Can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet but have a phobia of bees and wasps.

Don't know why.. I've never been stung but it's the fear of it

Not found of spiders either to be honest!

Yeah I do have that whole bee/wasp thing too. I can deal with them but hate the idea of getting stung! Heights are not my friend either. I have mild vertigo.

being touch around the whole neck area unexpectantly.

totally fine when i'm in control of the situation but otherwise i'm reduced into a ball.

**Xavi6** · 20-02-2008, 01:05

Heights. Why anyone would voluntarily go up high I don't know. Even looking out of my bedroom window i get the sweats.

Live fish. I'm not kidding here.

No problem with them when they're in a bowl or whatever, but lakes and the ocean are out of the question.

They can't live on land, we can't live underwater - nature has no intention for us to be anywhere near the damned things!

I am terrified of wasps (but not bees) its not even the getting stungy by them I just hate them being near me. I tense up and panic and as soon as I get the chance I run.

Walking up stairs, weird on I know. Its not heights and its not just stairs as I can walk down them fine.

Deep water, I am a good swimmer but as soon as the water gets more than 10ft I'm out of there. Its also more lakes and the sea than swimming pools as I can see whats under the water in a pool.

The ocean for want of a better word. Like the open sea with no land visible. I've been on a few long haul boat/ship journeys (mainly from Scotland to Scandinavia) and literally have to be sedated so I won't have a panic attack during the journey. I can swim fine though, and don't even mind swimming at the beach etc but I'm reduced to hysteria when confronted by open sea-eque water

All types of spiders, rodents, blood, injections, needles, dentists/doctors

Beerlao · 20-02-2008, 12:29

Cockroaches

incidentally, there's not many a funnier sight than seeing a wasp wreak havoc on the Tube in London

CorsetRibbons · 20-02-2008, 13:35

Dish cloths. I can't stand them. Everytime I see one I invisage millions upon millions of germs crawling allover them. I can't go near one without thick rubber gloves on.
*shudder*

this one for me.
if ya want to see what panic looks like touch my neck, even a scarf around my neck freaks me out.

Bombleswizzum · 20-02-2008, 14:12

Bugs that burrow under the skin! yuck...

I nearly got sick watching Apocalypto when they were forcing those insects into their wounds! Great film though.... (not the same thing but still yuck!)

I'd say so. I know a lot of people who hate moths so it's much the same I'd imagine....
