Fears and Phobias

Aside from my big phobia of spiders, i've recently developed a fear of tall buildings. I mean, looking at/up them rather than actually being on top of them. When i went to London the other week it wasnt great fun getting off the tube at Westminster and seeing Big Ben.

I dont know why i have got this fear now, its stupid and very annoying.

Anyone else got any silly fears or phobias?

i used to be shit scared of dogs. until we bought and my mum left me and the new dog in the back of her land rover on the drive home. i'm not scared now

apart from that i don't really have any phobias

unless my girlfriend on the "bad week" counts.............

Deep water. I can swim perfectly well but deep water scares the shit out of me if I don't know what's underneath.

Bath/house spiders. I'd rather a tarantula on me cock than have on of these running about my bedroom.

Drowning. Almost drowned when I was 9 and have been shit scared ever since.

Sounds really odd but I have a phobia of yoghurt, I can't stand it anywhere near me. I can't bare to be in the same room if someones eating one

you should go to a shrink to find where that phobia comes from, could be interesting!

The thing is it started only two years ago, before that I was fine with them

Did you get raped by a yoghurt?

**Sully** · 08-01-2008, 19:46

I wondered what that was

Ah, deep water for me is a no-no. I think its probably because i didnt leanr to swim until i was 11, and although im a good swimmer over short-distances, i never had the confidence to swim in deep water when i was younger so i dont now.

The spiders with long legs and small bodies, or even dead spiders, are the worst. When you see a spider which is rigid and upside-down, my back tingles just thinking about them.

The sea, I've explained it before in a different thread. Although on my last summer vacation I did enter the water until my knees only before gazing at the horizon, found there was little land in sight, and returning safely to my seat by the pool where my cocktail was getting warm.
