    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!

    It does sound funny to us,but I am sure they would not have made the list if it had not happened to someone somewhere.
    And to that person it is a very serious thing because it would have made living a normal life a bit of a chore,especially fear of everyday (what we call normal objects)

    We had a camp out for my daughetrs birthday and one of her friends is afraid of mustard. To the point that she almost cried when 1 of the boys squirted it on her.

    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.
