I was just over in the 'After hours' area and was in a thread about ants and how to kill them, anyway I posted in the thread and brought up how much I fear/hate bugs, waterbugs specifically.
Unlike most out their with phobias, I ACTUALLY KNOW where my phobia came from. When I was small like 4 and 5 and my dad and me were in the yard of our house, he used to throw grasshoppers on me! He didn't do it to be mean, he was just trying to get me to play with them, but it terrified me! As a result, as an adult I am petrified of bugs! Small insects like flies, ants, some spiders I can deal with, but anything longer than an inch, forget it, I freak!
Also, I suffer from severe virtigo, fear of heights for the ones that don't know. When I say severe, I mean that if I even look up at a tall building from the ground, I start to feel dizzy. I can't go up in a tall building either. If you put me in a room with no windows, and told me that I was on the top floor of the world trade center, this is not a joke, I would pass out! Just simply KNOWING that a couple hundred stories were beneath my feet would be enough to put me out!
Other than that, i'm fine.
So how about you guys and gals, what are you truly afraid of?
