Whats your fear???

[phantomreptiles]

Just interested in what peoples fears are. Personally myself I am terrified of spiders and I know a few people on this site keep them as pets - and I am sure those that own them as pets can't understand why I have this fear. I guess its the same as those who fear snakes, I can't understand why they would fear something so beautiful.
I accidently opened a post with a spider for sale (I think it was from Hornet?) and felt physically ill, I would like to know if anyone has got over their phobia and how did you do it. It would also be interesting to see what people have fears of, as snakes are in the top ten of fears but most of us on this forum have something to do with them.

something bad happening to my kids and sharks!

I'm not scared by any animals. I'm more fascinated by them. Especially sharks and insects and spiders.

Not really a fan of pelicans though. I was attacked at the Coffs Harbour porpoise pool when I was 5 or 6, and haven't really liked those birds ever since.

Strong winds freak me out, especially when in conjunction with heights. I'm not acrophobic though...only when the wind is involved

 

[moosenoose]

I'm scared of snakes! Those things creep me out!

 

[GellyAmbert]

Possums!! its something about the way they stare at u like they're about to attack u at any moment... but never do.......

I would like to know if anyone has got over their phobia and how did you do it.

I heard somewhere that one of the zoos in sydney has special classes for arachniphobics... claiming to guantee u'll hold a spider in your hand by the end of the day or something like that anyway? so maybe check with zoos up your way??

Blind faith fanatical believers who have no grip on reality and follow what they are told even though they don't understand nor want to, scariest thing on the planet in my opinion.
