainment value, I'm told)
Those creepy flat slow-moving bugs- shield bugs, I think they're called. I call them stink bugs, even though they don't all stink. Sunflowers. |
i have quite a few fears, but the ones that will absolutely petrify me:
Spiders. I dont mean, i just scream and say "kill it". My heart races, i sweat, I can almost not breathe and yes- I may cry and hyper ventilate based on how close and big it is. I will kill the small ones and I'm fine. but ones that are the size of a penny or larger, and they hop? I will start crying and hurt myself to try and get away from it.-- oddly, i LOVE snakes. Not being able to save myself. Alot of people think I have a fear of planes/flying. Its not that, essentially. Its the fact that when I'm in an aluminum can, 50 million feet in the air, if anything goes wrong I am absolutely helpless to save myself. All I can do is sit there and wait to die. I can't flap my wings etc. However, I am fine with getting in a helicopter. You can jump out of them, if need be. I avoid any situation where I think I cannot save myself. Living a life without cause. (self explanatory) |
I could say that I have a fear of heights, but that's not exactly true. The fear that I have is falling from them.
Or more exact...the fear of landing after falling from them. :seeingstars: |
Maggots. Yeah, no. I don't that it is truly a fear as much as it is soul crushing revulsion. Were I ever faced with a medical situation that could best be treated with maggot therapy I would have to be rendered unconscious and never told about it. Ever. Knowledge would lead to immediate institutionalization.

I heard a DJ on the radio talking about phobias while on the drive home today and a top 5 list that someone compiled. Number one: heights. Number two: dentist. Number five: spiders.
Numbers three and four got lost in me fussing at the other drivers. :blink: |
Gotta say my fear of bridges has abated a bit since I now cross several dozen (including the thrilling 7 mile bridge) every few weeks. The first few crossings of said uber long bridge sent me into full blown black out, hyperventilating spasms, which were a boat load of fun with my kid in the back seat.
Good good times. |

Caterpillars. I am not afraid of bugs in general at ALL, just caterpillars. I had a very traumatizing childhood incident when I was about three.
My Dad decided it would be a good idea to burn down all the tent caterpillars out of the tree in the front yard. (He's not too bright sometimes.) Result being--a literal carpet of both burned and alive caterpillars all over the front lawn. My three yeard old oblivious self ran outside to play the next day. With bare feet. Standing in inches of squishy caterpillars and alive ones that were crawling up my legs. I was fucking paralyzed and SCREAMING my head off. I will NEVER forget it. If I so much as SEE a caterpillar. OMG. It's not pretty. |
