You could be me. People find my bridge fear irrational, but I have major problems driving over ones when i can't see the end (ie. if they're really long or curved). I've been known to turn around and find another route if I come across one like that. I also have the occasional terrifying dream about briges.Originally Posted by Ping
I have 2 and neither is listed. One is bridges. I so afraid of them. I have bad anxiety attacks if I have to go over them....
The other is water. And specifically anything above the waist.
And water just freaks me out. I can "sort of" swim, but it terrifies me if there's nothing solid under my feet. So anything too deep is out.
I voted for spiders, because they're just awful little critters. The first week I was living alone this GIANT spider came into my apartment, skittering across the floor. I thought I would die. I locked myself in my room and put a towel under the door so he couldn't get in and scare me. Luckily I think he was just passing through because I've never seen him since.
I'm also scared of large groups of people, and situations where I have to deal with people I don't know. I've gone shopping and had to leave because I can't deal with having to interact with the salespeople. The funny part is that I'm a very social person, but it's hard for me to deal with meeting new people or large groups.
And eating in front of people. Which is a pretty awkward problem but I've never found a way to deal with it.
So yes, I have many phobias!
