oh, they're quite easy (and sometimes fun) for me to deal with.

the best thing to do is ask them if they can hold on for a moment while you get a pen...then just put the phone down and go watch a movie or something. biggrin

i'm afraid of large groups of strangers in enclosed spaces, most likely because i was trampled by a mob of rabid christians when i was a small child and to this day, i don't trust large groups of people in situations where they're trying to get from one place to another. i work a couple of hours earlier than 9 to 5 so i can beat having to ride to and from work in a packed subway car - the idea horrifies me.


Well that sucks pat I never knew that.

My irrational (?) fear is of things exploding in my face - whether they be elastic bands, fizzy drink caps, or something far more powerful etc.

And yes, to spare anyone the trouble - I DO realise how ironic this is considering I'm a gay man! lol

You beat me to it.

I was scared of a segment of Kate Bush's singing during a performance of 'Running Up That Hill' on Top of The Pops when I was little. I remember I had to leave the room! shake




I find the song The Boy With The Child In His Eye, a tad bit more frightening thatn Running Up That Hill. It can scar ya for life.

For me it's escalators. I've always been quite nervous of getting on them. It's the thought of stepping on the gap and falling over. When I was younger, I used to thing I'd get my shoes caught at the bottom or the top of them and get gobbled up. Recently, I nearly missed my footing on one in HMV and nearly fell over! My heart was in my mouth! Luckily nobody saw though.

I used to know a girl at school who was afraid of the sight of fish. A girl I work with is scared of bananas?

What about you?!



One of my friends fell on an escaltor.

Her hair was long, and it got ripped out of her head.. The hair went under the ending part of the escaltor.. To this day she will go up and escalator, but never down.

I'm absolutely horrified of drains in general... pool drains, sink drains, tub drains, and I won't step on a shower drain, either. Also, kind of related, I'm terrified of exposed toilet tanks. You know, a toilet with the cover off the tank. I can't go into the room. shrug

Ï HATE it when people try to hug me, massage my neck or even touch me in any way. I don`t know if i would say i`m afraid of it, but i get the same kind of feelings.


nod i feel the same way about people i don't like - i can't stand for them to touch me, and especially on my back. oddly, i'm pretty huggy-feely with everybody else. shrug



oh gawd...me too....I'm not big on shaking hands either. If I don't like your vibe, I don't want to touch you. It was very hard when I started doing the prevention work especially with the substance abuse community...they are a bunch of huggy folks. I wouldn't hug anyone. I would just smile and maybe shake hands. I had to overcome it so I could reach out to ppl.


but I still don't like to be hugged by strangers or mean ppl.

Honestly I have a fear of having a nervous breakdown in front of a lot of people.....people who I have to see on a regular basis. I'd have a hard time facing them after that.

A snake came outta the drain in the basement bathroom when my mom was in there one time. I would've crashed the whole room tryin to kill that thing. She very quietly walked out and closed the door behind her and started screamin for help.

I`ve only had a bee in my bathroom, two years ago, where i rented a small place when i went to school there. I was sure the landlords had taken it there, because i had been complaining about a lot of stuff a few days before. That probably sounds silly, but there weren`t any windows in the bathroom, and the door was closed... confuse

I've started to fear razors and needles confused. Last week I bought one of those Intuition razors for my legs, and before I even used it I was worrying of cutting myself badly. So, when I used it for the first time it really happened, I made a nasty cut. The day after I had to go to the doctor to have some blood tested, I was frightened by the thought of the needle piercing my skin. omfg

I still get the shivers when I think of it.

Don't ask my why, but I can't think of anything I'm scared of... Or at least I can't think of anything... hmmm

I'm rather optimistic in life, and I have a great sense of putting things in perspective. I'm not saying I'm never nervous, but I seldom show it... I'm just very relaxed, really.
Hence the nickname.
