Phobias

<p>Getting lost. Mazeophobia. Mainly it occurs when I’m driving long distances. I get very paranoid if Google Maps isn’t exact, then I start to cry and think I missed my exit. :(</p>

<p>I think I’m starting to get a serious one. Like for real. I’ve always been afraid of the dark but it’s becoming much, much worse. When I’m in a room alone at night I spend about half the time trying to figure out what I could use as a weapon and which direction I should run in if a murderer approached and what to do if there were, I dunno, mystical demons (which seriously freak me out). I think I need to go back to my therapist (but my therapy was about my father, not my fear).</p>

<p>Hmmm. Perhaps they’re related. Hmmmm.</p>

<p>I really regret reading this thread. I can’t help feeling uneasy and squirmy and I can’t help thinking about those images that popped up when I google image’d trypophobia… </p>

<p>And papercuts on my eyeballs… ahck, i get that too.</p>

<p>trypophobia</p>

<p>Holy crap! There’s a name for it! Do people pass out like I do? I puke sometimes depending on what it is. Like… like…like… Barnacles! OMG they are the creepiest little disasters ever! What’s their use?! They are hideous and they all need to DIE. </p>

<p>Or a cluster of protrusions? Is there a name for that? Like the really gnarly stuff on trees (I spent three hours shaving a tree of that crap… With a hedge clipper) </p>

<p>I believe it stems from seeing genital warts for class in eight grade. I never got over it. Probably never will.</p>

<p>paper cuts on your eyeballs? really people?</p>

<p>haha, fortunately i don’t have any irrational fears. my gf is afraid of shots and spiders, and not in a normal girly way. she starts to seriously panic.</p>

<p>oh and mirrors in movies, like how bad guys pop up in horror movies.</p>

<p>I am afraid of sunlight, sort of. I avoid going under sunlight unless I have to, and I never stay under the sun for more than 5 minutes. The moment I walk into sunlight I get a feeling that my skin is peeling off.</p>
