phobias

[kallis3]

I work with someone who has a button phobia. She cannot even say the word and refers to them as fastners. She is very good though as one or two people at work take the mickey and tease her.

I hate worms.Find it difficult to even write the word down without pulling a face and shuddering.I know someone who hates the sight of pregnant women, especially when thier abdomen is very distended and belly button has popped out!!!

somebody i know won't say the word breast, she has chicken chest and chips!!!!

I dont mind aggots I went fishing with my dad fro a young age and they dont bother me at all. Just wasps really with me I hate them. I wont go to a pub in the summer because of them.

Have to say wasps tip the top of the list for me. I was alright until I got stung on the finger and then developed a rash from it!!! And it all very well OH saying stand still and it won't hurt you but that easy for him to say when you haven't got one crawling over your eyelids and lips!!! Bring on the RAID!!! Love the stuff

I can't also bear it if someone steps on a crunchy bug (real life or a film) I have to close my eyes and cover my ears!

Like you Skippy I can't sleep with the wardrobe door open and I can't also sleep with my feet outside of the covers in case the under bed monster gets me - 31 years of age and still scared of the under bed monster - its a b****r in summer!

We're all living in fear of something eh? I don't know where my old man fear came from, when i say old I mean about 80yrs....hope my kids don't put me in a nursing home in years to come...nightmare lol

I don't like maggots either, many years ago I used to live in a flat above a fishing tackle shop. To get to the flat I had to walk down a dark passage into a yard. On a Thursday he closed for half day and that was when he had his maggot delivery and these were stacked in the passage, and there were loads of them! Not to bad when I was on early shift as I was usually home and didn't see them. If I was on lates or nights, I used to have to see which wall they were stacked against and then flatten myself against the other one to get past them. Still makes me shudder now to think about it

I have a needle phobia ... which is awkward as I take insulin twice a day (thank god for the new pens) I'm also phobic about dentists. In fact phobic is to mild a term to describe the feeling .... so guess who has no teef

[kallis3]

Needles I have no problem with at all, can even watch them when I need to have a blood test! Hubbie hates them and cannot watch them, not even on tele.

With me it is eyes (strange really considering I had laser surgery last year!) I cannot bear to see closeups of eyes, or eye surgery on TV. OH has to tell me when it has gone

[louisa.s]

I don't mind needles as long as I can see where they are sticking them!!! (Screwed if I need an epidural!)

[TREES57]

I can't really think of any phobias apart from-
roaches ,when i watch Fear Factor and they eat them eeww!
Unglazed pottery! the thought of touching terracotta pots and my nails accidently scratching against it,yuk!
Having the curtains open at night and waking up and seeing someone there(we are 4 floors up so that would be freaky)
Lifts,the thought of being stuck in one.
Werewolves! this comes from sneaking down the stairs when i was 7 to sit and look through the bannisters at American werewolf in London on the tv without my mum/dad knowing.We live near some woods so when i used to work nights and there was a full moon i used to run full pelt up to our front door and then walk calmly in!much to the amusement of the o/h who loves to remind me 'their not real!'
Gee, i guess i could think of a few!!

[cat 1]

I give people injections...I do it really fast, then push the oil based liquid in slow to minimise the pain.I'm always scared the needle will snap.I have never known this happen ,ever.

Fish........demons they are and they scare the living daylights out of me.
Also bridges over water and tunnels under it. Strange really as im a pices.

[Skippy]

I'm a Pisces as well Mrs Skint and I'm frightened of fish and water as well! I had to go to France with work a few years ago and I insisted on going by the Channel Tunnel as it's the lesser of evils - I'm scared of flying - but all I could think of was all that water above me, and I hoped the tunnel didn't collapse!

I also hate fire - I won't even light a match. The ironic thing is I'm the fire warden at work!

I'm a big wuss really!

[angela18]

I can't do fireworks!! Petrified.. also ferries or anything that goes on water, isn't good but I'm a leo!!
