A walk into my kitchen to get a glass of water has just reminded me of my only phobia/irrational fear.

I am appalled to admit that I am totally afraid of slugs!Embarrassed

But why?It is not like they can chase you or bite you,yet they make my skin crawl. Ugggh!!!

Anyone else like to share their phobias?

^You have slugs in your kitchen? That doesn't sound sanitary!

I'm afraid of being alone, and also afraid of human interaction. It's tough being me!

As a child, I used to be really afraid of spiders, but at some point I started to love the damn things. Go figure! Centipedes still give me a little creepy-crawly, though, and I can't even think of maggots without a shiver.

Well, now you all know. If one of you pulls a 1984 on me, you'll know exactly what to put in the cage.

I've taken FDR's notion to its logical extreme: I'm afraid of being afraid!  (As r.d. laing and Gentle Giant might put it.)

I'm scared to move, I'm scared of standing still
I'm scared to change, I'm scared to stay the same
I'm so scared I want to die
I'm scared of dying
I'm scared of not being liked, not being loved
I'm scared to be alone
I'm scared of being with people
I'm scared of disapproval
I'm scared of life
I'm scared to lose what I have built
I'm scared of feeling scared
I'm scared of being ugly, being boring, being dull
I'm scared of my thoughts
I'm scared of being found out
I'm scared of Steven Berkoff
I'm scared to dance, I'm scared to speak, to sing
I'm scared my body's awkward, the wrong shape, wrong smell
I'm scared to say what I think
I'm scared to say no, or yes too often
I'm scared of disappointing
I'm scared of losing control
I'm scared of pain, I'm scared of hurting, being hurt
I'm scared this will go on 'til I die
I'm scared of losing my home, my love, my kids, my kids, my kids
I'm scared my heart will break
I'm scared of losing myself
I'm scared of finding myself
Because there might be no one there at all
I'm scared of the unknown future
I'm scared to make a wrong turn
I'm scared of the dark
I'm scared of failing
I'm scared it may be all for nothing

Brian May, I'm scared.

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT

You had to throw a Who reference into that (I would have done the same)!

Planes, the more I travel, the greater my panic is.

Due to my job I had to fly almost 50 times a year from 1997 to 2003, almost all the staff of the local airlines (First two and then only one survived) knew me, and when I entered to the plane, my double scotch was always ready.

I never shouted or bothered anybody, I just stay still and press imaginary brakes when there's turbulence.

Once we had an emergency landing, after loosing the pressure (The oxygene masks didn't worked well as in any normal Peruvian airline), throwing the gasoline to the ocean, surrounded the city 10 times, I was almost with 160 heart beats per minute, and to make it worst, the tire exploded when landing.

Now I rather drive ten hours than taking a plane except when urgent or long trips.

I don't care for bugs of any kind. I also have a fear of dead bodies. It always creeps me out to view a dead body in person.

Airplanes, worms, and electrocution have been phobias of mine forever but one I just recently became afraid of due to my fall down a hill which resulted in a broken nose and a concussion is steep hills that end in a creek full of large rocks.  hows that for specific?

I have a disliking for things like slugs, big spiders and all kinds of insects.

I creep out with things as creepy stuff suddenly appearing, like in horror movies, or the alien in signs at the kid's party. That kind of stuff creeps me out. Blair witch project anyone?

Besides those kind of things, not really.
Epic.

Slightly claustrophobic but nothing to do with elevators!

Elevator music on the other hand can be phobic!

Needles! I will never be a junkie.

\Spiders are no problem as long as they stay on the ceiling. The rest is mine! After all , I pay the rent!
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

1 - Maggots

If I come across a dead creature which is "populated" - the cats tend to hide such things in the summer, little darlings - I could quite easily lose my breakfast.

2 - Enclosed spaces

Not claustrophobia as such, but how people can go pot-holing, or even worse, cave diving...
