phobia thread

I went camping once, and coming back from the showers, people were kinda staring at me, which is natural because I am pretty fucking awesome, but this was strange. I turned around, and a baby bear was walking like 10 feet behind me.

Fuck bears. If they get uppity, they get shot. If they’re riding trikes and shit, they’re cool though.

Every time I go to the Toronto Zoo, the polar bears are fucking around (there was one that would just dance near the door where dudes came to bring them food, whenever it was hungry), and the grizzly bear is just sleeping like a chump. Paid money to watch a female panda sleep and a male panda eat bamboo.

Bears for the most part are the laziest fucking animals in the world. They’re the stoners of the animal kingdom.

How are you not dead.

I’m afraid of large bodies of water.

  1. Because I don’t like the idea of drowning, apparently it’s one of the worst and most painful ways to die.
  2. I’m afraid of the concept of something big and meat eating being out there while i’m out there. Seems like scientists keep finding crazier shit in the ocean every year.

Edit: Nevermind.

No we don’t have bodies. We ARE bodies.

It’s not like the body is a car and the soul is the driver.
It’s more like the body is a living car and the soul is a computer hard drive that runs the car.
The soul is part of the body, completely inseparable.
When we die, that’s it. Both body and soul are extinguished.

Have a nice day.

I nearly drowned once, it not a pleasant experience at all. Ever since the episode of Star Trek where they visited a martian world that was made of liquid oxygen I’ve been fascinated by what life would be like if we lived on a planet like that. Try to transition for one world to another would be frightening, you’d feel like drowning until your body adjusted (ignoring the fact that liquid oxygen can only exist at very low temparatures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen ).

I don’t want you guys to be aware of my phobia, it’s like 10 times worse than anything in here :rofl:

Doubt it.

Gonna have to make something up if you don’t confess.

…gonna say pubic hair :lol:

Avatar bet $1.00 on it being vagina.

OK I know I said I had no fear of bears, but then I saw this rifftrax episode about Koala Bears.

They have chlamydia in 80% of the population, they constantly leak urine, they’re lazy as fuck, and baby koala bears suckle their mother’s anus to get food. Fuck those filthy bastards, never letting one near me.

I have no phobia, care to try it?

Large insects but specifically spiders and of any size. If there is one in my room I get very uncomfortable and can’t be there unless it’s gone. Even seeing pictures of spiders make me freak out and there was a vid of a spider on the first page thanks for that. If I see a picture I immediately close my eyes and scroll down or something lol.

I think most men are afraid of menstrual blood.

A man can punch someone in the face, break a nose, and if he’s got some blood on his knuckles no big deal.

But menstrual blood is like some kind of demonic bile, capable of instantly vaporizing flesh.

Period sex = best sex. No phobia here. :coffee:

^ because it is. I SEENT IT :wasted:

Agreed.
Fuck the very idea of drowning.
Less than half(a third?) at a VERY generous estimate, of all species in the oceans overall have been discovered/documented.
Most of it in the truly abyssal-depth areas, starting from this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopelagic_zone and going deeper.
Less than half, probably less than 10% or so.
We can’t rule out anything, yet.
Eldritch horrors, waiting to be accidentally dug up?
They are undetermined to exist, or not. Remember, cosmic horror story.

Okay, might as well volunteer what gets me rattled more than anything else, I suppose.
Fear of the unknown, badly.
Come across something like this if I’m strolling late at night?

Never go to that area again in my lifetime.

DO NOT VIEW UNLESS YOU REALLY NEED TO :wasted:

damn…how all of that bubblegum had worms in it? That whole room probably smelled like llama balls

^WTH Ki Shuma. Those videos were quite unsettling. Well at least I’m informed about that kind of nastiness that can occur in our bodies and other living things. :shake:

Oh I should have further described what I meant.

Simply put, I want to die a “natural” death where my life signs begin to fail and I get put in a hospital bed. Your organs slowly stop functioning and you’ll also slip into unconsciousness as you’re dying. Not that I know if all that is actually true, but it’s a comforting thought. I don’t want to pass out or have a heart attack while I’m in my bathtub or standing over a train platform… Drowning in my own bathwater or getting smacked by a running train as I die?? No thanks.
