Phobias and Fears

This too for me. I don't ever really think about it, because I never put myself in a position for it to affect me, but I know I could never do any of those cave tours or whatnot. The very idea of all that rock pressing down on me.... nope nope nope nope nope. I get incredibly panicky watching movies, like The Descent, where characters have to force themselves through tiny gaps in rock. Primordial vampire monsters are just icing on the shit cake.

It first manifested for me at a Crystal Castles rave in which a massive auditorium in San Francisco was so packed with writhing strangers , many of which were completely in their underwear, it was like sardines. Literally. You couldn't move, or lift an arm, or wriggle your shoulders because you were completely closed in on all sides by a solid mass of flesh.

My ex best friend loves raves and I gradually grew distant from her because I was no longer fun to hang out with, because I started insisting I had to stay on the outermost fringes at raves.

I also had a nervous breakdown at a horror theme park attraction which was designed as a purely psychological and minimalist experiment. There was no decor in this ride. It was simply a sort of maze in which you walk through tunnels of inflated walls of black cloth....the walls would be pressing in you from all sides, and then you'd have other people both behind and in front of you.

I freaked out. I started pushing at the guy in front of me, desperate to reach the end and get the fuck out of the endless trap.

I also have a problem with flying, stinging insects. Honey and bumble bees are fine, but hornets, wasps and yellow jackets have to be killed on sight. I also have a problem with confinement. I could be in a crowded elevator and be fine, but if I were locked inside a warehouse, I'd cut through a wall to get out.

I think the elevator would be worse for me.

There's always someone that doesn't understand soap.

I really hate random people on the streets crash on me or specifically touch me (pointing at trains, buses and elevators).

I'm fearful of germs, bacteria and Viruses. I've had a few infections in my eyes, throat and etc. in the last few years and I don't really want them happen again. SO I WASH MY HANDS A LOT.
Also people say "BACTERIA IS GOOD FOR YOUR BODY" herp derp... and they justify being dirty for this. They don't know that viruses and other tiny micro organisms also can enter your body and screw your health. And it's not like we can kill all not-useful bacteria in our bodies easily.

^ in short I'm right.

Yep, snakes. If I had the ability and the means to do so from a distance, I would make them all extinct (for the record, I don't hate anything else to the point of wanting to extinct them, not even mosquitoes which are awful). I can't figure out what it is about them that makes me fear, but I always get this really evil vibe from them (says the car that doesn't believe in good and evil). I am so sorry for the hell that must of been for you  

I am also afraid of curtains, because I feel like someone could be on the other side and pull me through or stab me through them. 

Ok, I have a phobia but I'm not sure what it is. I can't stand waiting rooms. Like waiting rooms in the hospital or the dentist.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the impending examination or surgery, I have no rational explanation for it. Its the sitting around having nothing to do in a small room with lots of people. I start to sweat, get really high blood pressure and I feel sick and uneasy in a matter of minutes. I feel similarly in a bus or train, buts its not nearly as bad as in waiting rooms.

No idea what it is, I do not suffer from claustrophobia, I do not suffer from social anxiety and I'm actually a patient person.

There is a Spongebob episode about that....

Heights. Even when watching movies my feet will feel weird when watching scenes involving heights. Probably one reason I am afraid of flying as well.

Here is another phobia: crustaceans. As a kid I spent a lot of time on beaches, and there were a lot of dead crabs. Also I used to have hermit crabs as pets during that time period. The way they died with their shriveled up bodies and bulging eyes is not a pleasant experience for a 8-10 year old.

I must be strange I've never come across anything that I could say that I'm genuinely afraid of(and I'm no spring chicken). But I do worry when my daughter goes out drinking.

Today I found out that somebody I know and his wife really - as in REALLY- believe in the conspiracy of the evil lizard people.

People never cease to amaze me, in negative ways.

I laughed and told them they are full of ssssssssshit.

Needles are terrifying to me for some reason. Whenever I get shots or blood work, even if I don't look when they are sticking it in me, I just get dizzy, hot, and end up throwing up afterwards. Quite a few times I ended up needing to lie on the floor for a few minutes afterwards.
