So, is there something you are absolutely terrified of that is ridiculous???

I get nautious at the site of loose hair...... like a single strand on a glass, or on my keyboard (I shave my head, so I know it's not mine)...

I have a strange phobia of aliens. Every time I see an image of one of those big black slanty eyed guys, I freeze- I get chills and can-not-move. it's like I have a repressed memory of being abducted or something.

Instant tomato soup powder. Such a disgusting smell.

I have a weird phobia of small breezes in the house when noone is about. Where does the breeze come from?! I always have a feeling someone/something is watching me.

Flying insects. I cannot and will not sleep in the same room as a fly.

anatidaephobia-the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (coined by Gary Larson, The Far Side)

I'm afraid of conservatives.

Bees. I have an irrational fear of bees, wasps an hornets. That's about it.

Luposlipaphobia: The fear of being chased around the kitchen table by timber wolves while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.

Claustrophobia. Just thinking about cramped spaces can elicit sweats, and during lectures or when I go to the theatre or cinema I have to sit next to the aisle. Even three, four seats into a row, and I can start panicking. I tried sitting in the middle once, and I had a huge anxiety attack, so, umm, people let me sit next to the aisle nowadays. :\

Arachnophobia. As much as I love spiders from afar, I cannot tolerate being near one. Even less so having the alien beings crawling on me.

Im afraid of that too!

i am absolutely pant-wettingly terrified of spiders. i don't mind small ones but anything bigger than a few mm across gets me scared with the fear rising exponentially with size. there was one the size of a 50 pence on my bedroom wall the other day. it stayed just out of reach as it crawled around in the direction of my bed. in the end i remembered i had some insecticide spray so i sprayed it and then it sort of rappelled down from the ceiling on it's web - pretty amazing to watch really but i wasn't impressed enough to let it survive so i squashed it with a shoe. i'd be very emarrassed if anyone could see and hear me when i have to deal with spiders on my own - i flap my arms a lot and make funny throaty squeaky noises as i try to breath.

i'm also pretty freaked out by the idea of parastic worms, particularly those ones that leave your body at night to go exploring or whatever. eeuuuuaaarrrgghh they're so nasty.

I am even scared of the little ones. :/ I've handled vipers and anacondas (admittedly, beneath the lethal 15 ft ones), but I'm paralysed in fear by spiders.

Eww, that is gross.

I'm terrified of snakes. And as weird as it sounds, I ahte being home alone after like 8pm. I eiether have to be with ppl or on the phone coz I freak out. Every little noise scares me...

No Coulrophobes yet? :)

I am genuinely afraid of windmills! Being near them or even seeing them causes me to feel extremely uncomfortable!!!
I don't even like pictures of them!!!

Don't like moths. Have an over-active imagination.. so i have trouble sleeping in the dark after watching scary movies. Heights get me too.

have to say the blair witch project was one of the few horror films i've seen that didn't scare me in the least. and i won't go see the ring. i'm even scared when one of my flatmates put her hair over her face and does and impression of the girlmonsterthing samarra. it's so freaky cuz she's so sweet looking normally and then she just transforms herself by putting on a scary voices and rearranging her hair. i saw the grudge though, the japanese version, and that scared me for ages, still have to keep my feet tucked into my duvet at night sometimes in case they get grabbed.

I get freaked out when theres a cold chill on my neck and theres no one in the room with me or no window open... its pretty damn freaky...

No, that was another one. It's a rather old film. I think you're thinking of Eight-legged Freaks. Arachnophobia played on psychological elements...hence it was all the more frightening.

the only bit i've seen of that film and the only bit i'm ever likely to see is the bit where the woman is in the shower and the spider crawls onto her hand from the shower head. couldn't close my eyes in the shower for ages after seeing that - numerous soap-in-eye trauma incidents followed.

Exactly. That is the effect the film had on me. I am petrified of spiders, and it only made matters worse.

No, your name is effeminated, and I have a horrible tendency to judge by name. This is horrible when it comes to this place, since people's names are country names, which are generally effeminated. See, with Europa, I didn't know he was a guy until he explicitly stated that he was one, but with your posts, I guessed you were a guy from the contents.

Funny how cheesy films can sometimes scar you like that, whereas truly scary movies don't. I think it's because you're feeling more relaxed watching them so when something a little disturbing pops out it shocks you more than it should.
I had a similar problem with getting my hair washed at a saloon, due to that awful remake of 'The Blob'. I saw it years ago as a kid and can only remember one scene in it, where the blob oozes out of the sink into the hair wash basin of the local hair saloon. When the haridresser pushes the women back into the basin, she gets her face eaten by the Blob.
I still feel uneasy whenever I get my hair washed that way! I always check the sink before I get on the bed.

ppl who say they are scared by BWP have obviously never been camping. If they had, they would have spent the entire movie thinking, "Ok. That was dumb. I wouln't have done that. Why aren't they doing ..." and so on.
As well, they would never have seen a really, truly disturbing horror movie, like pretty much any Japanese Horror movie these days.
Audition isn't scary, but is very disturbing.

Very.

Saw...I don't know why ppl liked the movie. I found it too contrived and a 'try-too-hard' at grossness and unsettling scenes, to the point they weren't unsettling. Just..meh.


As for me, I can't think of any true phobias. I have lots of fears and dislikes of things. But nothing that I think can be classified as a phobia.
I don't like heights for example, could even say I'm scared of them. But that's normal and considering my appalling lack of balance, very understandable. So scared of heights, but I love climbing things and last year walked around the outside of a building 250m above ground. Because I was attached by a bungy cord, I felt safe (ish). If I had a phobia, I couldn't have done it.

I think my one almost phobia - in that it's sort of OCDish, is public toilets. I have to wipe the seat clean and put toilet paper on it before I use it. I then have to ash my hands thoroughly afterwards and use a paper towel to open the door. If something dirty touches me, I can'feel' it for hours afterwards.

I almost wish I had this phobia:
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
Not a phobia of long words (which would be quite funny in itself), but an irrational fear of the number '666'.
I just noticed that Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiacs is 31 letters long, making it longer than antidisestablishmentarianism or Floccinaucinihilipilification, thereby surely making it the longest non-technical word in the English language.

not "my friend". "A mon avis" means "in my opinion". And if you're going to get technical, it's "more beautiful", not "better", but that makes no difference. Good job on the translations. :D

Well, it's quite different from western languages, and it's grammar is not very well structured. If you went to China and spoke to them in grammar that's as structured as English (supposing you don't have an accent), the people would stare at you like you were crazy.

Spanish is easier? Hmm...I should bug Tweety to teach me in exchange for French lessons.

Much of it is very similar to french and english, so you can transfer alot of it. The verb structures and grammar are frenchy.

i am so sorry.. now i will never be able to do that either.. i will think of that quote

heir beady little eyes focused on that goddamn light...
If the light catches just right, their eyes glow.

And I wouldn't recommend coming to Middle Tennessee. We have moths that are bigger than hummingbirds.

i dont really have anything i would call a phobia. there are things i dislike and attempt to stay away. but i certainly dont freak out if i encounter them

Worms.

Spiders. They creep me out....

The annoying thing about that is, I remember distinctly not being afraid of spiders as a child. Then my best friend started to get into the "I'm so scared of spiders"-phase, and I played along, running around and screaming at the sight of a piece of lint that could have been a spider (in my defence, I was 5 years at the time). And before I knew it, my subconscience must have decided if I want to be scared of spiders, it can easily supply the adrenalin each time I see own, turning the pretended fear into real fear. Curse my childhood!

On the other hand, if I weren't scared of spiders, I might be scared of something else... something even more ridiculous, possibly.

Spiders. Ones that are smaller than a quarter (including legs) Im perfectly okay with. But whenever I see a huge spider I get freaked out and then I go into an adrenaline rush to kill it.

So, is there something you are absolutely terrified of that is ridiculous???
When we have pep-rallies or whatever they are.. at school, they have the band play. They play really loud.

For some reason, I get goosebumps and feel like I'm having a panic attack.

:(

Worms.
*twitches*

Also, small snakes scare the shit out of me..

Lyssophobia is mine. In some parts of the world it would be a legitimate phobia to have, but not where I live.
