Bees. I have a classified phobia of bees. Apiphobia. I have serious panic attacks around them.

Anything that stings though can get me going.

Okay, I thought of another one. And, it comes with an entertaining story.

My best friend (who I used to work with) is terrified of midgets (sorry for not being PC, I don''t mean any offense) It''s a fear she''s had since she was a child and she hasn''t outgrown it in the slightest. I''m not just talking uncomfortable, but the ''OMG!'' and leaving the area kind of fear.

I''m afraid (although that''s not quite the right word) of nuns in large numbers. I''m not Catholic, I can''t say I''ve really been around many nuns, and if there''s only one-I''m fine. I have no idea why it freaks me out.

So, one day my friend and I headed out to lunch. We''re sitting there minding our business, eating lovely ceasar salads, when I look out the window. A very plain blue car pulls up. I''m slightly intrigued by the blandness of the vehicle. No tint, no chrome, etc. As I''m watching, A midget wearing a habit jumps out of the car. My heart kind of skips a beat. Then, another little person in her nun''s attire gets out. okay, I think, this is going to be bad. Then another hops out! At this time, I see that they''re coming directly into our restaurant. I start shuffling my things together as my friend glances behind her. We didn''t have to say one word to each other, we just laid money down and headed to the door! We do not speak of that day.

Somethingshiny- I don''t know if I should take the nun thing as offensive-but I am offended

. Whilst that may be your fear, I would have appreciated different words in which you were to phrase it. But any who, I have said many things that were offensive to somebody-so no hurt feelings

.

Alex~ I certainly didn't mean offense, so I'm glad there are no hurt feelings. I said "afraid" wasn't quite the right word, and I have no basis for this feeling. I just feel it and although it's weird, I'm not going to be ashamed of it. In fact a lady I went to school with just took her vows in Oct and she thinks it's hilarious. But, again, no offense intended.


Starset~ I'm not making it up, I'm not even exaggerating.

 

[diamondfan]

Linda, yikes, I feel ya! Hope it does not come true.

I also fear going over a bridge and being stuck mid span. In wind especially.

Quicksand.

Tornadoes, earthquakes (lived through a bunch), tsunamis, hurricanes

getting some weird illness no one can diagnose or treat.




I am sure I will think of more. I am bit fearful as you can see!

 

[Linda W]

I still get kind of panicky going over the Bay Bridge to and from San Francisco. I always think of the 1989 earthquake when part of it collapsed. My DH is no help. He Always says "do you feel that earthquake", as we are passing over the bridge.

[Harleigh]

Linda,

That''s horrible of him! I''m so sorry he does that to you!

 

[Linda W]

Hi Harleigh

Yes, he is a stinker isn''t he LOL

Me too. I can''t even think about them without getting seriously freaked out. Which is why i''m getting this out and leaving this thread right now. That movie Candyman just about did me in.

 

[Skippy123]

Speaking of Bee''s; I was stung by a Wasp and I am so afraid of them. It hurts to be stung!!!

I get nervous crossing bridges too; Linda your hubby is terrible!!!! hehe

I also can''t be up too high in hotels; I almost had a panick attack in Vegas when we were on the 20th floor. I demanded we be moved down to a lower floor because if there is a fire I worry that it is too many flights to run down. Remember the fire at the MGM where people died.

I am afraid of sharks; oh boy that day I swam with one scared the crappola out of me

I know it is rare to be eaten but still it is scary!!!

 

[Harriet]

The dentist.

 

[icekid]

Being a doctor........

(one month!) I don''t think I have any of the usual phobias though.

 

[nebe]

I have terrible agoraphobia, so big spaces are hard for me (woods, concerts, empty highways, sometimes even the movies if there aren't many people) but the ocean is hands down my absolute biggest fear. I went on a cruise years ago and all I could think about was sinking and being left alone at sea or on some empty island.

Spriders give me panic attacks too, I still can't figure that one out though.

OMG Lorelei I would have screamed.


Visual of a huntsman see scary

OMG I CLICKED THAT WITHOUT READING THE F(@#$%&)G ENTRY.

DEELIGHT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!!

 

[Harriet]

Does anyone remember those threads about ghosts?

 

[LegacyGirl]

I don''t like spiders... even the smallest one will make me freak out and start crying

 

[diamondfan]

the ocean freaks me too as it is so vast and deep and freaky. I like to see it from the shore though!

 

[snlee]

Infertility was one of my greatest fears but not now since I''m pregnant. Dying. Losing my husband. Ellen, turning into my mother is a good one too!

Gah, I can''t believe I came back to this thread...Skippy, I got stung by a wasp when I was little and I have never forgotten it. I was playing hide and seek with my brother and friends and one must have landed on the back of my leg, I squatted down to hide behind my dad''s car and squished it and it stung me. It was more the fact that I didn''t know it was going to happen than the actual pain that has stuck with me all this time, I think. Plus having long hair...bees can fly into it and get stuck (that has happened on numerous occasions). Flying insects in general just freak me out, I guess because even though they aren''t meaning to attack they just do if they get caught up somewhere on your body and can''t get out...their only defense is to sting and it does hurt. My brother is allergic to bee stings...my dad has been stung hundreds of times though and is not allergic, argh, I just hate the darn things! I know they are vital to nature, but I wish they didn''t exist. I am really, really, petrified/scared of them.

Cicadas also come to mind, thank goodness they only come around every 17 years. Eeek, I can''t even type any more about the subject. I''m seriously freaking out just thinking about them now. Last May one landed on me and I didn''t know it til I got in the house, I posted about it I think in the WWT last year. Yikes. Blech!

 

[justjulia]

Linda, I hate it when there''s traffic and we come to a stop in the middle of a bridge! The whole thing is moving and swaying and I keep thinking of the odds...

Wasps are just awful. And I don''t understand their place in nature.

My fear of bees runs so deep that I won''t even eat honey or anything with honey in it. When I was growing up, my allergies to pollen were so awful (before the Allegra movement) that my grandparents thought that giving me honey with everything I ate would build up my immunities to the pollen. I would eat around the honey or just not eat period.

 

[Delster]

When you guys mention a wasp are you talking about the big variety with the long legs? Cos we don't have those over here, ours just look like extra streamlined and vicious bees. First time I saw a wasp in the States I freaked. Someone said 'oooh, wasp, watch out' and I turned round and was confronted with this thing that looked like a daddylonglegs that had been drinking vicious-potion. Two of my fears combined in one, ugh!!!

ETA - what's the Allegra movement?

Well, you could say that about a lot of things. Roaches come to mind....

I''ve been stung by both bee and wasp, and let me tell ya, a wasp sting hurts FAR worse.
