Got phobias?

[sSsflamesSs]

Originally posted by Emil I don't know if it's disgust or fear. We had a mouse in our garage 3 months ago, till I set a trap and now it's in mouse heaven. I was ok with picking up the shoe box the trap was in and throwing it away. I don't think I could grab one or touch one with my bare hands.

Well, I won't touch a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that I fear them. I mean yea, some things are disgusting, while others are not clean/safe to touch, but I don't fear them. If I knew that no harm would come of it, I would touch a mouse. You won't get me to touch a spider though, hehe.

I got a real big fear of heights. Everytime I'm on a high rise lookin out the window, I get really scared and panic. I don't know how I can fly in a plane, since the last time I flied was when I was 6/7.

I also have a natural disgust regarding blood or anything red. Yuck.

Nothing says dignity like being roasted.

i can't stand ladybugs, ANY insects (almost had a heart-attack once... ) and spiders.

Where do our phobias stem from? Is it nature or nurture?

And Hogg, I'm not sure what you mean.

well, i had a grasshopper jump on me once, and ever since, i freak out whenever i see anything remotely similar to grasshoppers. I used not to be afraid of ladybugs, but now they disgust me, especially if they're all over the place when the weather gets warmer.

but i've always hated insects in general. and spiders are just... eww.. i don't know ... it's weird. i don't really know how i got to be freaked out by them.. but i'd probably freak out more if i see an insect than i would if i see a lion lol..

Now that you mention it, grasshoppers don't really bother me either. I guess I only freak out about insects I'm not familiar with, with the addition of spiders, c0ckroaches, and the like.

[Darorinag]

well, i'm mostly referring to the long and green type of grasshopers, the ones that are paper thin.. have you seen those? They're HUGE. UGH. *shudder*

yeah, c0ckroaches (love the word filter, btw ) too.. lol.. i have funny stories about each one of them, the funniest of which was having a spider on the table i was sitting at in the lecture hall haha...

[Darorinag]

big ants are freaky.

SHUSH you! Or else I'll have to go clubbin your head with a stick. Don't say it!!! You suck.

p.s. Emilio get one step closer and I will bring a mouse home from work in my pocket and put it right on your back. You know, on the little prickly hairs on the back of your neck? Grrrrrr. I'll get you if you scare me like that!
