My mum has a pure phobia of moths. Think that's probably why I developed a dislike of them. But I just don't like, I'm not petrified of them.

Used to know a lad who had a phobia of cotton wool, lol

:rofl:

An old pal had such a phobia of moths that when giving birth the only reason she went mad on the gas and air was cos a moth was in the room! lol

Wouldn't call it a phobia as such but the only thing that get's me raging is flies! You have wings its a big world and your not a fussy eater! so why the hell pester me and my dinner!? If i had wings i would certainly be off doing better things!!

(the post came to light in the end Tim! lol)

My mate's scared of moths and butterflies too. I don't really have a phobia as such, I HATE spiders and they freak me out but I wouldn't go as far as to it a phobia.

Come on is that guy with the peaches for real :confused: That's well over the top! I understand that phobias are totally irrational and people feel they have no control over it. But to see peaches on a screen and run a mile ffs! I suppose it doesn't really matter what the phobia is, I just can't understand why anyone would fear a fruit, but to run like that when the image of your phobia is on a screen??? I personally think that's completely exaggerated for the cameras.
I've seen the effect phobias can have on people and I've never seen a reaction like that. My Mum has a really bad phobia of snakes and she has to turn over if one comes on TV but she's never done anything crazy like that guy!

Spiders
Veins
Candyfloss

In fact, I ran into the back of someone at the lights last week because a spider was on my steering wheel and dropped into my lap and I spazzed out :cry: :mad: :(


cant be as bad as this guy he has a phobia of PEACHES PMSL

bet its the hairyness :D people seem to think its weird. I think its kinda cute :D but its easier to buy nectarines instead to stop this being an issue for anyone :D

I dont like the stuff much tbh, but it forms part of the same phobia I have of Candyfloss, as does wire wool. Its the texture / sound of it tearing apart I cant bear :hurl: :shudder:
Can use cotton wool balls, as theyre ready shaped, but couldnt bring myself to buy a roll and tear bits off, arrgh no way.

I put some in my ears once when I had neighbour noise problems but the sound if it swishing about (if thats even a good description) made me want to heave and had to take it out :$ :|

just watched that. Aww bless him, found that pretty cruel, felt sorry for him :( especially with them all jeering and laughing at him
I know its daft, but thats the whole thing about a proper phobia, its an irrational fear and such intense distress and fear has got to one of the most horrible feelings ever, even if it is sparked by something ridiculous! :D

I'm a complete wreck when I have to have a blood test, because of my vein phobia. In fact its only this year I have been able to even have one at all (go me! haha) :weightlift: but when I do i'm a shaking , sobbing, hyperventilating wreck and I tell ya, i'm miles from finding it funny then :naughty: I actually feel completely humilated that I react like that too and that makes me cry more. (lol, yes I know i'm a twat) :$ but its horrible, really horrible

shite isnt it? that kind of sickening fright is awful. i'm a panicking gibbering wreck as soon as i go into the room, before they even do anything!
makes me feel wiped out for most of the day afterwards too :S

suppose the only consolation with yours is that you hopefully wont need to have it done very often in life..phew!

they offered to refer me to a psychotherapist about it once, because they said they'd never seen anyone so distressed and because i was making it dangerous for them to take the blood as i was wriggling about trying to get away so much

when they do it now, its a 2-person job, as I have to be held down , that itself probably doesnt help the fear but its the only way they can get any out without me thrashing about and injuring myself or someone else :S

they usually assume its the blood or needle i'm scared of... they look at me like im nuts when i tell them its veins :axe: :$
