I brought this subject up on another message board I go to, and was curious as to the phobias of my fellow Cat Site friends. My phobias are....
1. Needles. I absolutely HATE getting shots. I have actually avoided a lot of things just because I won't get the required injections in order to do them. And it has nothing to do with pain...in fact, I'd rather be in pain than get a shot. The only time I was ok with it was a couple of months ago when I had four teeth pulled and then replaced. I went to a new dentist who first gave me so much nitrious I thought that everything he said was funny, then whiped this minty stuff in my mouth that numbed me so much my eyes watered, then gave me a total of 5 shots...but by then I was so loopy I didn't care. I am supposed to go to Thailand in a year to do a few weeks of volunteer work, but if I have to get any immunizations before I go then I won't be able to go.
2. The Dark. I know that seems childish, but you didn't grow up in my house.
3. Being buried alive. I have asthma and a heart murmur, so breathing can sometimes be a chore. I am always afraid that I'll get trapped somewhere and there won't be any air.
4. Fire/being burned alive. I won't even light matches or lighters. Can you imagine the pain of someone who died in a house fire???
Also, this isn't really a phobia, since if I had to do it I could, but ever since Aaliyah died (Im a HUGE fan) and then Sept 11 happend less then a month later I have not been able to fly. The main reason is because no one really knows what caused Aaliyah's plane to crash. It is the unknown thing that bothers me. I'll have to fly when I go to Thailand though. I just wish we really knew what happend to her.
