Dont like the dark, need the TV on at night.
Have to wash my hands a lot, I have loads of that anti-bacterial hand sanitizer for when I'm out. So I'm always making sure my DD hands are super clean--lol She will probably end up have that phodia also. My brother and my aunt have OCD, so I know stuff like that runs in my family.

I can not get out of bed or turn the lights out when the clock is on multiple of 13, otherwise I will have a bad day. If I naturally wake up at 6:13, I won't let myself get out of bed until 6:14.

I have everyone beat..

I am afraid of the Statue of Liberty. It really freaks me out that there is a shape of a human that is so large. It also stems from the old "Escape from New York" movie poster and probably "Planet of the Apes".

Re: Do you have a strange phobia- One that you know is silly but it's just you?

I have quite a few-
complete fear of vomiting- I will make myself not- the only time I have after childhood was very drunk. I have to cover my ears and hum when DH gets sick or I may have a panic attack.

HATE high staircases or escalators- I have nightmares of having to crawl over them and climb on them where they are hundreds of feet high.

Ventriloquist dummies- there was one of a clown on the beach in Puerto Vallarta where my parent's own a time share. They used to pay him to play to freak me out- nice family huh.Chat Icon

I cannot stand having the inside of my wrist touched. Absolutely freaks me out - I have no idea why.



OMG, I cannot believe I found someone that feels the same way as me. In addition to my wrists, it's also my neck. I know for me it started when I was about 13 after watching Dirty DancingChat Icon Chat Icon , don't ask. There was a scene where I thought Penny got her neck slit open. I was young and didn't understand what she was actually doing. All I know is I saometimes even have problems looking at the insides of my wrists, freaks me out!



That's so funny. I used to have problems with anyone touching my neck -- until I had my son. When he was a baby, he would only go to sleep if he was rubbing my neck. Completely freaked me out and then I got over it.

I shared this phobia (well maybe not a phobia, more like an OCD thing) with a co-worker the other day and she looked at me like I was on crack.. Chat Icon Chat Icon
When paying bills, mainly credit card bills, I will never pay $100 or $200 towards the balance. I always pay the amount that will make the balance an even number. For instance, if my balance is $1,360.56, I will pay $360.56. Yes, I know, I have issues Chat Icon Chat Icon



I do the same thing.

BIRDS. They scare the crap out of me.
I've gone running out screaming from Petco when one of their birds got loose and nose dived right at me.
When I was in Venice I had to be walked through St. Mark's Square with my eyes closed. It was like living in a nightmare.
DH also finds it hysterical to throw patato chips by me at the beach the the seagulls will flock near me. Yuck. Those things are so gross!!!! Chat Icon

People dressed in costumes. Like at Disney World and kiddie birthday parties. They scare the crap out of me.



Me too! I also hate Halloween masks.

I am terrified of birds too and the same thing happened to me in St. Mark's Square. My DH also thinks its hysterical to throw food by me and watch birds come near me and me freak out! Chat Icon

DH is absolutely petrified of birds. We were watching a travel show about Italy and when he saw St. Marks Square he told me we will never go there. He won't even go in the backyard if he sees a bird in the grass.

I'm the same way. Especially when DH is away on business. I avoid looking out the windows at all costs.

My strange phobia is I cannot sleep with closet doors or cabinets/drawers open. It doesn't matter which room has an open door. DH always leaves his closet door open and he makes fun of me when close the door and when I check the house before bed.

Crooked pictures also freak me out

OOH I so have this phobia...especially since our house was broken into last month Chat Icon

I freak out getting an IV. It is not the needle or the pin prick that bothers me, cuz I don't mind having blood drawn, but I freak over anyone putting anything in my veins. Like they are going to poison me or put the wrong thing in the IV or something. Stupid, I knowChat Icon

I am afraid of spiders which isn't that unsual (I don't think) but not because they are spiders or bugs or have long legs. I am afraid they are going to lay eggs in my ears and then one day millions of baby spiders will be be born and coming pouring out of my ear. Chat Icon I can spot a spider from quite a distance and my ears will instantly become itchy when I see it. Chat Icon

ESCALATORS... I HATE them! Well, only doing down. I have such a fear that when I take that first step I will slip, fall on my a$$ and bounce the entire way down the stairsChat Icon

I have to pause, hold on and turn my foot sideways.
I think I must have had a near miss when I was little but I don't remember it.



me too..but I am afraid going up to. I lean forward like an old lady when I am on it as if i will fall backwards.
