    No horror movies here, just a spirit afraid of darkness. For good reason maybe I always want to see the brightness and light.

    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.

    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?

    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
