Phobias

spiders

Throwing up and dogs. I'm pretty scared of most animals, but am terrified of dogs.

I have acrophobia. I'm not sure these are phobias but I also don't like bugs or water.

Insects.
Poisons.
Crowds.
Strangers.

I hate throwing up. I guess I'm afraid of seeing mutilated bodies too.

Hmm, there are so many to select from.

Needles/Surgery/"sharp things"
Heights
Depths/the ocean/lakes
aquatic life
being bitten by spiders/leeches
I've been pregnant twice, and the idea of being a host or "inhabited" by another creature was enough to drive me insane if I let my mind wander in that direction....

that's enough for now.

People have already said a few of mine, but I actually went into shock once because a doctor advanced on me with a flu shot in his hand. That only made my phobia worse because I now know that that happened >.> Anything else that a doctor does is fine though, including surgery and a CAT scan; I've had the former twice. I don't mind as long as they don't screw up during surgery XD

I also dislike flying insects, but only when they're flying. Or any insect that's actually on me.

I also have a phobia of Metroids. Who doesn't after playing the Metroid Prime series? >.> I always have a feeling that they're gonna suddenly come out of my closet (which has a door leading to our attic in it) in the middle of the night and feast on me. *shudders*

i'm scared of home invasions (i.e when i'm sleeping or something), looking people in the eyes and there's one more thing but atm i can't for the life of me rmeber what it is, so i suppose i'm not that scared of it anyway

Mad scientists. I'm wary.

Dentist (yak)

Thats about my only phobia in the true sense of the word

seafood -- i feel like I'd be eating bugs

anything medical (operations, blood, missing parts) -- even just the concept. I have this thing about the wholeness of my body.

My father used to take pleasure in making me watch heart operations on PBS.

Rape
Pep Rallies
Death

operations

Bees, I don't like bees at all. (If a bee comes near me I run for it, thats ho bad it is! )

Sorry.

I've got the social anxiety thing, which I'm sure is pretty common here.
Crowded indoor spaces are especially scary. Especially if I don't know the people. Especially if they're drunk, 'cause that's a whole different phobia. So bars, nightclubs, parties and such are a huge oh-no-please-get-me-out-of-here. I really really really don't like being bumped into by people (especially if they're holding drinks) and I can't stand being talked to (or even breathed on) by people under the influence of alcohol and I don't like the feeling of knowing that I have to squeeze between a whole bunch of people if I want to get out. Breathing becomes difficult and I get this feeling like I have a large stone in my stomach and I just want to get out.
Oh, and I have a problem with taking my clothes off. Even if it's just the shirt, I tend to avoid it if I can. So that kind of rules out swimming and anything involving locker rooms.
Oh, and I'm not a huge fan of moths and other things that are larger than houseflies and flap around. Don't know if it's a phobia, but I dislike the thought of them flapping on me. So I crush them. Spiders are not a big problem, but I don't like the thought of them crawling on me either, so I crush those to. Birds flap around too, but I don't crush them. They usually don't come into my house, and I don't mind things flapping outdoors.
Oh, and the intimacy thing. But I'm sort of trying to get over that one step at a time.
I suppose at the core I have a problem with physical contact and not being alone, which is kind of unfortunate as loneliness is painful in a whole different way.
