SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Do you have any phobias or anything that you are truly afraid of, unusual or not? Whnever I think about it, the large number of trees that we use to make various products scares me, as well as other natural resources that we use to make various things. I fear that one day those things will be gone, having not been able to keep up with our demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Insects, always hated them. And I'm occasionally afraid of the dark due to watching a scary movie when I was 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Awesome avatar Luka! Seeing them this November. Â Â Anyways, I'm claustorphobic. I'd hate to be in a situation where I'm trapped and I can't do anything about it. Â Â Â Frogs. Yes, you read that right. And no, I'm not trying to be funny. Â I can relate to that. Frogs creep me out sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Heights for one mildly freak me out, depending on the situation. Also, I go completely nuts if I'm stuck in an unfamiliar place on my own. Other than that, for the most part, I seek seclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm afraid of throwing up. Obviously no one is a fan of it, but it just freaks me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have a heights phobia to the point that I experience physical symptoms, I even get if I was watching TV and someone looks over a ledge. Â But still, I haven't let it stop me doing anything, I just push myself, climbing Half Dome at Yosemite was pure terror but I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Moths make my skin absolutely crawl - they're awful. I don't mind insects and bugs, and wouldn't flinch to have a spider walking up my arm .. But a moth flies into the room and I turn into a 60s-sitcom-housewife who's just seen a mouse! Â Cameron.

coasterdude5 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I used to have emetophobia (fear of barfing). It went away though. Now I don't have any true phobias, but I'm scared of spiders, snakes, and getting electrecuted. I hate needles, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalepi_Konei Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Here's a funny question for people with a fear of barfing. Have you ever feared it so much you barfed? Â ... Â Anyways, Â I am, Â Claustrophobic (and that makes me fear the dark sometimes cuz' in the dark you can't see the walls around you and it just creeps me out!) Â Heights (only to a certain extent.) Â Spiders (OMG I HATE THEM!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Anyways, Â I am, Â Claustrophobic (and that makes me fear the dark sometimes cuz' in the dark you can't see the walls around you and it just creeps me out!) Â Heights (only to a certain extent.) Â Spiders (OMG I HATE THEM!) Â I had it when I was in fifth grade. I was miserable the entire year. That's the worst part - the constant worrying about it makes you feel like you're about to barf... all the time. And then when people in your class started getting the stomach virus that made it 100x worse. Â The thing with me though, I never throw up. That's what made it really bad. I couldn't remember what it felt like. I've only thrown up a few times in my life. But I threw up after having a seizure that same year. That pretty much ended my emetophobia. Now I've only thrown up once since that, but the thought of throwing up doesn't bother me as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I can deal with pretty much anything, but man, even the smallest of spiders makes me scream and freak out... even thinking about spiders gets me all freaked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADCHEEZ Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 ^ Exactly the same as me! When a cockroach crawls across the floor, I'm fine. But if its a spider, I scream and run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 If someone in my family gets a stomach virus, I'll have a bit of the feeling I used to get, but it's not too bad. But man, fifth grade... the assistant principal (we lived across from the school and were friends with him) had to come and practically drag me to school - I was that afraid of it. Â I'm glad I can look back and laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgrrl Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Wow. I always thought I was really strange, but I feel a little better now knowing I am not the only one afraid of throwing up. I hyperventilate and shake uncontrollably if I think I am going to. I'd honestly rather feel awful than throw up and feel better. I also am scared to death of mayonnaise. I make the people at Subway use a new knife because I don't want my food to have any sort of mayo cross contamination. I can't even watch people eat something that I know has mayo on it.

ebl Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 "Mayonnaise...it's like Satan's poison." (CTU Agent) Â Amen to that. I will not touch the stuff. Â Funny thing---at one time, I was scared of getting diabetes, and look where I am today. Not the end of the world if you take care of yourself. Â But fears? I think losing a limb is my worst one.

downunder Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I fear normal people might find out I like coasters - just kidding I think. Â I recommend seeing Undercover Brother to truly understand the evil that is mayonnaise, poor Eddie Griffen being forced to drown his food in it while posing as a white guy therefore having to pretend to like it. Â I think mayonnaise is worse than the devil's poison, it's the devil's something else...think about the resemblance. Â It pisses me off that KFC absolutely drown their chicken fillet burgers (do you have them in the USA?) in gallons of mayo. Â In case you weren't sure I hate mayo and think it should be outlawed.

geekgrrl Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Â YES! I'm not the only one. Seriously, it's like Satan's poison. I can't possibly fathom how anyone can eat it. I used to and don't know how I did. If drugs are illegal, so should mayo. It's practically just fat which is harmful to the body. Â I agree completely. Mayonnaise is pure evil. I actually feel kind of bad for other foodstuffs that come into contact with it, because I know they will never have the chance to be as delicious as they could have before mayo application. I won't even eat some concoction called "Veganaise" that my husband buys. Even though it is just some sort of soy mess, it is still made in the image of mayo...and that is unacceptable.

AllenA07 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've got a fear of heights. I'm fine on coasters because I've got restraints keeping me from going anywhere, however when it comes to things like waterslides, I'll be watching from the side.
