Thread: What are your phobias and habits

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    I have a couple big fears. My biggest fear is of people I don't know or don't know well. I also have a fear of groups of people, big or small.

    Another big fear I have is of doctors and hospitals.

    I also have a fear of leaving the house and my pets for longer than a few hours. I've given up on overnight travel. I also hate driving ( or riding in the car) at night.

    Fears:

    - I'm extremely afraid of spiders - especially when I find them in my bedroom.
    - I can't leave my bedroom at night without Tango for some reason. I always feel like something is going to jump out and grab me...lol.
    - Another fear I have is of something happening to my mom when she leaves the house, whether she's just going to work, the grocery store, wherever. I always get worried that something might happen to her.
    - I check each lock in the doors in my house atleast 3 times before I go to bed. Have to make sure everything is safe and nobody can get in.

    Weird things:

    - I have to cut every fruit before I eat it, and I eat all of them with a fork. In fact, I won't eat any sort of food with my hands if I can help it.

    - I can't stand weird textured things - ex. I love the taste of bananas, but the texture grosses me out, so I don't eat them.
    - My constant need to wash (or atleast rinse) my hands after I'm done using the phone, touching the TV remote, opening the cupboard where the garbage can is, touching the counter tops, shower walls, etc. I'm not sure why really.
    - I can't stand dirty (eye) glasses. I wash mine atleast twice a day, usually more.
    - I hate when people touch me. Not really sure why.

    Just thought of another habit of mine, I do not eat Hotdogs, Hamburgers or Sausages on bread/Rolls. I have to cut them up, on a plate, and eat them with a fork!

    I do not like spiders, although over the years I've gotten a bit better. I don't start yelling and screaming and run from the room anymore ; I just scoot out, find Dad -- yes, even if he is already in bed asleep - and he has to get it.

    I have a hard time in hospitals. For years, anyone in the family knew that, if I came in the hospital to see them, then they were dying. Mostly I would pass out 5 steps inside. That has gotten better, since with Dad now living with me, we spend more time in hospitals. I still get queasy almost every trip and need to take a break and step outside into fresh air.

    Mayo on fries? I LOVE mayo, I need to try that!

    I have a really weird phobia, of chewed gum. It just grosses me out SO much and I kind of freak out. I hate chewed gum because its all over the sidewalk, etc. IT'S gross. I also cannot use the restrooms at school, I HATE school bathrooms, I will go in them and only use them when I desperately need it or if I am super bored during a lesson. I am also VERY scared being alone in the dark. If someone is sleeping over, in a hotel, etc. I am fine but I cannot sleep with the lights off alone or without my door open.

    Habits-I chew my nails, I hate it but can't help it. I cry anytime I see a dead animal, even just a picture. If I am on the bus or with a friend, I don't usually cry until later, I don't know why but when I get home the picture is still fresh in my mind and will last for hours. I hate it. I cannot sleep with socks on. I can't wear anything on my feet in the house for that matter! I always have to be listening to music when I am on the computer. Also, when I get dressed in the morning for school I always put my pants on, then socks, then shirt. I can't wear skirts or dresses EVER unless I am going somewhere fancy like a wedding, I always wear jeans or something. I HATE skirts, etc. This also just started recently, whenever I go to a amusement park, I look for the nearest Roller Coaster. Everytime I go to six flags, I have to go on AT least one..

    Yes, I am very odd.

    This may sound real odd from someone who works on a boat but I get motion sickness. If I am in something moving, I HAVE to be able to see outside or I get sick. I can't ride a bus unless I sit up front where I can see, can't ride in a enclosed van and I found out last trip on the boat I work on, that if they cover the windows (to spray paint), I also get sick.

    Phobias- I have a slight phobia of drowning. I have had two close experiences as far as drowning goes so if I go to a waterpark, I am always really wary and stuff.

    Weird Habbits- I have a really weird habbit of eating half of things. For example, if I have two enchiladas, I will eat half of both of them. I can't stand to eat a whole one.

    I always lick and wipe off my lips. I always have a napkin or something on my person. I lick my lips and then I wipe the spit off with a napkin. I can't stand having dry lips but I also can't stand to have chapstick or anything like that on my lips.

    Like others, no food can touch. If my parents would mix my food, I would refuse to eat it. I don't know why but I think it's gross.

    I have to do my 'night ritual' before I go to bed. It's an order of how I get ready for bed- first I pee, brush teeth, wash face, change into PJs, brush hair, unmake bed, say goodnight to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING living in my house at least twice, bless myself with holy water, put cream on my hands and drink some water and THEN go to bed.

    I have to go to the bathroom RIGHT before I get into bed or into the shower. Even if I don't really have to go I still have to try.

    Well hubby gets up for work about 2 hours before me lol so he takes them out the first time in the morning. I just take them out before work to make sure it's all out of their system lol.

    I am also afraid of storms. LOL we had a really bad one here the other night and we got hail..... and apparently hail is sometimes a precurser to a Tornado which is wht I am REALLY terrified of. I was almost ready to herd everyone into the basement. when I was a kid I always went to my moms room at night during a storm.... UNTIL they moved my room to the basement and I knew that I would be safe in the basement during a tornado. even though I have NEVER witnessed a tornado.

    Also, I cannot sleep with a sheet (except for the fitted sheet that covers the mattress). I sleep with a comforter ONLY. Even when I go to a hotel the first thing I do is untuck the sheet and take it off the bed. and I CANNOT have the comforter tucked in at all.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Same I hate them, they seem pointless too they are so thin. I can sleep with 2 comfortors but not sheets. I also hate it being tucked in anywhere I like to bunch it all up with my body.
