i love moths. i love garden spiders. i dislike harvester spiders and crane flies. i can't touch them because i worry too much about accidentally breaking one of their legs, and if i do i feel instantly sick. poor, miserable, fucked-up things.

I hate them, harvestmen and crane flies terrify me so much, I don't like to kill them but if I see one flying towards me I won't hesitate to kill them. It's the long legs that just dangle around. Ugh. I can't stand the disgusting wretches that pull their legs off though it sickens me.

[Manco]

Harvestmen? Seriously? They're like, the least threatening arachnid.

[STM]

tiny head and enormous legs...yuck. It is an irrational fear though so what can I do. I only have irrational fears which is stupid.

[Dixanadu]

Harvestmen aren't at all threatening or scary looking.

Maybe it's their tiny body.

[STM]

As I just said, it's an irrational fear, I can't help not liking them.

[MA]

same goes for cave centipedes with me. never come across one, obviously, but i think i'd freak out if i was in the same room as one. daft, really.

[mr.odd]

I have a phobia with spiders sadly. I don't freak out, it's more like i freeze up like a deer in head lights. Bad childhood experience.

[STM]

I have the worst phobia here but I don't know if I want to say because even my brother gives me trouble about it, every time I've told someone, (and that's only three people) two of them have mocked me for it.

[mr.odd]

Come on tell. Or it least give us a hint. Or PM it to me, i promise i won't tell.

[STM]

I have kompounophobia I don't like to write the word of what it is I have a phobia of but if you type that in you'll get it. I can't breath when I say it it's that bad. =(

[mr.odd]

I don't dare google it...

[STM]

It's not disgusting for you don't worry but it is to me for some reason. Trust me it won't affect you at all.

[mr.odd]

i was expecting a bug.

[STM]

=*( in my opinion there isn't anything worse to have a phobia of because whether I like it or not I have to wear them for the rest of my life.

What's wrong with buttons?



I have a sudden urge for vagina.

[enchilado]

Same, and I don't even find her attractive.

It's probably because I'm a teenage virgin.

[STM]

What the fucking hell Dixanadu, if I specifically say I can't even type the fucking word why the fuck would you think that posting a fucking picture of them is a fucking good idea? Please I actually want an answer, fucking seriously.

[OddjobAbe]

I'm more repulsed by that big gap in her ear than the offending clothing devices.

[STM]

It's all bad, I need to wash my hands...fuck.

[T-nex]

STM i guessed your phobia before you even wrote about it... It probably IS the worst phobia i can think of... or anything similar, as it's an every day item.

I really don't understand phobias though... like does anything cross your mind when you see one? Do you think they are evil and will take over your brain?


Also Dixy, that's extremely rude. A phobia is probably one of the few things I find a 'sacred' sanctum. You shouldn't fuck with people like that. Phobias are a mental issue, and making fun of people with such problems is a real dick-move.

[Dixanadu]

He didn't need to be a drama queen about it.

It's only a picture, geez.

He just said he wears them, I somehow figure that's worse than a picture.

I wouldn't go apeshit if someone posted a picture of deep water I couldn't see the bottom of.

BECAUSE IT'S A PICTURE.

Chill.

holy shit, i didn't even notice that.

not the same. i've only done a quick search on Koumpounophobia and i read that some sufferers are so bad they can't even say, write or read the 'b' word without at least feeling uncomfortable. you don't like very deep water, but i would assume that's more to do with the feeling, the sensation. you know you're in deep water, you can't see the bottom, it scares the shit out of you. a picture? no problem. but that's a totally different kettle of fish ('SCUSE THE PUN).

now i don't need to white knight for another six months.

[Dixanadu]

I doubt the severity of STM's condition goes that far, though.

[Gwan-Thwei]

Speaking of Phobias (and also bugs), I am afraid of dead spiders. No idea why. The twitching disembodied legs might have something to do with it.

I've always had a facination with Mantids. They're like aliens or something. The way their eyes seem to move on their own, how deadly they are, and those odd pincer things...Man. I've seen videos of mantids catching and killing birds, mice, and snakes. The snake was the coolest one though. He grabbed it, and it started wrapping around him, so the mantis started eating it alive. Sooner or later he ended up chewing theough it's spine, but the whole ordeal was amazing.

Yeah but you need to remember that a phobia is the extreme irrational fear of something. It may seem strange and hard to believe, but he has it and you don't.

[CrissCross]

I remember when i used to hold giant spiders in my hand...

Now i cant hold jumping spiders -__-

[enchilado]

They just seemed giant because you were so small.
