    Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Disorder.

    Donald Sutherland suffered badly with that years ago.

    But like, it'd be better to have a fear of it than not have a fear of it, wouldn't it? (That sentence made the word "it" too many times).

    Of course Aoifey ;) If I was still single I would be wary of it too...

    being sick sucks, but marvel at the wonder of the body as it ejects the protectile vomit 4 feet away, it takes the suckiness out of it :p

    yeah maybe a bit of that too - better check the difference; may be that

    Bipolar is another one a lot of these celebs tend to have been diagnosed with. i can understand Sutherland's social phobia i think, you get yerself in a bit of a dilemma in finding fame imagine everyone recognizing you, n you not them its a bit odd like that

    Snakes

    Don't know what the phobia term is, might read up on it now
    But always with the snakes, shivering right now just picturing them

    Found it already for you!
    I feel your pain! Can't handle them at all!

    Ophidiophobia or Snakeophobia

    Massively. I constantly have this horrible image in my head of snakes slithering around me. Seeing one on the TV has me close to panic attacks! I can't touch the floor, can't close my eye, completely freak out. I've punched people in reaction to seeing images of snakes before. In fact even talking about them gives me the above sensation. I just freak.

    I'm thinking it has something to do with growing up in Botswana and finding snake skins in my back garden and refusing to outside at night ever since. Apparently one of my friends remembers me as a kid in floods of tears when a snake was found at school once.

    All my friends know about this now to the point that they move away from me before even mentioning the creatures!

    Sooo..... Your biggest fear would be some guy you never met before, coming up to you in a hospital with a bloodstain on his bandaged arm and wanting to talk about the amount of blood the nurses just took from him using a GIANT needle! :pac: :pac: :pac: Would you run for your life?

    i have a phobia of crap threads


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭Chickaroo


    Elevators, I refuse to get in one if there are more than 2 ppl in it, I don't want them using up all that air if we get stuck!! I only use them when there is no stairs option and kinda hyperventilate til I get to my floor!!

    I am always having nightmare where I am in an elevator and the cable snaps and it bombs to the floor, I always wake up before the impact though.....man I hate that dream :(
