Oh my yes. I've been tortured by those too!

They sneak up under your covers and when you finally fall asleep... they get you!

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.

When I saw the exorcist, me and my brother laughed our heads off throughout the film, my dad looker over at us and said 'this was scary when it first came out', we laughed even harder of course but still, how times change

Its usually because its cold that gets me

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! :o

It isn't a phobia, but it used to be scary for me to walking in the water at the beach, because id be afraid of things being in the sand which is can't see because of the water, like conefish and stonefish hurting me.
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
