Phobias

Well, I have pretty bad arachnophobia - cannot watch or touch even dead spiders. This one I fear the most of all :arrow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenaria_atrica

And I have one more, which actually prevented me from becoming a part-time guide for Japanese tourists. Since I was about 6 years old, I found out I could not enter any narrow building with high ceiling, mainly churches. Big buildings (museums, Tokyo Dome

) are okay, but narrow and high ones... urgh. I always get pretty sick and have to leave, otherwise I faint. Which sucks, because I like churches, especially gothic ones - but I simply cannot enter. My wife claims it's because I'm a spawn of evil. :x

Hey, I'm the same with churches :shock: Once while singing in church everything went dark and I couldn't see for 3 minutes or so, I totally freaked out. And generally whenever I enter a church I get dizzy and feel like throwing up, I think it's the air.

Clearly, You are a spawn of evil, too.

It's pretty much confirmed that I'm the Antichrist. (they wouldn't let me go into a cathedral in Rome, once, ~the boobs of the devil~)

But the air in churches is still bad.

XDD

By now I remember my biggest fear (can't believe it took me so long to think of it). I'm terrified of speaking in front of crowds and oral exams and the like. As in, panic attack terrified.
Which kind of sucks since I study languages and will have to do them a lot XD.

When I was in Russia we entered a church (a small wooden church since the big one wasn't finished) lots of people were in there and an old woman turned around and started hissing!
She just stared at us and hissed, I must be the reincarnation of something evil... or should just wear a scarf on my head next time

Churches are ok for me... they're nice and big, but churchtowers are something completely different D:

If you had make up on, that could've been it. Make up is for whoars.

And we're way OT, no? Oh well.

orthodox church requires you to cover the hair and even though i knew it, i just ignored it in that very moment, so well... i became a devil D:

yes... very OT... i'm scared by threads going off topic D:

I haven't noticed any phobias yet. I'm ok with small rooms, metros, boxes, I have traveled by plane several times, my current job is 5-8m in the air in a 1x2,5m basket, I have no problems with insects or snakes, I could probably jump the goat (or horse or whatever it is), I have no problems swimming, also underwater...

I must be quite boring...

We used to live on the 6th floor... I always used the elevator. It was old, but ok, though it always got down a tiny little bit when someone got in. Then we moved to another flat which is on the 1st floor and there's no elevator here. I had about 3 nightmares with the old elevator, thank you very much. X_X;;; Always about falling down and such. I have no problem with any elevator but I think I wouldn't go into that particular one.

I fear being upside-down, really high places (> 50m) and wasps and bees...

Megalodons.

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY.

Just the thought that they MIGHT be existing in deep-ocean trenches still gives me the willies.

Oh, and spiders.

Seriously; I think they're from outerspace or something. Just the way they move is unnatural.

VioletCamicat · **Reply #43 on:** June 13, 2008, 03:28:27 AM

Asthenophobia- Fear of fainting or weakness... very fresh though and I hope I'll get over it.

But those are SO AWESOME. Man, I wish they still existed. But there isn't any proof for that so don't worry too much about it XD.

Nice creature, really. I wouldn't want to be its dentist.

This terrible picture belongs to its respective owners, not me. No. Never.

I don't dislike churches, as long as I don't touch the holy water, it's okay.

Anna · **Reply #48 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:14:21 PM

It's not really about churches... more like about narrow buildings with high ceilings. :shock:

I'm highly Arachniphobic, Acrophobic (fear of hights), and I don't like to travel alone because i'm terrorfied of getting lost and not being able to find my way around.
