I don't LIKE spiders, and they scare me ( especially the big meaty Dock Spiders that live near the lake/water) but I don't have an unreasonable fear of them.
I feel stage fright just prior to public speaking, but it quickly goes away as I 'get into' it. Worst of all is being in small, cramped spaces. I watched the Descent and could barely stand watching them crawl through those caves and passages. Yikes!

Mice and heights both make me freak out. I figure I was supposed to be 10 foot off the ground I wouldnt be only 5"4. And mice are sooooo nasty.

Definitely heights AND confined spaces.
Being in a huge building with many offices late in the evening after everyone is gone, like a ... horror movie waiting to happen.

I have a bathtub phobia! I shower with no problems but just cannot soak in a bathtub due to childhood trauma. I'm not real crazy about hot tubs either, unless I'm drunk.

tick-tock
Good grief, I posted in this thread four (yes 4) years ago! I also see a post from one of our dear ones who has left this world we currently inhabit.
Which brings me to a fairly new fear....running out of time. Watching my aging parents slip into ill health, my teen really start to mature into her own person, the city growing by leaps and bounds, meeting personal goals and making new ones. All these reminders of tick-tock. Fear of running out of time to do everything I wish to do, travel to all the places I want to see, all the museums, art, concerts, classes. Never enough time. I've never made a bucket list because there was always time...or not. I also need to add another new-ish fear. Fear of losing faith. Faith in the goodness of humanity. Faith in my own humanity. Fear of losing that connectedness now that groceries and entertainment and social interaction are just a click away and I don't have to "deal with people." Fear I'll stop wanting to be kind (takes effort after all) or will become more impatient because now if I can't "click" and get "to the door delivery" in under two hours then....deep exasperated sigh. I'm afraid all this "screen life" will screen me *from* life. No smiling at a little kid who looks afraid in a crowd, or clapping for the other team even though mine didn't win, or bending down on the MARTA to tie a heavily pregnant woman's shoelace, or just a quick smile or joke with a stranger. I'm afraid of becoming jaded and losing faith in, well, all of us. But especially myself. Katniss~~(also add afraid I am waaay overthinking these threads) |

Drowning is my only fear. My brother shoved my head under the water when we were little and I have not gotten over it. The month and a half I was in Hawaii helped get over it some by snorkeling.

It's not a real phobia but I feel uncomfortable when it's dark in the street and someone is walking behind me; had a bad experience in a similar situation years ago.

wasps: I freak out and leave. I will seriously panic. And if one lands on me I freeze and inwardly go berzerk.
Heights: I get vertigo and start panting a bit. I do eventually calm down if it's under a certain height. sidewalk grating: can't walk on them. terrifying. sometimes force myself for being an idiot and then freak out while I'm doing it. New! Social anxiety in lesbian spaces. Never happened in London. Happens here. Badly. I think all those times I got completely ignored and people barely spoke to me even when I spoke to them, when I went out after I got home, I took really to heart. So I panic now if I go to lesbian events. So I don't go anymore. |
