They're not really phopias are they?

A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

Like heights or water or open spaces etc.

**RandomLogik** · 04-05-2005, 08:44 AM

i fear maths and numbers

along with the obvious snakes, sharks and spiders

i can't wait to go cage diving

**frogman** · 04-05-2005, 08:54 AM

i suffer from triskaidekaphobia

**psychedelik_aj** · 04-05-2005, 09:00 AM

deffinetly shark's, such mysterious creatures, ppl think they understand them. no one does. just stay out of the water.
P.S all these air jaws doco's have certainly freaked me out.

**whitegoose** · 04-05-2005, 09:04 AM

I have a massive fear of flying - and I've been having to fly heaps this year for work

Last night was really fucking bumpy

I believe a fear of snails is cochleaphobia. Phobias are fairly easily named, they basically utilise the greek word for the phobia (in general, but its not a completely hard or fast rule).

Snails suck. The bastards keep getting into my plants, and i cant put down snail pellets coz my kitten will eat them.

Sometimes I really think that this guy had the right idea.

hahaha.

**sinistah** · 04-05-2005, 09:42 AM

fear of meeting other teknoscapers

oh and raverphobia

**purlin** · 04-05-2005, 09:49 AM

actually yes.
the fear of failure (in this case, to achieve) is kakorrhaphiophobia or atychiphobia.

**Petar** · 04-05-2005, 09:50 AM

i have a phobia of animals.. particularly dogs and cats.

**Aurien** · 04-05-2005, 09:50 AM

heights only on man made structures
im fine if im climbing a rock face
or absailing down one

**DiSaSSociateD** · 04-05-2005, 09:52 AM

i have a phobia of spiders, pretty common I guess but that makes no difference to me !

also, large mechanical machines scare me, i find them very sinister and dont trust 'em.

but most of all, im scared of eneding up a lonley old woman, or like either of my parents .
:/

**forreal** · 04-05-2005, 10:35 AM

There's been a couple of threads on this topic.

mine is Autophobia

**hitmonlee** · 04-05-2005, 11:03 AM

heights - when i'm on a bridge/edge of a tall building or even a step ladder i freak out, think someone is going to push me over, maybe my body will just randomly decide to throw itself over the edge, a gust of wind will blow me over, etc.

yorkshire pudding - the site and smell of it freaks me out. dates back to an accident i had they had to use a specific type of dressing on the wound that reminded me of yorkshire pudding and i've been petrified of it since.

**swarbs** · 04-05-2005, 11:07 AM

sharks, hornets

**Moe** · 04-05-2005, 11:12 AM

carnies.
Circus folk

I'm exactly the same

**heist** · 04-05-2005, 11:32 AM

I'm scared of a lot of shit, but I have no phobias.

Fear of heights isn't a phobia, fear of heights is a perfectly natural reaction to the fact you might fall to your wet-crunching, compact death.

**hitmonlee** · 04-05-2005, 11:36 AM

no heist its an irrational fear, the railing is perfectly high, i am short, i'm not going to fall over, no-one is going to push me over, the wind isn't going to blow me over, yet somehow i feel i have no control over my body and it will go over the edge anyway.

i get so scared going to the top level of myer in the city.

and the leederville overpass.
i have to walk in the middle and look directly ahead.

**Moe** · 04-05-2005, 11:53 AM

**mooki** · 04-05-2005, 12:26 PM

heh heh, you're wrong actually - i read a news article (looking for it) last year about some young woman who was going over a freeway overpass, got hit by a freak gust of wind and got knocked over the railing ....

uumm, sorry. I guess that didnt help your phobia...

**hitmonlee** · 04-05-2005, 12:33 PM

in perth?
it doesn't get that windy here does it?

once i was really nervous, crossing the overpass with my umbrella when it was windy
fuck that
so glad i don't have to cross that twice a day anymore.

same! i get the feeling like im going to jump and that im not going to be able to control it
i never use to be scared of heights. its just happened in the last few years - along with me becoming very squimish and i cant think of anything that could triggered it.

**Mr Bradley Mr Martin** · 04-05-2005, 01:54 PM

facter:

as much as i find him annoying, milan kundera has some cool things to say about fear of heights along the lines of 'vertigo isn;t the fear of falling, its the fear of wanting to fall off'

**[Em.Ka]_M0i** · 04-05-2005, 04:37 PM

i will have you if you dont scare me.... lol
