happymomofboys Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have a lot of ones already mentioned. I get the heebiejeebies from styrofoam and chalk. I also don't like touching soft things with very dry hands, such as fleece blankets in winter. Opening canned biscuits makes me nervous too. This stems from social anxiety, I'm sure, but I always get a little thrill of panic when the phone rings or someone knocks on the door. I'm not afraid of talking to the person, but the sudden ring/knock startles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymomofboys Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I also hate anything that has tons of small holes that are connected to each other (wasp nests, honey combs, sacs of tadpole eggs). It makes me feel like there are tiny little eyes or something inside each little hole. Weird, I know. This one actually has a name. It's called trypophobia (I don't recommend looking it up if you have this fear as the first image is usually of a lotus seed pod *shudder*). :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8circles Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Belly button fear here too. I thought I was the only one. Mystery water- yup. Chalk itself - yup. Someone touching my neck - yup. I know I have others bu those are the ones that come up most often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ok now...you all are making me feel abnormally normal. :) I used to not like anything touching the inside of my navel ( i'm an innie) but I haven't thought of that in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have 2 weird ones. Maybe someone knows the name of these phobias. The first is wind in my mouth. Can't even stand the thought of it! It dries your mouth out and that makes me anxious and jittery and just a freakazoid. It is for this reason I'm addicted (no really, I am their #1 customer!) to Lipsmackers (to keep my lips moist) and will not speak outside on a windy day. I will cover my mouth with my hand. The dentists' hygenists are often very rude when I fight the air hose or suction. Give me a root canal over that blasted suction any day! The second is some social phobia. I don't like approaching a crowd alone, especially if I know them a bit but I'm not terribly familiar with them. I feel awkward and back in high school. :glare: It has been brought to my attention that while approaching a crowd like this, that I "rang" like a telephone. I'm guessing that it was a nervous tic, but I was completely unaware. They said that I did it every day of that week that we were all together. I seriously had no idea. I was self-talking and telling myself "it's okay, they're just people, you're walking fine, etc." when I may have blanked out for a few seconds. That would be when I "rang". I think this is a hard one to define because it only seems to come out with people who I don't know really well, so they typically don't feel comfortable enough to say anything. Those who know me well wouldn't hear the "ring" because I'm not nervous near them. So weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 This thread is making me :lol:. (Sorry about that!) The only one I can identify with so far is the snake phobia (but that's a common one, not a weird one, I think). I have worked very hard to overcome it so as not to teach my dc the same thing & have touched a snake at a local nature center & stood near one as it crossed a path in front of us recently. (And, hey, I didn't scream or run away.) I will say that growing up, as a student, I *never* looked up "S" words in the dictionary, nor did I use the "S" encyclopedia (lest I come across snake pics). :tongue_smilie: I don't like walking/being near swampy areas for fear of a croc/alligator (no, I don't know the difference between them, nor do I care) lunging out.

So now, I have to keep them covered or it feels weird. And the monster can't grab them. :D And opening Pilsbury dough products. I hate the noise, I hate anticipating it popping, I hate the feel of it popping, and I'm just sure it's going to explode all over me. I'm like this too!

Bassoonaroo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Puke. I hate puke, I panic sometimes out of the blue thinking "oh my gosh what if my kid pukes here or pukes in church or pukes at the wedding in 6 weeks" on and on and on. I haven't puked in 10 years. I am scared to death about the next time I might puke. Yes, I am totally puke crazy. :iagree: But I have you beat. May 9, 1976. Let's see, that's 36 years. Yes, whenever I am not thinking about something else, it's puke! We're currently on a family vacation and it's always in the back of my mind. We went to San Francisco and did a 1-hour boat tour and sure enough a kid puked on the boat. We are heading to Disneyland in a few days I just know I'll encounter puke. Each time dh heads out on a business trip, I wonder who at home will puke. I always am looking for it. The other day at the store, I heard the cashier telling a (regular?) customer, "Ya feeling better now?" I had just joined the line so didn't hear the beginning of their conversation and immediately thought, "He must've been sick to his stomach." And then the cashier said something like, "That must've been a bad wreck..." Duh... It's a horrible phobia because you just don't know what the next moment will bring. A knock on the door in the middle of the night, a phone call a half hour before co-op starts, etc. Oh, and I hate the feel of microfiber cloth.

TravelingChris Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I don't have any phobias though I don't like things in the wrong place like mice in the house. But I deal with it rationally. So what do I get? Three phobic children. I don't get it at all and it is rather annoying at times. Like when last week, older dd totally freaked out that a spider walked over her foot. It was night time, I was asleep, and I went and killed the spider. She continued to have a freak out panic attack on top of the closed toilet seat. She could at least realize it was totally irrational. One thing I really hate is disorganized stores. I hate these so much that I never shop at them, no matter how much I could save. I don't have a fear of them, I just hate the mess. I am specifically thinking of stores like Tj Max or other discounters where all the clothes are jumbled on the racks and you are supposed to browse through all the shirts or all the shorts or whatever you are looking at. I like well ordered racks or shelves with identical products next to each other. I can even take well ordered thrift shops where they put all white shirts together, all jeans together, all suits together, etc, nicely arranged by size. I also hate messy grocery stores. They seem unclean to me and totally unappetizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
