Phobias

Seriously, there are these leeches in Southeast Asia that somehow get up your nose and start sucking a lot of blood. I saw it on Natl Geo. It was horrible.

Oh well. A fish up your penis is worse. (South America)

I hate clowns, stairs and sharks.

Though stairs I'm a bit more tolerant of then the other two.

Seriously, the next person who bumps or touches me just because they're standing too close is gonna get an earfull...they'll probably think I'm crazy, I'm good with that if it means they'll keep their distance.
I mean shit, do they DRIVE like that, gently nudging the car in front of them? No.
Same shit should apply everywhere.

I couldn't agree more. I even wrote something about it one day. http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1412958

...and on that note: last week I was in a movie a friend of mine was shooting, and I had to get my ass halfway across the bridge on the right in the pic below:



Fucking. Terrifying.

is it the fear of falling down stairs? like a sort of panic attack when you walk up them? i know people who freak out in elevators cause they're afraid that they'll stop and break down.

I don't like escalators, but stairs don't bother me.

Yes it is a fear of falling down them. Walking up or down them, more specifically down them though.... But sometimes when I'm walking up, I feel like I might fall backwards if my feet don't have good positioning.

It's pretty irrational, but I suspect it has something to do with a past life.

Likewise for my fear of sharks, since I live in the fucking desert (Hell aka AZ).

You need a shrink. I see a shrink. It's not so bad.

I think I have mentioned these here before...

The biggies:
Cars, well driving mostly (which no, I don't do) but I really, really don't like being in them at all. If I could avoid them completely, I totally would.
Fire

To a lesser degree:

Spiders, scorpions and dentists. And I have never liked clowns/clown dolls much, though its not really a phobia....I'm just....cautious because I know they can't be trusted.......;) I still blame Poltergeist for that one.
