What fears do you have?

[afinalfantasy]

I have quite a few myself, some I don't know why though. I have a fear of

- Spiders (Arachnophobia)
- Heights (Acrophobia)
- Needles (Trypanophobia)
- Thunderstorms (Astraphobia)

What about you guys?

[casualmadness]

I have an unnatural fear of becoming homeless. Not that I'm irresponsible or addicted to drugs or alcohol or anything like that. I have higher education and lots of experience and I'm a hard worker, but still...I have an overwhelming fear that I'll end up homeless some day.

I'm a little claustrophobic, but not enough to where I'll do anything other than squirm a little if left in a small space for a long time.

I'm also one of those guys who gets really nervous in big crowds. That's half the reason I hate big parties.

[MakiSupaStar]

I have irrational fears about irrational things and an unnerving lack of fear about things that should scare the crap out of me. What does that mean?

I'm a tiny bit claustrophobic too... only if something can be avoided. I have a hard time wearing full-faced helmets when riding a motorcycle, but otherwise, not much bothers me.

And needles.

Heights, but only when I'm looking up at a tall building or looking down at the ground without anything between me and the edge of the building.

I'm also afraid of standing in front of large Mack trucks, not sure why but it freaks me out.

[playinpearls]

spiders and thunderstorms...no clue why....especially thunderstorms, i have to put ear protection on at night if i get woke up by one to sleep...can't seem to get over it...



spiders aren't nearly as bad...

[palm grease]

i cant put wood in my mouth (all jokes aside this is a medical condition)... its a tactile thing.... wood and cardboard on my tongue make me barf.... there is a name for it...it was actually a thread on TB back in 04'ish.... dont ask how i know!


hahahaha ok lets get it all out.... wood in mouth....hahahaha sigh

edit: so i guess my fears are tongue depressers and eating cardboard

Understandable, but I'm surprisingly not afraid of that. I guess it's four years unloading 53' trailers and having to walk around them in a lumberyard, running and everything. I guess I've just been desensitized to that.

I sort have a thing about heights. Not like a paralyzing fear or anything, but I definitely keep one hand on a ladder once I get to about 10 feet off the ground.


I also have a fear of my band breaking up. Not really irrational given some recent circumstances.

[jwbassman]

I guess that I have a fear of bees and wasps. I mean I don't freak out like some people, but I definately get uncomfortable if I have to spray a nest of them. I've been stung plenty of times and it's not all that bad, and luckily I'm not allergic. But I definitely try to avoid contact if at all possible.

[knarleybass]

I am a little claustrophobic and I really don't like big flying insects.

[artistanbul]

I don't know if it's a phobia but I have a traumatic fear of earthquakes.

[MonetBass]

I have a great fear that my future self will travel back in time and meet me. I believe the universe would implode or something.

[Scarlet Fire]

I'm terribly afraid of the dark. If it gets too dark, I start to have trouble breathing and have a panic attack. I always have to sleep with a night light, and I always have to reach around a wall and flick the lights on before I can walk into a room or hallway.

[Akeris]

I have a fear of heights but...like...I don't.

If I'm standing on somthing high and looking down I'm fine. If I'm standing somewhere and looking up at somthing that is way higher than me (Skyscraper, certain malls, certain church cielings) I start to freak out. And then if I look away I get more nervous, like I know it's there over me...lurking.

I dunno if there's a name for it.

I also have a fear of vomitting. I dunno I uncontrollably freak out (heart races, shaking, profuse sweating, etc. etc. slightly before, during and for like hours after I throw up... and not just from sickness symptoms)
