Phobias...

Ok so I was just pwned by my sister because she knows how to scare the shit out of me.
This got me thinking...what are other people's phobias??

Ok my personal phobia is...ketchup. I used to be fine with ketchup, but my exgirlfriend was afraid of it and now that's rubbed off on me. I can't look at it, can't smell it, and I'd probably die if I were to eat it.
I'm also deathly afraid of ventriloquist dummies *shudders*

So what are some of your fears?

Just keep it comin'

Nuclear war... that's after watching Sarah Connor get vaporised in Terminator 2, and reading Children of the Dust. I get nervous any time the U.S. has a dispute with Russia on the news... I dunno, maybe I'm just living in the Cold War.

BTW: is there a technical medical term for that? You know, like arachnaphobia?

Nukeaphobia?

Anyway, I personally cannot stand the dark unless there are others with me, my imagination will just run completely wild.

Once, I was walking home from a party and had to pass through this graveyard, ever tried walking through a graveyard at night? One of the most shit scary experiences you'll ever have. As I neared the end of it, I realised that the moon was really shining as there were no clouds about, I looked around and saw this figure standing behind one of the gravestones. My first reaction was to leg it, but I was so paralysed with fear I couldn't even move. I stood there for about five minutes until I realised... It was just a small tree.

You know you've gone batshit bonkers when you relate Tetris to Communist Russia.

Jellyfish is right up there with the unknown, for me.

Jellyfish creep me out because these mofos exist, they're invisible and can potentially be fatal (and to top it off, they travel in schools!)

The unknown would be a bit harder for me to describe. I suppose it just has to do with my insecurities of not being able to analyze something.

Latest episode of Epic Failarity
People ask why I'm such a twisted man. I reply that I have the heart of a young boy; in a jar, right next to his brain.

Falling from great heights or seeing loved ones do so. I'm not the best person to be around inside tall office buildings or bridges, I always stay as far away from the window/railing as possible and recommend others do so as well. Being rendered incapable of speech or becoming entirely mentally unsound is a close second, though I don't think either are likely to happen just imaging if they did creeps me out. Other than those I'm fine, animals aren't an issue just so long as they aren't venomous, and I'm a die hard skeptic so I'm perfectly fine with bumps in the night or odd flashes of light.

He who knows best knows how little he knows.

Any non-food item touching my mouth or tongue. I can't stand the sight of people licking their fingers after eating something...bleagh.

Considering that a human clone is only a copy of DNA matter, which is void of any personality or other defining traits aside from personal looks and genetics, I doubt they would share our fears.
My clone would pour ketchup on me....

And my ketchup fear is justified! Well...not really but...yeah. Like I said, ex got me all scared of it; her classmates in elementary poured a bottle of it over her and she couldn't see or breath so it freaked her out and it became a total fear and I picked it up.

I'm also afraid of dying. Well not dying exactly, more like how I'll die.
Drowning doesn't scare me though...

And my other fear has a medical name:
Automatonophobia - the fear of ventriloquist's dummies

OH! Forgot another fear...
I'm afraid to talk to anyone but my close family on the phone...
Fear of voices or one's own voice, or of telephones - Phonophobia

Just keep it comin'

I'm a highly empathetic being, I pick up easily on people's emotions; the closer someone is to me the more "tuned in" to them I become, so it may have been that. Although I didn't love her..we lasted 2 weeks :\

And as for the phones, lmfao it makes things so so hard! Like I was meeting someone for the first time and she called me to figure out where I was and I was like "Don't call me!!" and hung up... So she ended up texting me instead
But I think I developed that one as a kid, I was always shy and my mom would call people for me. I couldn't even call my school last month to ask them about my textbooks... I've GOT to get therapy or something.

Yeeeah I'm one messed up individual.

Just keep it comin'

lol im like a sponge too - if there is bad vibes going about in my vicinity....my spidey senses pick up on it straight away...! but thats probably just from my obsession with spiderman when i was a kid

and therapy..... to hell with therapy....! these little glitches you have in your matrix aint so bad.... ok sure you cant order a pizza on your own if your starving to death....but just take a sharp tool or something (longbow for the eyeshot! ) and go hunt a moose instead

Humans would be boring if we were all the same...! YAY for messed up individuality
hope you have free sms messaging on your phone network lol...i kid i kid
