Phobia

[royaler]

I can't be a front seat passenger without feeling sick ...... I'm told its psychological - that I probably feel like this because I'm not in control of the car. I also feel sick on long bus trips and avoid them at all costs!!

I've a phobia about accumulating debt; I've never owed more than $2600. I guess the thought of people ringing down my phone requesting the money I owe them puts the fear of God in me

Aquaphobia (I just made that up?)

When I was about 2, my father decided to teach me how to swim..: threw me in deep water -- sink or swim.. I sank.. had to be

revived.. Is it surprising then, that I don't like to get my face in water.. even when I shower I won't get my face wet.. It is facial

cleanser wipy things for me all the way... LOL . Had a couple of near drownings since then, but interestingly enough I relish Pier

Jumping.. The fine art of (having some tequila on board) run out on the Pier (SoCal: Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach,

Laguna, and the very best -- a story on its very own: Catalina Island.. LOL.. oh, yeah, and the one off the top of a restaurant in

Redondo Beach.. a hoot) and jump into the surf.. It's illegal.. It's dangerous.. It's usually done naked.. You have to time the jump

to the surf coming in.. It's a Fine Art, I tell 'ya LOL . Thankfully I have enough sense to only do it with my surfer buddies (they

can double as life guards )

Disclaimer: haven't done it in a couple of years.. have I outgrown that youthful exhuberance ?? Nah..

I guess watersports is out of the question then.... darn....

Funny .

If it's dangerous AND involves a couple of Cali lifeguards, you may talk me into it

Sharks, frightens the life out of me everytime I see one in real life, I suppose it's not really a phobia, just a self preservation reaction..

How often do you see one in real life ?? Fair fear though

Flying

God, I hate Airplanes.

[JAMESCORK]

Has to be heights.
Once I was on the London eye and had to sit on the bench in the middle as my legs went a bit wobbly.
Seen on discovery channel recently they've built a glass walkway into the Grand Canyon.
What nutters would want to do that?
No amount of money would get me on it.

Im with Harry on heights.... give me the willies.....

Have gone scuba diving many times, not recently tough and not in Ireland, too bloody cold..

Scuba diving in shark waters is such a brave and manly thing to do!

Mine is a self preservation thing too. I will die if a moth touches me.
