Do you have any Phobias?

[~*Belle 2003*~]

Mine are in no particular order.....

Spiders, especially the big house spiders and tarantulas

Lifts - I got stuck in one once when I was in Italy. All the lights went out and it was stuck between two floors. I do go in them very occasionaly but I am terrified that they will get stuck again, so if I have the option to use the stairs I will always opt for them instead!

Small rooms without any windows - but that's because they remind me of lifts!!!

Dentists

Coffins/Graveyards/ and anything else associated with death - just freaks me out!

So how about you...whose next?

Alligators/crocodiles. I don't know why, but I feel like they all have my name or something. "Hey! Did you hear! Maggie's coming to Orlando this summer, let's make sure we all greet her." I would love to parasail at WDW, but I'm afraid that at the end of the sail, they'll dunk me in the lake, and some alligator will be waiting there. I'm also a little leary about being on the beach at night to watch the EWP.

Same with sharks, great whites in particular.

I'm also a little claustophobic. I have to not think about it in elevators or on a plane.

I'm just a loon.

The #1 thing that gives me the heebie geebies is SNAKES any and all kinds fake, real it really doesn't matter.

I am also uneasy about heights over 2 or 3 stories I get the feeling that I'm rocking and loosing my balance.

I guess I'm weird too!!!

 

[Suzy Mouse]

I have a fear of being trapped in a car that is going under water. My parents recently got me the escape hammer!!!

 

[tiggerlover]

My biggest fears are: snakes, rodents, big spiders, gators, guns and being on a very steep road without guard rails.

Heights!! Its terrible. We went to see an IMAX movie in Las Vegas this past week. It was about astronauts at the Space Station. In the opening scene, they had an astronaut OUTSIDE the space station doing some work and they changed the angle of the camera so you could see Earth below him and I nearly fell out of the chair. It scared me so bad I had to pull the goggles off. My husband was laughing at me because I spent more than half of the movie with the goggles off.

I am a tad claustophobic. Very afraid of heights. Tower of terror is not my kind of ride

 

[FOJMO]

Mine is not really a phobia, but I really HATE to touch/feel cotton! Not the material, but like cotton balls, etc.

When we were little, my brother used to sneak cotton balls in my pockets, so that when I put my hand in the pocket, I would accidentally feel the cotton. I hate the way it feels -- kinda squeaky(?) and it goes right THROUGH me!!!

Now, that's weird...

 

[jx3smom]

I am totally terrified of elevators. My other fears are snakes and dentists.

 

[browneyes]

I have acrophobia, but I'm trying hard to combat it.

Dead rats tend to make me scream like a banshee too.

 

[Sonya]

Spider and heights give me the creeps. And I haven't flown for a loooooong time.

 

[Rajah]

Spiders, elevators, roaches, big city freeways, floods...

 

[Robinrs]

All of you people who are afraid of elevators, DO NOT move to NYC!

I have a fear of mice, all rodents, really, water (can't swim) and bicycles... I know....

My son has one fear, Vacuum Cleaners!!

 

[gravymom]

Robinrs,

My oldest DD used to be hysterically afraid of our vacuum cleaner. Then it died (yay!) and I got a Miele. It is very quiet and she actually wants to help me vacuum. You might want to check that out.

I hate heights (but love coasters - go figure!) I hate rides that just drop you but I make myself ride TOT. Spiders, snakes, gross looking insects - can live without. Hate flying (just taking off and landing). Can't deal with elevators that go up higher than 14-15 floors.

Can anyone say "Prozac?"

[gemmie214]

Snakes FREAK me out.
I also have a thing about possession. Just the thought of The Exorsist .................
