Tonight, you. :tup:
Heights and deep water. I am afraid of deep water because I almost drowned twice as a kid.
Not sure if a phobia but I hate being around wasps. It’s not the bug itself but rather the impending sting. Last time I got stung was by a yellow jacket way back when I was a teen. I guess going this long without receiving a sting has me in some weird streak/phobia of getting stung again. I actually find watching a wasp nest to be quite entertaining. That usually involves being on the other side of glass looking out at it.
At my current apartment I moved into, on the 3rd floor, there was a wasp problem for me. I would find two to three new ones in the place dead when I got home from work every night. Some nights while sitting her watching tv, I would look over in the corner and several would be wallowing on the floor near death. It took me forever to get the nerve to open the vent on the fireplace. Spray can in hand, a big black ball fell out when I opened the vent and exploded on the fireplace floor. I ran like hell, spray can thrown down. 
Once I got my bearings, I realized that “ball” was a giant clump of dead/near dead wasps. 50+ of them. We’re not talking little paper wasps. Nice two inch long red wasps. Funny thing about it is I had been complaining to the office about wasps being everywhere when I got home. Their advice was to “Burn a log, they are probably in the chimney”. If that isn’t a lawsuit waiting to happen if someone is allergic to a sting. I complained about three weeks, which was a good thing, it gave them time to die. No clue how much of a little bitch I would’ve screamed like if I opened that vent three weeks earlier.
I seem to have a selective fear of insects. Bees and wasps I don’t mind, I’ve carried wasps outside before with no fear of being stung. Spiders, centipedes, moths, flies etc give me the heebies. And fuck cockroaches. I have no idea why bees are off my list, I just look at them and don’t really give a fuck. Ants as well. I guess they just don’t seem as alien to me as the others.
Just don’t try selling lobster door to door in Florida.
Claustrophobia? I don’t have this, but I have something similar, the fear of being restrained. If I’m ever in a spot where my arm is stuck somewhere, especially by my side, I get cold sweats.
Heights but not on a plane though. I was scared of clowns damn you It. Now I just hate them I think there shady.
Sent from Hueco Mundo using Garganta Talk.
My sister’s boyfriend has a fear of clowns. Not to diminish anyone’s fear, but could someone explain this to me? If you sat beside someone as they applied the makeup, would you get increasingly afraid of them? If you met someone on the street and they say they work as a clown, what then? Again, not trying to make light of it, it just happens to be a phobia I could never understand.
Throw me in the “wasp” or “bees” crowd. I have a friend that got stung by Bald Faced Hornets, oh man. Those fuckers are like the meanest hornets you will ever come across, VERY DEADLY AND DANGEROUS! I can’t stand flying insects in general.
Fat women
I grew up arachniphobic, but I just have a strong, mostly rational fear of them now. I’ve lived with my wife for over 5 years; hiding isn’t an option when IRS your job to kill spiders.
I had one in my Jeep last Sunday. I let out a huge gasp and proceeded to kill it with a pen after crippling it with a notebook.
I’m afraid of dogs, especially big dogs. I just don’t wanna be around them at all lol.
Needles man. I go into panic attacks over shots and IV’s.
Really any medical instrument. Scalpel’s and shit too. I’m terrified of surgery to the point where I’ll just limp around with a fucked up knee instead of going to the doctor.
you mean women in general
Iffy for me on heights, I can deal, as long as there is a minimal chance of me falling.
I was on a high swirling ride, this one to be precise.

I was with my cousin and I was like 4 or 5, or 6, convinced I was slipping out and that the bar was loose. Of course no one believed me, so now I really don’t know myself if I made it up.
Haven’t liked rides since, but little water rides are ok, and mini rollercoasters, but I was only on one rollercoaster my whole life, and I fucking hated it.
I just tensed up and stared forward the entire time, it makes me feel like I have control issues or something. Not fun in the least. I was only a little afraid to be honest, it was just extremely uncomfortable.
I’m afraid of being replaced by a woman, I’ve had two exes cheat on me with women, for awhile I had beef with bisexual women, but I got over that, I just won’t ever date one again.
Is that wrong of me? Probably, but whatever.
Similarly I don’t like seeing women dancing together provocatively, it makes my blood boil and makes me uncomfortable like nothing else.
This is more of an anger thing than a fear thing, I don’t fear seeing women dance provocatively, but I don’t like it either.
I’m feeling a little weird just typing it honestly. It just doesn’t make any sense to me, if I dance with a dude, it’s gay, but if chicks dance together it’s not even questioned.
Sorry if I’ve offended anyone.
Perhaps males deal with homosexual feelings through jokes and women deal with it through dancing?
Not sure, but to me dancing always seemed like a mating ritual.
I must sound so old fashioned to you guys.
Large crowds stuck in a confined space. To me that spells death trap and I avoid those situations at all costs. That’s why I don’t go to too many concerts or large scale sporting events.
Right there with you dude, I hate/fear crowds, and groupthink.
Sports stadiums wouldn’t bother me so much as concert venues, since people are more likely to be shitheads and beat the shit out of each other. And my friends wonder why I would rather drink a beer and enjoy bands from a distance.
I also fear bureaucracy.
Perfect example, I have books that are 2 or more weeks late at my college library. What do you think a reasonable fee would be? A nickel a day? A dime a day?
Nope, they hit me for 40 dollars.
They even have 108 dollars for the total fee just in case the books are damaged.
They pretty much just treated my like a common thief, for books being late.
What the fuck.
you mean you stabbed the spider to death? either that was one big mother fucker or youre a mean shot with a pen!
how would you even do that? would you stab its body or stab each of its legs off randomly?? did you keep the pen???
I generally dont have many fears, but my ultimate fear would be to get a tape worm. I hate parasitic things in general, but the idea of something like that growing larger and larger inside of you bleh.
And of course, the only way to get rid of one would be to poop it out? NO THANK YOU!
i’m afraid of travelling…mostly i think i’m afraid of getting there…car, bus, train, plane…i could die in a fiery crash in any of those vehicles…i’ve turned down two promotions now because there was “travel” involved…i also hate being away from home, it makes me uneasy…i’m afraid of sleeping in strange beds…recently i’ve become afraid of eating things i’ve never had before, had an allergy scare about 4 months ago and now everything goes under the microscope before i eat it…
If tapeworms freak you out don’t look up the botfly.
worms, slugs and caterpies. For some reason they give me the creeps when they crawl. I’m ok with snakes or any other non-vertebrate animal which is weird, I just hate worms
