Fears and Phobias

[Ako Si Jamie]

Do you have any fears/phobias?

I have a fear of heights. I'm OK in a plane but ask me to peer over the edge of a tall building and the fear kicks in. Not keen on crowds either but I can manage them for a short while. I suppose it's not a phobia as such, just a situation to avoid if possible.

If I was going to the beach, this would be my worst nightmare. :Help1:

I know of a friend who has a fear of clowns. Quite ironic really, seeing he supports Birmingham City FC! :icon_lol:

I don't like standing near the edge of high up things either....ever since walking off a cliff when I was 14.

Also hate crowds...and big spiders.

[KeithD]

I have a fear of getting a phobia :Erm:

[Terpe]

Here's a good one, Hippopoto- monstro- sesquippedaliophobia, a fear of long words :doh

[Terpe]

Like others I have a real fear of heights.
Can't stop imagining falling........
Been the same as long as I can remember.

[raynaputi]

I'm terrified of flying cockroaches. I don't have a problem with it walking/crawling on the floor and walls, but flying, I always scream when it does! :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

That unnerves me too Rayna. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

One thing I couldn't get used to for a long time after returning to this country....expecting to see one or two 3 inch Cockroaches waving their feelers at me when the light was put on in the middle of the night, or seeing that movement out of the corner of my eye. :cwm24:

I've not got any really - maybe heights if anything.

My neighbour is terrified of spiders. I said to him if there was 1 million quid in a packet at the end of your room and all you had to do was walk across the floor (except I had covered the floor in non poisonous spiders) could you get the money?

He was adamant there is no way on this earth even if it was £20,000,000 :yikes:

He said he would not be able to move!
I would do it if you included poisonous spiders :biggrin:

I am one day going to get a toy lifelike spider (Tarantula style) and fix it above his front door and chat to him and casually point it out :laugher:

Sorry, I can't help myself - it has to be done! :icon_lol:

The people are NOT actors. lol :biggrin:

Andy Murray was on the same flight as me!

[raynaputi]

Hahaha..my mum would always tell me and my sister off everytime she would hear both of us screaming and running/jumping upstairs because of flying cockroaches (they usually come out a lot before it rains!). She said it seems like someone's gonna kill us! :icon_lol:

[Michael Parnham]

Heights and crowds but love flying! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Heights give me the heebie jeebies, :freezin: also. Snakes, likewise!

Never keen on swings or roundabouts either :nono-1-1: ... as the mere thought of them was apt to trigger motion sickness :vomit-smiley-011: with me ... even as a small kid.

The phobia list is a long one and that includes people being scared of money, sex and beautiful women. :yikes:

It would scare me if it was overdone, medium rare with chips and a side salad ;)

Oh you're so cruel! :xxaction-smiley-047

[Tawi2]

I have a fear of pigs, not wild boar or anything, just those horrible domesticated pink ones that farmers keep :cwm24: I can feel my mouth drying up as I think of them :cwm24: I also don't like standing on cliff edges not because I have a fear of heights (as I don't!) but because I have an irrational urge to jump and fly. It's like something is pulling you over when you look down from a cliff - the upcurrent seems to want to lift and carry you..............................:anerikke:

[les_taxi]

My neighbour is so scared of spiders that I said to him, "if I put 1 million quid on top of your sideboard but covered the floor in thousands of harmless spiders, would you walk through them to get the money?" His reply was, no way could he do it! :yikes:

I would walk through tarantulas to get it. :icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

I ate a tarantula the other month, tasted rank! :vomit-smiley-011:

[les_taxi]

Did you order it off the web? :icon_lol:

[Ako Si Jamie]

It'll probably taste scrumptious compared to this. :icon_lol:

Never seen a cockroach in UK only Philippines also only ever seen about 4 or 5 rats in UK and they were on a river or canal and that was when I was about 10 or 11 years old never seen any since only in Philippines, Seen dozens and I was really shocked! :omg:

[Tawi2]

I remember eating rat in the very early 1990's in downtown Cebu. It was in a turo2 shack down near the docks and labelled as "Star" meat! :icon_lol: I haven't a rat phobia. They don't phase me - see them often in Pinas though.
