any fear of those?

I HATE SNAKES. I love to watch documentaries on them, but! Ever since I can recall, I could never stand being too close to them, even if they are in a cage. To this day, they are not a fave with me.

Daddy long leg spiders, oh man, they would drive me crazy when I was a kid. As an adult now, they don't even phase me.

I hate snakes and any kind of bugs. Our house always had a lot of roaches in it. We always tried to get rid of them but those things would give me the creaps. :lol:

I'm afraid of birds, especially crows and pigeons.

I always freak out when one decides to fly near me. I always think of how it could peck my eyes out or use its talons to attach itself to me if it wanted to.

Moths. Scared me to death back then, and nothings changed. I was never a fan of dragonflies, and Im still not. Cats used to make me skiddish, but Ive since gotten used to them. I still dont trust them though.

We once had a wild bird fly in our house. :lol:

I hated, and still to this day am petrified of rodents. I don't care how cute, or small they are, they scare the crap out of me!! I once stayed on the top bunk of a bunkbed, during a sleepover for 12 hours, just to get away from a giant mouse I saw. The very sight of them gives me the creeps.

Bees and Dogs, Irene.....bees and dogs! LOL! People made fun of me for being afraid of dogs, but I am sorry, that's the way I was. Growing up, I've seen too many people run from dogs because the owners "sicked" the dog on them.

My teen daughter hates moths too. Once there was one in the bathroom and she came outta there screaming like a banshee...she ran out so fast, like an olympic runner...i nearly peed in my pants from laughing so damn hard!:lol:

I am scared of bugs and snakes, but not as much as when I was a kid. I wouldn't go into a room if I knew there was a spider or other bug in it.:lol:

I'm absolutely (and I mean PETRIFIED) afraid of bees! Any time one is in the vicinity, I freak out. I have no idea why for I have never been stung in my life, nor really around them if I can help it. They scare the crap out of me. Insects in general scare me. Not cute at all.

I'm also afraid of most dogs.

Yeah, when I was about in young ages, I usually think of any kind of animal in my dream during the sleep. I don't really remember what kind of dream I got. Oh, last few months of my bad dream that I easily remember at my today's age. Anyway, when I dreamed in the forest somewhere in the world that is unknown and then the lion jumped out of the tree at the back after I hear the sound of the stomp. And then I suddenly ran away from the lion until I was caught. :eek: That's the reason I get this kind of bad dream about the animals. :crazy:

Bats. We used to get bats in our old house. Bats turn me into a 6 year-old girl.

Mice, spiders, and bees aren't my best friends, either.

Bees and Dogs, Irene.....bees and dogs! LOL! People made fun of me for being afraid of dogs, but I am sorry, that's the way I was.

People made fun of me for that too! People kept asking if I'd been attacked by one. :rolleyes:

And now, after being on Paxil for almost 4 years, I've done almost a 360 with dogs. That in itself is kind of scary. There are still some that scare me though.

I'm afraid of birds.

OMG...I hate birds. They're all evil. At our old house, we used to have robins build nests by our back door (which was our main entrance/exit). They were fine before the damn eggs hatched, but afterward, the evil mother would dive bomb us even if we didn't go anywhere near the nest. I was afraid to leave the house. Those ****ing birds kept me prisoner. I WISH DEATH ON ALL ROBINS. (the birds, not people named Robin :lol:)



Other than that, I run from bees (even sweat bees), and any and all insects/arachnids that are above eye level. If it's below me, like I could step on it, I have no problem anymore. But that whole fear of them falling on my head...*screams*

I also can't stand ladybugs.

Bugs and spiders and things never really bothered me when I was little. I just remember being afraid of big dogs when i was very small but they don't bother me now. One thing that I've always loved when I was little and still do today that many other people are afraid of are frogs and toads. I think they are just soo cute!

I wasn't afraid of moths when I was a kid, but I had one fly into my face when I was about 8 and that pretty much scarred me for life. I was pretty afraid of moths when I was in my teens...Not so much now. They still freak me out, but I don't get scared of them now...They are HIDEOUS though...*shudder*

I've learned to get used to the bugs that come into my house in the warmer months and whatnot. I was scared of spiders for a long time but had to get over my fear because dime-sized spiders come into my house ALL THE TIME in the warmer months. Oh yes, there IS a bug that does creep me out. I never saw them much as a kid, and I just started seeing them about a year or so ago...Crickets. *SHUDDER* Creepy little buggers. :cuss:

Oh wait, I just remembered another one. They creep me out to death...TICKS. *shudders* I had one burrow its way through my skin almost 8 years ago, the summer before I went into 8th grade. Needless to say, it was quite an orderal getting the tick removed from my neck.
