~Phobias~
 

What scares the hell out of you?


They say everyone has a fear of something....rational or not.....

What is yours? I promise I will not use this information to torment you later:rolleyes:

Snakes and rats/mice!!! Keep them the hell away from me!!!:eek: :eek:

I was going to say Pussy farts....LMFAO but that's Kyttn's answer..LOL..:D :D


As for me it's lightenning. I run under the covers till it passes...

And another is my computer blowing up!!! :D :D :D

Ruining someone elses relationship.Years ago;before I was married;I was seduced by a friends wife!Even tho she was the
instigator;I never could look at him the same.I was engaged to my wife then and;just fooling around;could have screwed up a
good friedship and my future marriage.My wife found out about it
later;(years later)and even tho it was just mutual masturbation;
she was pissed off! Irish
P.S.After that;I vowed never to fool around with a friends wife or
girlfriend.I have had plenty of chances but always stayed true to
my vow.

CLOWNS!~

Ick...I shiver just thinking about the damn things!

Ophelia

Ophellia..where you just on the Maury Povich show recently??? LOL :D

If not you are not the only one with that phobia...I laughed when I saw that show..people scared of clowns...but it's a real phobia for some!!!

I;m terrified of Georgeous women with whips making promises - Just kidding Lilith

I'm terrified of one day loosing my abillity to communicate. Of having a funny thought and not being able to communicate it and make someone laugh.

Diva...wasn't me on Maury, but it could've been. I think Clowns are sick and wrong. I can't stand them. eeewww...see...I get all creeped out just talking about them!

Ophelia

Well it's a real phobia and I feel for you Ophelia, especially after watching that episode. Funny as it may seem to most of us...they are very much real!

There was even this one lady who was scared to death of tin foil!!!!!

Ophelia~ have I told you today that I love you? I HATE CLOWNS!!!!!! Evil bastards are hiding something!!!!!!! I have always hated them! We must be soul mates! LOL

Don't leave ME out of Clownaphobia.....
 

I go away and find this stuff all over my keyboard.

Do you KNOW what that MEANS???

It's clown poop and it means they've BEEN here! :eek: :( :whiteghos



p.s. i'm also not fond of lightening and yeah, losing my ability to communicate is a VERY scary thought indeed.

The actual name for the fear of clowns is coulrophobia... I don't really fear them, they're just not right! I don't of anthing that I have a real phobia of... except not being able to visit Pixies! :D

I'd have to say that a death by drowning scares me alot. I've been through almost buying the farm that way once and don't want a repeat performance. To die alone is my greatest fear. I've stories about people who died alone and no one comes to check on them till their house is either about to be condemned or the stinch begins to bother the neighborhood.

Aqua~ We are gonna have to seriously work on that.......remind me the next time I have you chained up at my mercy to do some stimulus testing til we find an appropriate phobia......;)

souls_cry2000----That can happen;the alone thing I mean!My mother is 89yrs.now.She lived in another state.(Conn.)My father
is dead so she lived alone.She was falling alot.I was going to get
her; one of those necklaces;with the call button on it.Some one reminded me that she could fall down;knock herself out;and could
lie there for days until someone found her!Against her wishes;I moved her to an assisted living home in this state.I sold her house.I hated to;because my father and I built it when I was a kid
You do what you have to do.I went in the armed forces at 17;mainly;to get out of her control but she is still my mother!

Actually i have three....thr first is probably alot of fatherly instinct but for somehting to happen to my kids......ive seen alot of parents that were totaly unable to protect their kids and that scares the crap out of me.
the second and third are from an incident that happened to me as a kid.....so called friends litterally bound me and put me in a old wooden box and left me there for ...prob 20min....but ive never been able to handle being tied or in a tight space....handcuffs?? forget it!! small rooms....i can hold my breath and get thru them.....lord help me if i ever get arrested for anything....they'd have to mace me and totallly bind me hand and foot......i'd probably go nuts.....

Damn MB that spoils all my plans for you...... I will just have to come up with an alternative:D


Hopefully the bad karma has followed those nasty kid their whole lives!

my fears are: being alone, surgery and stitches scare the CRAP outta me.... and Pussy farts are awful!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyttn

I am terrified of bugs and being alone

vampeyes....as long as ya come here.... i can guarantee ya .....you will never be alone..............and just stomp them bugs.........hehehehe

Hey Lilith, maybe if we put our heads together we can thing of something we can BOTH do to/with/for MB....:eek: :D :)

uh oh.....now where's that exit????
Hope noone ask for my deepest fantasy.....i'd be in real trouble then!!!!!LMAO!!!
and more than one might say eeeeeeewwwww!!!!hehehehehehehe!!!!!!!

my greatest fear is some horrible happening to my kiddies. Would drive me mad. there was a big murder case here in the uk a few years back where a couple of kids took a small boy from a shop and toutured him then beat him to death and left him on a railway line. they are both out of prison now. but on some witness rehab program.

Danziggy I still think about that case. Horrid.....

my smallest boy is now the same age as the boy they killed!! is just awful.....

I am deathly afraid of big spiders....one time I hyperventilated and freaked out so bad because it was on the ceiling above me, I wouldn't move off the bed until it was dead or out of my room. And if you hit at them...they always run at you......Aaaaaahhhhhhh its so terrifying....
I sound like a big wuss huh??

oh and...i work at 7-11 and i am really afraid of someone coming in and just taking a swing on me or something....but i dont admit to that....its just too horrible to imagine...especially when i've worked alone and had these idiots come in all pissed off.....

Kimmer22~I was in an armed robbery once and I swear no one should work at jiffy stores at night.....

Phobias? ................ Did somebody say my name?? :confused:

I've alluded to this on the site before, but have never quite come out and laid down my whole phobic experience for all to see, so here goes... *deep breath*

For a long time I was completely defined by my phobias. I had the 'typical' ones, the fears of spiders and bugs (didn't help that my mother was in entymology), heights, and so on, and those alone were the cause of many sleepless nights for me.

My more severe fear, however, took the form of social phobia, also known as generalized social anxiety disorder. Basically, I've been painfully aware of criticism since I was a little kid, a perfectionist in all I do, and that and my shyness combined to make me terrified of doing anything perceived as 'wrong' or 'weird'. That culminated, when I was in high school, with an absolute horror of being embarrassed or made fun of, and a paranoia which convinced me that almost everything I said or did would be construed as 'weird'. I'm not talking about truly odd things here, either --- somehow I was convinced that something as simple as buying a lettuce at the supermarket or getting a book out of the library would make people think I was weird. (Yeah. I know. It's silly, but then again, that's what phobias are about: unreasonable fear.) Anyway, it got to the point where I could no longer go to school, and then later to the point where I couldn't leave the house at all. Not fun, let me tell you... :rolleyes:

But happily, that phase of my life is over. I now lead an entirely normal life (well, apart from posting nude pics of myself on the internet ;)) and to talk to me in person you'd barely even realize that I'm shy, let alone that I've had that kind of experience. To be perfectly honest, sometimes I wonder if it was even me --- the person who feared so much is so far from the person I am now. I have surpassed my phobia and will never let it overcome me again; but I am no more free of it than an alcoholic who has been sober for years is free of his/her addiction --- I know that the patterns of thinking, the raw emotional responses, are still there, and they do still resurface from time to time. Now, however, I know I have the strength and the support to get beyond them, whereas before I floundered, not believing I had the potential to recover.

Anyway, that's my story. Sorry to go on for so long, but I wanted to offer my experience as a tale of hope for anyone out there who is reading this and struggling with their own fears --- you can get beyond them, and they don't have to rule your life. There's no miracle cure, but good friends and hard work will triumph. I for one am always available to listen if anyone wants to talk...

*standing proudly on the soapbox, no longer hiding under it*

well i dont work the nite shift....but 2p-10p is bad enough.
and i keep thinkin of these phobias i have...lol
when im at work sometimes i have to climb the ladder to do something...i get so tense that when i am done i can barely walk because i have tensed my legs up so much from the fear of falling off the ladder or having it collapse or something

<The crowd cheers and dozens upon dozens of flowers are thrown to SFC's feet>
Very inspirational SFC!! Thank you for being so willing to share yourself in this way... sometimes that's harder than sharing your body. You never cease to blow my mind, with words or images, drawn or sketched. Now just keep standing on that soapbox so I can gaze a little longer... :D

Wow, thanks, Aqua... I decided when I overcame my own phobia that it was important to talk about it when the opportunity arose, because one of the worst parts of the experience was the feeling that I was completely alone in what I was feeling. Didn't even have a name for the fear for years... Knowing that there were other people out there with the same feelings was one of the things that helped me get beyond the terror.

And now, to make this even more of a saccharine Hallmark moment, I just want to say that all of you people here at Pixies' have helped me to come out of my shell in ways that you can't even begin to imagine --- and I'm not just talking about stripping off my clothing, although that's part of it. So I want to thank each and every one of you for being the funny, warm, and supportive people you are!

Group-grope for everyone!!!

--- sweetstuff

I'm always ready for a Pixies group-grope!! :D :D

Kimmer22---I have a friend;who owns two(2)all night(7-11 type)
stores.One is right near an interstate highway exit.For a while;he
was having trouble with people;coming in drunk;and hassling&
robbing his night staff.I have a concealed weapons permit and
offered to fill in a few nights until his problems were over.He said;
"Thanks for the offer;but I know you!You'll get pissed off and
someone will get hurt!It's only money.I'd rather they got the money and no one got hurt.That's why I have insurance."It would
be better if more people thought that way.It wouldn't have been my way of handling it;but it makes more sense.I must be getting
older.My macho thinking is being replaced by rational thoughts.

i can not watch scares the shit out of me have a deep
resect for the emegancy servaces ho dea with every day

My phobia - acrophobia, fear of heights... can't get up on the roof, a problem when I needed to reshingle the mini-barn (only 8 ft off the ground, but may as well been 8000 ft) had to have a bud come over to finish the job, cleaning the gutters wears me out cuz I lock my knees to keep from shaking, and let's not even talk about glass elevators & those atrium lobbies.... who's the friggin' sadisitic bastard architect that came up with THAT?!?
