Its not that odd, but not a lot of people have it, and its not exactly a phobia because I do it every day without hesitation, but I hate doing it and it scares the heck out of me.

Standing up after I clean a horses hooves. My back hurts and I can't stand straight for a minute, and I think sometime I just wont be able to stand straight. It scares the heck out of me, even though I know I'll be fine.

I was afraid of a stairwell in our school and the entire first floor for almost 3 yrs. Fear to the point of panic attacks. Made things very... interesting. I had a class on the 3rd floor first period and the first floor second period. I would walk outside and down a hill to get to class. I refused to go down the stairs and through the building. Go avoidance!

I have a phobia of flushing aeroplane toilets. It feels as though they are sucking you in. I have to have the door unlocked and be ready to flee when I flush. Its very strange

What's not to be afraid of?

Hobo's aren't scary. At least the one's I've met aren't.

Then you haven't been to NYC. (Well, I haven't met any either, but still...)

I have the phobia of heights, but it's kinda odd. If I'm on top of a skyscraper that has a very good fence around it (so people don't commit suicide) like the Empire State Building, I'm fine. If I'm on an open tall building or even on the roof of a one-story building my legs start shaking. Also, I can't stand those elevators that are outside and all they have for walls is a gate.

Actually, I'm sorta scared of elevators, especially when they go down. Those elevators at the Hilton hotel in Dallas (where I go for a journalism convention) don't help either. There's always a problem with them.

I have a selective social phobia where I'm afraid of eating in front of strangers. It has been diagnosed to be a real phobia, and if ever forced to eat in public I suffer from panic attacks or on more extreme occassions such as a stranger talking to me while I'm eating I have blackouts/ fainting.

Well, the feel of it anyway. Blegh...

Polystyrine is worse.

Someone understands the sheer fear of rubbing paper! Well, I fear cardboard but it's close enough. In art class today actually, my friend grabbed my hand and forced it to rub this cardboard frame he had around his project. Ugh! I flipped out and had to keep whiping my hand on my shirt to get rid of the feeling.

Eww eww eww eww ewww

It's not so much of a phobia, but I really hate phoning people up. My heart goes BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM. On my birthday I locked myself in the bathroom because I didn't want to phone up my aunt incase she didn't know who it was.

I have one real phobia. And it is... DUNDUNDUN... Michael Jackson. I swear. If I met that dude in a dark alley and I was alone I'd either blindingly start beating him up as hard as I could or run in whatever direction could get me somewhere away from him faster.

And no. I'm not joking around.

Oh bleh, I understand that too. I don't like phones, at all. (Though answering machines and voice mails are SOOO much worse.) Whenever the phone rings, I never want to answer it...especially if it's a number I don't recongnize on the caller ID.

As a child I was afraid of pancakes. My mom used to make pancakes in the shape of Mikey Mouse's head, because she thought my brother and I would find it cute. Only I was afraid to eat the pancake because I thought I'd be killing Mickey Mouse. So my mom made me regular pancakes, but I STILL thought I would kill Mickey Mouse if I ate a pancake.
I like pancakes now, though sometimes I feel as if I might be killing a beloved Disney character.

Strangers scare me really bad! Also I hate when my mom goes into a store and leaves me alone in the car. I hide everytime she does that

Also sometimes when my mom is just gonna be gone in a few minuetes she leaves the car on while I'm in there and I always yell at her to turn the car off. I'm afraid some kidnapper will just jump into the car and well kidnap me.

Doctors. I absolutely refuse to go to the doctor. Even the dentist freaks me out a little bit. It's not irrational because I can explain it, but I really really don't want to.

A couple months ago I just couldn't explain this crazy fear I had (basically a phobia) of getting too close to something when driving. If my mom was less than a foot away from another car or a sign or something, I felt like I needed to scream and get out of the car.

Speaking of screaming, this isn't a fear or phobia or anything, but I can't. I lost my voice in December in 5th grade and I haven't been able to scream after that. Dunno why.

I'm scared of silence and men driving by me while I'm walking. Oh, and a lot of the time, having my head touched.

I have lots of weird phobias, but other people tend to remember them better than I do.

Ugh. I have a few weird phobias..
Like, I can't stand being in the bathroom with the light off. Or mostly any room with mirrors >< But, expecially the bathroom. I know that this started in elementary school, when everyone was all like, "OMGWTF THE BATHROOM IS HAUNTED."
:roll:

Nearly had panic attacks when I went in there in Elementary school.
Makes me wonder how stupid I was. xD But, it was one of those things that as little kids, we start to fear o_0
I also hate having dolls/stuffed animals looking directly towards me, close to me when I'm sleeping. o_0 I blame this on Chuckie. God, I hate those movies. Weird thing is that I've never seen it.
I have a bad phobia of needles. I don't mind if I'm at the doctors, and have to get a shot or something. But, if I see one, I can't stand to look at it. Ugh.. ::shudders::
I can't stand seeing other people's cuts/scrapes/ open bleeding wounds. >< Though, I don't mind mine at all.
