Have you ever laid on the ground under a starry sky, and considered the fact that there is nothing between you and the depths of the universe? And the only reason you don't fall off the planet is because it, too, is hurtling through space? It's quite thrilling, and scary too. I have gotten the same feeling flying a kite at night. Perhaps this is the sensation riverotter gets from the binoculars.

Alla yall's is making fun of my phobia!! !
I don't even understand it myself. But it may be something like the above. Now I know I'll never be able to do it.

I have that same phobia, but so does my husband. His is worse, so I'm the one who usually ends up making the phone call. He also hates to place orders in restaurants or fast food places, so I always order for him (he tells me what he wants, and I place the order).[/quote]

i hate ordering food, too!! because i have this feeling.. like the people that work there are in a position of authority... and then i get nervous..

No, it goes way deeper than that. Seeing something one is not supposed to see? I don't know- but it's definitely not vertigo.
If I could understand it, I could probably get over it and more fully enjoy one of my special interests.

Ok... this is kinda embarrasing I think but here it goes.

I am deathly afriad of puking, thats right!! I am terrified of the thought of being sick to my stomach. WHen I was 7 I had the stomach flu, ever since then im terrified of just thinking about it. Sometimes I even have night mares about it, seriously. God I feel stupid... heh... but its true.

I too, am afraid of mascots and people in suits. I'm 18, and much too old for them to care about me, thank goodness, but I always think they're just gonna come up to me and try and hug me.. it creeps me right out because I'd have no clue what to do if they did come up to me.

I had one guy in a dalmation dog suit come up to me out of no where when I was a kid of about 6-8 and I was made to have my photo taken with him. It was very awkward for me. I didn't know what to do or how to act. I mean, it's guy in a dog suit who's not allowed to speak... how do you react to that? I quickly learnt that I was the odd kid out, because I saw him go to other kids and they all seemed very amused and excited by it.

You can stop feeling stupid, because I have the same fear. I am so terrified of throwing up that I can almost always stop it before it happens with a mind over matter sort of thing. I can't even say the word puke out loud, I hate it so bad. I have been pregnant 4 times, and I did not once ever throw up from morning sickness. I held it all down even though it made me feel 10 times worse for far longer then if I had just gotten it over with.

I'm terrified of the sky, possibly tied to a fear of the loss of gravity and floating into space. It sounds pretty stupid, but it's bothered me since I was a kid.

I have this really weird fear of hearing my parents "do it" at night. I used to get on the Internet and wander around the house at night, but now I'm afraid to leave my room when my parents go to bed.

Dolphins creep me out. They're easy to avoid, though.

I'm afraid of caterpillars. Especially big green ones. The horrible thing is, I suffer from hallucinations so I often see then on me and around me. And not tiny caterpillars, either... most of then are over six feet long.

But then again, I suppose most people would be afraid of a six foot caterpillar.

I have a public restroom phobia. I cannot make myself use the bathroom if there are other people in it. Which considering I must have the tiniest bladder ever, is a problem.
