Do You Have A Phobia ? - Page 3

I am claustrophic and belonephobic (fear of needles or sharp objects impaling skin). I am all right with small spaces as long as I am not trapped, and I can see a way out of it. If I have to walk in a small closet, I'm fine as long as I am not physically unable to leave.

Needles I have always been scared of. It's the idea of something poking into flesh that makes me shudder..as I just did writing this. It has nothing to do with me being unable to handle gore, but that alone. I have to hold somebody's hand and close my eyes and literally be praying when I have to get a shot.

Phobia Have Do

Just aracnophobia and that one about heights and chemistry. I'm kidding. About the heights. Chemistry is disturbing, alchemy is better.

Do You Have A Phobia ? Health & Special Psychology

I can't stand small spaces or crowds, when I get into a crowd and people start jostling me and someone always smells like they haven't bathed in a week or so, I start to get nauseated It is so bad that I can't go to the club, the mall or even the grocery store during the day; which is great because I work from 11 at night to 7 in the morning, I just do my shopping at the 24 hour stores down the street.

I also hate stupid people, stupid people are people who have no regard for anyone else at all. People who are ignorant and malicious, people who cause problems then expect other people to clean up their mess. Note, there is a difference between stupid people and people who are just dumb. Someone who is dumb just doesn't know better and deserves pity, but a stupid person will cause me trouble then get mad when he finds himself in the same predicament he put me in. Then gets even madder when I won't help him out.

Page 3 Phobia Have Do

Um... I read over the thing and saw many people fearing spiders and enclosed spaces, which I don't - I managed to get over the latter apparently and never really had the first one (just stomped them to death). I guess I have something about death but think that's pretty natural.

Sure, I'm afraid of heights, it makes me feel dizzy, but the thing I'm most afraid of is ghosts and mirrors. I've never seen any ghosts but I fear they'll pop up at any moment, and am afraid even several people are around to assure me (thinking like, "What if they turn around with eyes bleeding?"). As for the mirrors... to be exact, I'm afraid of my own reflection. Probably associated with the previous one - it just seems like another individual is staring at me through a thin glass. At me. It sorta freaks me out, though I'm getting better now.

Phobia Have Do

I find that most of the things I'm scared of, I'm also fascinated by.

I have a fear of spiders, a fear of being out over large expanses of water, as in no land in sight, and a fear of heights. Whenever a spider crawls across the floor at my house I jump, but also watch it as its legs work in harmony. WHen I was on a short day cruise, I Kept looking over the horizon, freaked out but it was beautiful, and heights just freak me out, but I love the view.

Do You Have A Phobia ?

I have a mild phobia of heights, but that is about it.

Growing up in a country with most of the world's deadliest spiders, snakes and water creatures, I have no fear whatsoever of anything animal related. In fact we have several large, hairy spiders living in my house. They really are quite good at keeping the bugs at bay.

I can't say I have any real strong phobias, more like mild and slight ones. I have a mild fear of heights, anytime I get higher than four stories I get antsy and scared but I can still do it. Anytime I get around a very large crowd I get irritated, not scared, because there is to much going on for me to be able to control. Also if I am in a small space for to long I start to panic.

I have social phobia and life can be interesting with it. The one thing that is helping me deal with it is my daughter. I have to take her out so she can socialise but every time we go out (even just across the road) I feel sick, have a panic attack, go dizzy you name it. I was given anti depressants for it but stopped them as they were doing nothing for me (well they took the edge off things) and I had counselling which basically involved someone telling me to "just get out there and you'll see how silly it is" and the like.
On a lighter note I also have a minor problem with umbrellas.
