    Hello x:

    Acrophobia- Fear of heights. And, I'm a pilot, too. Go figure.

    It doesn't bother me INSIDE a building or an airplane. But on the outside of a tall building, or looking out an open window of a tall building, or a balcony... No way!

    Hello again, x:

    I don't like this. I'm finding out that I'm weird. Ok, Ok - before you start - I know YOU people have known that I'm weird for a LONG time, but I'm just finding out.

    I'm also Agoraphobic - Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

    I don't like crowds. I'll go to a game, but I get nervous. I'll avoid crowded restaurants (which could be because I'm too hungry to wait). I absolutely avoid parades and stuff where I'm hemmed in by people. I HATE that.

    I don't like open spaces. I love tunnels. I love country roads that meander with a canopy of trees COVERING the road. I love the rain. I live in Seattle, and I love the cloud cover. I had an MRI recently. I loved it in there.

    OMG. I'm falling apart.

    I find you to be more normal than I thought actually... Thanks for being human. These all apply to me too.
    Now, I have one question, when does it become a phobia? It can't be just because we don't like it... Is it when we realize we are doing something to avoid the scary things?? OR??

    I really hate thinking about large things like space or the ocean. I was looking at a map of america earlier and it freaked me out.

    My 'proper' phobias are fire and being burned, getting hit by cars (I squeal like a girl crossing roads) and wasps.

    Oh my goodness start! Earwigs in you shoes? Ewwwwwwwwww! Haha. I don't have a phobia but I guess I'm afraid of the dark... seriously! It makes me very nervous to be in a room or outside when it is completely dark. I don't like the idea of not being able to see everything... freaks me out.

    I'm afraid of losing control. I'm afraid of dying and hell. I'm afraid of being wrong. I'm afraid of being bad mother. I'm afraid of myself sometimes. Don't like my thoughts. It's like a bad neighborhood--don't go there alone.
