Jae Onasi Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 @Jae, too bad. I already know yours. @Everyone, so you can all exploit it, I think her phobia is (surprise!) arachnophobia. You Evil Ahtonaut, you! Spiders and I have a mutual pact. They don't make their presence known to me, and I don't feel obliged to squish their little spidey guts into the ground.

Emperor Devon Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 You Evil Ahtonaut, you! I'm gonna go one further. It took a few searches to find, but here it is: Sometimes kids do get damaged. My dad watched a horror movie about giant spiders and decided it would be hilarious to see how his then-4 year old daughter would react. Well, I've had arachnophobia ever since. Here's to that award being mine again in '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Given how many people are afraid of spiders, Herbie, that was a poor choice of images to post. I'd edit it out, if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have a phobia of revealing my phobias online. Reminds me of 1984 where Big Brother uses the main character's phobia against him. I've had a phobia of rats ever since I read that book. Scary, yet incredibly awsome, stuff. I have a problem with anything that restricts my breathing. I don't know if there's any technical name for that, but I got it. Not really claustraphobic, just... yeah. And bees. I'm fine with flies, spiders, and pretty much anything like that, except for bees/wasps/hornets. I don't know why. I've never been stung before, I know that. I freak out when one gets too close to me. As in throw-my-food-at-it-and-scream-like-a-little-girl freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 And bees. I'm fine with flies, spiders, and pretty much anything like that, except for bees/wasps/hornets. Yup. In case anyone who doesn't live in North America was wondering, yellow jackets are closely related to hornets, but much smaller. They build large paper nests similar to those that hornets build, but usually they're underground or inside a wall. When they're underground, the only indication that they're there is a very small hole, from which you can see them come and go if you're paying close attention. These nests are large and normally house several thousand of the little bastards. It's all too easy to run over one with a lawn mower, which I've done more than once. When they attack, they don't just "dive bomb" you and fly off to come around for another pass; they land on you and hold on for dear life, stinging you repeatedly until you manage to pick or flick them off. Multiply that by the 2 dozen or so that got on me before I realized what was happening and it should come as no surprise that I'm terrified of them. @EmpDev: If driders scare you there's an episode of the old D&D cartoon I'd like you to see.

Hallucination Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I'm afraid of spiders, but it's not really phobia-level, I think. I don't mind seeing pictures or movies (sorry Herbie ), and I don't care if I see them in real life, but if they get within 1/3 of a metre from me I'm must get as far away from them as I can.

CSI Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Spiders are fine to me--Trust me, I killed a lot of spiders in Devil May Cry, so already got used to them. Heights Bugs in "King Kong" (That really freaks me out) Eh, and Sith, especially with a cape. And Fighting. I think that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ach! You caught me! But to mend my broken ego, I was watching television, talking to my brother, and sitting with my feet halfway up a wall and my back on the seat of my chair while I typed that with my left hand, and I'm right-handed. I have the right to make spelling and grammatical errors under those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 That goes into the top then most disgusting things I've ever seen/heard list... Come now RJM, tell us all your fears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Well, after examining a small part of the list, I found some... I'm pretty sure I have Ablutophobia and Automysophobia. (possibly schizophrenia and good old fashioned confusion as well:lol: ) I'm pretty sure I don't have Agraphobia, at least in the hetero sense:xp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I'm pretty sure I have Ablutophobia and Automysophobia. (possibly schizophrenia and good old fashioned confusion as well:lol: ) I might not remember exactly what they are, but I think it's difficult to be afraid of being dirty and cleaning yourself at the same time.

RevanA4 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I might not remember exactly what they are, but I think it's difficult to be afraid of being dirty and cleaning yourself at the same time. well you got them right. and yeah that is sorta impossible and after reading that list and knowing what a phobia is I can't say I have any at all. A phobia (from the Greek φόβος "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I find this one very interesting: Hellenologophobia- Fear of Greek terms or complex scientific terminology. How would you tell people that you have it? @Jae: You misspelled 'grammar' in post #37. @RC: You forgot to capitalise 'the' in your fourth sentence.
