Do you have any PHOBIAS?!?!

lol jenny!

well after living in australia spiders arent that bad unless they are big, but as i havent seen them in a while i get freaky of even flies!
I have a phobia of snakes, and i cant stant past the 3rd step of a ladder as i get all shaky and scared.

I am scared to death of roaches, lizzards and snakes!
I once broke my arm trying to get away from a raoch!

I'm also scared of "ugly"bugs such as stinkbugs but like ladybugs.

I am soooo afraid of spiders!!!!
I cower on anything away from it and cry and hyperventalate and scream. I have to call my boyfriend to come kill it. The sad thing is my kitten, Limerick is scared of them too!!! I think he sees how I react to the spider and takes his cues from me.

I'm afraid of creepy crawlies in general. Especially big, black spiders. Though my dad grew up in Australia and had interesting spider stories. Yuck!

Also, I'm scared of swimming in open waters (lake, etc.), though I'm okay boating or canoeing (except when there are spiders on board!). Seeing a huge dock spider while paddling in the middle of a lake is NOT good!

Ocean waves
Heights
Crowds in small spaces

Mostley anything that stings, if it gets on me I will come out of my clothes to, and I don't think it would matter who was there or where I am. Also SNAKES and the ocean SHARKS, yuk and heights, rides, I like Hope think thats enough, because I could go on lol lol

This may sound dumb, but I am afraid of the dark and being in a room alone, when its dark...even with all the lights on?!

At least I made it through the week with my brain semi-intact!!


I'm afraid of:
Fire (I don't even like lit candles!)
Deep water (I can't swim)
Bees or anything that stings!

Going out of the house
Being around people
Crowds of people
Waiting in a line of people
Having to deal with people
and I aint to fond of bugs either

Oh and I almost forgot.. since the car wreck, I can not stand riding in a car because of the traffic.

The hardest place to get up and speak, I think, is in front of a drama class. My god, those people critique EVERYTHING you do/say/don't do/don't say. I should know, I am a former drama student hehehe

I am in my 2nd speech class for college, and it is not really a big deal for me because I know that the people in my class could NOT care less about me. They are all waiting for the clock to say it's time to go.

My wife teases me about this all the time....but I'm wicked afraid of BUGS! I'm a 5'10 225 pound guy who is deathly afraid of bugs. I've actually had to call HER into the room to kill them!

Hello, Are you ME?! hahaha Well, I am not afraid of deep water... but I am TERRIFIED of fire... I totally overreact to even the slightest smokey smell, even if I imagined it (this happens a lot as I live in an apt complex where some apts have fireplaces). I run away from anything that might sting me. That whole "leave it alone" thing is BS! I got stung when I was a kid...all I was doing was playing Barbies outside and BZZZZZZT.. &^@#!!!!! I am a nanny... you can see how fun warm weather is for me....

Also, I have a huuuuge fear of being trapped. I avoid elevators a lot because I'm afraid the doors will never open again (this changed when I moved to college and lived 9823432 flights up and I'm too out of shape for even 3 flights of stairs... which is sad because I once climbed from the first to the ELEVENTH floor at the hospital Mom use to work at). Once I was at some posh after-show party (with The Used) at a bar... and the bathrooms were actually not in the bar, but in the offices behind the bar. You had to go out the door, then up a couple floors to the bathroom. I rode up the elevator with some people, but I was the last one out and decided to take the stairs back down cause I just couldnt handle the elevator alone. BAD CHOICE. The doors were all locked... I ran around and around and around and up and down and up and down and nearly passed out... and I didn't have stupid cell phone service, of course. I eventually found a door, but my GOD hello unsafe much!?!?!

Biggest Phobia - Losing a member of my family

Second Biggest - Cockroaches

I've been bitten a few times by spiders, usually when turning on lightswitches in my basement. Now I can't even be in the same room with one. Mom even says I have a particular scream that I only use for spiders. She knows to grab a shoe before she comes running.

My other fear, and it's completely unfounded, is of men. I'm terrified of my neighbors, and my friend's dads, the people my mom works with, and even my own uncle. As far as I know, nothing has every happened in my life to make me feel this way, but I can't shake it. It's even starting to happen when I'm around ANY male. I just start getting the "fight or flight" response. It's one of the reasons I hate going down on campus, because most of the people in my class and most of the professors are male. Thankfully, it's all women at work, and at the shelter, and I just live with my mom. But... yeah.

spiders are defiantly my main one but I also hate buttons the smaller the button the worst it becomes I just cant stand them.

I think I am scard of spiders until I see a snake!!!

Snacks total edrenaline rush. First date with my wife and we run across a couple of snakes. Did a snake dance. Don't think the two snakes were that while about us either.
