I knew it, oh you, ya got me that time. It's cool, I thought it was funny. I thought they looked a little weird for the fancy name.
No it was obvious, I just tried googling it. The car crash one almost came up with a real result. Don't feel bad, Twas all a good joke.
When I'm alone, I'm afraid of making noise, afraid of the dark, afraid of the woods, and I'm generally afraid of spiders and large bugs, especially with long skinny legs. For the making noise, I'm pretty sure it's because I want to go unnoticed if and when something else is there. Fear of dark? Since I was a small child, there was always some figure that had me greatly afraid for long periods of time. The dark fear is probably due to being unable to see, making me vulnerable. I'm slowly working through this one. Woods? Easily explainable. Slenderman. End of story. And then I'm just arachnophobic. Or afraid of bugs in general, but there are some bugs that don't freak me out. All spiders scare me though. I have myself half-convinced that if I find one on my body, I will light myself on fire and throw myself out one of the second-story windows. It's a shame we don't have a taller house. I don't think any of those are especially weird. I'm pretty sure that all my weirdness goes into my interests, though.
I only have ONE phobia that I haven't conquered yet. I've conquered my fear of needles last year and can walk alone in the dark for hours without getting the willies. I'll walk across thin suspended bridges and swat a wasp with a newspaper, but what I fear more than any of those is fear of judgement. I have a sort of constant, intense internal judgement thing going on all day and everyday that borders on narcissism/ paranoia. I know that people probably don't notice and despise me as much as my mind will jump to, but I can't help but think of what others are thinking of me. I'll beat it eventually, but for now, it's kind of a bummer. Pfft! Phobias!
I constantly feel that I'm being judged by people, though I haven't ever really thought of it as a fear. I guess it is, though.
Fear of Santa Claus! Every year I attempt to thwart his evil plans with carefully placed bear traps, yet he always manages to break in anyways! Ok, not really. Here are some actual fears of mine. Fear of being buried. Fear of multiple realities. Fear that love doesn't exist. Not fear of being single, I'm fine with that so long as I have friends, but sometimes I worry that love is a man-made idea. And fear of war, which is probably my biggest phobia. I've come a long way though! I used to be terrified of heights, movie theaters, roller coasters, planes, and most strangers, so I've narrowed it down a bit.
This would probably be related to the fear of clowns - I mean, if you actually had it. I'm not so sure that fear of war is a bad thing - too bad more politicians didn't have it. Probably if their children and grand-children were first in line for battle, they might be. And if love is a man-made idea, it'd be our best idea ever. (Wisdom mode: Off) Good for you. I used to have quite a few more fears, but I exposed myself to them, and they've faded over the years. I know it doesn't work for everybody - my wife still hates spider webs. Not spiders, spider-webs. No amount of exposure seems to help with that. Although, I'm a bit curious about the "fear of multiple realities." I don't think I've ever heard of that one before.
I have no idea why, but I have an extreme fear of any sort of insect or bug. I will sometimes freak out if even a fly buzzes past my ear. The exception to this fear is ants and ladybug, for no particular reason.
I don't think it's bad to be afraid of war, but when international relations are getting more unhealthy than usual, I have to ignore the news completely, otherwise I start getting paranoid that a war is on the verge of starting, when that's usually not the case. That's an awesome way to look at it actually... Even if it is invented, that doesn't mean it's not real. Wow, thanks Dwynter, you may very well have just helped me resolve that fear! Thanks! I wish I had some advice for how to help your wife, but facing fears is the only solution I really know of. As for the fear of multiple realities, that one's admittedly weird and kind of a long story, so I'll just message you that one that way it doesn't take up a huge amount of space here.
Clowns.... *meep* I'm not sure whether to add that to my list. All I know is, I really find them creepy... I remember reading about one certain evil clown on Wikipedia... and that made things even worse. Basically I find them, with the exception of those in cartoons (Simpsons, One Piece), quite... disgusting. Grotesque is the word...
Claustrophobic. Fear of spiders... but no major fear. Creeped out by sharp stuff. Especially scalpels. 0.0 Fear of heights. A fear of physical pain. Fear of ending up alone and unloved. Fear of being bullied. Fear of failing school. Fear of being part of this sick society. Fear of drowning or suffocating. Also fear of sea-monsters, when I'm swimming in a large body of water. Fear of losing my innocence or childlike-side. And of course a big fear of confrontations. When I was younger I was very afraid of the dark. Now I'm not anymore, but I still sleep with my blanket all the way over my head, just because it feels warm and safe. Think dat's about it.
My wife does that too. She's not afraid of the dark, per se, but she thinks the dark closes in on her sometimes. Ah... my timid, delicate sweetheart. How I love her so... I need to go to sleep. It's 3:00 AM here. I'll just watch Balto again to fall asle-- Zzzzzzzzzz...
would this cover my fear of headlights?............ me and pixel hope are similar thou with our fears, part from teeth and nurses
I fear for my teeth, I like them. I got a new phobia, Cinnamon. I tried the extreme cinnamon challenge. I never want cinnamon near me again. My manager has a video of it, I'll see if I can get it so you guys can be amused by it.
...I know. Actually, I don't sleep without completely covering myself usually XD If not... I actually get terrified. Like stated earlier, I've got a rather bad fear of the dark.
Heh, so do I! I've always slept like that for some reason. My mom thinks I'll suffocate myself but I still do it. Plus, I feel like a mummy! On-topic: I also have a fear of failing college.
