Can we skip this part before it goes way off track..?

Oh yeah. To some degree I'm HYDROPHOBIC too. I cannot go in the deep end of a pool or swan dive off a diving board. Nor can I swim in the ocean. I am an awful swimmer. Once I swam in my friend's lake and I flipped a shit..so I had to wear a life jacket in the water. Haha..ha. v.v

Hahahahahahaha.

I'm scared of commitment, and of darkness.

What? NO! It's me, QXC! You don't remember me from, like, half a year ago? Being a lot more childish? And idiotic?

I was referencing the fact that BOTH of you randomly CAPITALIZE words in your sentences for EMPHASIS.

Anyway, Ralren...you're walking on thin ice right now

Oh hey.
I was cleaning out a bathroom and I found this little beauty in the bathtub:

Hard to tell in the photo, but that sir, is a Brown Recluse.
My favorite.

That's only a US map.
Recluses and Hobo Spiders (basically the same animal) are also found in South-Western Canada, and have been slowly creeping south for a while. Try looking up a Hobo Spider map?

I used to suffer from Kleptophobia and Agoraphobia up to a few years ago.

I'm not quite sure how I grew out of them.
Does anyone here have any idea how this happens?

aeroacrophobia.
fear of open hights... but only extreme ones.

I guess that makes me an aeroacrophile since I simply loved skydiving and hope to do it again some time next year.

My phobia is related to insects. Motherfuckers are scary as hell sometimes.

I only just got around to this thread.... I don't particularly have a phobia of anything. Maybe Cockroaches... I don't know what it is about the things but you can't frigin kill them, you hit the damned thing and then it crawls away, you hit it again and then it acts dead. You come back 5 minutes later and it's disappeared. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! And then when you finally get to picking it up it suddenly wakes up and goes spastic. It scares the crap out of me...

All other insects I'm fine with, that's probably due to the fact I'm Australian. The average human swallows 2 spiders in there life. Just imagine that, spiders crawling around in your stomach xD

I guess I have arachnophobia and entomophobia. Well, it's almost a combination with claustrophobia. When outside, or in a large room, they don't really bother me, as long as they aren't touching me. It's times like when I'm in a car that I flip out. I was in the passenger seat of a car, and a spider was on the rear-view mirror. I sat there completely still for 15 minutes, staring at it. And I was not going to tell anyone else in the car, because I was worried they'd hit it to try to kill it, and they'd end up just knocking it off onto me, in which case I'd freak out. Also, I can't sleep in a room where I've seen multiple bugs; I'm too worried they'll crawl into my mouth while I sleep.

Oh, and I never kill bugs or spiders when I see them. I don't like my hand being that close to them, in case they don't die, but instead go into an offensive last stand, so to speak, and charge up my arm.

EDIT: I don't consider this a phobia really, but ever since I broke my arm really badly, I cannot look at videos of people doing dangerous things, like jumping two dozen stairs on a skateboard, whether they make it or not. It's too much of a gut-wrenching reminder.

Let's see, I have a fear of heights. I can't go halfway up a plastic rockwall without being scared back down >.<

And a fear of insects, or anything that crawls. I can't kill it, touch it, or look at it for too long. They are just so nasty.

I can't think of anything else, but there must be more.

I share Noxid's phobia of forgetting. I'll be at school and not be sure what day it is as well, "despite it being obvious" and freak out as events revolve around it.

Also a fear of upsetting people, mostly my dad. I HATE upsetting people, maybe because I'm incapable of reading their reactions as they are and always think it's way worse than it really is.

EDIT: Also redeads from the Windwaker. Those scare the shit out of me.
