Phobias

[Queer Eye]

I am deathly afraid of clowns.  How can I overcome this fear?

[P.C.]

Perhaps a chat with Kramer ?

passing a semi on a two lane country road.
ice on a mountain road where if you go off the road you go down a cliff.
fear of being pushed off a bridge/tall building. (i'm not afraid of heights though)
afraid of being shot by drunk country folk (grew up around guns, country people when they get drunk do stupid things)
getting bitten by a poisonous snake (this summer we found a rattle snakes nest behind my cousins house bit my cousins boxer in the eye 7ft long rattle snake)
bobcats/coyotes (bobcats sit in trees at night)
walking in the woods alone (see bobcats, snakes etc)
getting t-boned in my car because if it happend I will die (I don't have side airbags)

Airports for some reason I can't stand airports. I love flying in planes just hate the airports. I start to freak out when waiting for a flight. Although it only happens in noisy airports. For example I was at SeaTac and I loved it. But my home airport I start freaking out.  The more mallish type feel the mall has the better I feel.

I remember a few years back when somebody's pet boa constrictor got loose somewhere on Commercial Drive.  I even cancelled my doctor's appointment because his office was in that area.

yup lise, I saw it. *shivers* then there's the water snakes in the lake behind my cousins house as well oh and SNAPPING TURTLES  gawd  I hate those varmits.

I'm against animal cruelty but not when it comes to coyotes and snapping turtles. I'm sorry but I've had way too many run ins with snapping turtles. Did some nasty stuff to those mean things before. I love turtles but I'm sorry when I find I snapping turtle I have to kill it. Those things are dangerous.

I'm clausterphobic too Lil Me. 

I'm uncomfortable in huge crowds.....don't think it's an actual phobia....I just don't like it.

I'm also not good at being away from home.  Again, not a phobia....just a discomfort thing.

[Lil Me]

I think I'm almost exactly the same as you!

I never used to be claustrophobic- it's getting worse as I get older.  Won't go into caves or mazes.

I don't like crowds.  I go wiggy at Metrotown or the PNE.

Travel is ok, though.  I don't mind being away from home.

But...I like my own bathroom.  I'll often drive home instead of "going" at the mall.

ROFL.....That's me in a nutshell.  I've turned around and headed home as soon as I arrived over this issue.  Hahahaaaa

 

I don't get the 'homesick' thing all the time.  But every once in a while, it'll just hit me.....I have to go HOME NOW......and I do.  It's trickier when I'm on the mainland, and I have to suck it up if there's no ferry....lol

[Lil Me]

Here's one more:

I can't drink bathroom water.  I will walk to the kitchen sink in the middle of the night to get a drink.  Mr LM thinks I need to be in therapy over this one! :)
 

[Sportsdude]

right now, I'm scared to go on a college campus, especially with guns around. But that's do to today's events.

somewhat understandable, SD.
Better not go to the post office, lol.
