Phobia Thread (the Return)

[Pale Horse]

With so many new members, I thought I would bring back this thread to see how a new version of an old idea could be interpreted)

I have other reasons, but only a select few get to see them.

So what scares any of you?

Snakes?
Insects?
Rats?

Anything else?

Darkness? :eek:
Mods? ;)

Anything?

Well, Im in a battle between snakes and rats...I think it'll be rats, cause I've handled snekes before pretty darn well.............dead.J/K, but rats is mine.

Dictatorship.

Naw, not really. There have been a handful of benevolent dictators throughout history.

No extreme phobias, I don't think.

Here at the Raven I think I suffer from Potophobia- Fear of alcohol...


Actually it's drowning

[wolfgang]

I'm sort of like Atilla. I don't suffer much from any kind of phobia, though I don't like to....feel slimey stuff like zalamanders or frogs, but Im still cool with them. But its really sort of luck that I don't suffer seriously form any phobia, cause my mother's family are very likely to suffer from "afraid of hights" phobia.

[swords]

I can tolerate the rats the most...problably.

Yes, 00 makes sure we all drive home save and hopes we all don't humiliate ourselves.;)

[swords]

See, I meant to say "safe" so Im a prime example of humiliation. Don't drink and type...

[bob]

I personally hardly found any of the phobias that scary; they werent really intended for that just to disgust people seems to be the point.

[Coldfyre]

Ostriches.

[Canyon]

Spiders! Every time I see the beginning of Raiders, I flinch. :(

[Yolegoman]

Not to afraid of any animals, or anything like that.

I don't like centipedes and milipedes (why does anything need so many legs?), but I wouldn't say I had a phobia of them.

Some of my friends have pet rats and they're lovely! Spiders don't bother me unless they catch me unawares, but the same goes for moths too. I don't mind snakes at all, although I've never been up close and personal with any poisonous ones, so maybe I'd feel differently then...

I'm slightly claustrophobic I suppose, although it's not small spaces that bother me, but being trapped in amongst a crowd of people. It's probably because I'm short (shut it Finn! :p), so at concerts and stuff I always get smacked around the head with people's elbows/cigarettes/drinks - not to mention being treated to close-ups of sweaty armpits... :mad:

Westford, I can totally understand where you're coming from as I am of the modest height of 5ft 2"! I went to a festival at the weekend in my home city of Bristol and stayed for the concert at the end. After we had gotten out of Ashton Court, the Police were only letting so many people over the bridge and I whilst waiting I felt slightly claustraphobic, so can sympathise with you there. ;)
