Weird Phobias?

[MandieR1980]

Anyone else have any weird phobias?

I'm afraid of the gas stove I turned it on once and it almost burned my hair and I haven't touched it since. Thank god for George Forman Grills, Microwaves and Toaster Ovens.

This isnt' a phobia but I hate talking on the phone I'd rather talk to them in person or online. I dont know why I hate it I just do.

I hate the phone with a passion also.

I'm scared of mirrors. Ever since I saw The Ring I've been scared I'd look in my mirror and she'd be standing in the corner. I always turn a light on before I go to into my room.

If there is one thing I fear the most it is seeing a balloon. Ever since I was little, I have gotten very nervous and anxious when someone around me has a balloon. The reason I'm so afraid of them is because when they pop and I'm near it, it is very very loud and out of nowhere. Most, if not all, Autistic people fear balloons and for this reason. It always amazes me how other people don't mind the sound. Maybe it's because I can hear things better than other people.

Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?

I used to fear clowns when I was little. I was scared to go to Circus Circus because I thought there were a lot of clowns there. Good thing I didn't watch "It" when I was a kid or else I would probably still be scared of clowns until this very day.

eggs and shellfish (course there's a good reason for THAT one)

Same here. Im also afraid to be in deep deep water like 20 ft or more. I know how to swim and everything it just makes me feel weird.

Moths. Scare the hell out of me.

Water (deep). I, too, know how to swim.. but if my feet cant touch the water without me going under.. I dont like it. I dont use slides or diving boards either. Yowsas.

Stoves/fire/matches. Ive been in a couple situations with the stove and flames shoot out at me. Ugh. I cant light matches either. I use prongs to hold the match. One time though, I HAD to light the match to set the pellet stove, and when it lit, I got so freaked out I threw it on the floor and put it out.

Clowns. 'It'.

Heights/bridges. I dont mind driving over bridges, but Ive always had the fear of driving off into the water and not being able to get out. Creeps me out. As for heights.. I cant climb ladders, and dont like looking down something straight below. Like when we went to the Empire State Building. Looking straight all the way down freaked me out. I was also petrified of climbing the rope in school. Once, during Field Day, I went into the bathroom the whole time so I wouldnt have to go on the rope and jump off. I was also afraid of the monkey bars. Once, I climbed up to the top and got too scared to go down the pole, so I climbed back down again.

But out of all of those.. moths are the biggest. I totally freak out.

Oh, allergic? I never thought about it, but I guess I am sort of scared of nuts because I am severly allergic to them. Sometimes when products have a warning that they may have come in contact with nuts (like at bakeries), I get kind of paranoid when eating them.

I don't have any real weird phobias. Just doctors, especially ones that will listen to your pulse at an appointment. (Actually the nurses usually do that.) I hate doctors all around, but the phobia really stems from having my pulse checked. That's pretty weird I'd say.

Phone. However, since it's become essential to my job, I'm getting less scared of it.

Walking inside banks. I just know the damn thing will get robbed while I'm in there.

Ladybugs.

Doing anything headfirst. Like I cannot dive into a pool...can't do a somersault...things like that.

I love that! I'd go nuts if I didn't live near one.

Man, thanks for reminding me about The Ring. Now I'm gonna be scared outta my mind for a few days. I'll have every light in the house on now. Stuff like that has the weirdest effect on me. lol.

Hmm...Like some other people said...I dont like the phone. I hate talking on the phone.

I dont like doctors, bugs or germs. I dont like getting dirty at all. Oh and I hate escalators too. I had a bad experience when I was like nine. I was freaking out on the escalator in the mall. I wa so scared. It was quite a scene.

OMG...so I"m not the only one that has a MAJOR fear of moths. They REALLY freak me out.

I CAN swim in deep ends taht are 10 feet deep - but any deeper than that, no. I can't. I can go off diving boards into the water if it's 9-10 feet deep...but if it were 12, no. I always think a monster hand is going to reach up, grab my legs and pull me underwater.

I've hated clowns for the LONGEST time. Still do. *shudder*

I"m getting better about heights - I used to hate heights - I still have my moments, but it's getting better now.

But like you, moths REALLY freak me out. Once, there was this HUGE, dead moth on my bedroom windowsill, and my bed was right by that window! so I slept in my stepsis's bedroom until somebody got rid of it. Eww.

Another thing I REALLY hate is nightlights. I don't know why I'm so scared of them - they just do. I'd rather walk in the dark than have a nightlight to help me. They give me the willies.
