Your Weaknesses and Fears (Phobias)

    The forums have been archived. Please read this thread for more information.

    • As the middle child and younger sister of a genius (like for real my older brother is qualified as a genius and is actually a scientist in the bio-medical field), my greatest fear is failure. Because of this I'm driven to succeed in as many things as I can and it really is a bit hard. I fight for good grades and as many degrees as I can just so I feel good enough to stand in my brother's shadow. I've been like this my entire life, so honestly the idea of failure is close to death to me.

      I'm also absolutely terrified of lizards, they're creepy and nasty!

      I used to be scared of the dark and dogs, then for a period i wasn't scared of much really (save being confronted by someone with a knife, but not a gun weirdly) and now im really scared of heights in certain situations, like ferris wheels, even ones like 20m. Weird thing is i used to frickin love heights, i reveled in them and all dem treetop obstacle course shizzle waz ma fevs. Some days i say to myself: WILL. Y U NO LIKE HEIGHTS N E MORE???
      funny thing is that im in the same situation with the confruntation with the knife :D i just dont know why and guns dont scare me :D

      i dont fear sh*t

      The above stated is a lie. Everyone has a fear of something , doesn't matter if its big or small.

      Also if you don't have fear , then you are never nervous etc. , which I highly doubt.

      Not everyone. My brother doesnt fear anything.

    • Fear

      I have a strange fear of looking out windows and looking into mirrors, I'm worried that I'll see something I don't like, but I'll having nothing I can do about it... (Not meaning seeing my face in a mirror)

      Sucks to be me since windows and mirrors are everyday things you can't really help but see... -_-

      I'm scared of select few insects, if I had certain ones (millipedes being my biggest insect fear) crawling over me I'd go into shock
      I'm also scared, not of heights, but of falling from them XD There's a difference :p
      And finally, I'm scared of being alone... I hate the feeling of being alone for too long, if I'm in the house by myself and didn't go out AND the internet was down I'd probably last a week before I started going insane... I usually last 20 minutes before I start talking to myself regardless of situation O.o
      Can you belive that i dream a lot falling from a 5 floor flat? its awesome :D I love it because when i hit the ground i dont give a s**t i just get up and continue walking :D awesome :thumbup:

    • oh dear.... I have a couple of them.

      Pediophobia: A fear of dolls.
      Though in all reality, its just porcelain dolls that freak me out. I mean just look at their faces... they are just so... freaky. The last porcelain doll I had I threw it into the sea.

      Aeroacrophobia: A fear of open high places.
      This one isn't as bad as my pediophobia because it isn't the height that scares me, its the fact that I could fall off and die.

      Androphobia: Fear of men (which is connected to my Chiraptophobia: fear of being touched)
      I hate being touched by guys. Really, it gives me the chills just thinking of it. I can't even hug a guy unless I know them well, and have grown comfortable around them.

      Aviatophobia: Fear of flying (in a plane)
      this has to be like my number one fear... the only way I wont freak out when the plane is taking off, or in the air, is if I have taken some sleeping pills and I am fast asleep in my seat.

    • I try to hide my weaknesses but since this is online I guess its ok to share. I have 3 main fears.

      I hate heights. I cannot stand them so I therefore hate flying. If we were supposed to fly, we would've been given wings.

      I have a fear of needles. This probably stems from when I was 2. I had to have surgery and I didn't have a clue what was going on. I got a needle in my hand and woke up with stitches in my face which turned into permanent scars. Pretty scary for a toddler.

      And finally, I have a fear of being alone. It's not so much the fact that nobody is around from a social standpoint. I'm just afraid of what I could do if no one is there to stop me or make me tough it out.
