Phobia's

[Metsuke]

What creeps you out?

I have issue with clowns and spiders. No I don't know why clowns creep me out, but they do. I would rather face a room full of ninja than stay in a room alone with a clown. I never had a clown do anything to me, or anyone I know so yes I know it's irrational. At least I have a reason to hate spiders, a brown recluse messed me up. Those creepy little bass-turds demand respect, but the clowns I can get a handle on. I mean I wouldn't run screaming from if one walked in or anything (well maybe if it was dark, probably scream all the way to the bedroom and the gun) I just get a knot in my gut whenever I'm around one.
Anyone else have any weird phobia's they can't get a handle on?

I saw a movie a long time ago when I was 8-9 years old called 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' and ever since I have a fear of eating tomatoes.

Haha, just kidding. I can eat tomatoes but I don't like to eat them straight out. It's ok in a hamburger or on pizza. But that is the excuse I use when people ask me why I don't eat alot of tomatoes.

That's wierd I actually know a lot of people who thinks clowns are scary...I wonder why that is...it doesn't seem like they should be but yet there is something rather unsettling about them.

And I hate spiders too, if I see one in my room I won't be able to sleep right for a week.

Well, I have a fear of heights, so going to amusement parks isnt very amusing. I also have abandonment issues. I fear being alone.
I also find clowns unsettling. They're freakishly happy, which leads you to believe that under the creepily happy exterior there is something dark hidden that's capable of horrible things.
But I may just be a basket case ^__^ stick me in a crazy bucket and call it a day ^_^

[stephanie dee]

Open heights. Just thinking about a bungee jump makes my hair stand on end.

People touching the veins on my wrist. That creeps me out, I just don't like it!!

[Kitsune]

Heights and planes... I hate them and fear them both...

I think planes are coffins with wings. Can't help getting histerical everytime I fly.

My wife is having uncontrolled freak outs against catapillars.
Myself, I think they are cute.
Even to see a photo or saying the word makes her scream.
I really worry sometimes about her mental condition conderning this.

If you dislike spider, Japan is not a good place to live.
About spider, some Japanese people are thinking they are house kami, and bringing good fortune.
I agree with this idea very much.
To a point.
I dislike poison spiders.

I have housekeeper spiders, and daddy long legs in my house and I don't mind them, they don't bite. I like the little wolf spiders we have here in Florida, they look like mini tarantulas, so cute. Funny thing from what I understand daddy long legs are the most poisonous spiders on earth, but their mandibles are too short to break our skin, cool and spooky at once.

Gomen!
I am not certain, however I am thinking this may be an urban mythos?

[GoldenShinai]

I have the weirdest one of all. I have an irrational fear of cereal. Yes. Cereal. Like, cheerios scare the crap out of me. Especially with milk. Oh god.

Clowns scare me to death as well.

I'm afraid of spiders, but strangely enough I would like to see one or two in the apartment. I would probably give the the vacuum-cleaning treatment :nervous: but as they are a sign of a healthy house it would be nice to have seen them. I'm always worrying about mould. :gasmask:

Oh, and I was also told by a friend that a person on average swallows 3 spiders during their life. This supposedly happens when we are asleep and they are climbing our faces. :scared:

[Neil Gendzwill]

I have a fear of improper punctuation. I don't know why I'm in this thread, the title scares me.

[Kitsune]

Sounds like a restaurant name here in Chile, we use that 's everywhere! Never come here you'll get mad

[mingshi]

Anything with a Hello Kitty head on it - especially the pink ones. Aaaaaarrrrhhhhh~~~!!!

(I got real cats at home, and last time I check, they have mouths.)

[bobdonny]

I have no fear ;)

[Kenzan]

I have no fear ;)

I read once( I forgot which author)

Ignoble people has no fear of dishonor,
Smart people have no fear for livelihood,
People who have mastered control of the senses have no fear from any objects and are above influence.
The person who has accomplished their purpose in life has no fear of death and are beyond intimidation.



I am afraid of boiled DimSum Chicken feet......
LOL

[bobdonny]

The person who has accomplished their purpose in life ...

Yep thats me.... ROFL :laugh:

[yojimbo 13]

i am afraid of snakes
they got no legs people, NO FREAKIN LEGS!

[Alison2805]

I hate, absolutely HATE it, when anyone pokes a finger in my bellybutton..

I dont know why guys always want to do that, but..hang on, yes I do.

Anyhow, I cant stand it. Sends me off my tree.

[Mukdo_Centered]

maybe because you tell everyone why it bothers you so much ^_^ I'd probably do it just to watch you freak out ^_^.

P.S. Not all of us guys think like that.

Yes, I've also heard that, but not only spiders, we also eat flies, etc... :dead:

I also don't like spiders, but it's not a phobia. Just last night I had to kill one. It was so daring as to walk into our living room, it was quite a big one. I finally threw the telephone book on top of it... :nervous: First I thought our dog would take care of it, but she just watched my attempts at trapping the spider in a box. You see, I really only wanted to catch it at first, but it ran away... Bad luck. :tongue: And I wasn't comfortable with such a large spider in our house, didn't want it to climb in my bed... :nervous:

Apart from that I don't particularly like snakes, luckily there aren't any bigger snakes in Germany.

Otherwise, height is sometimes a problem, depends on the situation.

So, just the normal stuff, I guess, nothing serious.

P.S.: Clowns are spooky...

[emitbrownne]

mine :: zombies

My girlfriend -- this is weird so bear with it.
The inside of Bell peppers. Y'know the bits where the seeds cluster together. Sometimes she cant look at them, other times she must smash them.

I thought I was bad.

Dear internet>> please dont let my Girl-friend find out that I told anyone, otherwise she will kill me.

[xvikingx]

Naniwa drivers. Better yet naniwa taxi drivers:dead:

[KhawMengLee]

Hahahaha - sure you dont! Its a subconsious, "must stick things in things" thing that all guys have to some extent. But yeah, as soon as someone knows I hate it, theyll do it.

Ace, dont you dare.

[Lounge]

I fear ninjas... they're after me I can sense them... must stay alert!!!!

Oh yeah.. and needles hate the bloody things... I skipped school the day of the TB jab... only to get dragged to the hospital... :(
