Phobia's

[musketeer]

I am an arachnaphobic and I was wondering if any other Pixies have phobia's. I'm not too keen on heights either.

[Lilith]

coulrophobia :clown:

[naughtyangel]

Musketeer, we have something in common. I'm deathly afraid of spiders, can't even move away when one's coming towards me. I'm also terrifed of heights, and detest staircases where you can see between the steps! I won't even stand on a chair to change a lightbulb, lol

I wouldn't say I'm afraid of needles, but I dislike them intensely...enough that it's stopping me from getting the tattoo I'd really love to have :p

And I'm afraid of bees and hornets, but only because I'm allergic, otherwise they wouldn't bug me :D

[englishrose]

I hate clowns, yes indeedy.... Also have a disliking to spiders. But mostly the dark... but not like when i turn the light out in the room. I mean in the middle of nowhere, cannot see a thing.... *shivers* anything could be there with you, and you'd never know!!!

i don't really have any phobias... wait neverfuckagainaphobia??? yeah i'm scared of that!

[Kissy]

My husband suffers from arachnaphobia horribly. And I do mean suffers. Besides all his buddies making fun of him, he gets so embarassed when he has to come ask me to chase a spider out of some room for him. I think it just makes him human.

I suffer from Mottephobia, which is the fear of moths. And then we moved here and every year they migrate through here and start coming out of the smoke detectors and the light switch plates. Pretty gross even for someone who isn't horribly afraid. I had to learn to deal with it a little because I have to get up with the kids if they wake up.

So my husband gets rid of the moths and I chase the spiders in our house! :p

[WildIrish]

Now that I've conquered Dishabiliophobia (fear of taking off my clothes)... I'm off to tackle Sciophobia (fear of shadows).


Nothing will convince me to hug a clown.

[skyler_m]

I'm afraid of mimes. They just freak me out. I mean what's with being stuck in a box I can't see? and if they just asked I would gladly help them out.

[Gilly]

Snakes. Horribly, heart attack worthy, dealthy afraid of them. I get it from my dad. When I was 5, or maybe only 4 (I know I wasn't in kindergarten yet, but it was summer, so I had either just turned 4 or 5) my dad worked nights, so he was home with us during the day until about supper time.

Well, one day, I'm out in the back yard having a merry time, and my dad was inside fixing us some sandwhiches for lunch. I happen to feel a movement with my toe, and glance down as a garter snake is slithering across my feet. I screamed my little head off, and my dad, in all his only-wearing-whitey-tighty's glory, comes running outside and into the back yard. As soon as I screamed snake, he had me scooped up and in the house with the doors locked quicker than I've ever seen him move.

Now days, I'm terrified of them, and have dreams where I wake up, and just know there must be some exotic posionous snake in bed with me, waiting to slither up the sheets, and bite me before curling up on my chest and giving me a heart attack.

Those are the nights when I litterly toss every last thing off the bed, stand in a corner, and make my hubby search the bed for unwanted creatures. He gets a kick out of it, though.

Honestly, though, if one ever came near me, without an unbreakable berrier, I can very likely see me having a heart attack. I can't breath, I get dizzy, and then have a full blown panic attack if I see one in an aquarium, other than at a zoo.

Now, admittadly, it's not likely that it'll ever happen to me in this nice suburbun neighborhood, but still.

What's even creepier, is that I am utterly fascinated by them. If there's a movie about them, or a documentary, or even a herbavore magazine around, I have to watch, eyes wide open, staring in fascinatination. At the zoo, I never miss the snake house. Sick and wrong, I know. And you know, it's not the big fat long 20 footers that really bug me. It's the really skinny, pencil thin 2 footers that really freak me out, because they're so long, and skinny, and can hide in literally anything. UGH

ROFL

[WildIrish]

Somebody had to say it! ha ha

[FallenAngel5]

I am deathly, deathly afraid of needles. To the point where I pass out when I get blood drawn. And it bugs the hell out of me whenever there's a blood drive or something, and I refuse to give blood, because I know that I would turn white as a sheet and pass out... and people always ask why... and when I tell them, it's always the same answer "oh, it's not that bad, it doesn't even hurt." Yeah, ok... :) I've always wanted a tattoo as well, but could never do it.

[Lilith]

I make Imelda look like a schlump;)

[Summer]

I have Agoraphobia (Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place)and Chiraptophobia (Fear of being touched). I have worked many years of trying to overcome them. One day I shall. ;)

[SuccubusKitty]

claustrophobia...big time... I mean so long as I know I have a way out of wherever I am and I can get to it easily I can keep it in check but the first time I think I am unable to get out .... Freak Out Time

[PantyFanatic]

Lilith & Gilly.

I want you to think “shoelace”. It’s a “SHOELACE” in a funny position is all.






Do not think SNAKE. :eek:

*note to self...start grocery shopping in the middle of the night when all the hot agoraphobes are out!*


:D

[Gilly]

Panty, you are such a prick. :D


Summer, I have a touch of Agoraphobia, but the meds I take now control it rather nicely. Back before I found this one, it was fairly rotten. I had to do my grocery shopping at midnight at a local 24 hour shop.

[scotzoidman]

Deathly acrophobic here, fear of heights...can't stand being up on a roof, ladders are a prob...but nothing compared to DW's fear of snakes...I keep rubber snakes on my grape arbor to scare the birds off, one fell off & she hit it with the mower...and literally wet her pants right then & there...

[PantyFanatic]

Don't let her have any of Lilith's milkshake for that Scotzoid. ;)

Ugh, I'd likely do the same.

Few years ago, me and hubby were down visiting my family and staying with my grandparents. I went out back and stepped onto the porch, and a itty bitty 7 or 8" garter snake slithered across the cement and under the porch. I jumped onto the rail, and screamed my head off until Nick heard me and came running. I jumped into his arms, and made him carry me inside and shut all the doors. After I explained, he started laughing, but he said when he heard me scream, he thought for sure I'd found my grandpa lying dead in the garden, or something.

As for rubber snakes... UGH UGH UGH. The plastic ones that stay in one position are nothing. I won't touch them, sure, but I can tell they are nothing.

On the other hand, those damn rubber ones that flop all over when you pick em up.... Well, my son got one last year, and we were cleaning his room, and I made Nick pick it up and put it away, and held my breath cringing, on the verge of a panic attack, at the idea that he might toss it at me, just to tease me. UGH UGH UGH.




Have I said UGH?

[LadyKissAlot]

Mine is the fear of dark places. Not sure what that's called or the reason why I am afraid of the dark. Lord help me if the power goes out at night....I literally freeze up and cease to function til the power comes back on.

[Belial]

I get pretty scared of spiders if they take me by surprise, or if they scurry off somewhere and I can't see or get to them to kill them. Speed generally bothers me more than size. Still, I'm not sure if it qualifies as arachnaphobia.

[Irish]

I wouldn't even be worried about tattoos.I have three(3).You don't have to look,when they're done,& most can't be seen when
they are done.They don't even hurt.You might get a mild burning
sensation.I got my last one,at my wifes request,(she paid for it!)
It is around my left upper arm area & unless you try to look,you
don't see the Tattoo artist applying it! Irish

[imaginewithme]

Mine is the fear of being "trapped" somewhere....a car, bus, somewhere without a car, a boat....i hate it!

[BIBI]

I've scared myself a few times!

[Sharni]

1. Claustrophobia ~ fear of enclosed spaces

2. Acrophobia ~ fear of heights

3. Arachnophobia ~ fear of spiders

4. And freaking crickets....creepy bastards!!

[PantyFanatic]

Jumpin jiminy :) Our lady is feeling better.

I can’t believe bears aren’t on your list, but glad to see you back long enough to tell us about these monsters.

WildIrish~ LOL I live in a town that shuts down early so I can go shopping at 7:00pm! See ya then! ;) hehe

[scotzoidman]

I didn't really explain the depths (or heights?) of my acrophobia...caused me to spend $$$ I really didn't have to have gutter helmet installed on my house last year...because I can't stand climbing up on a shaky ladder 30 ft up in the air to clear the leaves & shit out of the gutters..
