What's your weirdest phobia?...

[emeraldrafael]

Spiders.

They may not seem weird, but this is despite the fact that I'm not scared of much anything else. Only heights and spiders scared me.

Coulrophobia


I also have an irrational fear that someone will break into one of my windows in my bedroom and I won't hear them. But then I have to remember that the only window that could potentially happen they would have to climb onto my roof to drop into the atrium to get to and at that point you might as well open the door. But I would hear the walking on the roof due to it being aluminum.

Also, wearing clothes makes me claustrophobic. I only do it for public decency and not being labelled a sex offender for being naked in public.(damn you California)

And I get panic attacks in large crowds. Inside or outside.

You can walk around naked in Vermont. well mostly. i dunno id have to look up the law again.

i have Emetophobia. A fear of vomitting. no idea why.

That doesn't help me when I live in California

Wasps and bees freak the hell out of me. It's really strange, i don't know why, but every time one gets near i just... well, freak out. I'm not completely terrified, but i have the sudden urge to get the hell out of a room that has a bee or a wasp in it.

 

[SanguineScale]

Thunderstorms.

God. Dammit.

It's so freaking childish I can't stand it sometimes.

 

[CityofTreez]

IN terms of phobias, I have Agoraphobia - fear of being in a situation where there is no escape. For example, being stuck in a crowd, or even lots of noise around me. It stresses me the fuck out

I can agree with this.

Terrible...

 

[sweetylnumb]

Well im scared of balloons. When someone has one in the room i cover my ears and tell them to go away and if they dont i hide.
and im almost 18
really

The only thing that scares me, in terms of something not normally scary, is a bug getting in my ear.

I'm the exact same. I start to feel a bit wobbly, if that makes sense, when the acrophobia starts to kick in and I feel as though I'm about to fall off an edge. That being said, it tends to only kick in if there isn't much support in and around the platform I'm standing on. If... that makes sense, lol.

I have had mini-panic attacks from witnessing a spider. I don't know how many coffee jars I've got with spiders in them. Yeesh. I don't think either of us would be able to last in Australia; the size of 'em!

I suffer from Venephobia, the fear of veins. I cannot have anyone touch my wrists and I can't even look at my own wrists without my stomach crawling. Touching anyone else's wrists is also a no-no. I have no idea where this came from but I honestly dread even thinking about it. Not a fear of blood though.

Yeah, I know that feeling. I feel like my legs turn to jelly and light headed at great heights. I cant be near edges, so its just the seeing down.

Was there once on foreign exchange, and I never stopped wearing steel toed boots after I saw the first one cross the road was big enough to actually SEE crossing the road. I almost felt I had to stop and let it have the right of way instead of just run it down.

 

[Bubba Doongai]

I'm kind of scared of wide open spaces, especially open water. I don't know whether a lot of people get the open water one but it really gets me. Also, it's not really a fear, but I have an aversion to most jewelry (I won't touch it) and copper coins.

 

[FamoFunk]

Hate rocks in water.
Rock, I'm fine with. Water, I'm fine with. Rocks and Water? Go fuck yourself!

...Sweet. JEEBUS. I would want to turn my car right around to go straight back to the airport! Instantly reminds me of this actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyA8HzKmfVw from 2:36 and then the way it runs across the carpet, lmao! Not sure what language it's in, mind you. I'm guessing it's one of the Nordic ones anyroad, haha.

I actually hate that as well. The open water thing. Fish also tend to freak me out - sizeable ones, mind you - so the sea part of the museum always freaks me out and I refuse to go through the tunnel. Too dark. Too many creepy fish (and a giant octopus), too small of a space. In fact, as ridiciulous as it may sound, I had a wee bit of difficulty playing the first underwater part of "Tomb Raider: Underworld" because of it. In saying that, the octopus itself didn't freak me out.

Dentists. Specifically, the work they do in your mouth. The noise of the drill!!!! The pain!!! The nervousness making you want to swallow, but you're told not to!!! Its all terrible.

I'm like that too! I'm fine with heights (in fact I love riding on roller coasters and traveling by air plane) as long as I feel secure; if I get even the slightest feeling that I might fall, however, I start to panic a little... even if this happens on something that'd be a small fall, like a short flight of stairs. (Not that falling down ANY stairs is pleasant, mind you. Never run down stairs kids, even if you think the dryer in the basement has been on too long!)

I'm also not very fond of sudden loud noises or having something jump out at me. I'm a very jumpy person. :|

Yeah! I'm perfectly fine with planes (well, I assume I still am considering how long ago I've been on a plane) as well. In fact, the only thing that I was actually concerned with was my ears popping!

Haha, I adore roller coasters! As long as somebody else is crazy enough to go with me of course! Hell, even those crazy rides that go upside down and side-to-side are fun to me (as long as somebody comes with me)! Ugh, I'd run up the stairs for quickness because it's not so bad to fall up the stairs (LOL) but never down the stairs! Mind you, in Victoria Square in Belfast, you can go riiiight at the top but I am terrified of going up the spiral staircase. I will cling on to dear life, trailing myself up them while kids come racing down past me. Dangerous much!? Crikey!

I think I'm just a wee pensioner at heart in those regards, haha. I hate loud noises too, especially when I wasn't expecting them! I'm terribly jumpy. Jeebus, I've always yelped at the bears who appear out of nowhere in Tomb Raider I'm that bad, lmao!

I used to have a terrible fear of not knowing what was in the water. I'd actually avoid swimming in GAMES. I avoid it in Minecraft and in the Zelda games.

Edit: Captcha you're Unnorm

 

[Davih]

Doll's hair. The feel of it just creeps me out its not right. Especially when its near my face I always think I'm going to choke on it, even if it isn't near my mouth.

Also of putting my hands in small spaces. When i was young I got my hand stuck and I ripped some of the skin of to get my hand out, so now I'm dead paranoid about it.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

It's not as much of a phobia now, but I am extremely uncomfortable with mirrors in dark rooms. Just something about the shadowy figures moving inside the mirror out of the corner of my eye...
