Phobias

[Luffyko]

I'm afraid of heights. It's ok for me to look out through the window of a building, but climbing on step-ladders or anything that is instable... NO. Just no.
I just freeze and don't move.

I'm claustrophobic, too. I can't stand crowded places with lots of people, if I can't move and can't get away from that place I will start to sweat and panic. The absolute horror for me.

I'm also afraid of dying, and anything medical. When watching TV, I have no problems to see a violent action scene, but if a person is in a hospital and gets a surgery and they show everything about it, cuting the person with a scalpel and stuff, I imediatly switch the channel :'D
A few years ago, I was afraid of seeing people who cut their wrists. I thought it's absolutely disgusting and even thinking about it mae me feel sick. Even now I feel a little bit uncomfortable about it.


God, I'm afraid of everything ;__;

I love how this thread plays like a list of exploitable weaknesses for Arlong Park users.

I have too many of em.
I mean, everytime I see Nami's avi I flip the fuck out and have to look somewhere else on the screen...
Though it isn't TOO bad...
I was exaggerating der . u .
but you'd never catch me watching The Walking Dead or ANYTHING like that.
I barely survived through 'shed'
forgot the real title but if I say 'Hey Hey Hey Stay Away From Mah Sheeeyd!' then yeah...

I'm really terrified of most flying insects (even butterfly, yes) but as for a real phobia, I guess it would be something with needles and blood. I once got really sick, had to go to the hospital and drawing my blood... like every hour. I had a fit. Hysterical or something.
I also fainted when I was a kid and I was with my mother when she donated blood.
I don't know if the term is correctly used there but I guess it is a phobia.

[The Laughing Man]

The last true fear I really have is the fear of going crazy, which I guess it's kinda-sorta like my fear of losing control. I'm sometimes fearful that one day I'll wake up and have schizophrenia or dementia, or just be simply crazy. Which is irrational...because crazy people don't know they're crazy (or that they're going crazy) and schizo and dementia are pretty rare; for instance, only 1% of the population is said to have schizophrenia.

[Nami]

When I was isolated for too long, I'm afraid of going outside.

Drunk and/or old men. From past experiences. They make me very aggressive, even if they're nice, I can't be nice to them. They just totally piss me off. It's a self defense reaction.

I'm afraid of phone calls. Making ones or getting ones. Well, actually I can't make phone calls. I just... don't know. I can only talk on phone with my dad, my ex and the people from my work (because I have to talk on phone with them pretty often). Otherwise I just really really hate phone calls. Especially making them. When I'm at work and the phone rings I tend to ignore it or wait till my co worker picks it up. I only pick it up when I know the number. Or if my co worker can't pick up. Then I just force myself.

Ants.
And yes, insects.

I'm scared of sex (yes, really, don't laugh, it's not funny)

Scared of.. being led down or getting left or being used and tossed away.

Vomitting not anymore but it was a big problem for me in the past.

I'm scared of being useless. Like when people would collapse right next to me.. And I feel like I can't do anything.. I hate that. Or when I want to help friends but it's not in my possibility. That really irks me.

Uhm, what else... I'm afraid my dreams won't come true. And that I'll never find a partner :P


That's all I can think of for now.

Me too....The thought of people cutting their wrists for suicide makes me nausea and screamish,in real life or in media.This probably stems from middle school when it was the time people became depressed and hormonal, so the school had councils come into the classes to talk about suicide prevention and the ways you can kill yourself and not to do it,and them saying you can cut your wrists top kill yourself just makes me sick and makes me want to faint....

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

During winter/fall I sometimes get heart palpitation,and sometimes it occurs during the night where I can hear my heart beating and pulse when I'm trying to sleep and it always freaks me out where I think I'm getting a stroke,or something,and I think I won't wake up the next morning cause I'll be dead......

Obviously,in hindsight it's very stupid,but when it;s occuring it feels very real.But just to make this clear,this happens very rarely,so it's not like every single night I'm laying awake thinking I'm gonna die lol.I actually sleep pretty good. :)

^Happened to me a couple times. And it didn't disappeared yet. And I hate it very much. It's so irrational, just like my constant fear of getting my neck broken. I'm walking down the streets, everything's fine, then suddenly, the thought comes to my mind and I'm starting to get all nervous. Annoying...

[Silent K]

I have a fear of heights (I can watch out of a window high up or be on an observation platform just fine as long as I don't go too close to the edge, though) , water (only in bodies of water where my feet can't reach the floor, mind. I should be really glad I can swim although it took me ages to master...), dogs (I got attacked and nearly bitten by my uncle's vicious dog as a toddler) and wasps/bees.


Edit: And fear of failure, now that I think of it. It's like I collect mild phobias...

[Mastello]

Fear of failure. That's all. It explains all my other fears.

[Law of the sea]

I hate things that move fast because they're hard to hit!

I think people can become afraid of/have a phobia of...anything really.



The brain is such a stupid organ.

He looks and sounds like George from Seinfield lol!

[Hekti]

I am terribly afraid of snakes. I can't even look at pictures or even accurate drawn pictures of those animals.

[Sai-chan]

Speaking of phobias
Hey Nami

hey Nami
I can't look at your avatar at all

[Sakonosolo]

I'm scared of sex (yes, really, don't laugh, it's not funny)

What exactly is there to be afraid of? I realize this forum is supposed to be PG-13 but I'm curious since I think this is much more irrational than the others you mentioned.

Aren't phobias pretty much irrational by definition?

[Sakonosolo]

Well yes but there's usually at least some reason for the fear. I suppose you're right though now that I think about it.

You know I think having a phobia of sex is quite reasonable.
One could be, somewhat irrationally, afraid of being seen naked, have touching issues, or of having something foreign inside the body.
I guess we'll let Nami answer this one.
