Phobias
Do you have a phobia and if so what is it? Additionally, have you ever had one and managed to cure it?
I have a damn phobia of spiders which has been with me since childhood. I don't mind big beetles or any other bugs for that matter. Mind you, i don't like those dangerous centipedes, but they don't make me scream like a little girl.
I would love to go jungle trekking, but the fear of spiders prevents me. Looking at a photo makes the hairs stand up on my body! Just a moment ago i ran out of the kitchen shouting 'wtf' because one scuttled across my feet, much to the amusement of the old codgers playing cards. I know it seems real trivial but checking my bedroom before going to bed is getting a bit silly.
As anyone ever cured their phobia and if so, how? Spiders in particular.

I think creepy crawlies like snakes and spiders are cool.
What does scare me is big animals like cows and horses.

Spiders.
Mate I'm with you 100%
I hate the cnuts.
I know why. It's all to do with my Mum (r.i.p)
Can't stand the bastards.

Yep, I've got Arachna Phobia and Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.:)

I didn't use to like spiders much until I came to Thailand and discovered how 'orrible cockroaches are. They really give me the creeps.

Heights, i get dizzy looking at pictures from the top of towers, in fact at 6' 2" i sometimes get dizzy standing up. :)
Not heredity, as my father has spun around the outside of a few spires in his lifetime.
Thought i could overcome the fear if i did a couple of parachute jumps for charity back in the 80's but unfortunately it's still with me.

Heights and deep water are my phobias. I haven't really found a cure, just "man up" and deal with it.

Actually I got some burrowing spiders on my land, big buggers as the holes are pretty big, after the rainy season I shall be burning the old wood on top of them, after filling their little homes with petrol of course.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia . I don't like long words either TFP :)

Heights.
Tried to walk over the Bridge over the River Kwai and as soon as the ground disappeared and it was just water underneath me my arse went.
I have no shame in saying that I immediately turned round and walked straight back pushing a young girl out of the way in the process.

^ LOL I did exactly the same thing in 1989.

Snakes. I have a love hate affair with them. Love to watch shows on tv about them, but have a deep seated fear of them. When I was young, 10 yr old, my older brother would catch snakes and keep them at home. Once he chased me with a live rattle snake and one time he put a live garden snake in my bed while I was asleep.

Euro-Anthrophobia. Mild affliction....

Seppophobia...I have an extreme fear of yanks ruling the world.
I don't worry too much about the poms because they can speak English. :smileylaughing:

Clowns and spiders and small yappy people who think they know it all.
