Phobias, strange fears.

Post Reply New Topic

I have always had, still have, an absolute horror for buttons. Zips have been for me a liberation.
When I was a child I feared much meteorites and abysses opening of a sudden in the earth. I didn’t have much fear of physical dangers, nor of germs, lightnings or animals of any size.

The colour green. >.>

is there a phobia for a ton weight falling on you?

I'm scared of escalotors. I'll ride them now, but as a kid i refused and had to take either stairs or an elevator.

I have a phobia of stairs with open treads. Otherwise my phobias are several, but common.

stairs... especially winding stairs.
& clowns!! !
I am absolutely terrified of clowns.

As a kid, I had a phobia of chandeliers. Whenever I saw a chandelier, I would freeze up and stare at it with a tense, panicked look in my eyes. The worst fear was of the one in my childhood apartment. I think it caused to me to fear most chandeliers, unless it had a very simple design (no metal parts, no exposed light bulbs, and no branching elements). Ceiling fans, on the other hand, were no problem at all, regardless of their design.

Phobia and/or fear of relaxing and claming down, lieing on back, social workers, psychiatrists, conselors, a.k.a. anybody of the mental health profession, people in general, death!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

heights.

I have a fear of cars. I might as well admit it to myself; I drive, but I really don't like to. You can't trust 'em. There's a million things that can break or fall off that will cost you a week's salary or get you killed. They require too much metal for the act of transporting (usually) one person. And when you're driving down a busy, narrow street, all it takes is one counterclockwise half turn of the steering wheel to experience a very gruesome death.

I don't fear anything.

Men, and making telephone calls

Dogs and telephones, mostly. I used to be a bit scared of cats but I got over that one.

Public restrooms. Yuck!

Fear of structural failure. It is not usually the height per se that afears me, it is the rear that that bolt - the one right there carryihng the load is corroded or loaded with dislocations and that it will fail catastrophically.
