I do not know if this is a phobia but... I cannot stand the ants... for most people they are just small innoscent insects but, for me, maybe the fact that they can form clever societies makes me have something...
-
Fear of ants is mymecophobia

I have a morbid fear of senior citizens. I'm not cracking wise here, I'm serious. They freak me out. -
Being buried alive.-
how about buried alive with a senior...freak me out
-
-
I don't like needles (hypodermic).
They really creep me out.
-
I fear of not serving my purpose in life.-
some people cannot even define their purpose in life so, you are already half way there
-
it comes from marriage, as Socrates was said to say,
"By all means, marry. If you find a good wife, you will be happy. If not, then you will become a philosopher." -
What's the use of philosophy if it cannot help you find a good wife. Stupid Socrates

you make it sound like its normal to have several phobias-
could be but, in engineering, the worst can be the less good
-
???

what I say is that I do not necessarily mean that it is normal to have several phobias. But, if you have, what's the worst one

I have a weird fear of kids. I don't know why kids like me soo much, but they swarm around me like candy and want to play games. It freaks me out, I do try to stay calm and end up giving in. Recently I gathered up the courage to ask my little cousin why kids like me soo much, he said it was because I talk to them like adults. So, I figured next time Im going to turn the tables on those little pest and talk to them like they are kids and try to scare them with time outs. And the next time a kid starts to approach me while in the waiting lounge or in a store I'm going to give their parents the uncomfortable face and hope they get their kids away from me. -
My fear is dying. I just wish I didn't have to do it. On the other hand
though I'll be going to a better place. What scares me is the exact precisise moment that we die. I am just scared of how it feels.
Anyway death is a part of life. I mean your gonna find out weather u like
it or not. I just wish I knew what to expect.-
Dying itself doesn't feel so bad. In fact it's quite peaceful. But getting there is so nerve-racking, we don't begin to see it...especially if there's a lot of suffering on the way.

How do u know that lynn? I mean I know I don't wanna go out of this world
by a serial killer,cancer,car wreck or whatever. What I'm talking about is
the precise moment we go. I fear that.
I lost 2 people over this past year. One of them (my granny) I had to make the choice of "pulling the Plug". All of her organs were failing except for her brain. I could see the fear in her eyes. I am scared of that.
I am not trying to make this sound all mushy mushy either. I really don't fear anything except for the precise moment you are leaving ur body.
Do you get what I'm saying.-
I know, having been near to death before. I even know the Angel of Death by name.
-
I'm scared of you Lynn
-
So are half the guys I've dated.
-
-
Drowning, buried alive or knowing when I'm going to die. Yea that would drive me completely insane.-
yeah... sometimes when I hear about accidents I can't help but thinking of what people suffered in conditions like the ones you describe.

the ocean. makes me uncomfortable that i live on a planet that is about 75% uninhabitable to me, LOL... seems like if you are an Earthling, it's much more efficient and favorable to be a marine animal.-
haha!! you have more space! that's true!!!

That reminds me of something that does get me unglued, even if it isn't my worst fear. I really get creeped out by the Columbia River. No other river has that effect on me. But I can't even drive across a bridge over that waterway.
It started in the 1800's after I had taught a black servant girl to read in Missouri and the townspeople were mad over it. Both of us ran away and eventually joined a group emigrating to Oregon. The servant girl died of Cholera along the way. I went on, surviving by prostitution. I was raped and murdered by 2 drunks at the Columbia river. I remember those last horrible moments too well, their faces rippled by the surface of the water before the warmness took me away. -
Seriously Lynn, you're freaking me out!!
-
Sorry, Mousie-dear. I can give you a hug if that will help.
-

I really don't have any, but I did read about this phobia just the other day that I found interesting. I'm not kidding - this is a an actual phobia. I do believe I may have developed a phobia in trying to pronounce it.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - the fear of long words.-
Gawdess, MMM! Somebody had to come up with something to beat antidisestablishmentarianism!
-
-
oh yea 3m
I have a fear of words I can't pronouce.lol.What's that called
Wait! don't tell me if I can't sound it out. Might send me into
ptsd!lol.-
Wow. Me, too.

I think I have GAD. -
Spiders.
I am absolutely freaked out by spiders.
And here in South Africa, we have some SERIOUSLY huge ones, some of them harmless, some of them not.
We get rain spiders in the house, big huge hairy things with long legs, and they can run like the wind--usually AT you and not away from you! I've been in the house 4 years and have seen about 6 of them. Horrid, nasty, ugly things.
Then there are baboon spiders, big (as big as a toddler's hand) shiny black hairy venomous spiders with fangs half a centimeter long that eat, among other things, mice and small birds. Any spider big enough and poisonous enough to catch, poison, and eat a mammal is more spider than I want to know! Hubby found one in the garage where he lived before I moved here.
Horrid!-
that's horrible!
-
-
I agree with Sweet Violet - I freak out about spiders! We'd get black widows in our garage or wood pile. And when we moved my dad told all about the new spiders we might encounter - tarantulas! In middle school science class there was a "pet" tarantula in the room and it's terrarium was next to my desk! I want my mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
i have arachnophobia...spiders
-
-
pffft!! spiders *rolls eyes*
Arachnophobia is a scary thing to have, so i wouldn't say you guys have a phobia you just have a healthy respect for them-
Running around screaming at the mere sight of something is not normal. My fear is unhealthy
-
-
If you eat a live toad at breakfast nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
All phobias, poof, gone.-
Heh!
-
-
Harsh sunlight for photography-
what do you mean???
-
-
I agree with the being buried alive one. That would be the worst. -
Continually having skin cancers cut out of me! -
Flying! I know it's safer than driving...but when you are driving the ground is always in reach. -
My fear is death. I just don't want to be around when it happens. -
drowning in water -
Fear of starting a bad thread on BC. -
I know this is weird. But I'm really scared of someone stalking me. I've had a lot of nightmares about some white bald man outside my window or someone might even follow me to my car. I don't even know if that's a phobia. But as a woman i'm scared of getting stalked and raped. I don't know how I developed that little phobia but it sucks ass. haha And suvrokroy! I'm with you on that drowning in the water ordeal. I don't like slow painful deaths or people struggling. I don't want to see myself in that position either-
That's one to be sure. That happens to me a lot. I survived 2 attempted abductions and one actual one. That ended in a night of repeated rape. I was sure I wouldn't survive the night.
-

Does anyone else notice LynneaUrania's comments on here????
-
hmm - well death probably -
1) I am afraid of loosing my near and dear ones.
2)Afraid of loosing my job.
3) Afraid of not getting any increment in current job and remain so for long as I cannot get another job.
4) Afraid of loosing a limb in accident.
5) Afraid of treated like a nowhere man by so called high (bullshit) society people.
6) Snakes,scorpions and evil looking insects.
Humm, worst phobia, 1 and 4.
I am afraid of quite a few more things or having phobia. Can anyone please name these? Thanks.-
And still I am living in a joyful virtual world of mine inside the cyberspace. lol.

I'm terrified that people will criticize comments I make on the forums at BC.... -
Existence!-
Monopoly Of Existence!

My two big phobias are flying and birds.
Even when people explain how you are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork or donkey than flying, I am still scared. It doesn't stop me from flying, I just hate it.
Birds...I can't explain. I am just scared of them full stop.-
I love it when people use those arguments to solidify their pro-flying stance. Next time someone uses any of the "...but you're more likely to be killed by lighting/champagne cork/flying monkey feces/ect ect" toss this one at 'em, "What are the chances of that champagne cork killing hundreds of people at once?" -
Minkin I love that! Lol, I'll say it to my fiance next time he chucks out the statistics!!
-
-
Boats. I can't even talk about it.
-
Definately Spiders! -
I fear waking up in my mid-forties and being completely unsatisfied with my life. That and dying without accomplishing everything I've wanted to accomplish. -
Being underwater at night. I am a certified SCUBA diver; but unlike most divers who consider night dives one of the best experiences of diving,I can't handle it - or choose not too. I have only been on two night dives, but they were too claustrophobic for me, and that has never been an obsticle in day diving or in general. -
Spiders and heights seriously scare the hell out of me. -
Acupuncture, especially on the top of my head. Being forced on the floor behind the first row of seats in a car. In other words, claustrophobia. Ever since I was chased by a goat and this horse poked me in the eye with its nose - all animals, except cats and dogs and fish in round bowls. I could go on.
-
I was kicked by a donkey once and now no longer like asses.
-
All asses? Or just jackasses?
-
All asses.
-
-
I can't believe you're asking the questionon phobias. How timely. I'm doing some research for my blog on phobias. -
Spiders. I can hold them, even wolf spiders, in my opinion the ugliest ones, but the blood vessels actually burst in my arm, leaving marks right up to my elbow. I dont like them very much. -
I fear... being stuck. Not like, in mud, but in life. Not being able to move or travel. Being completely stagnant.
-
That's a good one. I fear being "stuck" too. Just being boring....
-
Not so much a fear of being boring or bored, I've developed an amazing ability to keep myself entertained in almost any circumstance. However, the thought of being stuck in a box canyon and knowing that's *all* the world and universe is. That's bloody frightful.
-
-
Hights. Ever sents I was 7 and fell out of a ski lift. But for some reason I do not mind to fly in a plain. But any thing els for get it. -
Flying on airplanes. -
hydrophobia....no fun during the pool months -
snakes.... YUK! they're ugly, scary creatures....
don't even like fake toy ones, or pictures of them!
sorry reptile lovers! -
I'm fearful of breaking a bone. Ahhh that's gotta hurt and also it would be difficult to do to daily activities. It makes me queasy just thinking about it! -
physical pain
needles,iv's
spiders
being alone
crowds
heights
flying
driving
riding in cars.tanks,hummers,jeeps,large trucks are ok though
horses
dogs
the dark -
used to be spiders but I got over them by killing the biggest one I saw. Now, its the state of having no money. I get panic attacks when I know all the money will be gone soon. -
spiders, I can't stand spiders! -
Getting lost and not being able to find my way back home and water. -
Taking the ferry,cos I can't swim. -
Confined spaces. In high school we tried to see how many people we could cram into a cupboard. I was lying on a shelf with several people blocking me in. It was frightening.
Then I was once sleeping on the middle of 3 bunks and I woke up in the night panicking and had to get out.
And when I'm driving really fast I start thinking a wheel is about to have a blow-out - but that's not a phobia, just a signal to slow down.
