"Phobia"

I got a phobia of spider and heights.

What's your phobia


Phobia Top Ten:
1.Arachnophobia
Fear of Spiders. Half of women and 10 per cent of men have, to some degree, a fear of spiders.

2. Social Phobia
Fear of being evaluated negatively in social situations.
Approximately 5.3 million American adults ages 18 to 54, or about 3.7 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have social phobia. Social phobia typically begins in childhood or adolescence.

3. Aerophobia
Fear of flying.

4. Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia involves intense fear and avoidance of any place or situation where escape might be difficult or help unavailable in the event of developing sudden panic-like symptoms. Approximately 3.2 million American adults ages 18 to 54, or about 2.2 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have agoraphobia.


5.Claustrophobia
Fear of being trapped in small confined spaces.


6. Acrophobia
Fear of heights.

7.Emetophobia
Fear of vomit.


8. Carcinophobia
Fear of cancer.

9. Brontophobia
Fear of thunderstorms.


10.Necrophobia
Fear of death or of dead things

Life ending doesn't scare me, because it's inevitable.

I'm not scared of heights.
I'm scared of falling from heights.

I'm nbot scared of death.
I'm scared of life ending.

Flying, edges, needles, small spaces, sharks(?!)

Bit of a pusssy really aren't I?

Everyone has a phobia - When I was 8 I use to catch spiders its a culture thing where I was born. I use to catch them and feed them In return they fought for me. I would have my strongest and biggest spider fight the other members spider for money. I had at least 36 Spider fights, I won
14 of those. Many spiders die by my hands.
When I came here I saw the film (Arachnophobia) that well change my life forever. It made me think, 'what if those spiders will hunt me down'
After that I killed every spider I seen......................

I used to have that, i had to get used to it, but i still cant watch them put it in, although i'm quite able to take out lines that have been put in my hands.

I fear treading in dogsh_t. Whenever I walk across grass my eyes are searching for it obsessively. In fact, I consciously avoid most public grassy areas where people walk dogs. And if disaster strikes *squelch* it takes two hours at least for me to recover.

Oh yeah, needles. I'm OK having stuff pumped in me when I'm not looking, but the thought of them the rest of the time, especially, say, drawing blood, freaks me out. Right now, just thinking about it, is freaking me out.
