I don't know if this is a phobia. Remember the movie "Lost Boys" well ever since then, I have a hard time eating rice...
I have a few fears, spiders, heights, clowns, and.... feet... yea its weird but hey theirs gross
I used to be uneasy around heights, small spaces and spiders.
I now love heights and dangerously leaning over them, looking down. I do not really mind spiders, they are not my favourite animal but if they are in my way, I pick them up and remove them without a problem and think they are somehow fascinating.
The only phobia I am afraid I will always have, is claustrophobia. It is not the case that I go crazy in an elevator or whatever. Just when I am enclosed, I freak out. That is all.
wow! I wasn't sure, so I went to http://phobialist.com/ on a quest of discovery. The list is too long. I don't know if it is a phobia, but I have a fear of being found out - LOL. Of what I don't know, but like when in a conversation in the grocery check out line or whatever an overwhelming anxiety seeps in as I think or wonder do they know me. I think things like is this a deception or trick. What about me do they know that I don't. I know not rational thinking. Oh well - smile.
When I was younger I was terrified of spiders, but I wouldn't know whether to call it a phobia or not. Now I just feel sort of grossed out when I see one. It's weird.
