Do you have any phobias?!
Question: What are they and how do you deal with them?
Answers: What are they and how do you deal with them?
I have a phobia of social situations (social phobia or social anxiety). I also have a phobia of crowds (enochlophobia). Enochlophobia is a type of social phobia. I'm okay in smaller crowds, however, when I'm dealing with crowded places I experience intense anxiety and often have a panic attack. My social phobia not only includes crowds but includes every social situation. Things like having a conversation is difficult, my mind "freezes". It's hard to deal with, and it is wasting years of my life that I could enjoy doing things with friends(which I could actually have!). It's a horrible phobia, but evidentally 35 million Americans have social anxiety to a degree.
I have a phobia of slugs. Its really bad, i almost faint when i see one on tv even. Its just so silly and irrational I feel stupid. Theres wars and injustice and im terrified of SLUGS!
It stems from our house having them every morning when i used to come downstairs as a child, and i used to stand on them, and see their trails everywhere. Thank god we moved.
I avoid situations where they are likely to be. (Which is the worst thing to do). If i come across one, i just have to grit my teeth and walk on. I|ts hard!
I'm afraid of crowds. I deal with it by just avoiding crowded places, and that seems to work pretty well for me.
insects and spiders aything that can sting espacelly wasps
I'm afraid of any kind of bug, even ants, and especially spiders. I have bug spray in every room so if I see anything at all I spray it and then I run!
I am an arachnaphobe. I can not even hear the word "spider". Just typing it makes me cringe.
When I was little, I used to play with Barbies. One day, I was putting them away, and I picked up one my boxes full of accesseries, looked in it, and inside was a giant mother wolf spider. Ever since then, I've been scared to death of spiders.
I usually scream when I see a spider, but I try to just shield my eyes, walk away, and forget about it, which is extremely hard to do.
I have Emetophobia. This is the fear of throwing up.
Luckily I don't feel sick very often.
I have not vomited for at least 23 years.
The last time I threw up, it might have been after surgery.
I am not sure if I did or not because I was kind of out of it.
I have emetophobia, its really hard to deal with ( fear of vomiting) and its starting to take over my life, but i try harder every day to get through it.
