AggieDave 6 #36 January 8, 2004 Spiders and (don't laugh) heights. I can't stand on top of roofs and stuff without getting really nervous.

FrogNog 1 #38 January 8, 2004 I'm afraid of encountering jellyfishes while swimming. I stopped six inches short of one in Cabo two weeks ago. I'm also afraid of falling from way up high. It's not basic fear of heights, it's fear of falling. Skydiving has helped this. I'm afraid of spiders, too. But my fear of spiders (and jellyfish) is not overriding; I can still react reasonably, I am just particularly biased toward caution in these situations. This is a good thing because my house is infested with tegenaria agrestis. (Clicky is highly representative of their appearance in my home.) I think I may also be gamophobic. Maybe it's just stop-skydiving-a-phobic. Ooh, also burn-in-a-phobic. So I try to land sensibly. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selbbub78 0 #43 January 8, 2004 QuoteGonna sound ridiculous, I know... but I'm afraid of heights. Now that link says that it's 'Acrophobia', but I thought that it was actually agoraphobia?? A skydiver afraid of heights...sheesh.... I'm with you on that one. Very Afraid of heights!

Vertifly 0 #44 January 9, 2004 Fear of Poverty - Peniaphobia Jealousy- Zelophobia Religion - Theophobia and... Bullets- Ballistophobia, but only when they reach a really fast velocity. So I guess it would be called: "tachoballistophobia" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #45 January 9, 2004 Would have to answer "None" to the phobia question. Many people confuse phobias with normal fear. I heard a psychologist once explain the differences in fear and phobias in the best way... Pretend you have a fear of snakes. A lot of people are terrified of snakes. A good way of knowing if you have just a normal fear or an actual phobia was described by this doctor as this... "Pretend you are walking across a field and see a snake. If you get scared you may not neccessarily have a phobia. Now, let's say you are flipping through a magazine and see that same snake in a picture. Do you get the same fear just looking at a picture of a snake? If so you may have a phobia." That to me was a pretty cool explanation of the differences of fears and phobias.
