What is your phobia?

[$eye]

My phobia is of docks and shipping yards.

[phil]

im scared of highs and heights.

[dirtyho]

I don't really have a phobia, although I don't like heights much. However my friend Flack has a really strong phobia of clowns, I wouldn't recommend anyone dressed as a clown go near him cos he'll probably smack them.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I would have to go for heights. I'm cool in planes etc etc, but it is when I'm somewhere exposed like the up a huge rickety scaffolding on stilts I get a bit unhappy. It might just be hitting the ground very fast I'm afraid of.

[$eye]

i'm not really a huge fan of ofal either.

[dirtyho]

Offal as is intestines and stuff for eating?
I love that shit

[Lady E]

flack also has an abhorrence of tomatoes. we think this is a sub -phobia to the clowns, as they resemble clowns noses very strongly

si begg cant abide buttons

i hate daddy long legs

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Swimming in the sea and relising your miles out from shore (probably not but it seems like that with nothing much underneath you but fish and darkness).

I don't have any off-the-wall ones.

I am allergic to Emo Phillips though, it's horrible.

[dirtyho]

I didn't know about the tomato thing, but I'll always remember him nearly having a fight with Gary cos he kept teasing him with a clown mask - he really was freaked out by it

[phil]

not liking something is not a phobia, i dont like animal sex but its not a phobia.

[$eye]

i saw a boy (white) eat a whole handful of daddy long legs once.
This is precisely the reason i dispute people when they say that daddy longlegs (craneflies) are poisonous as the boy didn't die from eating them which was a shame as a couple of years later he beat me up for wearing makeup to school.

[dirtyho]

@ Basic - I can relate to the sea thing. I swam out to the buoy off brighton beach one time, a bit pissed and stoned. On the way back realised that the tide was going out and had really helped on the way out... Suddenly I got really panicky and felt sure I wouldn't make it back. Horrible

[$eye]

My friend Al posted a magazine to us the other day that featured quite alot of animal sex.....i've definately got a phobia of that now....
what was in the magazine eh Seye....?
Sufice it to say that there were men with step ladders behind horses and ladies with little doggies.

[grunder]

@$eye yeah i remember that it was colin little ......little fucker...
i have a phobia of the moon if it gets to close i freak out.......

Absolutely. I get that panicky breathing thing goin' on as well which really doesn't help matters. I'm not the strongest of swimmers either. However, it freaks me out thinking about it. I also have a thing about being trapped under floating logs as well as you can't really get out from under them and before you know it you are pretty dead indeed.

[phil]

yer but you dont have a chronic anxiety or fear of a situation that would not be fearful to a person without that phobia.

It isn't uncommon. Mostly all of us react to the moon. Let's face it - it controls the tides, so what does it do to the liquid contained in our bodies?

[$eye]

i got caught in a rip once....
aarrggh maaate....had to put the old hand up and get rescued by the old life guard..."aaarrrrggghh maaaatte, looks like another pom in the rip mate"
"yup maaaatte, that's a pom alright, look at the colour of him"
"best go and get him then maaate eh"
"yup, you goin or shall i maaaate?"
"I got the last one maaaate"
"Alrighty maaate see you in 5 maaatee"

Yeah, I guess. Most of the things here are mild fears or dislikes. I did have a phobia of lifts, but I over came that. However, it was uncontrollable for so long - I don't actually remember how I overcame it. I used to really think I was going to die any time I went near one, and would insist on taking the stairs or on the occassion I thought I would be OK I would bolt out just before the doors closed. It was a pain the arse visiting my aunt in the high rises though.

[$eye]

MY FAMILIES' PHOBIAS:
My dad's got a phobia of wolves and moths.
My Nan....she's dead now but she used to not like dinosaurs.
My mum's got a phobia of Paul Daniels.

Well my brother eh.....i never knew i had one ....what's he like?
i've always imagined having a brother...he'd be sleek and well dressed with a nice car and a lovely high flying wife (she'd be a piolet see)....he'd have great hair and a big house in Danbury (by the lakes....he'd fish there sucsessfully)
In reality.....all i got is grund.

[$eye]

the "My Families Phobias" section was 100% true....

[$eye]

Bobby Davro's dead isn't he?

[tsr_tomas]

Phobia:
*Waking up in Thailand with a condom up my arse.
*Idiot birds that aims with there shit.
*My c64 comming to life and walks away.

this sounds more like bad nightmares.

i think i should stop posting now

I met a mate of a mate who is a guitarist in a punk band - when people would pass out at parties, they'd ease down their trousers, get a condom, spit in it and then poke it up their arse with a pencil...

[KaOz]

bad sex

[invisibleplanet]

cockroaches

once after a monsoon, the streets were flooded and there were ferry-junks everywhere...and on top of the water, was a floating mass of indestructible cockroaches, swimming nose to tail.

[Atarythm]

I friend of mine has phobia of cats... Source of anger, as I couldn't understand this because I lived since I'm born with cats. But now that I have seen her reaction with cats, I understand...

[jukka]

big hairy spiders

[karitek]

my sister still looks in the toilet everytime before she uses it to see if she sees a snake, since as a kid, she saw a film in which one came out of the toilet. oddly enough, her best friend at school has the exact same phobia for the exact same reason.

i cant handle nipple rings ever since i saw this film, "Nowhere," in which someone bites them out of their partner. Everytime i see nipple rings, i immediately see that scene again, and feel my nipples being ripped. not very pleasant at all.

[karitek]

oh, and of birds (especially turkeys - very scarly creatures when they puff up). this is due to when my neighbor's pet goose bit me in the ass (drawing blood) when i was a kid. they really freak me out.

[tsr_tomas]

grobelaar: thats it, i´ll never visit a punk-party again... hehe.

lets just hope they don´t put you in a big box and ship you of to thailand.

[MUX]

didnt phil have a 'pecked by a goose poll'?

im scared of :
Hulk
Eremature-Pjaculation
Eurotrance

and my father made a big laugh of it....grrrr

[LEFTHANDLOU]

Seafood, I can't keep that shit down.

I thought I saw you get a bit of panic on your face when we got in the elevator at that mall in glasgow!:D

my phobias:
water and failure.

[Mui]

heights and spiders (any spiders, big/small/rubber/dead)....icky

[aleks]

snakes...i even have got a hard time watching them on the telly. and probably the only animal i wouldn´t eat, there just disgusting...

[tjackalko]

surveilence cameras really freak me out. And people who respond to my fear with: well if you haven´t got anything to hide, why do you care?. Big brother watching me is my phobia allthough I know they can´t be watching everyone, and watching me wouldn´t lead to something they don´t allready know

[Mirsha]

I have a mild phobia of phones which is getting better over time.

[goinz]

humans

[amble]

i've got a phobia of blood circeling through transparent hoses or pipes - actually everywhere where you can see it moving.

i'm also scared of blood removal at the doctors which is a bit weird cos i have no problem at all with getting an injection. it's just the fear of seeing the blood streaming into the squirt.

i have no problems seeing blood though. lakes of it if it makes you happy.

i think i'm also a bit afraid of heights, but it's not really a phobia, more lke a respectful relation.

[mr franks]

i can be phobic of small areas as my brother locked me in a gym locker when i was 6, although it only effects me if i am in a certain state of mind.

although i have never been in this situation, i think i would be also phobic of people who stick condoms up peoples arses while they were passed out.

i also used to find people with beards uncomfotable in my childhood, (a bit like masks)but after growing my own (after seeing grunders most wonderful beard) i have overcome that. (but i no longer have a beard)

@grunder - how is the beard?

[Small Paul]

Is no-one scared rigid by spiders? I know its a bit of a boring, run of the mill phobia but I'm shit scared of the creepy little fuckers, can't abide by them.

[Small Paul]

Oh yeah, it seems that someone is scared of spiders, silly me. But I've developed a new one after my bosses party last weekend cuz it happened to me. it is, caught in a room where 90% of the people there are doing dance routines to a Steps cd and encouraging us sane people to join in. I had to go outside and re-assert my masculinity by drinking by a fire that had been built. I still shudder when I think of such a horrendous ordeal, ergh.

You probably did!! I'm still not 100% whilst in the bloody contraptions. It doesn't help when they are glass either. That is why I was probably incoherently chatting to divert my attention. I think that was how I was helped in the first place.

[goinz]

I hate spiders, too!

[Irrungenwirrungen]

The sound of sand being trodden into steps-
Or the sound of sand being trodden/ground into any concrete structure.
Its more of a 'really goes througn me' experience rather than a phobia.

Phobia- death.
One which will probably spark off loads of how can you be frightened of that replies.

homer simpson has that too.

[FiST]

i have a massive fear of cotton wool, just the idea of it touching me freaks me right out. dunno where this phobia came from but i cannae get over it.

my mate has a fear of coat hangers, he's like 6 foot sumthing but go near him with a coat hanger and he screams like a five year old who's dropped their ice cream.

[actionjetzon]

never heared of a fear of coat hangers.......hehe funny anyhow, but otherwise its scary

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Most phobias are formed (as well as most things in life) in your early formative years. If something as inanimate as a coathanger frightens you it is because something similar happened when you were too young to reason and has left an etch on your memory which acts as a trigger for this all-consuming, irrational fear. You may need to try hypnotic regression, but if it ain't that bad (as mentioned earlier) it ain't a phobia. It is more something that you dislike, like Esther Rantzen or standing on dog shit.

[actionjetzon]

thats why it could be happened some scary things with that coat hanger. don´t wanted to go that deep

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

There are many therapies for this. The main one being facing your fear. It worked for me, although I still think about and consciously try and put it out of my mind

[goinz]

I also have a phobia with knobs on shirts. I hate chemise with knobs. They disgust me.

[mr.lizard]

i had a phobia about jewellery when i was little

i still get funny about wigs and false nails

[aleks]

i am also phobic of empty beer bottles...

i used to have a fear of snakes caused by having a dream where u think youve woken up, but you havent of that scene out of indiana jones with all the snakes on the floor in my room when i was a kid. i overcame this dramtically cos i was really shit scared, couldnt even watch them on tv, never mind touch them. my friend who does zoology at uni took me to see the snakes and after a while i got used to them and ended up having a python round my neck for about half an hour and didnt want her to take it back. they are so relaxing to hold and if im stressed out we just get a couple of snakes and sit with them for a bit! cured!

[aleks]

i would never touch them...i get panik attacks, start sweating and being hysteric and stuff like that if one them bastards gets near me. i am such a sissy... :(

[jukka]

i can admit that______the panic attacks/sweeting and that you are a sissy !!!

[dirtyho]

Snakes are really nice to eat, they have snake restaurants across SE Asia, the snakes are in tanks at the front, I have eaten it many times. My uncle had a 12 course snake banquet in Thailand, the finale was a toast where they brought a live snake for each person, slit it open and removed the gall bladder and still beating heart, then you had to swallow the gall bladder, put the heart in a shot of rice spirit and drink it while still beating - my uncle is very adventurous with food but said he only drank it because they would have lost face if he didn't and it was a business dinner. He said you could feel it beating all the way down your throat!

[jukka]

eerrrkkk...i would never get it down mmy throat

i certainly wouldn't. i really like this sound, allways did. i even recorded a few samples with mic - gotta use them finally.

i also liked the sound chalk was doing when scraping over the tableboard back in school and terrified my classmates with it from time to time.

i personally have a phobia of sliced skin, flapping, and the flesh, blood (and particularly, the veins) inside. i honestly can't watch casualty. twice i had to go and lie down in the middle of an episode.

i would be appaling in an emergency, fainting all over the place instead of administering first aid etc.

must be more brave

[Sheridan]

has anyone seen jackass the movie where the camera man passes out while filming johnny knoxville getting paper cuts??

I have a similar fear to bitconductor. but for me it is compound fractures that bother me. especially after seeing joe theisman (quarterback for the washington redskins) get his leg practically snapped in half back in the 80's. and then seeing the footage of henrik larsson getting a double tibia compund fracture. pretty nasty stuff.

maybe the fear came came about after seeing nightmare on elm st.
there is one scene where the main girl is on the phone and a big nasty tongue comes out of the mouth piece and starts licking her. after seeing that as a kid I had a hard time using a phone for a little while.

[platinumray]

yeah phones are a big one for me even though i work in a phone room selling crap. it's ok for me to talk to strangers but talking to people i know is very difficult. maybe it's because i hate having to entertain people with small talk so they get the impression i don't like them or something. this leads to me feeling i've done something wrong which is bollox so i get all defensive and my phone buddy thinks i'm having a go at them when all i want is to find out where and when. phones disturb me. they're just not right

[namshub]

magpies and plovers (birds that attack in these parts)

[bitconductor]

@ sheridan i'm phobic of those fractures too. also a scenario where my front teeth get snapped.. like if i went over the handlebars of a bike and hit the gravel with my teeth.

[$eye]

GOD, IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I'VE TURNED SO FUCKIN GAY IT'S UN-FUCKIN BELEIVABLE!!!!

[platinumray]

when i was a nipper there used to be this large crow or raven or something that hung out around my house. this raven didn't fly, instead it walked around really fast. i think it was ultra-intelligent. anyhoo, it used to follow me around and acompany me on the short walk up to my mates house. it would always stay about 2 meters behind me and when i stopped it stopped. it would wait out side my mates gaff until we came out and then it would hang around with us just like one of the boys. that bird scared the shit out of us.
