A room full of NTs...

jack, afraid of fighting? no way!




just had to get that father ted quote out there couldn't help it

I have a fear of money and all financial things. I also have some school-related phobias that I can't describe concisely.

Caterpillars.

To the extent that I hallucinate giant caterpillars when I am afraid.

When I was at my psychotic worst a whole group of them burst out from the wall behind the computer and persued me, screaming, into my room where they proceeded to smother me. I opened my mouth and one of them lodged itself in my throat.

Lol, I forgot about that! It's been way too long since I last saw that show, I need to get it on DVD.

my lovely horse is the best

i have a lot of odd phobias, but i'm not sure what they'd be called... i've never heard of anyone else having them

I don't know what the phobias are called, but I'm afraid of:

-Pain
-Death
-Things that cause pain and/or death
-The Dark
-Criticism

Fear of buerocracy and the government

Currently:
Acrophobia
Mild Pyrophobia.

Previously:
Anthrophophobia (Fear of people)
And a fear of getting sick.

I was a weird kid. Afraid of humans and stuff.

Needles. Fricken doctors and their needles, the bast... Ahem.. Sorry. Can't watch anyone get a shot on tv either.

And I guess police officers, but not sure if that counts. When I get pulled over I start shaking.

Fear of spiders is my only "normal" phobia.

I also have:
Fear of biting metal forks
Fear of decapitation
Fear of Abraham Lincoln
Fear of tiled rooms (floors I can tolerate, but tiles up the wall make me very afraid)

What??

I never had that fear, until a bit a metal fork and it chipped my front tooth. (I feel so stupid ) Ever since then I have been careful around forks, though I don't think that qualifies as a phobia.

As or actual phobias, I have a fear and disgust of miniature things. Not small things, I am not microphobic, I have a fear of miniature things. (Weird, I know, but my friends find it hilarious.) I haven't found an actual name for it though. For example, I like horses, but I deplore miniature horses. They are disgusting creatures, and I could care less if the species was wiped off the face of the Earth. The sad thing is that I am serious... (Though I wouldn't want it done in a gruesome way) Though it doesn't stay consistent, for example, I am fine with a hot wheels car, (a miniature car) but if you give me a much smaller toy car, I don't even want to touch it. It is irrational and embarrassing, but that is part of phobias.

Hydrophobia - fear of water
Claustrophobia - fear of confined spaces
Emetophobia - fear of vomiting
Gephyrophobia - fear of bridges
Nyctophobia - fear of darkness
Taphophobia - fear of the grave, or fear of being placed in a grave while still alive. Which is why I'm getting cremated. =0
Entomophobia - fear of insects



Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia — fear of the number 666

^That word just looks awesome.

Heights
Spiders
Needles
Blood

One of my roommates does the same thing! I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him one time...with a moth in the room...he's otherwise a "macho" man, so it's a hoot to watch.
