I have a fear of heights, and also a fear of drowning. Part of the problem is that I can't swim.

GABBITS OWN 08-21-2010 09:52 PM

I have fear for "snakes".

Trypanophobia.

fear of three pans?

Josh 08-23-2010 02:36 AM

Fear of needles. And wrong 'Try'.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-23-2010 04:09 AM

well thats wierd because i have tripanphobia, which is fear of three pans. thats why i dont like cooking.

EDIT: fixd

Josh 08-23-2010 04:22 AM

Try and Tri are different things.

Ridg3 08-23-2010 04:24 AM

Even then, there is no such thing as tripanphobia.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-23-2010 04:34 AM

for me there is, imagine being squashed by two pans while the other watches and laughs... eughh!

EDIT: maybe it was a dream, i have weird dreams, one was where i had telekinesis (is that how to spell it?)

Wings of Fire 08-23-2010 04:49 AM

You have a phobia of three greek gods of nature?

Mr.Spandexpants 08-23-2010 07:21 PM

No, I beileve its a fear of a kind of camera shot.

just_an_(ODD)alisque 08-23-2010 09:23 PM

dogs,heights and elevators

Dipstikk 08-24-2010 01:07 PM

The only phobia that has managed to terrify me beyond rationality is basically the prospect that I will die one day and there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening. The idea of just losing awareness and everything being extinguished, not being able to interact with anything for an eternity is the scariest thing I can imagine.

It causes a mild panic attack at its worst, but it's strong enough to keep me from sleeping (and manifests most often when I'm trying to get to sleep)- my room is dark and I'm lying on my bed in a certain way and the whole thing feels like I'm in a coffin.

Man I didn't want to turn this into two paragraphs.

Hazel-Rah 08-24-2010 01:25 PM

And you don't want to fall asleep because you're afraid you won't wake up? Yep, all living things fear their death, best to abandon that line of inquiry. :(

OddjobAbe 08-24-2010 01:29 PM

I find the idea of death comforting. It's like on a working day, where when I finally get home, I like a good kip. The only thing that worries me is whether I'm, wrong or not about what happens to me when I'm dead. If one of these religions turns out to be correct, and I am wrong, I'm going to suffer for it for all eternity.

What scares me is the idea of losing control of myself. I panic enough when I suffer from sleep paralysis, but what scares me just as much, if not more, is losing control of my mind. I am terrified of getting dementia or something of the sort.

Hazel-Rah 08-24-2010 01:31 PM

Oh shit you get false awakening? I got that once and I had trouble sleeping for weeks, so freaking scary o.O

No, that's not it at all- I just can't sleep because then I can't stop thinking about it.

BUT THANK YOU, I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT FROM THAT ANGLE.

Sekto Springs 08-24-2010 02:08 PM

I don't fear death as much as I fear I won't live a rich enough life before I die.
Every time I go to sleep, part of me thinks about how much time I'm wasting by sleeping. I think the average person spends about 25-30 years of their life sleeping. So in the sense of actually living and not just existing, we really only live for about 40-50 years.

People statıstıcally spend about 4 months on the toılet, 1 week changıng TV programs on the Remote Control, and eat 5 spıders when they sleep :P (whole lıfe), I have fear of Alıens, I dont really know how thıs began, but every tıme I go to the dark place, or go to the bed I ımagıne one standıng somwhere near. Even when I am tryıng to tell myself, that they doesnt exıst, my second half of braıns tells me ıf the space ıs ınfınıte, there has to be ınfınıte specıes of aliens, too. But speakıng of Infınıty, that means somwhere ın the space theres Oddworld floatıng steadıly :P

STM 08-25-2010 06:08 AM

Yes but dreams are fantastic, I like sleeping because of the dreams I might have, they say that your brain exercises a large part of its ability in sleep, it's how you can fly and become a commando and stuff.

There is not an infinite amount of mass in the universe.

lismati 08-25-2010 06:42 AM

Show me the end of the Unıverse :P (I thınk I know Josh's comment) but anyway, even ıf there's lımıted amount of mass ın the Space, I thınk theres small chance of Alıens not beıng somwhere. But who am I to judge ıt :P ? I'm just 13 years old kıd.

@Down: End of Unıverse is ’e’, doesn’t it?

PS God, ıt's so frustratıng, ıf you have to copy every ' or @ from Wikipedia.

I can't, it's moving away from us at slightly less than the speed of light.

I agree with you there. Anyway, back on topic...

and eat 5 spıders when they sleep

That is an urban myth with no basis in fact.

Phantasos 08-25-2010 10:04 AM

-I fear jellyfish. Absolutely hate looking at them. I squirm and squeal.
-Haptephobia, the fear of being touched. I really can't stand people making contact with me. So, you know, relationships are kind of, impossible.
-Scopophobia, the fear of people looking at me or staring at me, even if its complimentarily..
-Telephonophobia, I can't stand taking calls or making them. It just seems wrong..

a phobia of buttons, even typing it is hard so please don't do anything stupid.

Don't you worry. I had a fear of buttons when I was a child, but somehow I got over it.

I used to fear Abe. Abe and Oddworld used to terrify me. Yet I'd sit there playing it nonetheless. Lorne Lanning, you mosnter. I've had countless nightmares about Abe, or running through RuptureFarms from sligs..
However, it was the film Signs, that realllly made me fear aliens. Its slightly annoying because I quite like walking at night in the moonlight, and nightswimming, but every now and again the thought of an alien standing somewhere gets to me.

lismati 08-25-2010 11:06 AM

I also hate JellyFıshes. Its not that I fear, but I kında panıc when I see one. When I was younger, I feared Oddworld a bıt too. Especıally Stockyards scared the sh*t out of me. Once on Halloween I played them on 12 PM, now I thınk I wıll never forget that :P

For me it wasn't so much the Stockyards (though they were scary because of the actual threats), but inside RuptureFarms in general, it was a fear of such living conditions and just sligs and glukkons in general. Freaked me out.

For some reason I remember playing Tekken Tag Tournament on some halloween way back. Not that that has anything to do with anything really. But that is my only remembrance of playing a game on halloween. Which I guess IS related to phobias, for halloween's meant to be scary or something..?
I guess True Ogre's a frightening fellow mind you.

lismati 08-25-2010 11:18 AM

Thats topıc for Phobıas, so I thınk I can ask a questıon about Phobophobıa (I duno how to spell that, I wıl check on Wıkıpedıa later). What ıs ıt? I mean you panıc when you see a name of Phobıa, you fear of havıng a Phobıa of some kınd? I dunno, and I thought about ıt from some tıme.

PS. You all see that ı wıthout dot over ıt?

Its more likely the latter.

And if that's the case, then it has to be a very natural thing; I expect the majority of us FEAR developing more fears of things, because they're so very spontaneous, and then of course, irritating to your general routine of things.

PS. Your ı is ıLL. Get it checked out.
