Post Re: Phobias - Any stories?
The big story that I think scared me shitless for weeks will follow this sentence. As in, it's going to start now. Note that I was 11 or 12.

My sister decided it was a good idea to go canoeing, and so we did. I forget what river, but we're like halfway down the river and there's a tree down across the river, and there's only one tiny part where we can get past it. Across this tiny, two foot wide opening is a hugeass spiderweb, which has 4 or 5 green huge ♥♥♥♥ spiders. We ended up beating the ♥♥♥♥ out of it with our paddles, but then we look up while going through it and saw about 40 more of them.

Suffice to say, it was scary as ♥♥♥♥ at the time.

Spiders have made me jump and/or run for my life for quite a few years now.
But after some self control improvement I'm able to tolerate their presence, even though the big ones still make me extremely uncomfortable.

I don't mind tiny spiders, they can climb all over me for all I care.
I don't really mind hairy spiders either, tarantulas are ok.
But any huge spiders without hair or similar insects I can't stand. (Craneflys I'm basically alright with, that camel spider thing you posted is horrible but just seeing a picture of it isn't too bad).

I hate wasps and I can't easily tell them apart from bees so I hate them too.

I don't really like going in the sea but I can handle that one.

That spider has some pink lines on it.
And I think one eye is bigger than the other.

That's about 6 eyes by my count, actually.

The first one gave me the shivers and if I saw it in front of me a little squeal couldn't be avoided.

I have a fear of most flying insects. Why? Because one managed to fly into my room one night and fly right down my ear while I was sleeping. Suffice to say, the buzzing noise was shocking and deafening.

So yeah, now I have a fear of flying insects. Well, only when theyre indoors really.

-Arachnophobia - I can't even stand little spiders. If I see a web or something, I'm fine. I can pick up a box, that could be filled with spiders, and be fine. But if I see a spider I will flip the fudge out and run. It's terrible.

-Fear of large indoor areas - I can't explain this one rationally, but a big empty room will really bother me. I sometimes have nightmarish dreams of my room being really big and me being really really small.

-Fear of deep water
- I hate water when I can't see bottom, and dislike when I can't touch it. If I'm alone I won't even swim. If it's really deep but I have friends or something, I can manage, but I will be uncomfortable.

-Fear of audiences - I can't do stuff in front of people. This encompasses public speaking, acting, or even doing a trick or playing an instrument. I think this has something to do with my intense paranoia.


Thoses are exactly my fears. I can't stand big shiny and rich houses if their rooms are too tall and long and not furnished enough. I'll just get sick and uncomfortable.

I fear spiders but I never panic in front of big ones, only small ones. I find the big ones cool.

Deep water doesn't bother me as long as i'm not in it. I know that when playing Crysis (lol) i can't go into water without freakin out because i can't see the bottom. Same in a bunch of other games like half-life (with gmod). When playing in player made maps, they often have bottom-less water, forcing me to uninstall them only because of that.

And i hate audiences. If i'm in a party and there is too much ppl i don't know around me i'll just keep my mouth shut or go in a more quiet place with the guys (and girls) i know, away from all the others.

And believe it or not, i'm TOTALLY afraid of bombs. When i hear a sound that looks like a bomb falling (when its only just a plane doing stupid tricks) i just run to my basement. I hate even more nukes, they are the worst. I was freakin out when they said the terrorist had chemical weapons of some sort, i was sure they had nukes and stuff and they would blow the hell out of north america.
