Ok me first

Id like to say Im not afraid of anything but there are some things that make me quiver.

-The idea of getting stabbed in the hand, more so than being stabbed anywhere else. I'm shivering just thinking about it now...

-The dark (well kinda), I can walk around inside or outside in the dark no worries but what makes me uncomfortable is say I open my back door at night I would really get nervous if I had to put my back to the outside and stand in the doorway.

True Story.

Anyway G'head OOT

The dark? Unusual? http://www.dictionary.net/unusual

Sorry I can't think of anything - I'm pretty badass obv.

Im afraid of drinking milk right from the carton, cant do it.

Windmills

The modern tall white kind feel like they are going to fly off and be like a giant boomerang of death flying at me.

the old 'holland' style ones just generally creep me out.

I used to have social phobia/social anxiety, Id say that being afraid of people is pretty unusual. It was so bad that there were tons of times that Id have adrenal spikes pretty often and have lots of panic attacks. ****ing sucked as a kid. Read a bunch of self help stuff since therapy never worked and now its like 1/5 of what it once was.

I am a little bit afraid of heights, which is not unusual. However, what is very unusual (and I generally don't even mention this to people in the offline world, because I know how strange it sounds) is my physical reaction. When I, for example, look over a railing 20 stories up or whatever, I get a strange, uncomfortable tingling sensation in my nuts. I've never heard of anyone else having this, and I don't know how else to describe it. They just "tingle". It's very WTF.

Had this once while napping on my couch soaked in the sun. It was the weirdest thing ever.

no, I know exactly what you are talking about, they feel almost like they tighten up a little too, tingly then shrinking feeling, like they are getting pulled back.

I made this thread a while ago. I'm afraid of 2 things that are basically the same

1) when walking up uncarpeted stairs, I'm afraid I'm going to trip and bash my teeth into the corner of the steps
2) when drinking from a drinking fountain, I'm afraid someone is going to come up behind me and smash my face into the fixture

I had a friend who was scared of circles.

She should have been scared of her husband instead, though.

im afraid something is going to crawl out of the toilet and bite my penis while im taking the kids to the pool.

i have an irrational fear of syrup and honey. it really freaks me out. the infectious stickiness of these types of substances is like nails on the chalkboard to me.

unfinished wood

Im afraid of elevators

trying new foods.

The turbans those Sikhs wear are pretty scary.

As a kid I was afraid of those round door-knob stoppers (black rubber ball surrounded by metal - to keep the door knobs from bashing the wall). I had a dream one tried to grab me.



Terrifying!

+1 on elevator fear, also marginally scared of escalators.

pickles

cotton balls

weird moles freak me out

also most things that creepy crawl, but that's not unusual

I was doing laundry at hte laundry mat, and was really tired, I went it the bathroom (no urinal) to take a piss, open the seat, lean my head against the wall and close my eyes while pissing, hear something scraping around in the toilet as I peed looked down, and there was a big rat. I than jumped back and pissed all over my shirt/pants etc. If I had to take a ****...i dont even want to think about it. My grandparents, also had a big snake in their toilet after coming home from a vacation.


The balls feeling when looking at heights, I get that too, it is natural, when your adrenalin starts pumping your balls do hide in your body, google fight or flight.



Im have a fear of my nut tubes getting twisted, becuase in HS one of our teachers was just standing there, and than keeled over, some how his nut tubes got twisted and he had to go in for surgery



Jumping off of swings is my odd fear. When I was a kid, one of my buddies jumped off a swing landed on his feet, and then lost balance then fell on his butt, no big deal right? he than just sat there and didnt move, and than he started puking all over himself, WTF!



his nutsack was pierced by a roofing nail.

Feet. I can't stand people's feet. I don't have a problem with my own or even touching my own, but if someone gets to close to my feet I freak out. Along the same lines if someone elses feet are getting close to me i lose my ****. I don't freak out as much if people have shoes on, but barefoot will drive me nuts.

Drains in pools. Fear that I will get trapped in it and will drown.

Is this a common occurrence? Are you in elementary school?
