Do you have any Phobias?

[CourtasanSatine]

I have a classic one:

bugs

 

[bambii]

I hate elevators!! I will only go in on if I have my husband (since he knows how to open the doors), and a cell phone. Im scared the doors wont open

then snow not scared of the snow but scared to go out of our town when it is snowing. When I was in the 10th grade I lived 25 miles out of town. I was attending school and it was snowing, not hard or nothing, My mom was in town buying food for the cows. and she over heard truckers talking about the storm and it was about two hours away. So she pulled me out of school and we then went shopping for us. We figured we had an hour since it was a 30 minute drive we left the store and about 15 miles out the wind came up, then we were 7 miles from home. and that is when the Snow came. and we were in the pick up and you couldnt see the front of the pick up. my mom told me to face the back and I did it took us 20 minutes to drive 7 miles. Every since then I cant stand to go out of town when it snows. It used to be rain and fog, but this summer I lost that fear, by just being out in it.

and I hate to drive just thinking about it makes me shack and sweat. Dont know why. I use to drive until four years ago.

Tornados, spiders (doesn't help that I'm allergic), and escalators (mainly the down escalators- I absolutely will not ride one) are the three things I am so scared by that I can't deal w/ them. Other things I am extremely scared of are not being able to move (being trapped or pinned down for example) and having my face covered up. I guess I really am strange!

Fire-I was scared of it even before this but during my Freshman year of High School, my dad set a motor home engine on fire while he was working on it and then that Thanksgiving my mom had put a light bulb in a trash bag and it was my job to burn the trash. About half-way through the Detroit Lions/Denver Broncos game, I heard something that sounded like a car door slam. We went outside and our backyard was on fire. It's probably the scariest thing I've ever experienced.
Lizards-they creep me out
closed in spaces-MRI machines and sometimes elevators (depending on my mood that day, I guess.)
underwater tunnels
those overpasses that BT was talking about....I had a nightmare once that I was on one of those and it suddenly ended.

Just one....LIZARDS!

We have all kinds of lizards here in Hawaii, mostly geckos which live in many people's houses.

Dentists - I will only go if I absolutely have to.

Wasps - I just hate them around me.

Water - I've been frightened of being in it since I was a kid. Mind you, I did learn to swim in the early 80's, but I'm still scared of it.

CATS

My Mom said a cat jumped on me when I was young and I am soooo scared of them, even kittens!!

Thanks Tina

I'm enjoying reading your replies. I forgot one, the underground/tube - I need windows!

Looks like there are quite a few of us who hate elevators/lifts then!

coulrophobia

I'm with you BUGGIN'

The fear of clowns! I can't stand them!

 

[Beauty]

BIRDS! They terrify me! I walk through Disney at times with John's arm over my head! That movie THE BIRDS! UUGGHH!! ONe time someone on here posted a picture of a webcam at Disney and a bird popped up and I almost jumped out of my skin!!!! I hate birds!!! That picture that Dan took, I can't for the life of me figure out how he didn't freak out when he got that close to it...LOL!

I'm also afraid of Tornados.

Spiders and clowns

 

[Kallison]

I do not like mice and rodents.

I hate driving over big bridges or between those concrete barriers. Tunnels aren't the greatest for me either. I've had some major panic attacks. I don't usually drive on vacation because of any one of those things crop up I freak out. I think the problem is I stopped commuting to work when I became a SAHM, for the past 12 years I've pretty much driven in our town only.

I'm a nervous flier.

Public speaking is not my favorite.

Oh and for some reason Nuns in full black habits freak me out. My Mom said I've been that way ever since I was a little kid. They still make me break out in a sweat. Once we ran into about 20 of them at Disney trying to walk to the wrong way and cut in line.
