I'm really afraid of getting stung by some kind of insect... which is weird cuz needles don't bother me... and this is some kind of fear I've developed in the past couple years...

I'm also afraid of walls of water... like in Titanic there is a scene where water just crashes and washes over the camera... I couldn't watch the movie because of that... the idea of it just scares the bejeesus out of me!!!!

An ex of mine was afraid of monkeys, not big gorillas, mind you, the little ones. I teased him mercilessly about it. They can be kinda creepy though, I dont' like that noises they make.

I am afraid of insects they are DISGUSTING and Pigeons are on my list too.
They like to nest on my neighbor's back door that opens out onto the landing that we share. You have to walk out there to get to the laundry area and more than once I opened the door to the laundry and one came flying out at me == shivers== YUCKY rats with wings.

I'm terrified of heights and - don't laugh - standard poodles. OMGWTFBBQ THEY ARE SO FREAKY.

Heights and mice.

I'm not really scared of objects or animals, but I'm terrified of failure.

Oh....and those friggin' weird bird-monkeys from the Wizard of Oz...

I am terrified of snakes. I don't trust anything on dry land that does not naturally have appendages to move with. Come to think of it, eels scare the daylights out of me too.

Needles (I scream and hyperventilate), rodents, snakes, deep water, big assed bridges over deep water (ie Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel), disgusting insects (roaches and palmetto bugs), horror flicks, sharks (hell, with the recent news...who wouldn't be?)

I am scared of thrill rides (ie roller coasters) but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them...
I never met a coaster I didn't like (unless it was a wussy one)
Sistermadly knows I can holler with the best of them!

SigmaChiCard · #23 07-06-2005, 01:10 PM

snakes...i hate them i hate them i hate them
spiders...not as much anymore...but arachnaphobia gave me the phobia
crazy clowns...just a little bit...if it weren't for Stephen King's "IT" or Amsterdam where I was experiencing Amsterdam life when after midnight I was walking along a deserted alleyway when a clown on Stilts came running by

#24 07-06-2005, 01:12 PM

i am afraid of roaches, mice, rats, frogs, snakes, scary movies, spiders, spider webs, aliens and just about anything that crawls

I am terrified of knives. I hate using anything larger than a steak knife. I'm also afraid of dogs. I got attacked last summer by one, and ever since then, I just get so scared around them.

That, and as much as I love roller coasters, I'm scared to death I'm going to get stuck on one.

I'm scared of white people.

I dont' know why but they just kinda freak me out.

Thats also one of my fears, especially on those island like platforms. I always stand with my back against something, like a post or the wall. You always hear about the guy/girl off their meds or something who pushes someone in front of a train.

And I'm scared of robots. As an undergrad, the school always got this robot called punchy or something that someone in a corner was controling to talk and follow you around or whatever. I was PETRIFIED of that thing; we had our greek tables set up one day and as Panhel VP Recruitment, I was over talking to the Tri Sigmas. The robot came by and I JUMPED behind their table, knocking over some crafts in the process, and ducked behind their table. I was seriously on the verge of a panic attack. It was bad news.

Oh yeah, can't forget bridges. They freak me out too.

WCUgirl · #28 07-06-2005, 02:36 PM

That they're all going to laugh at me.

Okay, that's my Adam Sandler joke for the day.

My real list of fears is:

*Bees, wasps, spiders, snakes and scorpions. Okay, pretty much all ugly bugs (let's face it -- lady bugs and roly polys are cute!).
*Not necessarily heights, but being near a ledge or an edge if it's high up.
*Failure
*Needles, anything medical-related really.
*Lakes
*Uncooked chicken. Yes -- I am scared to death I'm going to get salmonella and that will cause appendicitis.
*Suffocation. I won't let anyone put anything near my face.
*Drowning. I'm scared to death that my car is going to go off the road into a large pond or body of water and I'm not going to be able to get out.
*Flying
*Elevators. I'm a bit claustrophobic, and it took me years before I finally started riding them, but only if I'm going to like the 30th floor or something unreasonable for walking.

Yes, I'm paranoid. Ask my husband.

I know I'm missing some.

UKTriDelt · #29 07-06-2005, 03:01 PM

Being ANYwhere in the dark by myself. I can't sleep with a light on, but if someone else isn't in the house with me, I get freaked out.

Walking in bodies of water. I love to be IN water, but I hate walking out into the ocean and refuse to do it in lakes or ponds. The fact that I can't see what I'm standing on and it might be a crab or slimy thing is just too much for me. I don't like pool bottoms either (even my own), because bugs or dirt or Band-aids might be on the bottom. uck

Don't laugh, but I'm deathly afraid of being buried alive. I know that the probability is low, but still...I'm not being buried when I die, I want a nice casket in a mauselium or something, but I'm not going underground and I'm not being burned to death, just in case I'm still kicking and somebody missed my pulse.
