What Are Your Phobias?

[||spoon||]

my fears are heights and spiders, although i recently have been doing some rock climbing. I enjoy it so why let fear get in the way?

BreeWan: you should see the moths we get around here (SE Aus) they can be around 20-30 cms wide. People used to catch them in high school lol.

I had a pretty strong fear of heights(acrophobia) when I was young, but I got over that by forcing myself to climb trees etc. Now the only thing I fear is fear itself which I believe has a name, hmm where was that link again

Ah yes counterphobia: the fear of fearful situations.

Hmm somehow I don't think that is what FDR meant by his quote.

I am chronophobic.

Counterphovia is a preference for fearful situations; not a fear of fearful situations.

So, FDR definitely didn't mean counterpholia. Fear of fear would be phoropholia.

Personally, I suffer from apiphodia - at least that's the closest thing on the list to my fear. It's so severe that I often have to write my name ackwards.

If I had a fear, it would be outliving my children. Other than that, I have no fear.

I'm convinced that you suffer from xyrophobia.

I've always thought that I've had a slight case of altocelarophobia. When I was young and would go to the local opera house with my mother, something about the extremely high ceilings would make me uncomfortable. I remember thinking in my mind what it would be like to have to refinish or repaint the ceiling... wondering what it would be like to actually be up there looking down. I suppose it's a side fear that's associated with my slight fear of falling from an extreme height.

The strange thing is I have no problem when I'm up in a plane. It's only when there is a high risk of me plummeting to my death due to me being a klutz or loosing my grip on something.

 

[binzing]

Eremiphobia...basically

 

[Saladsamurai]

Aichmophobia- Needles. When I was 18 I had my labret pierced and it caused me to have a seizure.
