  • Do you have any phobias?

    I have been thinking about this topic for the last couple of days. Now, you don't have to answer if you don't want to or share anything too personal that makes you uncomfortable, but I'm curious what people are afraid of. I find fears to be a very interesting thing - something that might scare one person to death does not bother somebody else. Are our fears unique to us? Where do they come from? So, what are you afraid of? I'll start. I am deathly afraid of heights. I do not do well at all in high places. My legs feel like rubber and my heart starts to beat a little faster. I am claustrophobic - even the thought of me being in a small confined space unable to move around would probably send me into a panic. I have a fear of being chased. I also hate spiders, but have no problem killing them. OK, your turn.

          Spiders. I dropped a brand new microfiber on the ground today while using UQD on my truck. I was working on the passender side door and the spider came out from behind the mirror on the door.

            Honestly...nothing. I can't think of anything that I'm afraid of. Not trying to be macho or anything like that. I've been in very high places. I use to drive a motorbike at 150 mph. Confined spaces do nothing to me. I don't know. maybe now that I am older (46) death comes to mind. Not afraid to die... more afraid it'll hurt!

              Ok, you guys are going to laugh at me at this one...but I have a crazy phobia of FISH yes fish, as in when I try to take my kids fishing and they get one, I almost freeze and cannot get close to it. I have been like this for as long as I can remember and It drives me nuts, I feel like the biggest wuss in the world but no matter what I do I cannot bring myself to touch a fish. Stupid eh. Also it appears as I have gotten older (38) I am afraid of heights. I didnt realize this until a couple of summers ago we took our sons to Disney in Forida and when I was just about to get on a roller coaster I damn near had a panic attack, and I used to love them when I was younger...weird how things change as you get older, I can definently say I no longer have more balls than brains, more like the other way around now.
              Great question by the way.

                Ok I got one. (my wife read the thread and reminded me of this). When we go camping in the mountains I am scared to death to go outside in the dark! You know when nature calls. Now I'm not afraid of the dark at home but man when we're out in the wilderness and it's pitch black....YIKES! Taking a leak in the darkness it always feels like something is lurking in the trees!

                  Confined spaces - worked in them for a few years. Okay then, not any more.

                  One breed of spider - the Black and Yellow Garden, also known as the Corn Spider.

                    Heights also...never was as a kid, but about 20-25 years old 'it' showed up.

                    Also flying...I thank the military for that one...after couple of 'incidents', the extra $55 a month wasn't worth it.
