Any fears or phobias?

Interesting...
I'm the complete opposite .....
A hog for attention
I'd do a ballerina dance in a tutu if it made people look at me

I have a fear of public speaking, like making a speech or something. My heart starts beating much faster and my hands get clammy right before I have to go up and present it. It's kind of like what happens during the last seconds of an ebay auction I desperately want. I just hate the idea of everyone looking at me.

As a kid, ventriloquist dummies used to creap me out.

I think those few dummy Twilight Zones was the cause

I also used to be afraid of store mannequins.

I don't like clowns. I am not afraid of them, but I have some instinctive dislike that makes me want to attack them. Specifically, Carnival, street, and party clowns. Rodeo clowns don't bother me, and I really like Cirque du Soliel been to 3 shows, no problem. Party clowns?? Attack.

I'm afraid of heights, for sure, especially if there's no railing or the railing is too low. I don't like centipedes, but it's more of a dislike than a fear.

Snakes!!!! they literaly paralyze me with fear....no matter what size. There was once a gartter snake about six inches long curled up on the door step of my house.....and I was trapped. I had to call a friend over to get it off....the little *******. (the snake, not my friend)

I have recently been attending the Zoo to help me get over my phobia but that damn albino cobra is seriuosly putting the brakes on my recovery.

I have an irrational fear of flying.

My father worked and retired from Delta for 35 years. I also worked for an airline for several years during college. I'd flown many times with no big deals. However, around the age of 25 or so I started having night terrors about plane crashes. Either I was on one going down or I was a witness to a crash. Ever since, it's hard to get me on a plane, but I'll do it if absolutely necessary. I no longer have those dreams, but they left me a bit scarred. I just take a change of underwear in my carry-on bag.

I have a fear of falling. Not of heights, mind you, but the falling scares the poop out of me. I have a lot of trouble with the first hill of a rollercoaster and I cannot go on those rides that simply take you up and drop you.

BTW, have you ever heard of Pediophobia. Its the fear of dolls, I wonder if there is a more specific word for the fear of action figures.

[palitoy]

commitment, other than my wife, I'm really bad at making plans with people. Especially new people...

Heights- I tried out for the fire fighters once, when I had to cross the street over a ladder I discovered my fear. Just got a shiver.

[Mikey]

I'm not crazy about deep water either ....

I can swim

But when I stay still in the water, I sink like a rock.

[z3zep]

I am not afraid of knifes but I am afraid of Blades like table saws and pizza cutters. I won't touch those things and don't like being around them.

Deep water for me too -- I cannot swim, if I can stand I am fine.

[mitchedwards]

I can't go up on tall ladders. anything past 6 feet and I will not do it.

Public speaking, but I'm getting better on that.

8 inch action figures scare the life out of me

[SUP-Ronin]

Very deep water. I am a decent swimmer & I love the ocean and the beach, I like snorkling around a reef and stuff but as soon as the bottom drops off, I am out of there. We are virtually helpless in the water. I don't like that everything living beneath me in the water wants to eat me. You can't evade predators, you can breath, you can't fight effectively. Screw that.

Heights. For as long as I can remember.

I try to go the "Batman Begins" route to face them to overcome them, going on rides at Six Flags or making myself walk on balconies, etc. but it never seems to go away . . .

[4NDR01D]

I can't drive on highways, too scared. I speed like crazy on regular roads though!
