I'm totally with you on this. And stuff like Jackass will show them actually doing it, not just faking like on CSI or something.

I have a bit of claustrophobia. I hate feeling trapped in crowded places like planes, but also long lines or busy stores/restaurants. I can usually deal though.

I've had panic attacks, too, so I've developed a fear of fear (take that Roosevelt!). When I get a bit nervous I fear having another panic attack.

i have the same issue, and i'm usually able to deal but a crowded elevator is out of the question, and when a plane stalls on the runway for too long, i start freaking out. ironically, i have a fear of planes only when we're on the ground. lol

This sounds odd but I have a real fear of looking up at tall buildings. It makes me feel dizzy and uneasy on my feet.

That is odd! Well, maybe not so much. It's the thinking about flyig that scares me more than the flying itself.

I'm okay on planes now, but I'm kind of a wreck before I get on, until we're in the air. Once we're in the air, I realize it's not that bad and I'll be fine.

oh, i'm fine unless we're stalled or taxi-ing and the plane is full of people. then i get all claustrophobic and twitchy.

When I used to smoke a lot of weed I loved looking at the stars, but sometimes the realization that I was stuck to this ball hurtling through space gave me a panicky feeling.

The only time I get claustrophobic is when I'm actually being pressed in between two walls, in which my chest feels like it's expanding and will eventually pop. Extremely narrow corridors will do that. Being in a crowd annoys me, but would never fright me.

Things that make me feel actual anguish or sickness are:

* hospitals
* relationships
* most children
* maggots

Strap a bungee cord or parachute on me or cover me in spiders and I'm just fine. lol I've taken honeycomb from a bee farm, as well. Insects and bugs aren't attractive, but I've always found it strange to be afraid of them.

Yeah, since I've typed the word I've been gagging and shivering all morning at my desk here. God, I fucking hate maggots. Here's a really nasty story.

Years ago, I went on a road trip to visit family in New Orleans / Baton Rouge and I accidentally left a filter of grounds in the coffee pot. When I got home about two weeks later, I opened the filter box to find the coffee grounds COVERED in several inches of FAT, WRIGGLY MAGGOTS!!! THERE MUST HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF THEM! THE ENTIRE TRAY WAS FULL TO ALMOST THE TOP NEAR MY FINGERS! I STARTED SHRIEKING AND RAN OUT OF THE APARTMENT, LEFT MY DOOR OPEN, RAN DOWN THE STAIRS TO MY FRIEND'S APARTMENT TO HAVE HIM TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE DUMPSTER. lol Sorry about the caps, but FUCK. I even had him disinfect the entire area. NEVER leave grounds in coffee pots, How did the fly/flies get in there?! Why did they lay their SACS THERE?! WTF FWEJRJWJRWJWFjk

My brother used to scare me with maggots, he always had them cos he fishes.. and I remember him taunting me with them when I was young.

When I was renting, the house I lived in had maggots everywhere, we were infested, and I could open a book I had been reading and they were inside the book even. I kinda must have gone a bit crazy. cos they were literally everywhere and I couldnt rest or sleep, I was looking everywhere for them, trying to remove and kill them. It was horrible.

I remember when my hamster died, she went into her fluff and fell asleep, she was near death anyway and would sleep alot, but the summer was really hot then, and I had the window open most of the time, (same house) sad when she was sleeping I went to check on her, and she had kinda the shits and stuff but when I lifted the fluff off her, to check she was ok, there was big slimy maggots that had got to her.. sad

I have a completely irrational fear of rollercoasters.....don't ask!!!

and I am deathly afraid of deep water/drowning..... eek Its insane but I start to hyperventilate when I start getting too deep....which is counterproductive since if I start gulping in mass quantities of water, I'll drown....nuts

I think my greatest fear is failure in anything I do and dissapointing someone who believed in me. I have this completely unhealthy drive to succeed that keeps me going, and I know that without it, I wouldn't be whenre I am today. Sometimes my fears are the only things that keep me going, as if I don't even want the end result it can bring.

I also fear [and greatly despise] rodents and ALL insects. *shiver* And large mammals.

I guess that's abt it.

i used to hyperventilate in deep water too, until someone i trusted took me out in it and patiently helped me acclimate to it. now, my swimming is a little clumsy, but i'm not afraid anymore and i don't hyperventilate. have you tried getting used to it or have you just decided you're not a swimming kinda guy?

I'm okay in boats, especially small boats (large ones make me kind of seasick)

But I used to be freaked out in the ocean when I couldn't touch the bottom.

Since I lack gills and fins, I've pretty much decided that swimming is best left to the fishies.....nod lol

Seriously though, I want to take lessons so that I can start swimming as an alternative cardio program....I won't be able to run like the wind forever you know..... razz

The weird thing with my water phobia is that I used to windsurf...no fear doing that, but petrified of falling off the board and sinking to the bottom, since it feels like I'm swimming with cement blocks on my arms and legs.....and probably still would be an avid windsurfer if I could settle down in a decent spot....too much moving around in the military.....

My Mum had a tub of maggots dropped on her when she was a child. I cant remember why that came about. As far as I know she isnt frightened of them though.

OH my GAWD I would have DIED. Did you throw away the coffee pot? I would have. lol

I did all kinds of grossnastyick shit when I was doing vet work, but the only thing that ever sent me running out of a room screaming was a cuterebra. Which is basically a giant maggot that grows under the skin, and it can look like a regular old abscess at first glance, but. . . so yeah, this vet is looking at this cat and goes, "oh, it's a cuterebra", and I ask what that is, and they tell me, and good thing it wasn't me holding the critter, because I still would have run out of the room screaming, cat be damned.
