I have a phobia of: Spiders, Moths, Daddy Long Legs and Clowns.

I don't like spiders because of the way the look and I used to get them chucked at me when I was younger so thats why I think I have that phobia.

Moths because It scares the hell outta me when they fly around or touch me, Same with daddy long legs I actually fear for my life!

And clowns are just plain freaky lol.

How about you lot?

Spiders.. to some extent.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Aug 7 2008, 12:05 AM

I have phobias of : bugs and bugs , especially flying ones! I don't mind watching them from safe distance and onces that can not touch me I don't have fear of heights but I don't like climbing trees , my hands get pretty sweetly and "heart" a little.Also I hate snakes

I don't know , I guess I'll remember some more..

Posted by: vintageplaya666 Aug 7 2008, 12:05 AM

How you mean? Like, are you alright with little spiders just not bigger ones?

Posted by: Skalde Aug 7 2008, 01:32 AM

buzz saw phobia - no fingers - no guitar - no way!

Posted by: swingline Aug 7 2008, 01:34 AM

Spiders, if I see a black widow (the spiders I am most afraid of) I head for the hills.

Posted by: Darfuria Aug 7 2008, 01:41 AM

Various insects and spiders make me feel uncomfortable.

My fingers being hurt scares me.

I'm not scared of heights - I can stand and look up at them for hours. It's depths that bother me.

Posted by: Déjà vu Aug 7 2008, 01:47 AM

Spiders, big time! Not baby ones or daddy long legs, unless I see movement *shudder*. But, mainly any other kind... Sharks, if I was in the middle of the ocean. I was a Germaphobe when I was a little kid (if anyone's seen the aviator). I've had a lot of past phobias, that I've grown out of. I hope the cycle will end!

Posted by: Canis Aug 7 2008, 01:47 AM

And Arachnophobia to a certain degree.. If I know where the spider is, and have control over it, I don't mind. But as soon as they get out of my sight, they scare me

Also most other incects... Anything with more then four legs :S The way them move.... Uch!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 7 2008, 01:59 AM

Basically yes, but also... I can kill most spiders, but I need to gather courage first!

Posted by: Praetorian Aug 7 2008, 02:06 AM

Deep water...like the ocean.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 7 2008, 02:07 AM

I for one ain't scared of heights or depths, nor oceans or anything.

Posted by: JeroenKole Aug 7 2008, 02:18 AM

I have a fear of unstable heights, no problems with tall buildings, but ladders are a complete no no for me.

fear of losing the people I love and care about, really discovered this after my mother died.

fear of depression. which is kind of awkward because every month I slip into an week long depression. which started after my mother died.

minor and awkward fear of spiders, no problem with your average dutch spider, no problem with tarantulas. it is the bigger/older/fatter dutch spiders that just get me nervous.

and I have hundreds of other little fears that are actually quite rational, like a fear of food poisoning

Posted by: Xicoria Aug 7 2008, 02:18 AM

I use to climb 30 mts towers, but I cannot go into a cave, or hole...

If I go to malls and there is too many people, I simple freak out and run my way out of the place.

Posted by: Fran Aug 7 2008, 02:47 AM

+1 on spiders, they give me the creeps

Posted by: Xicoria Aug 7 2008, 02:54 AM

Just a note... I love spiders!

My favorite creppy bug!

Posted by: Jmguitar64 Aug 7 2008, 03:06 AM

ehem... cutting objests... you know: knives, swords, etc.

Posted by: stickyfingers Aug 7 2008, 09:55 AM

spiders of all kinds and shapes + heights.

i once did a boattrip and sat on deck while a very small spider ran along. I thought: "Now that spider is harmless" and wanted to snip it away. Before i could touch it, this vile beast actually jumped (!) in my direction, causing me to let out an unmanly cry. -.-

never trust an animal with more than four legs i say.

Posted by: Fsgdjv Aug 7 2008, 10:04 AM

centipedes are so gross I seriously panic now when I think of it, it's horrible, I can't even sit still right now.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Aug 7 2008, 10:37 AM

Definitely all kinds of insects, I hate them.

Posted by: mattacuk Aug 7 2008, 10:39 AM

I have a fear of never owning a Mesa Boogie !!!

Posted by: DeepRoots Aug 7 2008, 10:39 AM

Only one i can think of is fear of failure.

Posted by: Rooks Aug 7 2008, 10:47 AM

I don't really have any phobias like that, only sounds that creep me out .. Like sharp objects on a blackboard, when a knife slips on a plate making that screeching noise, or the "scratching" noise/feeling when you accidently lick the dry part of the stick on a popsticle.. I don't fear it to happen; Just creeps me a lot out when it does

Posted by: steve25 Aug 7 2008, 10:49 AM

Right now i have a fear for them turning on the LHC this Saturday in Geneva i really hope they don't mess it up

Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 7 2008, 12:01 PM

Not sure if I have real phobias
but there are 2 things that really scare me.
Dogs,not the small ones but big ones,
specially late in the night when I'm going back home
from gig,my hands are full carrying gear,
hard to run tho,really creepy.

And I can't imagine to go to sleep
without at least one pack of cigarettes in my house.

Posted by: Moon Boots Aug 7 2008, 12:15 PM

Spiders and big dogs for me!

Spiders seem to be a common theme.

Posted by: kyldeee Aug 7 2008, 12:20 PM

Clowns, ever since I saw the movie "It".
I actually punched a clown in a circus, at my home town.
Serves him right, to sneak up on someone, with fear of clowns

Posted by: Rooks Aug 7 2008, 12:21 PM

For all the spider guys, don't worry here's a calming fact:

When your are inside a house/building anywhere in the world, you are never more than 1 meter from the nearest spider

Posted by: kyldeee Aug 7 2008, 12:22 PM

Haha, that's true

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 7 2008, 12:26 PM

Heard that before, but had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me...

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Aug 7 2008, 12:28 PM

To ask my self with 40,what haw I done when I was 23.and don't came up with a good answer.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 7 2008, 12:30 PM

Now, don't spend those 17 years wasting your time worrying too much about it!

Posted by: 2mazzo Aug 7 2008, 12:43 PM

Hmm, I dont like spiders but I`m not phobic about them. On the other side I just love snakes, and I have a 1meter Grey-banded Kingsnake. Her name is "Miss Hiss" and she is beautiful.

Posted by: Capt.Z Aug 7 2008, 12:47 PM

Any bug is the enemy!!!

I can't stand to llok at it

Posted by: vintageplaya666 Aug 7 2008, 02:27 PM

I've never heard that before, now my phobia of spiders have just increased a whole lot more, I think I'll be worried about my surroundings now

Posted by: ZakkWylde Aug 7 2008, 02:39 PM

Nothing really except for Chuck Norris and Pidgeons. No seriously I can touch any insect, I wrestle with the biggest dogs and I can stand at the edge of a skyscraper but whenever I go to a bigger town I get hit by a pidgeon flying against my head. I don't fear them when they walk arround but when they fly near me I have to jump away because I'll once again be hit by those flying rats...

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Aug 7 2008, 03:17 PM

Ahahaha!

Posted by: rokchik Aug 7 2008, 05:53 PM

I have 3 big dogs, well 2 big dogs and one puppy who is going to be huge But they are teddy bears and love to cuddle. But I know what you mean, I love dogs but if I don't know it I don't trust it.

As for phobias mine would most certainly be Bees. I run almost crying if I see one. As for other insects I don't mind them until they land on me... then I tend to freak out a little bit Don't really mind spiders but I could list many other things I like a lot more.

Posted by: Ian Bushell Aug 8 2008, 11:18 AM

Agreed Spiders freak me out!!!
You should see the ones you get in SA!!!java script:add_smilie(":blink:","smid_19")

Posted by: timono Aug 10 2008, 09:43 AM

Posted by: Matt23 Aug 10 2008, 09:55 AM

Don't think i've got any phobias but i do go out of my way to avoid wasps now cos i got stung 5 times in a week when there was a wasp nest in my garden.

Posted by: bubbalicious Aug 11 2008, 01:26 PM

SPIDERS!!!!

Posted by: TwistedSun Aug 11 2008, 01:57 PM

Pretty much all insects for me. I also have a huge fear of being embarrassed.

Posted by: Lisa Aug 11 2008, 04:47 PM

I have claustrophobia so I don't go in elevators and stuff..

Posted by: superpanda Aug 11 2008, 05:28 PM

Being followed up a flight of stairs. crazy, isn't it?

Posted by: Henry Dietzel Aug 11 2008, 05:49 PM

I think my only phobia is one day not being to play music anymore

Posted by: fkalich Aug 11 2008, 06:13 PM

You guys do realize that fear of spiders represents fear of maternal incest in your subconscious. Read up on it. I doubt anybody admits to that fear anymore, if they read about this.

When I see spiders I call them "Mr. Spider". Yesterday one put a web on the path from my porch. I yelled at Mr. Spider and told him "you know better than that" and I knocked off that web string. I am sure he cussed me out in spider language, but he won't do it again, spiders are smart.

edit: regarding phobias, none. life is too short for irrational fears. nobody gets out of this ball game alive anyway you know.

Posted by: FrankW Sep 7 2008, 02:26 AM

I fear porcupines.

Posted by: Shadow21 Sep 7 2008, 11:53 AM

Dolls freak me out, you know, those tipical dolls your sister has, with big eyes and look like a baby.

I don't know how, but they allways seem to be looking at you, and they scare me

Posted by: Canis Sep 7 2008, 11:57 AM

That's true! Ever since I wathced "Chuck" - or whatever that killerdummy movie was called - as a child, I've hated them

Posted by: Shadow21 Sep 7 2008, 02:34 PM

Yeah, he used to scare me when I was little, but i think he's funny now.
But I'm still scared of those horrible dolls

Posted by: Toroso Sep 8 2008, 12:08 AM

No fears here. But many a mother has warned their daughter about guys like me. bwa ha ha ha ha!

Posted by: SEANCD2005 Sep 8 2008, 12:15 AM

I'm also afraid of nuns, especially the ones with shaved heads.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Sep 8 2008, 03:53 PM

I'm afraid of myself and being locked in a room with Jimmy Saville.
