I have an irrational fear of throwing up. I haven't done so since I was in 3rd grade (is 22 now). Even though I've been sick many times now, I cannot allow myself to get sick. I don't even like seeing it in movies, or when people talk about it. Freaks me out like crazy for some reason. It stinks too because I want to have a kid one day, but the morning sickness part scares me.

I was still pretty new when I got my first warning for posting the same message over and over again in different threads[spamming] and after that, I got scared when there were new messages in my inbox and didn't want to check my mail. Dx
I don't think mods like sending them, they're uber scary. xP
And when mods are in the same thread as me, I feel scared. xP

I'm a bit paranoid about checking my PMs on Gaia, these days... My last two PMs were telling me that I had been banned from a guild. :shock: (Which is because both guilds were closing down/banning everyone for a specific reason.... But that didn't make it any less disturbing to see "You've been banned from...")

I don't know. I'm more paranoid on here about NOT getting PMs and then discovering later that I should've (which has happened before).

ANYWAY. Irrational fear? Insects and arachnids. I'm not even sure what it is about them that scares me, but I completely freak out when I go near them. Or when they come near me. EITHER WAY.

Burnt Biscuits 02-15-2008 03:38 PM

I actually like it when there are mods in my thread, as long as they aren't there to yell at me. They're neat people, and I like talking to them, just not through mps. XD

Maria-Minamino 02-15-2008 03:51 PM

I've had a couple warnings on here because I double posted or because I quoted without using the quote thing. But nothing serious. I freak out though - like - "OMG am I going to be banned or what?" Because I never know if I do something wrong! D: But so far so good - I've never been banned from any site :D

LunaRei SilverBlood 02-15-2008 08:22 PM

Some other members came forward and said the list was unfair and we had learned our lessons but I felt like I couldn't post there ever again and left.

In real life I have an irrational fear of automatic hand dryers. If there isn't one with a button to turn it on I have to dry my hands with paper instead. I think I scared myself by setting one off when I was younger and it was really loud!

I can totally relate about the automatic things. While I don't mind automatic hand dryers or automatic sinks, I haaaaate automatic toilets. I have this fear that it will flush while I'm still using it, and nasty public toilet water will splash up on my butt. I've always hated public restrooms anyways, but I can tolerate it if the toilets are normal ones. But I feel like if I use an automatic one, I'll confuse the censor thing because I don't sit all the way down on the seat, I kind of stand over it, and I figure it's designed to know when someone is sitting and when they stand up. But I won't put my butt on a place where a ton of other people have put their butt, it grosses me out. XD So, if a toilet is automatic, I won't use it. @[email protected] I just end up holding it until I find a place with normal toilets or until I get home. I really hate it, because more and more places are getting those stupid auto toilets.

I have a fear of authority as well. I got detention once in my life (it wasn't my fault) and I bawled my eyes out in class. It was horrible. Also anytime I get a PM from a mod, I start freaking out.

Nacht 02-16-2008 12:37 AM

One of my irrational fears are butterflies. They're beautiful and all, but I kind of panic when they get too close to me. @__<

Ever since getting the PM from a mod on here, I avoid threads that mods have posted in. If I go in a thread and a mod has posted in it, I won't post in it, because I'm afraid they'll quote me and then find something wrong with my post that I didn't know about, which is what happened to me when I got PMed by one. @[email protected] Plus I feel like that particular mod has something personal against me now, and I'm afraid if I screw up anymore I'm going to get banned or something.

Furious 02-16-2008 12:55 AM

I *do* kind of fear getting PM's. Especially when I see they're from mods. And especially after on Gaia I got warned about 'scamming' on a tektek contest (not giving out a prize because there was no winner in my eyes. they all sucked.) I was made to give the prize to someone.

I haven't gotten PM's from mods here. But if I did, I'd be scared XD

Amiiu 02-16-2008 02:17 AM

I actually kind of do have a fear of PMs on Menewsha. Now when I was on Gaia, I always expected it a friend [from real life] or something about the marketplace, but when I'm on Menewsha I don't know anyone that would send me a PM considering I don't have conversations with people much here *is kind of an antisocial person* So whenever I get a PM, I get scared and think 'who is it? DD:'

Moocat 02-16-2008 03:07 AM

T-T That scares me a lot, too.

mystic kiwi 02-16-2008 04:48 AM

I love checking my PMs. I never get anything though so I don't worry about being in trouble or anything like that. I tend to pretty much keep to myself, although on Gaia I've been warned a few times since I tend to throw insults around quite a bit over there.

Marguerite Blakeney 02-16-2008 06:35 AM

I DON'T LIKE EMPTY SPACES...I mean BIG empty spaces. Like, the Pacific Ocean, and outer space itself. Give me a globe and I'll spin it to the Pacific Ocean and freak out feeling like I'm going to fall inside.

I even play with my computer planetarium, Stellarium, from stellarium.org, and like...the big biiiiiiig space of nothing just freaks me out. Even looking at the stars through my actual telescope freaks me out! But yes, those are my two irrational fears: a globe and outer space.

arcrys 02-16-2008 06:57 AM

I have all sorts of irrational fears.

I'm terrified that someone is following me if I walk through a city. This is even worse if it's dark out. I once ran a few blocks so that I would get to by now-ex boyfriend's house quicker and away from the footsteps I kept thinking I heard. I scared some guy in front of me as I ran up behind him.

If the front door isn't locked, or if I'm unsure if it is, I jump at every noise. Even if I know it is just the cats. The really odd noises they make I have to get up and investigate, and I hate hearing the sound of cars outside. Makes me very nervous.

I feel scared of crying, because I was yelled at by my dad for crying when I was a kid. I spent a few years not crying at all, and I still hate the feeling today.

Not being able to breathe fresh air. I don't mean outside-fresh, just not just breathed out air. Which means sometimes I have to position my head awkwardly when lying with my darling so that I won't feel like I'm suffocating. A little fresh air isn't enough, I need to be able to breathe mostly fresh air to not feel like I'm suffocating.

Amuria 02-16-2008 08:27 AM

I get excited when I'm PMed... it means someone noticed me =D. Everyone likes to be noticed sometimes, ne?

Anyways, I have an irrational fear of spiders. I have no clue why. I can't kill a fly, or a beetle, or a cricket that sits in my closet chirping while I'm trying to sleep, or that irritating moth that flutters around my computer screen at night.... but any sort of spider walks by and I FREAK. That's about the only time I ever scream like a little girl and run away.

But I have absolutely no fear of other creepy-crawlies. Roaches don't bother me. I have pet rats and mice, which freaks most people out... It's..... Just... Spiders.

And I have a fear of being completely alone, but I'm pretty sure most people feel like that.

Dirgerus 02-16-2008 08:36 AM

Haha, that's funny.
I haven't gotten any warnings... Yet.. I'm sure I will soon, because no matter where I go, I manage to get into trouble, even on Gaia. It's strange, a lot of people on here come from Gaia or have had one. o.o
Oh yeah, my fears..
Old people.
Hospitals.
Any food over 3 and a half weeks old. o.o

DJ Mango 02-16-2008 04:08 PM

I'm very cautious on this site because there are a lot of rules on the forums. @[email protected]
I mean..why double posting? On gaia you don't get in trouble for double posting.

I've gotten so many warnings from MODS on gaia. xD
lol.
Usually cause of my signature or the words I say in their GD. x3
I got a warning to get banned because my signature was inappropriate and I've also gotten warnings of the space my signature takes up...the next time I go over the limit I have to pay 10k of gold. And I'm not willing to take that chance. No way-no how.
lol

Moei-Chan 02-16-2008 06:55 PM

I haven't had and warnings, pr PMs in general yet either! I hope to never get a warning! As for PMs the only kind I don't like is when boys Pm me asking 'A/S/L' and other such things like that. >.<!!

D-Yoop 02-16-2008 08:40 PM

I have a fear for authority too. Its like they can take away stuff from me, or decide what I will have to do etc.

Then there are fears that I fear to share, they are social disabilities. Few people know..

Unnie 02-17-2008 08:13 AM

I think whenever I have PMs that it's something bad and someone is going to yell at me. XD

Roxelane 02-17-2008 08:17 AM

Sounds interesting. I havent really had trouble with it yet. Or maybe I have and I cant remember because I created this acount ages ago but actually started playing yesterday :P

I got banned from guilds like that. I was like...what the hell. Of course I didn't even remember ever joining the guild or ever posting there so it wasn't to disappointing.

PayShi 02-18-2008 07:51 PM

I think I remember getting warnings from Mods on Gaia a few times... but nothing serious and I've been there since 04 so... xD
But I did get a warning about not quoting something that was copied and pasted. >_< My bad.
I do have a slight fear of doing someone else that's simple yet... completely against the rules and not meaning to. Since I'm not the type to go against the rules if I know them.
So. I briefly read over the rules. I'm not one to read them word by word. xD

But honestly. I have a fear of falling. And not just from high places... but when I'm walking. I'm constantly scanning ahead looking for a spill, a banana pill, a small child or something... I feel so clumsy... >_<
