I am scared of:
Flying (I do it only because I have to but no-one ever wants to sit next to me on a plane)
Heights
Spiders
Butterflies
Dogs that I don't know
Cows (it's their tongues that freak me out)
and
vomit (I really cannot watch someone being sick, I keep thinking their eyes are going to pop out)
Oh Corrie, if only it was a dream!!!!!!
I'm glad I'm not on my own about wasps, errrr!
I used to be frantic about any food contained in foil, ie KitKats as they were as I feared a stray part being bitten.
I also cannot stand the feeling of biting sponges just typing this gives me goose pimples.
I also have a fear of crowded places, I really panic oh and I have to sit by the wing on a plane in case the engine drops off so I can tell the captain.
Bit of a recently developed phobia, this one. I have a fear of photos of erect cocks - I dream they are chasing me across a giant Stilton cheese and my feet keep getting stuck in the blues bits. :shock: :shock: :shock:
My teeth are going all funny at the thought of running wooden lolly sticks across my tongue!!! SHUDDER
The findings were Fred:
Dry sponge much worse
Artificial sponge
Teeth rubbing and a squeaking sensation
Those were the votes from the swedish jury
Ok I have to give you people this
It also contains some information about each phobia is named, various treatments and help things that let you get on with your life like fearless Fred.
I hope this may help somebody, if it doesn't then atleast a may make interesting reading for others.
I can handle the Judysnog, it's the mushrooms and beetroot that I'm scared of!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Not a phobia but I have to agree with HarryO in that I can't think of a worse way to go than being burned to death (or burned alive, whichever).
I don't think I have any real phobias, Judy might say differently but I can't think of any myself.

My phobia is of edges. Heights don't bother me, but if someone stands too close to an edge, it makes me go all wibbly (Yes that is a real word :P )
I used to work with some people who had strange phobias.
One was scarred stiff by big potted plants, we all thought he was joking till we cornered him with a large Yuka.
and there was this lady who was petrified by buttons, but only if they were loose. Buttons on clothing were fine, but if one fell off ........
Not quite a phobia but something I've avoided due to a genuine fear all the same.
Emotions.
More specifically, allowing myself to get close.
But that's all been cracked open and spilt on the floor and I think I may be in the wrong place right now.
So if I'm not around for awhile I'll either be pleading with every man who shows an interest to keep me, or damaging myself till I'm comfortably numb again.
Hope you all get over your fears too.
Bye for now.
I luagh in the face of spiders, in fact i love them, the reason is that because my wife is terrified of them, when she sees one and freaks out i come to the rescue and for the next hour or so can pretty much demand anything i want from her, shes such a grateful little minx. Whats even better is the bigger/hairier the spider, the bigger (hairier??) my reward.
As for my own phobia, at present Im terrified of starting smoking again.
I was going to tell you about my phobia here, but then I read Libra's post and it made me feel really sad
(((((((((Libra)))))))) Hope you manage to work things out
