Like being scared? O_O Options

[DementedCashew]

Lol, this is like a double topic for both fear and fetishes. So what fetishes do all of you have?

[X-M-O]

I don't think I'm interested in anything to the point of calling it a fetish, lol.
Maybe chocolate... but I don't know if that's possible. XD

I'm afraid of a lot of random things that make no sense, even to me, but I can't remember half of them.
I usually remember them when I rediscover my fears in the middle of being afraid of whatever those things are. O_O

A fetish for me would be voice, eating, and eating toilet paper, unused of course.

I have quite a bit of fears let me think trains but not being inside one just being near one, thunder,
dogs except for the really cute ones that don't look like they want to rip my throat out, Porcelain dolls,
Mannequins, the dark but not always sometimes I adore the dark it's weird, closed spaces, odd numbers
excluding 5 and multiples of 5 except 15 30 3 115 130 135 etc., constant ticking noises at a certain volume
like clocks and metronomes, most germs, and my worst fear by far is being physically touched in any way
I've actually cried because someone touched my shoulder :/ there might be more but that's all I think of off
the top of my head

[X-M-O]

I'm not really afraid of being touched, but I certainly don't want people touching me, lol.
Germs... Yeah, I know what you mean. ><

Dogs can be cute, but not too many of them (and they smell...).

I've never had an issue with closed spaces or open spaces, though I am deathly afraid of heights (I get dizzy looking over two-story balconies, lol).

What would you do if you had to go on the glass floor in the CN tower?

[kayden997]

Just waiting in a line for an intense ride is scary enough.
Of course when it's over I want to go on it again.

Never was afraid of heights so... +1 Me vs X-M-O
But then again I'm terrified of small spaces so -1 Me vs X-M-O

I've been to the Miami international airport (mostly glass) and was so dizzy... I didn't want to just get on the aeroplane after that. ><

I'd most likely get dizzy and nauseated. =\

Theme park rides are great, I've never been afraid of them despite my fear of heights. Not sure why that is...
Same with flying in an aeroplane, I'm quite comfortable in them even looking out the window. 0.o

I don't see what is scary about small spaces... do you feel like you're being suffocated or something?

[kayden997]

yes.... And aeroplane? In Canada, they're just airplanes

[X-M-O]

I spell aeroplane correctly, lol. (British English spelling, but it's the same word.)

You would feel suffocated if you were in a very small helicopter then?

[Tsutanai]

Aeroplane makes me think of a plane made out of an aero chocolate bar

Fears are weird because they're different for everyone some people might feel suffocated
in a helicopter but some wouldn't even if they both had a fear of small spaces

It's true, fear is a strange thing. But everyone has fears, even if they are afraid to admit it.

[Shadyone]

I have a fear of fears.
I am fearful of germs.. mostly (anything that looks dirty I won't touch or be near, especially mould. However for toilet I don't wash my hands but I touch everything through tissue, I never sit on a toilet anywhere ever, and I even open the door with a tissue.)
Also spiders and insects.

[Sparrowsmith]

I'd say I have quite a few fears, I just rarely let them stop me doing anything, so I don't think they count. I'm probably just cautious.
I guess... Wasps?

Sure. I fear wasps. Probably because I've never been stung before, and I don't fancy experiencing a new unpleasant experience.

[DementedCashew]

Wowsy, I never expected this topic to be so popular. And as for me I have vertigo and Acrophobia, vertigo means I get dizzy when looking down from even 10 feet above, and Acrophobia is a fear od heights/falling. For me it is hereditary I think, I also have a fear of eye trauma, being near large bodies of water, airplanes, boats, and of things falling out of the window. Lol.

[X-M-O]

Wow, I don't know if I actually have vertigo, but I should look into it. o.o

I don't like being touched anywhere, but I'm especially sensitive in the face/eyes/mouth area (which is why I can't wear contacts and I hate the dentist). I love water though, in any amount, so long as I'm not in the water (it's beautiful, but I don't like the icky salt water or nasty, brown "fresh" water).

Wait... things falling out of the window?

[DementedCashew]

Yeah, I don't like spit touching me at all, not even mine. And yeah, things falling out of the window, like if I'm holding my phone while I'm looking out the window but my phone is halfway out, I'm afraid it might fall.

[X-M-O]

Oh, I think that is also in relation to a fear of heights thing. ^^

Ew, no... saliva is gross. =\

[DementedCashew]

For me, it isn't an "all-out phobia" I just don't like saliva when it comes out of the body, while in the body I have no problem with it. I'm afraid of the smell if someone hasn't brushed their teeth or washed their mouth out with mouthwash.

[X-M-O]

Ew... yeah... I guess I don't really have a phobia of it, but I really can't stand smelling someone else's breath (look dude, you're too close or you simply haven't been taking care of your teeth very well...), lol.
