phobias

[sochi]

any one wanna tell me if they have any weird fears or phobias

[MG]

Dogs and cats! how the heck can i get rid of this???

[tigga]

I havent but i once went out with a girl who was terrified of fancy dress costumes and masks- even santa in the precinct ? ! ? ! And another who wouldnt look at a face through a window, not even mine or her mums or dads !? !? I guess i just pick mad ones though !

[splodge24]

i have a real fear of the sea. i have panick attacks when flying over the sea or even walking by it. i go really dizzy, feel sick and start getting all sweaty. it seems to be getting worse as i am getting older.

I have answered this one before, but I am happy to do so again. Dummies - the ventriloquist kind, not babies' soothers! Watch the portmanteau horror film 'Dead Of Night' - you'll see why. I saw it when I was about nine.

[enigma]

Clowns. They really give me the heebie jeebies ! Who knows what is really lurking behind that painted smile or even in their extraordinarily large shoes. Maybe they don't even have normal feet lol ! They are just so creepy and so unfunny. Have you ever seen the spielberg film 'It' about the clown ? I rest my case. Ps Do you wanna balloon ? We all float down here. Gave me nightmares for weeks ! Moral of the story , never mind not talking to strangers , don't accept balloons from painted men with big feet !!!

cotton wool and cornfloor. Its all in the squeak!

[enigma]

I meant of course to say Stephen King in my reference to the film 'It'. Hubby interrupted me with a question about Spielberg and I typed that in error. Oops !

[Yinzer]

I always freeze up when a plane flies overhead. Have done it all my life, even before all this terrorism...

[zgma]

Not so weird, I suppose, but... I'm afraid of criticism. It makes me feel terrible. I get really defensive. I'm a perfectionist, and that sort of goes along with the territory.

[Scarlett]

THere is a theory that our weird fears and phobias are due to our past lives! My sister has a real fear of stairs! When she was little she took about an hour to walk down a flight of stairs. I have a phobia of driving! Maybe that was how we died in our previous lives?! Otherwise how can we explain it?

[Donkey]

in that case scarlett i must have been eaten by a spider a great height.

[amarillis]

I can't stand marionette dolls, and those small monkeys. Does this mean I was attacked by a monkey with strings attached to its arms in a past life?

[georgit79]

I'm absolutely petrified of pigeons. I can't walk anywhere near them, and if one or more fly over my head or in close proximity to me, I actually scream. A real, belting, very loud scream. I can't help it, it's awful.

[georgit79]

I'm not vaguely scared of normal things, like spiders or snakes or even sharks. Once on a boating trip in the Atlantic, a shark was spotted snooping around near the boat, so I dove right in! I can't explain that either..

[pompey]

call me weird, i have a phobia of germs. Its weird cos i have to wash my hands or someing certain ammont of times, and i dont being near poo or that,i know thats kinda weird, lol

[Ember]

I hate snakes. Even seeing them on tv or magazines turns me to jelly. I know they are not slimy, its more the shape of their heads that gets me and their cold cold eyes. UGH, UGH and UGH again.

[Robinia]

I've always really disliked sky-scraper type buildings, but have never needed to go inside one. Just looking at one sometimes makes me panicky & want to cry. My mum died a few hrs before the 9/11 horror & I've wondered whether it was a phobia or a warning.

[georgit79]

Speaking of my pigeon phobia, I was driving to work this morning and had to stop the car and do some heavy breathing as I nearly ran over one. You might think that would make me feel better, but no. Rats with wings.

[amarillis]

georgit79 you sound just like my friend - she has had a phobia of pigeons for years, and has always referred to them as rats with wings! I've never been able to think of them as anything else!

[FP]

HOSPITALS, Gollyw0gs, Masks and fancy dress constumes. Especially those people in masks at Carnivals that walk on stilts. It's just something about motionless faces. Oh, and I really hate pictures or dolls that have human bodies and animal faces, i.e. Rupert Bear!
