Flora MaDonald Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was talking about this last night. Aside from snakes, I can't walk dockside when a ship is moored for fear of falling between the ship and the dock. In fact, ships terrify me in general, which is surprising as my Grandfaither was in the Navy. Anyone got any bizarre ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 i was terrified of aliens when I was a kid. The film fire in the sky had me awake for months absolutely convinced I was going to be abducted. Fortunately that phase passed ha. Heights is still a fear, did a Bungy a few years back but if anything it made it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Leeches. Ever since I was a wee boy I've hated the sight of them.Whilst recently down at the Barrhead Dams I tried to "challenge" the fear. Went to a place where I know I could find them and watched five or six of them swimming round and round in a circle for a minute. Nearly threw up it made me so queasy.Up until the age of about ten or so, I had a bizarre fear of the sound (not the sight though) of falling water. I would feel very anxious and scared when hearing a torrent of water falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not sure if a phobia but I can't touch the thin bits of skin on my wrists or crook of elbows and knees. If I see someone scratching any of those places I actually go lightheaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was made redundant five years ago, horrible experience especially when you have two young kids and a mortgage. So my biggest fear is it happening again. Hope not though, the job centre visit was only once before I started my new job. But before redundancy kicked in I thought this might be OK for a wee while. How wrong I was it's amazing how your day is filled up with crap, running errands and constant nagging. Alot of empathy for the oil industry going through redundancies just now.just hope they have put some money aside to buy them some time to get s new job.

Huddersfield Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Being up a ladderr terrifies me. I start shaking like a leaf before I even start to go up it. It's nothing to do with fear of heights, & I've even done a parachute jump in my time, but a wobbly ladder just puts the fear of god into me.

MacWalka Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have a mild fear of heights. It doesn't stop me doing anything but if I'm at height with no railing or such, I do feel like headed and short of breath. I am really scared of needles though. I faint every time I hive blood or go to give blood. They've refused me a few times because of how I go. I also don't particularly like clowns. How can anyone not be freaked out by those weirdo bags? I blame Stephen kings it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What freaks me out even more is kids dressed as clowns, like the wee fukker that was parading up and down my street at Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddybuc16 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You've came to the wrong forum then..... I have a fear of snakes that seems to have got worse over the years, to the point i can't even look at photos of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrystarfish Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 i was terrified of aliens when I was a kid. The film fire in the sky had me awake for months absolutely convinced I was going to be abducted. Fortunately that phase passed ha. Heights is still a fear, did a Bungy a few years back but if anything it made it worse. Aye me too with the aliens after reading a book by John Mack, an american psychiatrist who was one of the main people behind spreading the alien abduction / greys myth. Used to think that any bright lights late at night or any noises were the greys coming to get me! I think I also read somewhere that they were attracted to the brainwaves of people who thought about them so that really ####ed me up - the more I thought about them the more I thought they were coming! Madness. Luckily i came to the realisation any alien visitation stories were all pure pish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I have a wide variety of things that would give me a flig. Like huge spiders or beasties in general. But nothing that I can think that would make it a great fear. Edited January 16, 2016 by Ormond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
