-I have a phobia of getting my fingers stuck in a 10 pin bowling ball, so much so that i avoid 10 pin bowling altogether. We go 5 pin glo-bowling and drinking twice a month though.
-I feel physically sick and get shudders when something dry and coarse (like a dusty shoelace....i feel sick even typing this..seriously) rubs through my hand, such as tightening laces and having your hands slip.....shudder.
-i used to be deathly clausterphobic, but i know just use mental will to calm myself and think logically. ( my friend locked me in a shed for hours when i was 5).
- I have a weird fear of people waving paper in my face because of a eye papercut.
uh.....i think there's more
Wow i just realized i have some pretty fucked up fears, obviously i had a traumatic childhood

- clausterphobic
- afraid of drowning to some extent
and i used to have the whole hand-washing OCD thing.
i'd wash my hands like 100+ times a day and even soak them in lysol and shit .. i was afraid of aids
i know tons of people that are afraid of drowning, it's weird but most people who are clausterphobic are scared of drowning. But i'm fine.
I guess because i've been swimming all my life and am now i lifeguard i don't really fear that i'm going to drown. But even if i did i know that i would just pass out and die in my sleep. It's pretty painless compared to most other deaths, and most death's arn't so sudden that you don't see them coming, so drowning isn't really that diffrent then the rest, you just realize your going to die, pass out and die painlessly. Better then realizing your going to die a painfull death by sickness or fall.

it's the whole ocean thing that gets me.
SO much water everywhere and there's really nothing you can do about it.
Plus there's the thought that you're so insignificantly small in comparison and no one will ever find your body or anything..
^:nod: I have a pretty big fear over that. I am scared what would happen, I may have a bonified breakdown.
I don't know if any of these count as real clinical phobias, but what the hell. I am so scared someone is gonna come in a room with a chalk board and run their finger nails down it. Oh man, it makes me want to hurl just thinking about it.
I'm pretty scared of heights too. I'm not afraid of flying though. One time we went to the Joseph Smith Building in Salt Lake, and the top floor is glass from floor to celing. My brother was leaning over and sticking his head on the glass, I was flipping out. Scares the crap out of me. Not to mention the time we went hiking in Zion National Park. It was amazing, but I practicallly carried my sisters from fear of them falling of the edge.
I have social phobia but it is getting better with medication and therapy that I have had in the past
When I was younger i had a horrible phobia of fire drills. It has to do with the fact that I have very sensitive hearing and the fire drill was SO loud at my school and I would get so scared because I never knew when it would go off. I would fight with my mom because I didn't want to go to school every September for the first 8 years of my schooling.
When I got to high school it was okay because the fire alarm wasn't so loud. I think I would still be terrified of fire drills if I had to work in a bulding with the alarm like the one at my grade school.
I used to have bad separation anxiety problems when my mom would go out during the night or I would go spend the night at a friend's house, but that is because I have had sleeping problems since I was a little kid and it wasn't the fact that my mom was gone that scared me, but rather the fact that I was terrified that I woudln't be able to fall asleep and I would be the only one awake.
HARDCORE!!!
OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?
I'm terrified of aliens. Its so incredibly irrational, but if i have nightmares with them in it, or see alien insignia, i freak out. I can't play any video games with aliens, or watch any movies.
I'm also very afraid of death of people close to me. It throws everything off balance.
I'm having some difficulty pinpointing my fears right now. Heh. I think a lot of them are really obscure and I don't realize I'm afraid of them until I actually experience them.

i'm terrified of people in mascot suits.
if they come near me, i just freak right out, and run the other way.
i would absolutely die if i were ever in disneyland.
- No one but me can touch my neck. I have this weird thing about anyone putting their hands there.
- Chickens are fuckin' scary. They used to chase me in the petting zoo, and ever since then, I am afraid to go near them when they are alive. Turkeys too.
- I don't like to look out of glass windows/doors at night because I am afraid that I will look over and someone will be staring at me. *shudder*
- Being trapped under the water. I'm a lifeguard now, so that somewhat combats the fear, but not entirely.
i used to be afraid of fires when i was really little. My mom had to plan out escape routes with me so i wouldn't be afraid to go to sleep.
I hate people spitting. Some people are disgusted by feet, but for me it's all to do with the mouth. I want to gag everytime someone does it.
I used to be physically not able to leave phone messages. They would scare me so much because they'd come on when you weren't expecting them and I wouldn't have time to remember what I wanted to say. Alot of the time now, I'll call someone, and if a answering machine or voicemail comes on, I'll hang up, think of something to say, and then call back. Traumatizing, I do say.
I'm not afraid of drowning, but I am afraid of the vastness of the ocean. Sometimes when you go down runs on the back side of Silver Star, you're actually above the clouds, and you can see them below you, extending as far as you can see. It looks exactly like the ocean, and it makes me want to break down and sob.
I used to not be able to look people in the eye when i was talking to them. I'd just look behind them, or in a different direction. I just couldn't do it, it was like I was talking into their iris, and I'd start to get all paranoid and couldn't keep talking. I didn't realize I was confusing or offending people for the longest time, until someone told me. Since then I've trained myself to look directly into someone's eyes when I'm talking to them. It took me almost two years, but I can do it okay now, except when I'm talking to two people. Then I can't do it to both of them, so I either stare at one of them, or look at the ground so I'm not only talking to one.
I also have this number thing where numbers have to in some way relate to 13, 31 or 4. I'm not as obssesive as I used to be, but if I have a choice, I'll always go for numbers that have to do with them.
