[Mini]

arachnophobia.

OMG! i saw a black widow in my tent THIS weekend at camp... Jesus Christ!! It was huge!! damn i was sooo scared that i had to bug spray the entire tent and wrap myself in my sleeping bag. i had one of my friends kill that BEAST. DIE!!!!!

acrophobia, but i love rollercoasters? when i was four, my babysitter accidently dropped me from a tree.. maybe that triggered my fear of heights.

and coulrophobia. on my sixth birthday, my mom hired clowns. they were BIG and scary and they were all PALE white with red nose....ever since that day, i feared clowns.

[LatinaLady]

[AZN_DRAGON]

Eh, I hate having fears. Weaknesses, you know? Everytime I find myself scared to do something, I just do it .. you know, to prove it wrong. I don't like not being able to do some shit, so I do it anyway.

However, I've never been able to conquer my fears of boiling water, heights, or swimming, as lame as that is.

Everytime I try to get any further than the shallow end, my heart pounds like it's gonna break outta my chest, and the blood rushes right outta my face. It's just super-scary.

Everytime I try to get near boiling water or cook with it, I get the same reaction with my heart, but l start to get a little dizzy as well. It's not safe .. that fear must've come from when I was younger, my ma dumped a pan of boiling water from the stove on my arm.

And when it comes to heights ... well, that's just hell for me. I mean .. wow.

Nevertheless, the whole fear aspect really annoys me.

same here; i hate being controlled by my emotions. not nice.


i can't stand heights. at this water park, there was this really huge slide, so i climbed way up and was kind of fine, until i looked down. my legs started shaking, and i felt weak in my arms and stuff. we went up only to find that the electricity had been shut off, so we had to climb back down. my cousin slipped on the stairs and ended up with a huge bruise on her arse. luckily, i didn't sliip, or i might have screamed my head off...

[sweetxsimplicity]

arachnidphobia-
fear of spiders

my aunt is not afraid of anything! its scary..lol xD.

[sweetxsimplicity]

there's this phobia that means fear of long words, but i can't remember what its called. xD

[refreshe]

I'm afraid of spiders, but I'm fascinated by them..
And I'm scared of the dark, even though I sleep in the dark

Er.. lemme see if I can find a site that lists all of them

Fess up, we all have our fears =] Whether it be an irrational fear, aka phobias (kathisophobia? medorthophobia? ), or just fear of losing others. I actually had a xanga post about this..

So, I was thinking about this. What do YOU fear? I fear whales. In all seriousness, I do. I had a dream once, that I was in a HUGE swimming pool, and I was holding on to one of the walls while in the water. All of a sudden, a large shadow loomed beneath me. I knew it was a whale and I was scared as hell. I awoke terrified and feeling achingly empty.

Of course, 'whales' is basically just a tangible representation for my fears of the unknown, as well as being alone. It was the same apprehension felt when lost or alone. Bereft of all feelings and stripped of all emotions, leaving you that uncomfortable void. And then there was fear too. Fear of the unknown.

[xquizit]

Fears? Well starting off with tangible things... I have an intense fear of insects. Bugaphobia. I'm sure theres a phobia for it. Not quite sure what it is. I just think they're the most hideous creatures on the face of the earth. The way it feels when they crawl on you or look at you. The way some of them suck your blood. They're so creepy. But other than that, I'm not afraid of much else.

As for intangible fears. I think I have the same fears as most people... rejection, loneliness, failure... My greatest fear of all is that my parents will never be 100% proud of me. I'm afraid that I will always continue to disappoint them no matter how hard I try or how many accomplishments I make.

Sometimes I fear that I am destined to be alone. I guess my insecurities get the best of me and I fear that people will see all the bad things in me and leave. I strive to be perfect in everything in hopes that I will be accepted among everyone... I'm aware that this is silly considering that no one could possibly be perfect. But I've lost so many important people in my life plus, so many people I've encountered have disliked me for no apparent reason. So I try to be perfect in hopes that this trend doesn't continue for the rest of my life. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be good at everything I do, and I guess part of that comes from my parents. But I'm reaching the point where I'm exhausted, and I feel like I shouldn't have to work so hard to gain everyone's approval. Especially when I'm so nice to everyone I know.

[crazeegirl411]

With the things I can touch, it would be many, many things. Insects, spiders (only thing I know of phobia is arachnophobia ) and it never occured to me that that's probaby pretty much it? Maybe other scary looking things...

Things that are felt would be lonliness (like every other person in the world), and no appreciation. I am appreciation hungered. I'm afraid of myself sometimes...what kind of person I'm turning into, and that leads on to personality issues. I'm scared of a lot of things along the lines, but not death, however.

i'm scared of insects too. i think the phobia for insects are either Acarophobia, Entomophobia, or Insectophobia. i don't know why they have so many different names for it. anyways, i have Acrophobia (fear of heights) and Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) too.

[Note]

i have this fear of yellow colors. it's this kind of a disorder i think but i find yellow kind of creepy. others find it quite funny and sometimes make fun of me bout that. i eather tell them to fuc of or just beat them up.

i also have a fear of stoamch aches, people being disapointed in me, guilt, clowns, dolls, and i fear to blead when i'm to high.

Linking to my other topic, fear is motivation as well I see.

Roxanne - I don't think you really should have to work that hard. You shouldn't have to work yourself to exhaustion like that. You're definitely nice to everyone... but I think the people who's opinions you should care about are the ones you trust. You're nice, and anyone that doesn't accept that should go screw themselves and you need not worry about them.

Grr. wannawritemorebut I can't get my words right. Plus I sound like I'm lecturing. bleh.

Yes, I'm kind of ashamed to admit that a lot of what I do is for acceptance but I guess I don't mind sharing that with you guys.

I do care about the opinions of those I trust the most. Unfortunately, the few people I do trust (i.e. my family and my boyfriend), I'm worried that they don't carry the best opinion of me either. My parents are kind of two ways, at times they're very proud of me, but due to certain mistakes I've made in the past that I can't take back, sometimes they turn on me and make me feel like it's too late. Like no matter what I do or how hard I try, it's never quite good enough for them, especially since I've screwed up so much in the past. As for my boyfriend, its a long story, but lets just say that he rejected me many times before we actually became a couple. He wasn't that good a friend either, and wasn't there for me when I needed him most. He used to treat every one of his other friend much better than the way he treated me... but thats all in the past and he's "changed". Even though we've already been together for over 2 years, sometimes I fear that I'm still not quite good enough for him.

Sometimes I feel really pathetic for feeling this way, but I guess I'm just a really insecure person. I've been through a lot, a lot of things I'm not proud of, and I guess this prevents me from feeling confident or adequate as a daughter, a girlfriend, or a friend.



sidenote wow, this is the most i've ever shared on cb. thanks for creating a "good" topic nas.

[nas]

I would say, they're your parents, they should accept what's done is done. But that's bs cause most parents don't do that. There are times where they make you feel like crap and make you feel regret, but when it comes down to it though, I'm pretty sure they love you and you love them. It hurts a lot when they speak down to you and/or degrade you using your mistakes, but it's something that's gotta be accepted, accept that they'll do that. It's not cause they love you any less... they're probably just as scared as you in you making another mistake.

I don't think I can say anything that will affect you, and it's probably just sht you you're aware of anyway. I guess it's something you'll have to overcome, and I wish you luck & stay strong.

As for your boyfriend.. from what I read, it seems he's not good enough for you I think all that needs is more trust in yourself and in him as well.



-lol.. and this is the most I've contributed as well =D

Read xquizit's post, it's in response to her.

In my opinion, it would suck to have anuptaphobia. That's like always needing someone to be by your side. I like being independent.

[xsw33t_t3mptasia...]
