What phobias do you have?

Title says it all I guess. When I was a baby I had an infection in or around my belly button, and now I get really uncomfortable when people are poking their belly buttons or something. Touching mine makes me quite queasy and I only do so when it needs to be washed or something. Not a very big fan of belly button piercings. :redface:

Called "Omphalophobia" btw.

I don't think it's a phobia but I can't stand scraping, squeaky noises especially when you drag your nails across something, it makes my teeth feel weird. Ugh it makes me feel nasty thinking about it!

Not a phobia but really dry towels, to the point when they're almost stiff. Hate touching them with my hands, same thing with wooden handled items like tools unless they've been painted and also some types of paper, makes me shiver.

Having my ears touched or folded over.

Me too...I think it's getting worse too because pigeons are become more and more brave and are less scared of being close to humans. I also have a phobia of spiders, pretty much all insects, certain materials, vomiting (I can't stand talking about it or hearing of others being nausea...the good thing is I don't do it regularly but I hated last year because I was sick after not having puked since I was about 8)...I think that's about it really.

Not a phobia. But I have a weird, irrational fear of crumpets :colondollar:

They just make me feel so uncomfortable.......

Try eating them instead of inserting them into your anus.

Most insects and spiders. I really hate the crunch they made when squished but I can't have alive ones around either.

Dentist drill. I had braces for years and now whenever I visit the dentist and she needs to use the drill my hearts starts beating faster and I get all panicky.

I think I have Arachnophobia too, although it's not really a big deal as I don't see spiders all that often. The scariest ones are the large ones that walk around the floor; I have to flank them and keep track of them, and it's always during the night... They usually disappear though, so it's all good. :rolleyes:
