I used to be afraid of clowns and had still do not like them much..

I've thought about why clowns are creepy... it's because they are so intrusive. They get into your space. I'm not afraid of them- they just irritate me.

I don't know why or how..but rubber masks bother me.

I'm really not afraid of much. (shrug)

When I was a kid I avoided clowns like they had the plague, when I was really little I remember shrieking in terror when a clown came near me.

They do not bother me today of course, but I am still not crazy about them.

I like the elaborately and expensively rescued fear - there's a lot of effort and imagination gone into having such a fear!

Only snakes for me and I've never seen one apart from TV so it is irrational - but, I could never imagine going to a country populated by snakes.

Regards

I've had the good/misfortune to face a lot My irrational fears. Most of my remaining ones are rational. But I still occasionally do silly things. Which for the most part should remain private or shared by close friends. The 24/7 news hungry maw is ever waiting to broadcast a stupid moment, and video cams and phones are rampant.

Wear clean underpants.

We're all humans, Kedicat - we all have our flaws and our insecurities so no surprise to hear about the occasional silly things.

Advice taken on the clean underpants, knew I was going wrong somewhere!

arachnophobia is my problem. I have a deal going in the garden, they stay in their area and I stay in mine at night...

IB, I live by a river and as such I have all sorts of wierd and wonderful creatures sneaking into my room. Every night there's fresh spiders and spiders webs hanging off the corners of my ceiling. I don't mind them actually - gives the place a bit of character and when I've been watching Platoon it helps me to imagine I'm in the jungle fighting for my life.

Mind you, our spiders aren't in the same league as the killers you have over there so I understand where you're coming from.

No North, we don't. We live lives of such liberty and prosperity as to be unimaginable to our ancestors. For evidence of this, I offer that in a "1984" scenario, one or both of us would have been 'disappeared' long ago.

Rich, we live in a society where our Governments can tell us a pack of lies to get us to go and kill ourselves. Half of us knew it was a pack of lies prior to any inspection and still couldn't do anything about it. Now, we all know it's a pack of lies and we still don't do anything about it. If that is not a thought controlling police state I don't know what is. We have been manipulated to the extent that we are watching the slaughter go on around us and we have bigger concerns such as the 2 cars and the big house. This is the problem - there aren't enough people who realise we are being manipulated to the extent we kill each other.

One day the penny will drop.

Of course, I have firearms at my disposal, so I'll be a bit harder to drag off in the night for re-education.

Ernst Roehm had an army at his disposal - didn't do him much good.

When I was a kid, I used to be terrified of 2 things. 1. Giant squid, though I don't know why. I still can't get into water that I can't see the bottom. 2. I was afraid that my dolls were going to kill me after seeing the movie "Dolls". I don't like bugs much, but I'm not afraid that they'll kill me. LOL

When I was younger, I had 2 fears. The first fear was of aliens. Those little green men with the big black oval eyes. My parents used to watch shows talking about alien abductions when I was a kid. My bedroom window, was on the perfect angle for a full moon to shine in when one occured. Because of all the alien abduction shows I watched, where a good majority of the people described how in the middle of the night a bright light shone through their window and then found themselves paralyzed as they looked up in horror, only to see little heads with big oval eyes staring down at them, I developed that fear. I used to be so afraid that I would go to sleep with a knife under my pillow when there was a full moon out because of this. Thankfully, that one eventually passed.

The second big fear I have is an eternity of loneliness. Of dying and realizing that you have no body, no physical sensations, no sight or sound, nothing but your thoughts for all eternity. No one to talk to but yourself and then the slow realization that you are going insane. Irrational fear, yes. But it is nonetheless one that I do have. I died on the operating table a few years back and was clinically pronounced dead for 35 seconds. It was only after this that I developed this fear. Maybe it was because when I died, there was nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch. I went to sleep and woke up hurting and in more pain than I had ever experienced in my life. Pretty much cemented my belief that there isnt an afterlife as we know it.

I've a touch of claustrophobia, small places don't really get to me until they actually touch me, like an MRI. Closets and elevators etc ... I'm fine in.

I have major aeroacrophobia. I can ride a roller coaster, but not a ferris wheel. If I'm focused on something else I can work around this one but when I lose focus .. it's pretty bad. I blame this on my brothers who decided it would be "funny" to hang me over the edge of the Liberty Memorial head first when I was much younger.

On another note the phobia name I find the most ironic is
hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia ~ otherwise known as the fear of long words.
