January 4, 200719 yr You guys need to see people with some real phobias - that will put your own into context. A real arachnophobic, is someone who sees a spider in the corner of a room, and won't go back in there at all for weeks, in case it has a spider in it. A real phobia should interrupt your life considerably. You guys are probably mostly just a bit worried :) For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.
January 4, 200719 yr A real arachnophobic, is someone who sees a spider in the corner of a room, and won't go back in there at all, in case it has a spider in it. Yep, that's me...see a spider = screaming, bulging veins, perspiration, inability to re-enter the room...etc :( The Poison Fairy
January 4, 200719 yr fears? rejection. I don't know if thats a "phobia" or not though Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

A real phobia should interrupt your life considerably. You guys are probably mostly just a bit worried :) Yeah, that's what I consider a true phobia. However, my fear of spiders is pretty irrational (they can't hurt me, there's no reason why I should be scared of a small spider when a large beetle doesn't scare me) which is why i'd call myself a mild aracnophobic.

January 4, 200719 yr My Top Ten Fears: 1. Death - Um...Duh? 2. Fire - I've been afraid of it for a really long time... 3. Vehicular accidents (Airplanes count) - I fly a lot...And I hear about fatal car accidents all the time... :ohnoes: 4. Heights/Open Spaces - This is ONE fear. It's a type of "fear of heights". I'm fine if the area is enclosed, but if not...I'm going to go crazy. 5. Escalators - Number 4 leads to this one. 6. Dogs - One bit my mom when I was five...Even before that, their teeth scared me. 7. Losing something I love - Not someone. That'd go under number one. 8. Styrofoam - Or at least the sound it makes when scraped...Whenever I pick some up, I get this feeling... 9. Glitter - Don't ask. =; 10. Failing - Not only grades...Failing to meet someone's expectations... Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
January 4, 200719 yr Heights (high medium) :uhh: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Strange...I'm sure there are more people afraid of death, some are just afraid to admit it...Oh yeah...That's what I left out! Public speaking is my number 6 fear. Kicking failing off the list.

January 5, 200719 yr I don't believe in phobias. As I see them as a pointless way to label certain fears that can be gotten over if you work at it. Me doing staff.
January 5, 200719 yr I enjoy public speaking, I like the attention. I don't really have any real phobias, having would be kinda freaky by the looks of what you guys say.
January 5, 200719 yr Fear of flies. >.> It's lame. A cat got into the garbage bags, and it rained, and I had to rebag it, and there were like a million flies. It was [bleep]ing freaky. And then, a fear of deep water and water animals. Like whales and squids and stuff. ;O It really has
January 5, 200719 yr Author 8. Styrofoam - Or at least the sound it makes when scraped...Whenever I pick some up, I get this feeling... Oh man, I HATE that noise and the feeling of cutting into styrofoam :ohnoes: I don't believe in phobias. As I see them as a pointless way to label certain fears that can be gotten over if you work at it. You know some phobias are actually concidered medical conditions? Its like a developed irrationality, a complex if you will. Of course you can work it out, but it dosent change the fact that they can severely impact on peoples lives, with no fault of thier own. It's like a disability for some people.
January 5, 200719 yr I can't walk in front of bathroom doors at schools/airports/restaurants (basically anywhere other than a house.. I'm fine with that). I'm always afraid the door is going to swing open as someone walks out, and hit me in the face. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog

Batophobia- Fear of heights or being close to high buildings. Also bad experience, I was climbing a mountainous area that went vertical at the higher point looking for firewood because we were having a contest to see who can gather the most wood, start a fire and burn a string the quickest. I was looking for firewood up there cuz there were dead trees and their branches were falling off. So I climb, and now I'm about 14 feet from the part were you can stand I lose grip and slip abit, luckily for me I regain my hold but my pants were completely torn at the knees and I was abit bloody. But all in all it was fun I just hate height cuz I think I shall fall or someone will push me. Catagelophobia- Fear of being ridiculed. Claustrophobia- Fear of confined spaces.

January 5, 200719 yr Author Nosophobia or Nosemaphobia- Fear of becoming ill. Yeah, I have that too, to the extent when I hold my breath when handling most rubbish and wash my hands every time I handle rubbish/something dirty.
January 5, 200719 yr I'm scared of heights. :( One time, me and my brother climbed a really tall tower in the mountains. It was an old fashioned tower that was used to spot forest fires (made of wood). When we got to the top, the wind was blowing and I felt like the tower was leaning from side to side. It was soooo scary. I clenched my fists until I cut myself with my fingernails. I'll never ever go back up there again. I also get really scared around a large group of people. For that reason, I really hate Christmas shopping with the crowds and everything. I have to go outside of the mall for awhile to get some fresh air, otherwise I feel as though I'm going to pass out. I really hate it.
January 5, 200719 yr Erm, I know it sounds strange, but I'm absolutely terrified of fish. Touching one, looking at one... Not scared of sharks or fish tank fish, more dead ones and ones that could be in the sea. That would be the only thing I would consider to be a phobia, unrational fear of fish... SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.
January 5, 200719 yr That would be the only thing I would consider to be a phobia, unrational fear of fish... Irrational. Not unrational. I've got worse. :wink: Glitter? Escalators? Dogs? Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
