of what and why

in all seriousness, i'm afraid of old people. i can't explain why, because i don't know why. i was afraid of my great grandmother when she was alive [she passed when i was 8]. and if i hadn't known my other grandparents my whole life, i'd be afraid of them too. i freak out when i see them. and everyone thinks i'm bullshitting it... but i'm not.

Social phobia which, untreated, finally led to full blown agorophobia (sp?) -- had great difficulty even leaving my bedroom when I was finally hospitalized.
That's the "what". As for the "why", a total absence of reason is one thing that separates a true phobia from being simply a strong fear. I had no reason whatsoever to fear people or public places and at its worst, I would have even denied it. (Of course, while secretly, and frantically seeking an escape route)

What do you mean by bad? I have Claustraphobia from being stuck in an Elevator for 3 hours. If you mean a bad habit.. I don't
think I have one although I love to crossdress
and I see nothing bad in that! I sometimes feel
dirty being male because of the dirty talk so many males do so I try to get away from that
and the only way I know to do that is being a crossdresser!

I have two phobias. First one which is the worst is people. I have social phobia. The second one is bees. I am very scared of being stung.

I'm a bit afraid of spiders, but I wouldn't go so far as calling it a phobia.

I have a phobia of death. I guess I'm just afraid to die, not knowing what will happen afterwards.

Rabbits-because one bit me when I was 5
Insects/spiders-because I was in the bathroom when I was 6 at my school and I saw a blue tarantula
heights-because when I'm on planes there's always turbulence
death-because it's ineveitable and I finally realized it when I started to haev dreams about my own funeral
clowns-because of Killjoy (if you see the movie you know why)

Wasps. Hornets. If one gets in my house, I'll ask a neighbor to come in and kill it for me. My husband walked into the house with a huge wasp crawling on his shirt and I ran clear across the house to get away from it. My husband calmly walked over to the window, opened it, and brushed the wasp outside. I even use garlic spray(available at bug stores)on my house to keep them away.
