What is your fear or phobia?

I have a definite phobia of cockroaches. I also have a fear of falling. Most people say that's just a fear of heights but I have no fear of heights at all. I can stand on the roof and clean out the gutters, I can ride on a tall ferris wheel, I can stand on top of the Sear's Tower and it doesn't bother me. But the second I don't feel secure (whether I actual am or not) then I start to panic and have to get down from where I am immediately before I go into a full blown anxiety attack. That's about it for phobias for me!

I am afraid of of the dark. It's one primal human fear. We're afraid of things that we can't see, but might be out there. That's why I usually sleep with the lights on, or with somebody I know close to me. I am also afraid of cockroaches. I know it's irrational, but a lot of phobias are. They're just creepy, icky, they crawl, and they fly. I guess it started when a roach bit me one night, while I was sleeping, and I had a nasty, itchy, black-and-blue bruise when I woke up in the morning. My boyfriend's afraid of deep water. He says it started when his father kept dunking him in vats of water to discipline him as a boy. I think a lot of phobias are, as I said, irrational, but some of them have basis in events that happen during our growing up and development.

I really hate being afraid and I try to correct this. Right now there are no phobias that get me, as far as I know. I am still afraid of some things but I think about it and find that the fears disappear when you confront them. Cheers!!

flying cockroach and being with a large crowd

my phobias are bugs, elevators(majorly), fires, and heights.

I have a great fear of a deep water. i can swim, but the idea of not feeling the ground under my feet makes me panic a lot. I think that a root for this fear is my childhood: i had to attend classed to learn how to swim, and as i was rather short, the pool i had to swim at didn't have a reasonable depth for me. i wish i could learn to swim by myself, lol.

I have a terible fear of mice and some types of birds. I see a mouse and I start to have a panic attack.

I hate spiders and all creepy crawlies. Feeling a bug crawling on me really freaks me out screaming running yelling the whole shebang.

Mine is definitely spiders, although water and heights rank up there too. But spiders - ugh. I used to scream and run, but I have grown up a bit. Imagine my fear when I found 5 tarantulas on my screen porch last spring? I killed them by beating them with my crutch. LOL Although my neighbors said I shouldn't since they kill pests. Ummm to me tarantulas ARE pests. Since then I won't sit on my screen porch at night and I never ever go out there barefoot anymore.

Cockroaches - I hate them. The smell, and the scratchy sounds they made in the dustbin. And those that fly are even worse. I remember very well, once when one of these creatures landed on my hair - I can still feel it, uggghs!!

I am some on you,i fear spider,it has lots of root,i still feel fear when i saw it even if i don't touch it.

Hello snoopy04, OMG! I cannot stand snkes, I wouldn't like any of them harm but I would not like to look at them or be anywhere near them, I'm just pertrfide of them and guess what !my best friend is buying one because she loves snake them!YUCK! I shant be going anywhere near her house, and I told her that and she said it will be in a glass cage but I don't care I'm off!! Tamarafireheart.

I fear centipedes. When I see a big one, I totally freak out. Being a man that I am, I am not ashamed, because they really look creepy. Man I hate those. And the worst thing is, some keep on invading the shower room!!!

when i had my schooling,i was afraid of my zoology teacher...when she asks me question,even if i know the right answer,i would answer wrongly out of fear of her...am afraid of her eyes still....now,very recently,i've began to be terrified by cockroaches,after shifting to a new home..coz i don't find them previously though i've heard ma frenz talking about it...even a dust seems to be like a cockroach....

I have fear in many things..like spider,cockroch,any type of insects,height etc. but I have a very strong fear in spiders.sometimes I feel that I will faint when I see some of them.i hate spiders.I am very much afraid in height.when i go on top of any tall building,& I look down from the roof ,I feel weak.

I don't react that badly so perhaps mine is not a phobia but like you I really don't like spiders. In fact, it made me spooked just reading that your phobia was spiders and I had to check there aren't any about. Luckily there aren't any big poisonous ones in England. I am also not very good with heights especially in windy places - I feel I am going to be blown off!!

I'm scared of moths and butterflies. I don't like bugs flying at me and they always seem to be attracted to me. I know they are not harmful but I freak out when they get near me. Other than that I would say my other fear would be being alone either for the rest of my life or just a very long time. I like to have my privacy at certain times but I'm happiest in the company of others.

I have acrophobia or fear of heights and I also have a terrible fear of spiders, snakes, and worms.
