What are your phobias and habits

[sandragonfly]

haha, eating sandwiches from outside...that is interesting! nah, don't worry sparks, I won't give you a strangest face - everyone is strange in their own ways. I do remember I save the middle (corner) of pizza and the middle of cinnamon roll for last.

me, phobias? having no phobias! really, none.

habits?? biting nails ... but I'm muchmuch better! before I'd bite anytime but now only during exams when I'm not paying attention to anything else! not too odd I know.

and, I usually explain, do, or work things in order. like, if I start a cat picture thread, I gotta order them in sequence when I got them or post pictures chronically.

and, do bathroom, feeding, filling up waterbowls and clean litter during, sweep then feed myself.

I guess this one formed from fear and turned into a habit. I can't sleep if any part of my body is sticking out from the blankets except my head and sometimes arms.

My closet also has to be completley closed at night or I picture people/things peering in the places that are open.

Most of my fears are just because my imagination and I make up things and scare myself.

Edit: After reading through other peoples I remember some that are the same.

For eating a pizza,I eat the toppings first, then the cheese, then the crust, then my favorite part the bread with the marinara sauce!

I HATE elevators i will never go in one, even if its going 10 stories up i'll use the stairs if i have to.

In the morening i do the same exact thing. I get up, make my bed, brush my teeth, take a shower (if i didn't at night), get ready.

When i put my make up on, it has to be put on my left eye first! for eyeliner and mascara.

I never wear the same colored socks. like right now i have an orange sock and the other a rainbow striped sock.

i HAVE to listen to music and i will be in a good mood i CANNOT stand the quiet. When i'm out in the woods or something will hum or something since i can't stand it.

There's much more just i can't think of them right now.

My biggest phobia is the fear of something happening to one of my pets, Vixen especially. I know where it came from. It all started when we lost Lilith in 2005. We nor the vet knew there was anything wrong with her. Actually just a month before her passing she got a clean bill of health. She got a rabies shot for travel to Italy and we having what we thought was a reaction but was not. It was actually a cancer from FeLv and the shot dropped her system allowing the cancer to take over. From the day of the shot to the day of her death was 8 days. I guess you can see where that phobia would play through as Vixen is FeLv+ as well.

Habits...biting the skin on my fingers - habit from when I was a child.
....have to eat my pizza with a fork and knife
....have to always have a flashlight close by - habit learned from my
mom
....walking barefoot even though I am not suppose to because I'm
diabetic
....shower habit...have to wash my hair twice then condition before I
actually clean my body

I am sure there are others too.

I have this HUGE fear of planes. I will not eat, sleep, sit still, or anything for days before a plane ride. I will also cry and worry.

I eat all the toppings off the pizza, first, saving my the bread and sauce for last.

If I'm at my own place of residence, I absolutely will not wear socks indoors. It drives me nuts.

[Suki Wingy]

I have just about the weirdest phobia ever and it's difficult. Numbers. Math class is living hell. If someone shoves a math sheet or chemistry equation in front of me I have to try very hard to hold back a panic attack and I then get a migrane.
It's not a fear, but I don't like monkeys. They creep me out.
I have a lot of weird habits but I'll edit them in later.

[Kalei]

I have a fear of spiders and I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this one, but I have a fear of touching hot things. Like when I'm cooking, I always try to get someone else to take the stuff out of the oven. Or when someone wants a cup of tea. I put a dish cloth around the handle and then carry it so that the hot cup doesn't get near my hands.

Habits:

Umm...I always make sure to put the most powdered part of a chip on my tongue first.
I've had a habit of biting the sides of my fingers right beside the nail for years.
I have to eat a chocolate bar very slowly.
And I have to take that little white thing off the yolk of the egg before i use the egg.

lol I guess I'm pretty weird.

[Zippy]

Ovens I will not take things out of the oven.
I also hate big crowds.

[Twisterdog]

I hate ladders. I can go up, but I don't like to go down. And to go from a ladder to the roof, then back to the ladder? NEVER would I be able to do that!

I don't mind heights if there is a railing ... like a damn or an observation tower. But a cliff or a roof edge freaks me out. And I HATE it when people goof around on high places, like putting their leg over the railing or pretending they are going to jump. I SCREAM at people who do that.

As for weird habits ...

I always try to eat the middle of something last. I don't think that's weird at all, it's just saving the best for last.

I can't drink anything with sugar in it ... it makes my teeth feel funny and drives me crazy.

I MUST wear socks ALL the time. The only time I don't have socks on is in the shower, literally.

I MUST have lip balm and lotion on at all times.

I cannot sleep without a fan going, for the white noise. And I have to sleep with a pillow between my knees ... but I have a messed-up knee, so that's more medical then quirky, I guess.

[Whisk_Luva]

I eat my sandwiches from the outside in. I have to eat the crust or the edges first and then I eat the inside.

Same

When eating just about anything, I always save the best for last.

Same

I always eat each type of food seperately! I eat one thing at a time. For instance I will eat my meat, turn plate, eat my potatoes, turn plate, eat my veggies ect....

Same

Phobias/Fears

I hate most birds! I can stand some like ducks and I like big birds like penguins, ostrichs and stuff like that but its the pigeons and crows and everything.... I dont like the wings when they flap. My dad is the same!

Habits

At night before I go to bed I must bellow 'NIGHT MUM!' (Mum will say night) 'NIGHT DAD!' (Dad will say night) 'NIGHT JONATHAN!' (Jonathan will grunt* night) *Jonathan is my 15 year old brother!

[Miss Z]

I have a fear of falling. Not heights, as it's often confused with, as I can go up as high as I want and as long as my feet are on a firm surface then I'm fine. When I went up the Eiffel Tower in the glass lift I was fascinated by how high up we were, and I don't think I was helping those with fears of heights who were sharing the lift by exclaiming 'Ooo, we must be reaching about 600ft now, everything looks so small!'

Having said that, I could never bungee jump or skydive. I just hate the 'falling feeling', that sudden plummetting feeling in your stomach *shivers*.

Not really a phobia, but I've always disliked answering the phone. If the phone rings I'll wait until the very last ring before the answering machine kicks in, in the hope that someone else will get it! Heaven knows why.

I have a few weird habits, but one I've not really noticed until now is that I sit sideways when typing on my laptop. I think I do this because that way I can see Tia in her cage out of the corner of my eye.

[animal_rescue]

I have a HUGE fear of tornadoes and storms. When we get a tornado watch i'm an absolute mess during them, I'm pacing and panting and basically hysterical.

I'm also very afraid of *get this* fish. I can't even eat them without freaking out. I know very weird but it's also a reason why I won't go into deep water, i'm too afraid that a fish will swim by me. I probably would end up drowning myself if one did.

[sparks19]

Oh mayo in fries.... you are not as wierd as you think. I LOVE mayo and fries lol. It is so bad for me but GOD I love it.

Kittycats_delight..... I did not know that people with diabetes were not supposed to walk around barefoot. Why is that?

I guess I have a lot of habits lol. Maybe I am just a touch OCD. When I get up in the morning for work I do the exact same thing everyday. get up.... go to the bathroom.... go get dressed.... take the dogs out.... brush my teeth, put on deodorant, do my hair, do my make up. It never gets done in any other order lol.

when I come home the first thing I do is put my pj's on and my slippers.... but the slipper thing kinda goes back to my whole shower thing. I am afraid I am gonna step in something wet... I can't stand it. and with two drooly dogs who cant keep water in their mouths it is bound to happen lol. So I go through a couple pairs of slippers a year lol.
