I dunno if there has been a thread like this one before but i was wondering what phobais do people have- especially weird ones- and how have they coped or not coped lol!!
I am arachnaphobic (fear of spiders) i don't mind tiny spiders but medium and large spiders i just jump and get away from it!! I been to a country called the Philippines and they had jumping spiders there- scary!! Once where i was staying, there was this HUGE spider that could move super fast across the room towards me i just had to get to the other side of the room to get out- really scary

On topic I love spiders... Don't have much phobias, not even sure Ihave one, maybe the phobia of government and politicians...
Once two friends were talking about glitches, and I was finding it hard to not freak out. I closed my eyes and sat with my back against a wall, trying to breath slowly. One of them thought something had happened to me and touched my arm to ask if I was ok. The moment he touched me I screamed.
I'm scared of spiders too. When I see one, my boyfriend will get rid of it, but then he likes to take an empty piece of toilet paper, tell me the spider is still in it and chase me into a corner and throw it at me. Bitch
Hehe, the glitch one, Indrid, thats like a cool fear
And there are many cool games that I can't play anymore because I got a glitch in them...
My girlfriends main phobia, is that she has a cronic fear of Cliff Richard!
It would be funny if a man had Ithyphallophobia.The fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis. How would he cope with morning wood?!
eta: needles! ive got a big fear of needles.
Me too. I'm a LOT better than I used to be though.
I also have a phobia of people who say they have a phobia to mean they really don't like something, or they're just a bit scared of it. :grump:
I can definitely understand that. I'm a bit weird about people in masks, though to say I'm scared is probably a bit of an exaggeration.
Jellyfish are my only other fear. My ex was deathly afraid of moths which I never really understood... I don't like 'em, but they don't particularly bother me. I'll never forget sitting in the kitchen first year of Uni and hearing his SCREAMS because a moth had flown into the toilet while he was sitting on the can Though to be fair it was more like a fucking massive bat than any moth I'd seen before or since...
Nowadays needles. I can't even look at them, go near them. I faint whenever I've had them.
My friend has a phobia of polystyrene.
Probably best to avoid watching the end of the Wicker Man...
On a side note don't forget our article on some very uncommon phobias as well as our general advice on dealing with phobias.
I am fucking TERRIFIED of moths. They scare the bloody shit outta me, no matter the size, but the big ones... oh god. I would cry.
At year 10 camp, there were at least 3 giant ones in each toilet. I was considering peeing in the sink, if there werent a million there too *shudder*
They freak me out.
Medium - big sized spiders freak me out too. Little ones I can deal with, and I dont see why people scream and run around about a little one, but there was a time I wouldnt even touch a picture of one :yuck:
I think most flying insects freak me out - cept Bee's. Wasps, yes, bee's - not really.
I also have a fear of heights/falling
i remember some face your fear show where they used to shut people in a chamber with something they feared. I remember seeing a guy who was afraid of oranges.
My bedroom window is surrounded by Ivy which, in the summer months, makes my life a living hell. I had to get my mum out of bed the other day at 3 in the morning because there was a spider in my room. (I'm itching now as I think about it!). It fell underneath my bed and I couldn't sleep in my bed that night, even though mum had killed it. To me, it's totally irrational, but I can't help it.
I'm hysterical usually if there's a spide near me, and I freeze - I physically can't move and then I hyperventilate.
Wish I wasn't so phobic. :no:
Got a fear of low ceilings, dark, and having my arms in sleeping bags freaks me out coz i feel tied up and unable to escape! weird..
Freaky. Do you ever think there might be a glitch in our world? Have you seen the thirteenth floor? I watched it last night and couldn't sleep, eventually crawling into my daughter's bed (who was in my bed) "cos she must be real" and then sleeping through my alarm this morning. The matrix freaked me out for a while too, and glutton for punishment that I must be, I'm hoping Dark City arrives next week for more nightmare-ish fun...
anyway..i HATE moths and anything that can fly e.g. flies! especially big fat ones. i'm not very keen on spiders but my fear has sort of lessened a bit.
most of all i hate wasps.
