Old house basements especially without any light.
Joe
Joe,
Me too.
Basements without lights and alone.. Eeeeeeeeek.
Must be too many horror movies:).
Firm,
For some reason I have been like that since I was a kid. My mother and even little sister have the same thing. It is kind of weird when you think about it.
Glad I am not the only one lol
Joe,
We have never had basements in any of our houses.
Did you have some sort of bad experience in one,maybe along with your sister?
I am 31 and my little sister is 17.
As far as basements, I do not know what it is but Darkness and basements, I do not know what to tell you.
I remember as a teenager turning on all the lights as I was going down stairs and bringing my dog down with me whenever I had to go down. It must be deep seeded from something, Maybe from family? Or something else. Not sure.
I think somebody has been watching too many scary movies lolQuote:

Rejection
Me not being worthy of people
I also used to be terrified of looking at windows/mirrors at night, because I was afraid I mite see something looking in. (I had to walk around the house when I leave my room at night with my head down to avoid looking at windows/mirrors lolz)
Its weird, my fears tend to be more social than physical :s
Speaking of strange... now that you mention it... sometimes, while lying in bed in the darkness, I start imagining that there is a deadly poison snake like a ten foot Cobra, at the foot of the bed and it is starting to slither up, up, up just looking for the best place to bite me. Then I start telling myself, reassuing myself that there is no possible way that could happen. Then, I scream real loud and climb on top of my wife shaking her and screaming, "Snake! Help! Snake! Snake! She jumps up and starts hitting me with a shoe and then she pulls the covers all the way back and we don't find a snake and then we go to sleep. With the light on.
Anyone know if fear of deep water and the ocean even just a deep pool go away if or when you learn how to swim?? Cause when I was a little girl I would be afraid of a bucket half full of water. I don't know how to swim.
And I share the fear of lonely dark basements and attics and just the dark.
I don't know if to call it phobia or just fear, but I get really nervous when I have to be amongst many people especially if I have any attention of a big crowd. I am not completely phobic of small tight spaces but I don't like them.
I have a fear of walking down the street or alley at night and have someone unknown following me and/or grabbing me from the back.
And sometimes, depending on where or when, I fear open spaces.
excon... do you mean you live in Seattle, WA?? If so, do you know you're only about 200 or so miles away from me?? By the way I like Seattle a lot, just that whenever I go it's rainy or cloudy. Oh and one of my other fears is to never get to see sunshine again.Quote:

Maybe not the deep oceans,but yes she goes swimming in the shallow waters nearer to the beach.
I wouldn't call my uneasiness in complete darkness a phobia either, it just makes me uncomfortable and I am not the sweating panic attack type when it comes to basements either.It just is an uneasiness.
I second your thoughts on dark alleys and walking alone at night too.:eek:

How about Dumasaphobia - fear of stupid people
My boss has a fear of bananas. I was told this by another co-worker. I now pack one for lunch everyday and keep it on my desk. She has avoided my area for several weeks.
I have a form of claustrophobia. It's not the small place so much, I could get stuck in an elevator by myself and be fine, but if the elevator is crowded, I am miserable. I hate the feeling of having someone breathe down my neck.
Serious as a heart attack! Sometimes it's Scorpions.Quote:

Is there anyone out there who has a phobia of being asked about phobias?
Oh well! I am sure that person will be too far away to answer.. no harm in asking though.;)
Probably anyone on this site that hasn't answered this question yet! LOL;)Quote:

No horror movies here, just a spirit afraid of darkness. For good reason maybe I always want to see the brightness and light.
Joe
The dark is good, I can see all the bad things in the light
albear, I see your point sweet, really I do!
Oh my gosh.. after reading this thread... ill be having nightmares about little mechanical bugs trying to drill off my toenails. Thanks startover. Lol :)
I don't think my degree of fear would be considered a phobia, but I do fear getting old. Id rather die now as a teenager.
I'm afraid of people not listening to me when I have something important to say...
Not living up to my potential...
Oh and that scene from The Exorcism of Emily Rose where she is on the floor and her body is deformed looking and stiff... anyone know what I'm talking about? That creeps the heck out of me.
The exorcist terrified me when I watched it, but I think id be okay if I saw it now. Lol.
I guess I could say I have, well maybe had, a phobia of demon possession.
Thalassophobia... absolutely TERRIFIED of the ocean/sea.
I can put my feet in for a minute or so but that's it, then the fear overcomes me.
ME TOO!Quote:

Is the dislike of something the same as the fear of it? I don't like crowded places, but it isn't as if I will refuse to get into a crowded elevator because I fear it.
Em,
I think fear and dislike is something and phobia is something totally different.
Phobia's would hinder a person who has it from functioning normally in certain situations.
So when those mechanical bugs come to me, and I can't sleep because of them, that is a phobia!! Right?
;)... maybe...
Thanks Firmy... thanks a lot! :oQuote:

When I was much younger id be afraid of scorpions/spiders crawling up from the crack in between the wall and my bed lolz
Fear of spiders is mine. Didn't see it on the list.
Pogonophobia- Fear of beards, OK not the fear OF them, The fear of losing Mine(tanned except where it is) :)
Ommetaphobia- Fear of eyes( I don't look in peoples eyes much,its real enough)
Ergophobia- Fear of work( really needs no explanation... lol):)
Catoptrophobia- Fear of mirrors( especially in the AM)
Barophobia- Fear of gravity(in the later years of life... HA)
Arithmophobia- Fear of numbers (The checkbook balance at the end of a pay period)
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.( when it pulls the dentures down with it:)
Just a few of those foolish fears that we all live with, to an extent... :P
YouTube - John Mayer-Gravity
