it's hilarious fun to throw the skins at her.

My mates girlfreind is afraid of bananas while another mate is scared of chewing gum

ok abroad where there are poisonous ones fair enough. But in the uk!?

They remind me of Nosferatu

Makes my skin crawl. Seriously.

and i have a friend who scared of velvet

and little lumps of greasy dust and unexplained gritty bits. I am actually quite a dirty person though, and don't really hoover, so it's my own fault.

is terrified and repulsed by small holes, grouped close together...Say if someone had pushed a pencil loads into a rubber or something.

That's the oddest.

Was afraid of lipstick AND badgers. Seriously.

But I suppose that's quite normal But someone was kind enough to give it a name. Phantasmaphobia...that's what I have.

I have heard of this too. I really don't understand it at all maybe it is just an extension of some sort of clothing phobia.

I know someone who is phobic of "gunge" as in Noel Edmonds and Dave Benson Phillips programmes.

A fellow DiSer is really scared of windfarms!

my nephew can tell if you've eaten them recently by smell alone - and if you touch him within a couple of hours of eating them without having washed your hands he can also tell.

He then tells you you're being mean, cries and makes you wash your hands :(

He finds lunch time at school very hard :(

but I'm not exactly thrilled when people wave them about near my face (blown up of course)...possibly because at the tender age of six, I went through the traumatic experience of having a balloon bursting in my face when I was drawing on it...yeah that made me cry quite a lot at the time.

Is apparently a fear of the Pope.
Irrational, non?

Or more specifically, eggshells.

Horrible. Just HORRIBLE.

My sister used to hate buttons as a child, she's grown out of it now, but still doesn't particularly like them.

I hate when people are afraid of stupid things, it makes me angry. I can understand phobias a tiny bit more, because the person generally realises that it isn't a justifiable fear, however still can't help it. But people who are scared of spiders and suchlike irritate the hell out of me.

of wind turbines :( they make me cry and feel sick. even a picture of one. *shudders*

(as in, it's normally not) i become convinced there is a zombie behind it.
it's a really annoying phobia.

not so much a phobia, but i have a healthy fear of polystyrene (one i'm glad is shared, i thought that was just me) or more specifically when it squeaks and twists, ugh

it's really horrible.

of wasps. Fuck knows why, because I know their stings aren't actually that painful, but if one comes near me I can't help but flap my arms and do a weird dance that makes me look like vaguely like Michael Flatley on acid.

The worst thing is it makes it quite difficult for me to enjoy a pint outside in summer.

being chewed. Physically recoiling now at the thought of it. Flatmate just came in with a tin of mushy peas resulting in me freaking out. However, I can get revenge, she's scared of mashed potato.

mirrors in the dark

I can understand fears of man-made heights, because things can quite easily go wrong with them, and even if they 'seem' safe enough they haven't been around long enough for anyone to know, whereas hills and trees and cliffs have been around for lots and lots of times. Like when we were on this school trip, and it was a perfect-weather day, and we were sitting over the side of something that could barely even be called a cliff and our teacher went crazy about it. I like climbing cliffs. And I don't understand how somebody can be scared of looking at heights, because it doesn't even make any sense. What's there to be scared about a view. This is assuming we're still talking natural, again. I'm so totally rambling now aren't I? I've typed way too long to abandon reply though, sorry.

mixing food together, preferring to eat everything completely separate. Fortunately this problem has now gone, almost..

so, so much. i thought i posted in this first time around? why is it back? ANGER

insects and bugs crawling on me at night.
I'm not scared of them at all usually though.

and other flying insects. I hate 'em!

ketchup!

of caterpillars. it's a real phobia and I don't necessarily understand it, but damn do I freeze up and start crying when i get one on me. It's a serious problem. Not afraid of anything else either...

of words with mssing letters. It's a wonder I actually managed to open this thread.

when i was a teenager. just looking at the inside wrist with all the veins visible used to make my blood go cold and make me feel sick. but this was because my family's lodger decided to slit his wrists and i saw all the blood spurting everywhere. i still don't LIKE wrists but it's ok, i can look at them.
