acrophobia^^^^
I have that phobia too.

yeah... lol engrish

I am going to get laughed at.

I am affraid that my thumbs might fall. It usually doesn't bother me to the point of paranoia, but sometimes when I am sick and have a fever, or when I am very drunk, I find myself looking at my hands and it really freaks me out.
I don't even know what that is called, or if there even is a name for that

How bad? Chairs, tables and step-ladders I can cope with. I draw the line at ladders proper and anything much above ten feet though.

Schizophrenia.

Spiders, and I have actually tried to overcome it. Damn freaky upclose, those jumping ones i'm always coming across.

I'm kinda similar. My fear is proportional to both how high it is AND the chances of me falling. Example, if I'm in an airplane or in an office building, it's no big deal because I'm not going to just slip and fall. Whereas, if I was working on an unfinished roof on a two story house, that makes me very shaky. I even get nervous on the waterslide towers that are 40'+ high but the rush of sliding down the slides are worth it.

I'm also pretty claustrophobic.

Not going mad.

Why are you stealing my ideas http://sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=65271 :( Absane discipline the poor fellow, I at least gave everyone a list to choose from, I am gonna go cry now.

I'll go post in there and vote in your poll if it makes you feel better. :m:

The waterslides don't bother me but roofing's out. I had a summer job a while back as a safety official in an oil refinery. No idea how high up we were but there were seaguls flying below us, and the floors were wire mesh so you could see through them right down the the ground hundreds of feet below. Didn't bother me though. :p

Enclosed spaces? Can't get enough of 'em.

I love spiders

This got me thinking. I have a recurring fear - a black daydream - of tripping and hitting my mouth on a kerb. Ultra-painful introduction to an all-soup diet. http://www.sciforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

I will get you back for that, how did you find a pic of a jumping spider so fast!?!?

Only the bug lady can do this.

She probably took the photograph too.

I took that photograph a while ago, I have the url to where I hosted it saved... it is nt a jumping spider though, it's a Lycosidae, or "wolf spider", about 4cm long

Jumping spiders flirting

Hilarious - the front legs almost looked like redarmy11´s eyes .......
I hope they added the sounds .....not real ....

How is your throat, Varda ?

I am pretty sure the sounds are real.
Bugs make noises... you can't tell for most of the times because of background noises, but when you put a microphone near, you hear stuff like this, or like this other one I caught getting ready to fly:

How's my throat? What a random question... it's.. um, fine

Not random - just remembered, that you had some throat problems (hiccups-like) some months ago .......

My throat jumps like crazy when I'm stressed
I've been relaxed lately :)

What are you talking about?

Well I posted a thread on Phobias, but I gave all the members a huge list to find theirs from, this guy just ignored a list and posted a simple statement, mine is far better :shrug:

I have several "black day dreams" such as going over on my ankle while walking next to a road, falling into the road and getting smushed. Also falling down the stairs and breaking my neck. I mean I don't think like that all the time or at all really its just something that pops in there sometimes.

But as an actual clinical phobias I don't have any. I mean I don't like spiders but unlike in America and Australia the spiders in Britian don't get too big and they definatley are not poisonous, so I can deal with spiders.

Oh another odd "black day dream" is if I'm on a peir or next to the railings on a ferry, I have the odd feeling my shoes are gonna fall into the water even if I'm not dangling my feet over the edge.:bugeye:

I have a fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching me.

Quack.
(Oh, shit, rumbled)

Yeah have you seen that website so many phobias on that list must be fake especially the duck 1. what about the name for the fear of chins being very similar to the fear of sex, thats odd. And don't ask what website cos that was years ago.

I don't really have many fears. A lot of things scare me, but I don't have any phobias. That sounds a little confusing, doesn't it? Anyway..

I worry myself sometimes when I'm standing on something high by telling myself I could jump off and I'd be dead. It wouldn't take any effort and it could even happen by accident. Or when I'm driving I see a wall and think that if I didn't steer around the corner I could drive into the wall and maybe die. Strange situational things, usually involving a simple action and the consequence being death or serious injury.

And killing other people - generally in the car. If I didn't avoid the cyclist that's weaving along the road, would they end up crushed and mangled under my wheels. If I dropped something heavy off a building or out a window and someone was walking by at exactly the right/wrong time.

Kids scare me. Especially young ones on bikes on the pavement. They never look that steady and there's a chance they could go onto the road by accident. I slow right down usually and go on the wrong side of the road if it's clear. The last thing I ever want to do is kill a kid. I don't think I could take it.

I have a fear of forceful women, female teachers terrified me.

You mean to tell me that that thing in the avatar is redarmy11? I thought spidergoat was the only non-human inhabitting this forum.

I don't know if this qualifies as a phobia, because to me it's a damn rational fear: breaking wind while sneezing in a public place (in work would be worst). It could happen!

Post your phobias.

i have no phobias they are irrational.

but i did see an interesting television show the other week where a woman had a phobia of buttons, like clothing buttons,

i thought hey that seems logical,

peace.

I wasn't exactly looking for common phobias, hence thread title

No phobias or fears at all.
That's apparently uncommon.

No phobias, though I don't like climbing ladders, simply because I'm aware of the risk of falling.

we are special.
