Intense fears or dislikes?

Post Reply New Topic

I personally have an intense dislike of olives as well as creepy things such as insects. Okay I just was thinking of crawling things and my whole body spazzed out for a few seconds like an intense spine-tingling sensation.

But olives really upset me as well.

I have an intense fear of heights and blood.

Cockroaches. Whenever one gets near me I squeal like a little girl.

I also cannot stand corn (popcorn, though, is okay ). I can't even stand the sight and the smell of it. My mom said that I've always detested corn.

FINALLY! somebody else who hates olives. basically the green olives ["olive" olives] which to me taste both metallic and bitter as well as mouthwrenchingly sour. if something has been cooked with olives [like a pizza for example], even if the olives are promptly removed before service, i still taste the bitter/sour/metallic olive taste in the food and it ruins it for me.
also bees, flies, mosquitos and spiders. i get out the vacuum cleaner whenever i see any of these nasty little hummers in the house.

it is bees which make my bass voice go up a few octaves. i got desensitized to cock-a-roaches [what they were called in the army] when i was in the army and had to paint a barracks floor with the little devils just crawling with 'em. they were permanently entombed in 2 coats of semigloss red paint. as for corn, that is very interesting- i have no fear of corn, but for some reason it has a nasty tendency to go up into my sinuses when i swallow some during a meal. one sickening incident was when i was at a cafeteria, eating my corn when a kernal got stuck in the back of my throat, and i coughed which made it go into my sinuses, which made me sneeze and cough violently until it sailed out of my nose onto the plate of the person eating across from me. i think everybody at the table was watching me spazz-out and their eyes followed the trajectory of the flying kernal as it flew upon the other fellow's plate. he got up and walked away, leaving his contaminated plate of barely eaten food at the table. if the other folk sitting at the table weren't there watching i would have been sorely tempted to reach over and eat the other fella's food also- after all, i already had adapted its germs to my own.

Rollercoasters. Well, not rollercoasters, per se, more like riding them as looking at them, and watching them, doesn't have any influence on me. I think it's even cool looking at video shot from a rider's perspective.

As a kid I remember riding a little kiddie rollercoaster (just banks, turns, and dips) and was white-knuckling the handle bar the entire time. As a teenager I tried to face my fear head-on by going to an amusement park and getting on a large wooden rollercoaster, complete with loops. I waited in line, but as I moved closer I started getting more and more anxious. I was still several people away when I think I went into a panic attack (or something pretty close)...I started pushing people out of my way and jumping over barriers to get out of line. I spent the rest of the day at the amusement park just walking around or playing video games in the arcade.

I haven't gone near a rollercoaster since.

You're hilarious.

I also have an intense dislike of green olives. It's just one of those foods that people either really like or really hate.

Insects - Eww! Ok so spiders with legs in proportion with their body size don't worry me but ones that have those big, long bouncy legs make me want to run away as fast as I can. I also really, really, really fear moths. It's the only thing I can say that I have a true phobia of.

i have a fear of heights and seeing needles

i don't mind the sight of needles but i cannot stand them skewering my skin. i am sensitive to not just the sharp poking pain of the puncture but also the rough feel of the metal as its microscopic barbs rasp my flesh on the way in.

I have an intense fear of seeing or hearing people choking. For example, when my nephew choked a couple of years ago, I plugged my ears, let out a primal scream, ran away as fast as I could and dove behind the couch, huddled up and shivering.

My worst nightmare distilled into TV form is the TLC show Your Kid Ate What. I can't watch even a little bit of it without going into full-blown panic mode.

I used to dislike green olives while I had a special place in my heart for black olives. However, I then discovered some green olives are of higher quality and taste better.

I fear chatty females which are lonely and decide that because I am a female and alone, they can talk to me about girly things.

I fear grasshoppers and katydids because I was traumatized as a child after I put them in jars and they hopped until their legs came off. Alas, I could not perform limb reatachment surgery on an insect.

I also fear my own mind and going mad.

While not an extreme fear, this dead chicken disturbs me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rorschach_blot_04.jpg

Spiders.

Totally irrational and I don't actually fear them per se, but the sight of one makes all my hair stand on end and I go into panic mode if one gets too close to me. I tell people that I'd use a handgun on a large enough spider, and I'm only half joking...

I also have an intense fear of today's normal teenagers and very young adults.

Aww CockneyRebel, I hope you're not afraid of me!

I'm not scared of you.
