KILL IT NOW / GET IT AWAY FROM ME

[shaymin]

What phobias do you have? For those of you who don't know, here's a list (http://psychology.about.com/od/phobias/a/phobialist.htm) of phobias you can check out~!

[Apollo]

I have Cyberphobia xD

In all seriousness, I don't really have any phobias, I'm just scared of huge roller coaster rides with the huge drops. From a young age I was frightened of them and going to Theme Parks wasn't as fun for me compared to the rest of my family.

Blood, needles, hospitals and anything to do with medical stuff.

... and seaweed. :x

[Corey]

Snakes. I hate snakes. I'll scream and run away.

[Sheep]

Heights, public speaking, and to an extent bugs and fire. Pretty common and boring, ahah. xD;

[SassySnivy]

If I'm scared of anything, it's being suspended at a very high altitude. It can be a bit freaky for me, i.e. the rides at amusement parks that take you up 200 feet and then drop you down really quickly. It's just that suspense, it kills me.

I used to be afraid of speaking in public...I still get a little nervous, but it doesn't really faze me that much anymore.
Certain bugs freak me out, too. You know those blasted house centipedes? Those things scare the holy bajeebus out of me.

A lot of people I know, especially my mother, are afraid of snakes. So long as the snake it tame, non-venomous, non-lethal, and non-aggressive, I love the slithering little guys. I find them cute...like those ball python pet snakes, or corn snakes? They're so adorable! <3

Don't feel bad, public speaking is generally feared even more than death. As for those house centipedes, yeah, we get plenty of those. They're somewhat big compared to most household bugs, but don't kill them, they actually good at removing other bug pests in the house.

As for my fears, I hate broken glass. I really don't like even getting near it. The thought of getting cut by it and having jagged shards break off and then get stuck in my body is pretty unsettling. And yeah, that part in Die Hard did make me cringe a bit. Why John Mcclane didn't just put his shoes back on, I'll never understand.

Arachnophobia - because spiders are just FRICKIN' TERRIFYING WHAT?!

But in all seriousness, their legs, their whole design, the eyes, the pincers and mainly HOW THEY MOVE is just horrible for me. It's around the right time of the year where I begin to get paranoid and look around the room carefully.

Well spiders creep me out, and there are a lot of things that I would be wary of, but my top two have to be:

-heights, for obvious reasons, and
-the dentist. Don't judge me. I flip out when I go in there and smell tooth dust from the drills and ugh the pain. I HATE the dentist.

As much as I love amusement parks and rollercoasters, I kinda have this fear of heights. I mean like, if it's just the rollercoaster zooming up and down again, I'm cool with that. And if I'm on an airplane, I'm cool with that, too. What really freaks me out are those rides that suspend you in mid-air at such high altitudes (or even if they move you around, but keep you high up anyway) and then suddenly drop you back down. It's really the tension, as you're up there, y'know? But there is this one ride we have during our school's Christmas Mini-Fair that I've grown to really love and enjoy despite being high up in the air and twisting and turning. It just takes a little getting used to, I guess.

Another thing (and you're gonna laugh at me for this), is the fear of not being able to live up to expectations. It's like when someone trusts me to do something all the more I get sortof scared of doing it/not being able to do it because someone's placed their faith in me to accomplish something and, like, if I don't succeed, I thinkmof it as very embarrassing indeed. Especially when all these teachers/older people encourage me and tell me they believe in me, I just get pressured even more, and I can't help but worry about failing, of not being up to standard.

[Palamon]

I'm afraid of:

Ovens.
Stove tops.
Kilns.
Sudden fires.

Anything that has to do with heat, basically. T_T

[Bulbasaur]

I guess heights are my main phobia. I kinda freak out around bees, but not too much.

[Fizz]

Spiders scare the crap out of me, especially tarantulas. I'm also afraid - I guess? - of public speaking, I guess that's a phobia too.
