~ Phobias ~

What are yours?

Mine are snakes 😱 heights and used to be hospitals but i overcame that.

I honestly think if i saw a snake i'd totally freak out and when in Portugal on a foot bridge over a busy road, i completely froze 😩

Nasolabial folds

Heights

Creepy horror chicks like from The Grudge and The Ring

Deathly afraid of heights. If I even watch videos of someone up high my knees feel wobbly lol.

Ive tried to force myself to overcome my fear numerous times. I did 85 foot zip line. My legs would not cooperate 🤣 I barely had control over my own body.

Ketchup, esp old ketchup that has formed a crust

Bugs, esp June bugs (as a curly haired person who used to play night softball, I'm sure many of us have that shared horrific experience)

I've dealt with being the centre of a snake hunt before. Literally surrounded by hungry, venomous 5 footers.

And too recently, my greatest fear came to fruition. A systemic reaction to an arachnid bite, verified to be the neurotoxin of a funnel web spider. On the neck. I eventually found the culprit in the same place he hid the first time he got me. I also have a scar from a widow (red back) bite on my chest from many years ago. It was removed a couple of months back by a day surgeon.

God damn, you sound like a southerner. Respect

Trypanophobia, claustrophobia, cnidophobia and acrophobia. Man I have some phobias 😂

Well, to translate if someone wonders what they are - fear of needles, enclosed spaces, stinging insects and heights.

Virgo has a fear of needles too and at the moment I’m having to inject my belly every day 😱

It’s the equivalent of me having to handle a snake or stand on the top of a very tall building 😩

Omg 😑 I'd be terrified of that, I know about it and scares the shit out of me😑 I literally feel dizzy just by looking at them, in someone else, not even in my own veins, because that I can't dare to look at😅 only time I was able to overcome that fear was when I had to give injections to my mom...and first time went terrible - as I pulled the cap from a needle, it wasn't lifting so I pulled harder and then it suddenly jumped of it but my hand bonced back and I stang my finger deeply with a needle...blood started running heavily and in all that chaos I was able to still put myself together somehow. Since blood wasn't stopping to run, I was able to find a plastic glove, cover my finger with cotton wool, and put the glove on, then change the needle and give her injection so that she doesn't have to suffer any longer. So I guess we only overcome our fears when a greater fear covers them lol I'm atill terrified of them even after all that and I almost fainted several times when I had to draw blood.

😱

asking andor subreddits if vel is necessary to the narrative and getting cancelled by rabid fans.

but srsly heights, my child choking, creepy preachers entering my life, cults, resurrecting/reanimating/desecrating the dead. religious horror = creepiest for me.

Heights and going up escalators. I’m apparently fine with going down escalators (as long as someone is in front of me). But going up— My knees get weak from fear and I’m holding on for dear life because what if I fall backwards and tumble down to no end ?? It’s so bad. I’m always looking for elevators or stairs and well enclosed spaces and height are a whole other issue but more bearable.

Too much, even for a southerner. There are some things in life we do not need to experience. This is one of them.

I've also done the fall thing too. Glad I don't remember it. Shoulder surgery.

Stinging insects. 1000 paper wasp stings at once. That was fun.

Cluster headaches anyone? Stones? Here you go.

My fear, if there are any left, is being shocked with electricity. Even the novelty toy things that zap you. I am petrified of them.

Electricity is terrifying. My dad is an electrician, mad respect for him, we had to watch a video of someone dying of an arc flash at my former workplace & it sure stuck with me. I just hope all those experiences resulted in some form of gain for you. Insect stings are bullshit, id need hella $ $ $ or arm candy to tolerate that.

Mine did too. But why would he show you the arc incident? I guess some dad's think it's better to show us to toughen us. Some things like a theoretical warning would suffice.

I'm sure I've endured more than anyone's fair share of attrition. Whatever it means, I hope it's not all for nothing.

A phobia I've been having since childhood is to be stuck undergorund in a very small cavern where I can't move.

Also large predators that may come at you from below underwater, or looking at the distance underwater and seing something appear from the haze.

Megan is Missing might freak you out in that regard. The last scene where she's buried alive in a barrel with her rotting best friend in a reverse bear trap, begging her killer from underground to be his gf, suck his dick etc. it was the most horrifying scene I've ever seen

meaninglessness

other than that, i’m not scared of much.

I'm not scared of heights, but after climbing regularly over my roof and other heights, I have finished by developing a very strong feeling of inverse vertigo, which happens when I'm at the top of something and looking up at the sky, and feeling that if I could end up falling upward somehow and there would be nothing to stop me. It's a very strong purely physical feeling and it can be crippling.

I am terrified of heights. Ironically, part of my previous profession was climbing a 100' ladder truck. Training was extending the ladder at about 70* degrees straight up, full extension, climbing all the way up, extending one leg over the top rung and wrapping the top 2 rungs between your legs, letting go of the handrails, and leaning out over the top with arms extended over your head. That gets the butterflies going, but what really gets you is what nobody considers at first - the gears for the turret that turns the ladder on the truck has a gear set that turns it, which allows the ladder to turn back and forth appropriately 5 foot 2.5 foot each direction, along with the typical up and down motion normal with the leverage and flex associated with any ladder. I had the same butterflies every single time. I dreaded it and loved it at the same time.

😱

I rode the velocicoaster at Universal Studios and I said never again

Funny, I have all the same ones as you (plus one more). blackphase here


Snakes have always been a big one for me. It's the slither, I can't handle it. Lizard's, no problem, it's just that damn slither! If I see a snake, i'll spend the next few weeks very paranoid that they are in places like my car or my bed.


I have a really deep phobia of needles and knives. The thought of anything penetrating through my skin into my insides, I don't like that. I've always had an irrational fear of being stabbed. I am terrified of hospitals cause of my fear of needles, and universe forbid I ever need a surgery, I couldn't ever do that. It feels wrong. In my eyes it's torture. If they didn't sedate you, it is technically torture and it doesn't sit well with me. Luckily I have strong bones, haha. I can't watch Dr shows on TV, I don't like seeing insides or people being given needles. Visiting people in the hospital who have an IV in them, I can't look at that or I wil get sick.


I also do not like heights, but that fear dosen't seem to plague me as much because I have more control over it. I just avoid situations where I would be at an uncomfrotable height.


The other big one for me, is the dark. Especially being alone in the dark. I have never felt safe on Earth, I remain in constant awareness of my surroundings due to this. When it is dark, and I lose my sense of sight, I feel extemely unsafe. I am less paranoid if there are people with me, but if I am alone, even at home, I am in constant state of fear.

Great minds fear alike 😂

How are you Black? Good to see you again …. How’s life treating you? ❤️

I have a lot of energy, it's the only way I can relax. I am also a very reactive person, weed helps me think things through better before just reacting. When I'm high things don't phase me the same as they do when I am sober. I found out in the last 2 years that I am Autistic, I think the weed helps calm some of my Autistic tendencies. My senses get overwhemled easily, the weed offsets that.


I live in Canada, weed is legal here.

My leeb ex thing with Asperger's said weed is all that works for him.

Being trapped is my biggest fear like locked in a small room or buried alive in a coffin 😬
