Your phobias!

@Jeb: I'm like that about deep water in general. If I can't see the bottom or light can't reach down there, even thinking about it can mess up my breathing.

Probably the only person in my circle that doesn't have the so called trypophobia.

@SelfSurprise: My grandmother has that kind of shit just lying around in the house. XD Creeps the fuck out of me.

My mother has a glass cupboard full of dolls, all from various places and times in her life, some more or less realistic. I wouldn't dream of bemoaning her hobbies or saying anything negative about them because she loves baby-related stuff, but it reminds me of those scientific wunderkabinetts you see full of deformed infants preserved in formaldehyde, the kind with hideous physical abnormalities like hydrocephaly, anencephalia, cyclopean facial development, etc.

Whilst I'm risking accusations of hypocrisy due to my previously cited aversion to puppets (it isn't really a fear, more of a dislike) I get the vibe from trypophobia that it's the hip new "phobia" that every Tumblr user has to have so they can shout at people for posting Saccstry's lovely artwork everywhere. Does anybody remember back when coulrophobia was the trendy must-have source of abject terror?

Sharks. Especially in video games. Every time I'm playing KOTOR, and I'm underwater, I'm basically spamming the Sonic Emitter to kill any/all Firaxan sharks. I also learned about the Megalodon. I should not have learned about the Megalodon.

Ditto. Sharks and Alligators are the only things I'm really afraid of.

If there's a shark or an alligator in a movie, you can be certain someone's gonna get an arm or leg bitten off, and to me that would just be one of the worst ways to die.

Is there something called a documentation phobia?

 

I am really aversive to handwriting on documents like school or job applications, contracts or bills. I feel like a single mistake can cause a massive error in the bureaucratic system and cause me to end up in legal trouble.

The internet asserts that "Formophobe" is the popular term for someone who is afraid of filling forms. The legitimate fear of writing is graphophobia, and the fear of writing in public is often distinguished as scriptophobia, both characterised being triggered by a specific set of circumstances or contextual actions.

Athazagoraphobia.

no Nothing like that....just kinky stuff in the bedroom without stirrups LOL! OT: Sylvester Stallone actually got over his fear for heights via doing Cliffhanger and for claustrophobia he did Daylight

[Selfsurprise]

OT: Sylvester Stallone actually got over his fear for heights via doing Cliffhanger and for claustrophobia he did Daylight

Reading that makes me wonder if that was his primary reason for acting at all, to conquer various fears.

 

Rocky = Fear of being punched in the face?

Rambo = Jungles?/The Viet Cong?

Judge Dredd = Poor film adaptations?

Demolition Man = Wesley Snipes hair?

Doubtful, hell Stallone did do a softcore porno and thats where he got his nickname of the italian stallion for Rocky and he held onto that script and ohh yeah look at him now, he is a legend, and OT: my fear of heights is quite a bit of trouble for me when it comes to really long escalators going up or down......When you were young and your heart was an open book you used to say live and let live, but if this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry (The rest of that song) is what plays in my head going down or up long escalators in subway tunnels or just long ones going up a long distance in height when it isnt necessary

Wut?

[longliveprose]

Being in areas where there is a large amount of space behind me. If there are people back there, like for example a grocery store, I'm not really bothered, since hey, it's occupied space. However, if I'm in my room at night and have my back facing the door, yeah, I'm a little bit on edge.
