What phobias do you guys have?

My irrational fear is zombies. It’s a really serious phobia to the point it will keep me awake at night and I will get really really scared. Sometimes if I see them on tv my heart will start to beat fast. Once I was in this maze and i didn’t realise that it was a zombie maze and basically I started having a panic attack :frowning: as soon as I managed to convince the organiser to get me out I burst into tears :frowning:

Re: phobias.

Oh dear… You know zombies are just as scared of humans so here take a bat to them its great stress relief. :asa:

My big phobia is drowning, I can swim and I have swam great distances in various pools and crossed a few streams and tributaries I even swam a couple of big lakes but I have this perpetual fear of drowning that stems from a bad accident a long time ago in my youth where I thought it would be cool to jump into a waterfall… well it was a backflip actually but still the fear of drowning is one that I havent lost.

Asside from that everyone knows I am the bravest of the brave. :snooty:

PS dont tell my wife. :cb:

Re: phobias.

and what about high tension wires sizzling and snapping in damp weather :)

Nabbigh I'm not a fan of electricity either. I'm always switching things off before taking plugs out and I see people just yanking plugs out o extensions and I'm just sat there cringing. I hate having these stupid things and so rightly called irrational fears :(

Re: phobias.

I don't like repetitive noises/sounds...they make me uneasy. Don't like cats (they're creepy), dogs, sharks, wasps/bees. And the ocean.....the vastness and depth of them....how they seem to stretch on endlessly....and to be encompassed by nothing but blueness.....or blackness (at night, which is even scarier)...and the deadly creatures that lurk below...and frigidity of some of them scares me too. I also don't like needles...took me a long time to get over shots...and while I don't freak out...definitely don't like the sight of them. And qabar ka azaab....I know nobody has witnessed it....but the idea of being tortured (and who knows in what ways) underground. Oh and railroad tracks and trains (especially those big, hulking ones from the 1800s or so) give me the creeps too.

Re: phobias.

Um

Staircases

I can climb them fine but I have visions of falling and breaking something the entire time. And I count them.

Oh and if you add heels to the mix…I am heading towards the elevator :crying:

Re: phobias.

i'm scared to death of dogs...especially the street dogs back home. i was once bitten by a dog when i was like 7 years old and that's the reason of my dog-phobia.

Re: phobias.

Re: phobias.

I was around 10’ish and we were in Pakistan…on the roof. You know how the “chaat/roof” stairs are in Pakistan…they’re made of cement…sharp jagged edges. And the staircase was a narrow one…barely enough room for two people to walk on it side by side. My cousin was wearing heels. The really long, skinny, pencil-heel shoes. We were down to the middle of the stairs when she lost her step…dhral kar ke…slid down the remaining stairs. It’s that image that makes me sorta uneasy about heels on stairs. Though it’s not to the extent of a phobia for me…I do understand the discomfort.
