Ohhh i have a phobia like out of no where everythig is just gonna go completely black! and idk...
Ever saw the movie 1408? Or read the book?

that movie was awesome, one of the best thrillers I've seen in ages,(not better than the 28 weeks later though), the one thing I didn't get was the random guy who kept popping up , u know the one I mean

[JoeCanada76]

Anything that is small and crawls. Besides dogs, cats and little babies lol lol lol

Old house basements especially without any light.

Joe,
Me too.
Basements without lights and alone.. Eeeeeeeeek.

Must be too many horror movies:).

[JoeCanada76]

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

[firmbeliever]

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?

[JoeCanada76]

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.

You watch horror movies? Oh my goodness, I haven't seen one in oh probably 5 or 6 years... I would pee my pants!

[cal823]

Hmmmm my biggest fears rite now would probably be
Deadlines
Failure
People learning my secrets/shames etc
Meeting my long distance girlfriend face to face
Tall buildings (when you look up and they are swaying in the wind its scary!)
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.

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.

excon

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.

Met,
I know someone who used to fear water,but went for swimming lessons for beginners and from there went onto be a water lover.
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:

Mag!
Are you serious..? :rolleyes:

[Depressed in MO]

Arachnaphobia and Clusterphobic (sp?)

[Emland]

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.

[magprob]

Mag!
Are you serious...??:rolleyes:

Serious as a heart attack! Sometimes it's Scorpions.

[startover22]

Mag... for me it is some mechanical bug that starts to feel around your toes and drills it's way under your toe nails... then it makes it through your whole body... I don't know what happens after that but I know they are real... at least I start to think it when my mind let's me... WOW, this thread is killing me!

[firmbeliever]

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.;)
