I have a massive fear of growing up old and having no purpose in life. D:

I have Leporiphobia. :/ Among "normal" fears that is.

freakinghaterabbits.

The Enchanted Tiara 06-06-2010 10:22 PM

I'm afraid of pretty much everything, but here's one of mine . . .

I still do it anyway, but it freaks me out every time I have to plug or unplug something. Occasionally I get sparks and I'm always afraid of the day I will be electricuted by it.

Reptile 06-06-2010 10:31 PM

I'm scared of balloons and I don't know why.

Elvilla 06-06-2010 11:13 PM

@the enchanted tiara- That is a logical fear and it one I do not possess. When I was a child, I ended up sticking my tongue on an extension cord (the end where you plug something in) and it was plugged into a wall. I ended up frying my tongue but I don't think I should fear it.

If someone was afraid of dead skin cells, I would pity them. They'd be in a near-constant state of fear, seeing as how dead skin cells are all around you.

We're constantly breathing dead skin cells. xD No one tell them that though, please.

I'll be sure not to. My lips are officially sealed.
Although now I'm disgusting myself thinking about it. >_>

Hermes 06-07-2010 04:59 AM

What, you're afraid of the constant dust of death drifting through your body?

Aisteach 06-07-2010 05:50 AM

Fear of being tickled to death.

Yes. I do.
But, it's for good reason, as being tickled until my lungs felt hot and about to explode was the method of choice by elementary school bullies.

THIS PHOBIA IS COMPLETELY RATIONAL.

No. I'm just grossed out that someone else's dead skin is up my nose.

Strangely, I'm not afraid of death O.O
Though, when I think about it I get sad thinking of how my family and friends will react but... Death in itself doesn't scare me. Strange, huh?

So... Strange phobias? Well, I have a phobia of badly humiliating myself in public and I actually had a full blown panic attack at school once when they asked us to wear face paint for a play. I don't know why, but the face paint just set me off. I suppose It's because back then I was very self conscious and I was worried the face paint would make me look like an idiot and everyone would hate me... I know, I know... I'm not making any sense...

I also have anxiety so lots of other things set me off; thunder storms, bugs, dolls, puppets, being left alone, the dark... etc.
I'm such a dork xS

Detrunorm 06-07-2010 10:22 AM

The sound of someone scratching their nails on certain materials. Like, jeans. That noise. When I hear it, I actually lash out; I can't control myself. I just hit people if I hear it to get them to stop. xD And, also, I went through a phase for a few months of being terrified of windows. I had my curtains closed, and if there was a window behind me, I'd run out of sight of it.

MidnightWolve 06-07-2010 03:31 PM

I have a fear of stairs. And a growing one at that. I'm always afraid that I will fall backwards on a flight of stairs, and trip on the way down...And conscidering a family member just fell down the stairs and nearly killed herself, that fear has grown even more.

THANKS A LOT.
I'm never gonna breathe or drink again. -_-

\sarcasm
In case it's not blatantly obvious already.

Hermes 06-09-2010 07:13 AM

Now, air is dirty. Water is dirty. All that's left is food. It used to be stardust. That's cool I guess.
But then again, everything was stardust, by that definition.
We're all stars!

Kid Disaster 06-09-2010 06:16 PM

What a cosmic way of looking at things!

We can make food disgusting, too, though. Plants grew out of manure. Insta-gross. And if you're eating animals, sea creatures swim around in their own waste, and no matter what kind of meat you're eating, it's all muscle. Which is gross.

Kole_Locke 06-09-2010 07:44 PM

Arachnophobia is an interesting one, and it's also a movie about one man's fear of spiders or rather arachnids. It's one hell of a movie, and after an experience like that I would be afraid of spiders as well. I know miss muffit was who was sitting on her tuffet eating her curds and whey LOL!!

Not to mention you never know what kind of stuff could be lurking within your food. Just think about what a tape worm is for a minute.

I already have a fear of parasites. You don't need to remind me.
It's one of the main reasons I don't eat pork. My biology teacher showed the class a slide of a piece of pork that was infected with worms. I guess it's a good thing I've never liked the taste.

gamer~goddess 06-10-2010 05:13 AM

Two big ones for me. The first being extremely afraid of spiders. I actually found a bunch of spiders living under a vent in my apartment about a week ago and started hyperventilating. I was so freaked out.

I am also afraid of space. Like when I look up at the night sky to watch fireworks or something, I feel like I'm going to fall into the sky. It also makes me feel like our world is very small compared to the vastness of space. It's very uncomfortable. :(

anineph 06-10-2010 08:00 AM

i'm afraid of hights. in of itself that's not odd. but i'm REALY scared o hights, i mean, who else would look at the ground after a growth spurt and get dizzy from it... ? :) of course, the higher it is, the worse. and ironically i love mountain climbing.

Hermes 06-12-2010 06:21 PM

Don't scare me off pork. I love me some pork. :( Just cook it properly?
