I love heights, I love getting really really high and then leaning over and feel the adrenaline .

My fears ares snakes and also diseases like motor neuron deseases, HIV, and a painful from of cancer basically anything where when the doctor says you willl die from it and especially the first one where it is painful and will mean that the last few weeks people have to wash you and such taking all all dignity

Dentophobia - Fear of dentists
Spheksophobia - Fear of wasps.
Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns.
Thalassophobia - Fear of the sea.
Gamophobia - Fear of marriage.
Mottephobia - Fear of moths.
Ophidiophobia - Fear of snakes. (Snakephobia)
Meningitophobia - Fear of brain disease.
Panthophobia - Fear of suffering and disease.
Pathophobia - Fear of disease.

:D

Come on then, admit it - who's got triskaidekaphobia or phobophobia?

- Spiders.

- All snakes and other poisonous things.

Heights and being ignored.

Waits for the inevitable joke.........

Incog.

Sorry? Oh, I wasn't listening ;)

Cotton wool; I don`t know why, it`s something I`ve been afraid of since childhood. The thought of it right now sends shivers through me.

In no particular order:

Snakes, Clowns, Heights, Oxtail Soup. :Sprint:

Not bothered by spiders at all, in fact have picked them up if they look friendly :D :D

It happens all the time.You speak to people on a regular basis once twice a week and get to know them and their life history.They in return cannot ever remember the smallest detail about you and you have to repeat everything that you have told them time and time again.It is that gives me a sort of phobia about joining any organisation.Started when I took my kids to mother and toddler groups and when I joined the National Childbirth Trust.Found it just goes on and on.

Some might say it's clique issue but I think it is just rudeness.

I have a few but my latest one is the phobia about petrol pumps!

others are spiders, the sound of bees/wasps, crowds.

I haven't quite got a phobia about LIFE but I'm getting there.;)

Caves & similar dank/ dark holes in the ground (even Wookey Hole which is huge and illuminated gives me the shudders - but I have been) and clowns 'cos I think they are sinister

Landing is not as scarey as you might imagine - the worst bit is the pressure change affecting your ears, usually the cabin staff hand out boiled sweets, which can help to 'pop' your ears & equalise the pressure. :)

Funny thing - I don't like heights, but looking down out of a plane doesn't seem the same as, say, off the edge of a cliff - you'll love it :tu:

I have flown - twice - and managed not to get hysterical although it was a near thing. It's not the flying that bothers me particularly (ok well it does then!) but actually SEEING a plane flying past and having to get close to one - I'm sitting here now on the verge of panic just thinking about it! :Yikes:
When I went to Cyprus a few years back we had to walk across the tarmac to the plane - I had to be carried inside! :rofl:
