i was watching dr. phil today, i think it was a repeat....but it was talking about weird phobias....does anyone have them? or know of anyone who has them?
I am afraid of over-sized things ever since i was young...like you know the pens people get as a joke....they are like 1000 times bigger than a regular one....ANYTHING oversized freaks me out...i get chills and think i'm going to throw up when i see it. I also have a fear of looking up...which again i think has to do with oversized things...it's really a weird fear, but it freaks me out!!

I have a total fear of telephones, but that's actually trauma-related, so it's not exactly weird... well, ok, anyone who's seen me panic when the phone rings might think it's weird, I guess. LOL!
I'm very afraid of the dark... does that count as weird, or just childish?  I can't sleep in a room if there's no light - I have to have a nightlight, at least, but when I lived alone I always slept with a lamp on. The weird part? I don't remember being afraid of the dark as a kid!
One of my brothers is afraid of moths. I always thought that was pretty strange.

We're really showing off our idiosynchrasies now, LOL! I am scared to death of moths! Not turantulas, not bees or wasps, no MOTHS.
And also, really big things, they are weird. I have sort of a mid-sleep-falling asleep-type dream, that I've had since childhood, where I'm in a big white room, and a fuzzy little bunny turns into a giant thorn, and then turns into a tiny speck of dust...and all my senses go berserk-differeint sights, smells, and textures morph instantaneously into one another. It's so freaky and I've never told anyone./
but the big things scare me the most. Had to mention that because it seems really strange.

I'm afraid of the dark too!  Often we leave the recessed lights above the vanity on at the lowest possible setting. Just a hint of light.
I don't think any of the rest of the things I'm terrified of are weird: needles, guns. Maybe the gun thing only in I can't stand to be near cops because they have guns. I hate it when they get on the bus or patrol by at school. Similarly I hate the ROTC kids because they practice their drills with gun like things.

and i put up curtins in my new apartment a few weeks ago, and they freaked me out! because the window was so big, and the drapes were really long, i also freaked out when i put my fabric (which is a pretty big size) on my wall behind my bed....my tummy got in knots for a few days, then i stopped obsessing over it....
so yeah, monster trucks freak me out....just anything abnormally huge makes me cringe!
i'm kinda scared of haunted feeling places...but really who isn't? oh and the catholic church...there is always someone possesed frm there....that freaks me out too!

And slugs. And swimming with fish - but that's just an extension of my MAJOR shark phobia (ever had a panic attack whilst swimming? It's not fun  ).

I was in a zoo once and told my daughter that this pretty yellow and purple snake would make a great pair of shoes and got this nasty look from someone there.

This fear (unlike my fear of throwing up) is completely laughable. I don't think I realized it until about a month of so ago when I was driving down the road and one of these things drove past me. I was really afraid! And within the next 3 days I saw 2 more. So strange.
Anyhow my fear pretty much applies to any white van along these lines...
It's funny too because I don't think I thought twice about it when I was living in Italy and these things are all over the place, but here - that's another story.
I think it's too many action movies...I feel like someone is going to open the door, drag me in, and force me to reveal government secrets or something.
LOl this is making me laugh..what a weirdo.

Mine is kinda awful...but I have a major phobia of little people...if there's just one, it's OK...but if there's a bunch, I go nuts and feel like throwing up. For example - is it Lord of the Rings where the beginning is a TON of little people??? I forget if that's the movie or not...but I literally had to run to the bathroom and couldn't watch it. I know that's awful, it makes me feel bad..but I can't help it!
My other one is of muppets/E.T./etc. Always have been grossed out by them. I even got a note in 6th grade because we were going to watch E.T. in Spanish and I would have been sick. I don't know what I'm going to do when my baby starts wanting to watch Seseme Street and stuff!
OH - and at Chuck E. Cheeses --- those HUGE muppet things that are in that band...I freak out as much as the little kids do, but I hide it of course Those things really make me nausous....
