Title: Strange fears
Post by: ianh05 on September 03, 2012, 10:23:13 PM
Let's talk about any strange fears you might have here. My strange fear is that I'm OK with looking down from tall buildings but I can't look up at them, I get so dizzy and feel uncomfortable :/

I'm fine with being on really tall buildings but when I'm like 20ft off the ground I'm shaking. Also my friend is scared of moths.

I'd say clowns, but that's not strange at all.   My strange fear is colossal humanoid statues.  Christ the Redeemer, Statue of Liberty, Any statue that's over 20 feet tall and in human shape.  Can't be around them.  Nope, don't know why, they just terrify me.   Shadows of the Colossus was a horror game for me.

As for me, two of mine has to be Taphophobia- an extreme fear of being buried alive, and Trypanophobia, an extreme fear of needles.

Heights, but only when I feel the structure I am on is unstable. I can be 1500+ feet in the air inside a building or something, but I can't deal with even 10 feet while on a ladder.

Car accidents... I have driven a race car, and barrel-rolled it 5 times, but that didn't bother me at all. Race cars have a full roll cage and an aluminum racing seat with five-point harness. Plus the helmet, neckbrace and firesuit that is all mandatory... I am fine in a race car. A street vehicle is another story, completely. They scare the piss out of me. The fact that so many people drive like complete retards doesn't help.

HAHAHA ....... I slept at the deer camp on the river saturday night and it was hot so I didn't put up my mosquito net and spiders crawled on me all night long.

I woke up one time and one was trying to crawl in my damn ear, then a grandaddy long leg crawled across my face. (yes, you can tell what it is even in the dark)

I'm afraid of those African body-mutilating techniques.  I'm talking about things like neck rings (gives you a griaffe neck), anything to do with skewers, and oh god, gauged ears (google search if you dare) .  I was on the train once and this white guy with gauged ears the size of shot glasses was sat near me.  The whole time I was screaming in my head "YOU FREAK!  YOU ****ING FREAK!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? WHY??? YOU'RE SICK!!!!"

Anyway, for me? Dogs.

You'd love my friend, he's got 2 4cm tunnels! And I think he may have expanded them since I last saw him. He also has scaffolds and septum piercings. And to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he had a Prince Albert.

I used to have a pretty bad fear of ascending and descending ladders.  But, I spent the past two summers forcing myself to overcome that fear and now it's all good.

So, now... I fear nothing.

Bring it on! Heights. Bugs. Animals. Pop Music. I can take it.  Grrrrrrrr.

Much like Goldenfox, I have a fear of being buried alive. I also have a fear of dying (Most common fear ever!) And a phobia of being in the middle of a dark street with the possibilty of getting assaulted (In my neighbourhood, theres dark streets and chavs everywhere, why I havent been jumped yet is beyond me)

I would say that I have Friggatriskaidekaphobia, or Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, but that would just be silly.
Both of those are real fears, by the way.

Lets see... I have a fear of Bloody Mary, going into bathrooms at night, using the bathroom at school, Australian rednecks (which is hilarious because I'm considered to be half american-redneck)...

I also have a fear of losing an eye or people who've lost an eye or people who are losing an eye, getting impaled by my own clarinet and getting my fingernails/toenails ripped off.

And losing my Mr Happy, of course.

At least 50% of spiders out on the pull, or simply moving house, are killed by misguided people. It makes me sad.

Oh yeah, I'm also extremely paranoid of being kidnapped/mugged/raped/carjacked. Don't know why, I've always been like that, probably because I exposed myself to that sh** when I was younger (studying serial killers and what not on wikipedia) and needless to say, I am always carrying really sharp objects in my pockets just in case.

had something like that happen to me today

was trying to get my clarinet out, it was stuck against something, and then I accidently yanked it out and slapped the ledge above me (where the trombones and occasionally saxes keep their cases) and a trombone case was teetering dangerously in my direction.

and about 3 other people's directions, but hey, crowded case lock-up room.
