Dementuo Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Fear of bees. Fear of Blenders. Fear of bees in blenders. OT: I wouldn't call it a "fear", per say, but... I don't like blood. At all. I can't stand it. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm a germ a phobe. Luckly(?) it only really kicks in after I use the bathroom, but I do avoid touching anything in the train with my bare hands and living in NYC that isn't isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Sander Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I guess you could say I have a mild acrophobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Apiphobia & 'Rollercoasterphobia'. There isn't a latin or greek term for it, so that's what it's called, apparently. I also used to have a fear of statues for a short time, mainly after the airing of the DW episode blink, but I doubt it was a phobia, merely a short fear.

Wizarus Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ligyrophobia. Any type of bang, boom, or pop scares the s*** out of me. If I hear someone yelling, I get intimidated, and I'm ready to fight or run. Don't get me started on thunder storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallieBigs Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I am terrified of heights. Just thinking of being on a high up place makes me feel uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No, I'm saying that I, personally, am not "afraid" of blood. I just don't sit well with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm afraid of sleeping in the dark...even at 24...(in a hotel room with my family it's fine though), I just linked sleeping in the dark with nightmares. I used to be afraid of dogs, then I got my little dog, and you can't really be scared of dogs if you're walking a dog who loves to say hello. I don't mind my own blood, but sometimes seeing other people's blood makes me want to be sick (I have a weak stomach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerion Brightflame Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Aracnaphobia, and a fear of hieghts. Oh, and fear of dogs after one savaged my leg when i was 5. I used to think I had a fear of rejection, but thats a whole different and unrelated issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I freakin' hate the open ocean. Perhaps not really a phobia, and it doesn't matter much on a boat, but the thought of swimming with thousands of feet of nothing below me makes me shiver. For all I know, Terramorphous the Invincible will reach up and pull me down to my untimely demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have Acrophobia. Hights do sort of freak me out. Manly because I think I will fall or hurt myself. I also have Arachnophobia, but I'm getting over it. Atychiphobia is one that is sorta with me. If it's something important to me, I get a bit scared to do it. If you force me, I will do it though. But it's life a video game, or just an average day to day thing, I'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Alda Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'm reluctant to post this because I'm afraid someone will use it for a prank or blackmail (that might be a phobia in and of itself) but I'm deathly afraid of nursery rhymes, lullabies and children's music in general. I can't listen to the children's choir at my church without a slight heart murmur. Lullabies are especially terrifying; I can barely sing evening hymns at church. Considering evening hymns sometimes use sleep as a symbolic representation of a Christian death...I should probably stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Really? That's definitely an unusual one. I bet that's a pain sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~NOiSE~ Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. The fear of long words.
