The Phobia Thread

Spiders creep me out.

I don't really like heights, unless I know I'm secure, like rides and shit don't bother me at all.

I can't stand small spaces.

I have a fear of aliens coming and performing creepy experiments on me. Unless they're female. Then that kinda turns me on.


I also fear death, because I don't believe in an afterlife, so the idea of me not feeling existence of anything scares the shit out of me.
 
Spiders, centipedes, etc. Anything with more than 4 legs creeps me out a bit, aside from ants (they don't bother me at all), but anything with more than six just creeps the fuck out of me.

this.

I'd rather be locked in a cage and fight with a grizzly bear than with certain creepy crawlers.:) (as stupid as it sounds)

Actually, I've just reached the point to were I can now stomp on and kill a spider all by myself...without having to ask someone else to do it. Although, spiders do eat and rid of many other insects so its a constant inner battle in what to do?
 
Actually, spiders are only creepy when they are inside. When they are outside, they tend to be pretty cool and interesting.
 
Fucking centipedes and millipedes can foad

Spiders inside the house, or on me/on something I would sit on. I generally leave insects alone outside, but if they come in the house it's their death.
I will kill spiders with whatever allows me to remain the farthest away from them since you never know which ones have amazing jumping capabilities.

Things like tight spaces (specifically restricting my upper body) don't bother me too much as long as I still do have the ability to free myself/leave. Caves are in that grey area like I think Vihris mentioned. I refuse to go too deep underground. Explored some abandoned mines from late 19/early 20th century. Went all through the main shafts but refused to go down into some of the small exploratory shafts that you couldn't really see where you were going until you got down there. The idea of being buried alive would suck about as bad as drowning in the middle of the Ocean.
Einherjar mentioned the middle of the ocean or space, and I concur with those, the middle of space because death would be inevitable and you are all alone in the darkness.
The ocean because my imagination would be in overdrive assuming Jaws is circling below.

Edit: @ Belligerent: They don't really get as big as that picture can make them seem. A similar species lives in the US deserts. They generally avoid civilization, plus are mainly nocturnal. Is also not a spider, it is a sepulgid or something.
 
While I was in Iraq, I was living in an area away from the main part of the base, and since I worked the graveyard shift, my time off was still in the middle of the night thanks to sleep patterns. I couldn't go to the main gym on base since the bus didn't run at night (and I wasn't walking in the dark for 2 miles just to get there), so I had to use this shitty tent gym close by.

Bad thing was all the nocturnal critters that like skittering about in there. Would be lifting and see something out of the corner of your eye. Could totally fuck up your rhythm.

Would regularly find baby version of those things when I would be shifting benches or whatever. Fortunately the baby ones don't move near as fast as the adults. Killed plenty.
 
If I had one of those run at me I'd scream like chris tucker...
 
Also have this weird one where I really hate any organic material that has lots of holes in it, especially when you can see all the way through. Think a piece of termite ridden wood or a potatoe that's been raped by a corer. (I had to do an experiment years back in school where we put loads of little holes in potatoes and I fucking hated it.)

ME TOO!!!!!!!! The worst ever is that horrible "breast rash" Photoshop (google it if you're that curious), uncooked tripe and honeycombs are also awful. I am getting waves of chills just thinking about it.

Aside from that, I can't think of any phobias off hand. I used to be terrified of flying because I was worried someone else would vomit on the plane, but I've gotten over that one which is nice considering I am on at least 3-4 loooooooong haul flights every year.

Or you could just stare at a slice of "natural" wheat bread and get the same feeling, because I get this as well.Not really chills, just a weird feeling in my teeth (as weird as that sounds).

Oh dang man, those look fucking huge. Reminds me of the killer spiders from that one movie that had this nest in a barn. They were some species from africa (As said in the movie).

Holy fucking shit I really wish I hadn't googled that. Fuck.... FUCK!


FUCk!


At least now I know what its called - Trypophobia...

What the FUCK did I just look at.

Actually don't answer - I don't want to have to think about it again.
 
So I'm not a fun of holes, cuts, fissues, or gashes. Its hard for me to explain, but doing a search for "Breash Rash" and seeing those fucking holes is a general idea of things that I can't fucking look at without getting shivers and goosebumps on my back. Deep cuts or lacerations of the flesh and stuff like that are too much for me to handle.

Fuck...I still got goosebumps.
