    Me? Equinophobia I'm afraid of horses. Horribly afraid of these frightening wannabee centaurs.

    Spiders and insects in general.

    Other people's leg hair too. Ewe!

    Actually looking back on what I've written, I'm such a pansy.

    I'm sure you lot have worse ones.

    Aye?

    I'm afraid I will not be able to find After Hours with all its name changes!

    Tomatoes - just when they are in the round format, love all tomato based food.

    Seaweed - I don't think that's irrational because when I'm swimming in the sea it looks like a horrible creature & I wear glasses so I can't tell what it is...UUUGH!! (obviously I don't wear glasses whilst ag snamh)

    All phobias are odd, irrational fears.

    I'm afraid of butter and people pinching the skin on the backs of their elbows.

    I used to be afraid of pregnant women, terrified of them!
    But my time in Australia cured it, heavily pregnant women on the beach a lot sorted me right out

    I'm kinda like that only around HEAVILY preggers women. Frightning.


  • Registered Users Posts: 699 ✭✭✭ashyle


    same here fago, I do be afraid they'll break! Also phobia of getting pregnant :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 854 ✭✭✭JangoFett


    The beaches offered all the stages of pregnancy so I dealt with it
    I was petrified of pregnant women, couldn't be in the same room as them! I had to explain it to several pregnant women who I now think are lovely and beautiful, not in THAT way!!

    Feet and maggots. I dont mind spiders or worms or any other creepy crawly, but maggots push me over the edge.

    Feet are just gross. Hate when people point something out to my on their foot. I pretend to look. And I'll knock you flat out if you touch mine!

    I use to have a fear of people touching my back. Have no idea where that came from. Got over it about 5 years ago and now i love my back being touched.

    He he mate of mine used to have that. He tried one of them solphadine capsules with powder inside.

    He tried for ages trying to swallow it with water, but ended up biting it open, chewing it and vomiting from the awful taste.

    All ove my shoes no less.

    I would use a soluble painkiller which I hate the taste and I have been known to vomit from some same goes for vitamins the ones that dissolve in water

    anything else would have to be crushed into a fine powder with a yogurt (which I heard is not good because pills have a coating that is only suppose to work when it gets to lower intestine )

    You seem to be listing a few of my fears! I've had dreams where teeth would fall out. I'm afraid of falling over too, in case I smash my teeth. But then again, I've an obsession with my teeth, brushing and flossing several times a day. I can't stand being around pregnant women, but I know theres nothing wrong with it and its just down to a fear of getting pregnant. I can't even watch the Clear blue ads without diving for the remote! And don't even talk to me about feet..

    Thennn theres the food. I'm vegan because I'm afraid of everything that could be in stuff that we don't know about, and even picky with the most basic of food elements :(

    Guys I think I need psychiatric help....

    I can't swallow pills but I don't actually believe painkillers like Panadol etc. work so I'd never take 'em anyway! My mam always whinges at me for not taking medication but fcuk it, I'm gonna get better anyway and chewed up painkillers are nasty!
