Intense/irrational fears

[Redway]

Do you have 'odd' phobias/fears you can't really explain to anyone?

I have this thing about beds being in corners with a slanted roof. I find it really, really horrible, I've got this vague paranoid fear about damp/mould and spiders and urgh I'm shuddering thinking about it now, I can't sleep in a horrible bed or a bed in a position that looks horrible

[Gstar]

I have a fear of lifts but that's not really unusual

I'm not really scared of very much... but I am quite scared of swimming in the sea. I'm quite a strong swimmer in a pool, and if my life depended on it I would swim in the sea, but the thought of it freaks me out a bit.

I hate stickers with a passion. There's absolutely no way to describe how I hate them.

..I can't bear to be near to balloons and have a real phobia about them bursting...

Whales and large spaces. I don't even get the whale fear. I had a dream about a whale once, but I was already 15, so I can't really say it was scarring. I understood that it was just a dream. I'm pretty specific about the large spaces though, like I mean outside. Space and the middle of the ocean, where I can't see any land, terrify me.

Sometimes I get weird about people standing behind me, like in primary school if you had to walk in a line in pairs, I had to be at the back or I'd almost want to cry or punch something, makes me shudder, only get it sometimes now but as a child it was really upsetting, I can't explain it... like now I'll get it if I need to pee and someone approaches me I'm like NO GET OUT OF MY SPACE when I'm rushing to the bathroom :laugh:

..I also get this real anger about people putting things up on high places so that you have to stretch up to get something or stand on something to reach, but I do know why I get that, so I guess it's not so irrational...

I am scared of everything that has wings. :umm2:
Mice, rats, shrews, snakes, squirrels, maggots, millipedes/centipedes, all insects and arachnids really.
I am also scared of certain everyday situations like visiting the GP and similar stupid things.

..yeah, I don't know what it is but there is something about wings and flapping that is really unnerving...I'm really uneasy with birds...
