What are your Phobias?

[Lesleyluvdisney]

This is a really weird one - dont ask me why or how!!!

But I am petrified, of heavy machinery related to water, submarines, ships, oil riggs, bouys out at sea. Ive tried to rationalise it, its not the water Im scared of its just the rusty metal under water, - I know- weird!!

4 years ago DFi managed to get me to go through Nautlis at DLP when I got to the engine room bit I freaked out, pushing backwards and going back through the wrong way.


Shuddering just thinking about it!!

spiders !! even turning a page in a magazine and seeing one freaks me out

 

[KayleeUK]

Snakes and big spiders for me

 

[Bexx]

Statues!!! The bigger and darker they are, the worse it is!!

 

[Stella_the_Staff]

being a passenger when my partner is driving. Does that count? Also don't like being a rear seat passenger, like to see and anticipate what is ahead, if you know what I mean.
Also not too keen on wasps, crane flys, woodlice & earwigs.

Mine is also confined spaces i very often have really bad nightmares about not being able to get out of somewhere and end up running about the bedroom screaming and shouting. I once tried to evacuate the family 3 o'clock in the morning saying the house was on fire.
I also hate people being sick as i work in a school it is very difficult to avoid it

Butterflies...............

No idea why but they frighten me to death even if they're pinned on a board!
Something about their fat, furry bodies I think

I always thought I was the only person who was terrified of butterflies - now I know I'm not the only one! (I used to live near fields , and when I was a toddler if I was naughty my gran would threaten that these really big butterflies (don't seem to see them around any more) would come and get me if I didn't behave ....thanks Nan! I still love her though ) I can now stand having a small one flutter past me but I could never hold one or go to a butterfly park -

I really hate wasps. I think they are pointless horrible things whose only purpose in life is to cause disruption and distress. I am not fond of most of natures little friends really. My other big phobia and I can't even bear to look at one, is ventriliquist dummies...those old fashioned ones with cracked faces.
This stems from me seeing one in a horror film which I was watching as a child when I wasn't supposed to (had a babysitter) and it really frightened me.

Snakes.Snakes.Snakes.

I have the BIGGEST phobia of these things. I have no rational explanation....

I cannot watch one on tv. I cannot look at a picture in a magazine. I cannot even consider been anywhere near one.

Anybody who has ever been anywhere near me when I have the unfortunate luck to come across one of these things cannot believe the extent I am scared, My entire body shakes, My brain can't function well enough to tell me to turn away and I HAVE to know EXACTLY where it is which makes the situation worse because me eyes will not stop staring.

The only way I can be removed from 'danger' is when my mum/friend/boyfried realises what has happened and physically drags me away.

Mice-remember when we had them in the house last year,i didn't sleep for a week as i was to scared.


I don't like height's very much,though i love coasters.

Snakes

 

[Nubbedy]

I've got two - clowns (especially ones with painted faces) and bats.

I can't even stand the thought of bats. We went to Ibiza last year and I used to hate walking back to our room at night coz I had to walk past a wooded area that was full of the horrid, evil little monsters.

Wasn't bad enough to stop me going out for a drink though!

I cant believe weve reached page three without anyone mentioning my personal phobia - the dentist! I cant even go into one with the kids when they have a checkup without almost throwing up. And if anyone is doing DIY with a drill then im under the cushions on the sofa. Teeth in general make me feel sick - brushing my own twice a day makes me wretch and gag. Ok, feeling bit icky now so i will close.

I cant believe weve reached page three without anyone mentioning my personal phobia - the dentist!

Got to take DD for her 6 mthly check up tomorrow and I'm having to have a glass or three of wine in preparation
Thank goodness it's not just me

My ex DH always used to take my older two but the little one's down to me Can't even get the moral support of the older kids this time (as I usually do) as one's on work experience and the other's been living in S America for the last 18 mths
DH was supposed to be coming but he's working

Best have another glass.....................

 

[shellbell]

I hate heights, this is anything from being on a high road, flying, tall buildings or rides.

Spiders, I have a very big fear of them big or little. Last year there was a huge one in the bedroom and DH killed and flushed it away with out showing me the evidence, I wouldn't sleep in the room for days. I still can't read in bed now

Daddy long legs, they really scare me!!!

My strangest phobia is Beans I can't touch them, hate cooking them for DH and certainly can't wash up any pots or dishes with them on

 

[SammieG]

sick.. cant bear anyone being sick -
My poor son, when he is sick (which fortunately is extremely infrequently) I almost run a mile.

If I feel sick, i start to go into a panic - again Im not sick often (not for the last 15 years I should say) --

Even the sick smiley makes me feel ill.

My worst nightmare happened on our way back from the USA in October.
My son complained of tummy ache. We went to get out of our seats on the plane, and he was sick all over me.. I basically took the full force.. well me and the chairs..

god, it was vile. My clothes were unwearable totally.. and my son continued to be sick all the way home, even as we got off the plane, even as we waited for our luggage and again in the car on the way home..
it was absolutely awful.

BA were amazing. They found me some first class PJs to wear (I was so happy to get out of my clothes that wearing PJs out of the airplane was no big deal at all!)
and they cleaned up as best they could, but we basically had to sit in sick all the way home.. (and the plane was delayed).

That was 5 of the most unpleasant hours of my life.

ewwww.. Im stopping, writing this is freaking me out!

 

[carolfoy]

Hurrah, its not just me! Mine is more wooden sticks against teeth - just the thought of it sends a shiver through me. I will eat a lolly but get rid of the stick ASAP afterwards. As for wooden tongue depressers bleugh!

Me Too!!! I'm sure my phobia comes from having always got sore throats as a kid and the doctor putting those wooden spatula things back my throat to check on my tonsils, its making me all shivery just typing about it!!!

Hurrah, its not just me! Mine is more wooden sticks against teeth - just the thought of it sends a shiver through me. I will eat a lolly but get rid of the stick ASAP afterwards. As for wooden tongue depressers bleugh!

Me too - icky!

And the feel of cotton wool balls, or the thought of biting a towel!
Not that I have ever biten a towel.

My Mum is petried of buttons! Yes, buttons.
Some are worse than others.
She particularly hates the ones with 4 holes, but they all send her freaky.

My Sister hates Camels, and DH hates Bees, Wasps and Cats (yes, cute little kitty cats).

I am mostly scared of grass hoppers/crickets (ick!) and marmite!!

 

[Tink78]

I always thought I was the only person who was terrified of butterflies - now I know I'm not the only one!

OMG - me too!
I forgot about that one, as I haven't seen any for ages.
And Moths too.

They always seem to bomb dive me!
I swear they know it's me, and they all come to 'get' me!!

 

[Lesleyluvdisney]

RIGHT!!! OK what is wrong with me!!!??

A lot of people are saying they have similair phobias, no-one has said they have one similair to mine!! So must just be me then definately crazy!!

This is a really weird one - dont ask me why or how!!!

But I am petrified, of heavy machinery related to water, submarines, ships, oil riggs, bouys out at sea. Ive tried to rationalise it, its not the water Im scared of its just the rusty metal under water, - I know- weird!!

4 years ago DFi managed to get me to go through Nautlis at DLP when I got to the engine room bit I freaked out, pushing backwards and going back through the wrong way.

 

[Funniebunny]

My biggest phobia is of Vomit, if someone I know is ill I will not go near them.
I'm not keen on spiders or heights, basically I'm a wuss!
