Does anyone here suffer from any phobias ( i think this was a thread on the old BBS... )? I think I may have arachnophobia...I'm OK if they're small but above a certain size I just panic. I'm fine with other "bugs" but spiders...

I'm not a fan of snakes, myself. Doesn't matter if they're small gardner snakes, I freak out a bit when I see 'em. Once encountered a big ol' bull snake mountain biking in the badlands ... I've rarely biked so fast ...
I'm also not a big fan of deep, open water. Part of that has to do with me having negative buoyancy. In other words, I don't float, I sink. I can swim, but I have to work a lot harder at it than most. One of my least-favorite ways to die would have to be at sea =( Titanic scared the piss outta me.

I cant float well either, but water doesnt scare me that much. Nor snakes. I suspect its a cultural thing, in america people are taught to fear snakes but they dont bother people in the UK...
there is a phobia called eisotrophobia which is a fear of mirrors. In some peoples case this is equivalent to a fear of shattering sounds.

I have the weirdest phobia.. I have always been afraid of having my eye poked out.. I have tried to trace down the problem.. doctors and such.. and even talked to my family about things that could have happened when I was a kid.. but no luck.. and so far I stil have both of my eyes..
I too, am afraid of spiders. My english teacher's claim to fame is that she has been bitten by a brown recluse. when she told the story, i was enraptured with awe as she recounted the story of how she was ten minutes away from losing her leg to one of the most badass creatures on the planet.
If you dont know what a brown recluse is, it is a small north american spider whose bite rots the victim's flesh in a six (i think) inch radius around the bite

Yeah, cause no one else cares about their peepers. You could poke BOTH o' mine out and I wouldn't care.
But seriously, I'm also afraid of big ass hairy spiders and anything that looks like one. Like crab, lobster, shrimp, just big ass ocean bugs to me.
i can't deal with insects. mainly because i grew up in china with cockroaches or rather, water bugs, an inch to an inch and a half long... and can fly...
other than that, i get anxious in high places, but i love to fly, so it's somewhat of a contradiction. that's a fear i can conquer, i can stand on tall buildings and look down. but bugs i just don't deal well with them.
