I know how scarey all these things can be to any one individual, but I'm not afraid of anything. You hear me - not anything!!!!! ONLY SPIDERS!!!!
Any kind, any where, any shape, any color ---------- YIKES!!!!!! :grr:

I know!! People just do NOT understand that if you are afraid of them, that means ALL of them!!! I can't tell how many times I've been laughed at for being scared of a "baby" spider!!! I don't segregate! :lol:

I have just started driving, and I AVOID those situations. Especially when they are 4-laned highways without a light. Or, if there if the cross-road goes over a hill. Just the thought of a car smashing into me gives me the willys!!!!! :roll:

No, seriously, I don't fear the creepy crawly things or heights or storms. But I'll confess I'm a bit of a homophobe. Not fear that someone will think I'm gay (duh!). But I just don't like hanging with the rainbow, banner-waving, militant gay crowd. And don't get me started on women who don't look like women. *shiver* Ick!

UUUHHHH!!!! Last picture I saw of you, you looked like a RABBIT!!!!

And I do have a fear of heights!!! Put me in a 60 story building with 2" thick glass between me and the outside and I still freak!!!

Sorry GD, I couldn't resist!!

What is wild about my fear of heights is that as a kid I would climb tall trees and think nothing of it. AND I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS-THE WILDER THE BETTER!!! BUT, put me onsomething like the looping starship at astroworld or a ride where my feet dangle from very far off the ground and I AM A MESS!!! GO FIGURE!! :roll:

Well my only real phobia is claustrophobia. I cannot ride in a car unless I am sitting next to a door. I dont know whether this has anything to do with claustrophobia or not but I cannot tolerate a person or persons standing too close to me..so close that I cannot walk away without bumping into someone. Needless to say I avoid large crowds!

The only thing I fear is fear itself.

Spiders for the most part are not a good thing! Funny, though, I can see a tarantula wandering around the grounds at our plant and not be bothered. Would feel differently, of course, if she were sitting on my desk in the office!

I have a fear of going under water. I used to have a strong fear of going into pools or lakes. That's become better thru the years. I venture in our community's pool, no problem. As long as I stay in the 3 foot section I'm fine!

I don't do roller coasters either. I get very nauseous and a terrble headache afterwards. A few years ago I made a promise to my youngest daughter, who's afraid of coasters, to take Dramamine and Excedrin so I could go on them, if she would ride them too. Here I was all looped up walking around our area's amusement park, Paramount's Kings Island, feeling well drunk. LOL And she still chickened out! My girls went off into the safe ride section (scrambler, spider, etc.) and my hubby and I sat down at a beer garden area. I fell asleep! Just put my head down and dozed off. LOL That was my last outing up there. She's older now and each year swears she'll go on the coasters with her dad. What she needs is a dare devil friend to pull her on one. Where can I hire one? My problem isn't fear, it's I get so dang sick it's not worth it! Hey that swing type ride does the same thing too!!! I'm a wuss I know.

But seriously, I have a fear of falling. Heights don't bother me if I have something to hold on to. I can climb a 100' fire tower, but I get anxious if I'm on the roof cleaning gutters only 10' above the ground.

I've been workin' on that "spider" thing for a few years now! After getting some ID books and trying to figure out each specie I come across, I find myself starting to respect those little fellas!

Water! I'm almost convinced that I must have drowned in a previous life!!.........p
