Fears/Phobias.

[dave_rhino]

I'm pretty sure this hasn't been talked about before.

Was having a long talk with work buddies about fears and stuff today, so was just wondering what everyone on the boards phobias are?

For me, mainly its the fear of the unknown. Eg. swimming out at sea. Seriously, you never know whats underneath you.

Also, when im sitting at the train station and a fast train goes SPEEEEDING past, that freaks me out so much i usually jump behind a wall.

And blue ink. I fucking can't stand blue ink in pens. It gives me the creeps. ITS JUST NOT RIGHT!

Hmmmm...... let me think about this one....





When I was out of shape for a brief period, I found that I was far more agressive, angrier and unrealistic. Mostly, my irrational fears had to do with me not being able to breathe. Usually, it was a fear while sleeping (that was a bitch). I found that getting cut up again and eating right, solved most of my self imposed obstacles and problems.

i need to say this one carefully - I still have an irrational anger and maybe even despiser toward people who exhibit poor taste in appearance, yet are very conceited. That mostly occurs when I travel in non-Mediterranean countries.... I can't shut that one off, and I am very judgmental on how people clothe themselves and make far too strong assumptions about them because of it. (More often than not I am wrong, but I still often cannot stop focusing on their poor footwear, glasses, makeup, whatever)

I still need to work on that one.

Hmmm I'm afraid of...
-Venereal Diseases
-The chic from the movie "Don't be a Menace" who turns into a freak!
-Heights
-Going to Jail
-Getting a girl pregnant when we're not ready
-Girls who say I love you after three days of knowing you
-Drinking old milk or consuming anything thats gone bad
-Dying from one of the worst ways to die...See "whats the worst way to die thread"
-Breaking bones and spraining ankles
Can't keep goin...I'm paranoid enough as it is lol:eek:

A phobia of mine is water. I've never been comfortable with large amounts of water. I don't like the thought of what may be beneath or around me when I'm in the sea. I can't stand the thought of something being able to attack me and drag me below the surface. Nor do I like huge waves. There's just something completely wrong about those. I don't know what it is. It's like a wave is more frightening than an avalance or a stream of lava or something like that.

Other things I fear are losing my youth, wasting my life away, being lonely, and generally anything that has to do with making my life a complete waste of time.

The fear of arthropods is probably my most terrible - especially of spiders, scorpions and centipedes. Although I try to handle it rationally, I cannot get over it - I feel very uncomfortable even when I browse through a book about these animals and touch the pictures of them.

Another thing that is horrible for me is butter. It disgusts me so strongly that I cannot stand being in the same room with somebody who eats fx bread and butter - I must leave immediately, because I nearly vomit.

"Tosses a spider on jan"
Man I'm right there with ya on the spider thing! Those little fuckers freak me the fuck out! Have no idea why. Though I have found that the bigger they are the worse the fear is for me! Saw, I think it was Jeff Corwin pokin around a burrow of a goliath spider, and this thing lunged out of the hole...I jumped straight up and over the back of the couch screaming like a little bitch! God damn spider is like a foot across with fangs that are over an inch long! It eats birds for fuck sake...IT EATS BIRDS!!! :eek: that's just not right!

-Breaking bones and spraining ankles

youre afraid of spraining your ankle? ah, there is nothing to them. tear a tendon, then you will change this thought.
