I was watching television and it suddenly dawned on me that there are certain things that creep me out
(heck.. even the "thought" of them does). :eek:
1) the sound of a swarm of flies!!
2) Walking and my face hitting a spider web!!
3) Walking into a swarm of those flying tiny gnat like things that hover a few feet above the ground (what ARE those things)?!?!
Anyone else have things that creep them out (be it logical or not)?
Omg, when i am walking and my face hits a spider web i freak out.
I slap myself in the face, run in circles, rip my shirt off lol.
WHAT IF THE SPIDERS ON ME!!
They really scare me :-/
Walking barefoot in the lawn kinda creeps me out. I used to do it all the time when I was little, but for some reason, I don't like it much anymore. I always think I'm gonna step on something sharp. I still do it occasionally, but I prefer to wear sandals or flip-flops or something.
oh yeah, and swimming in ponds and lakes is not my favorite either. For some reason, inhabitants of the pond/lake are attracted to me and every time I set foot in one, a get nipped by fish and turtles - it's extremely weird. So I prefer pools because I know there's nothing stalking me from below...lol
LOL.. I just had a great visual of this!! :laughtillhurts:Quote:

Oooh I just thought of another thing!
Being near the "edge" of a high building's roof, open window, etc..
I have an extreme fear of heights unless I am enclosed in something or there are high bars/railings that I can't fall (or get "pushed" thru). Let's just say that I always think "what if I fell?" when I look over the edge of something high up and sadly I don't trust "anyone" enough to let them near me on the roof of a high building or an open window!!
I don't like it when I stand next to my bed barefoot when the lights are off. I just get an odd feeling that something is going grab my ankle.
I absolutely hate swimming in the ocean beyond the point where I can do a floor check (go into pencil formation and sink until you touch the ground) because I constantly feel like a huge shark is going to fly up and chomp me in half or a dolphin will shoot up and body check me in the stomach with its nose. Ugh!
..And, of course, the spider web thing.
I think those are no-see-ums. Seriously, that's what they're called. I never swim in the ocean, I always think sharks are going to attack me without warning. Casualtie, I feel the same way about being barefoot next to a bed. (Saw that movie Boogeyman when I was little; it grabs a kid's ankle and pulls him under. :shock: ) Anything with roaches make me feel all creepy crawly for the rest of the day. (They could be on me!!)Quote:

This reminds me of another one!
I can't stand to have anything hanging from my bedroom door or bedroom door knob while I'm trying to sleep. For example a "robe" .. in the dark it kinda looks like the silhoute of a person.
Like Lunalight said, those are no see ums. They suck your blood O.OQuote:

I also am scared to walk barefoot, but i will do it.
I was in my neighboors yard once and i stepped on a HUGE betel or somthing, inbetween my toes, beetle parts everywere lol
ahh, and the "what if they dont like me?" thought that comes to mind. (--All alone on the top of a mountain (near a cliff, which they convieniantily told you to come closer to LOL) with who you think is your "friend" lol) :?
Casualtie, too much Bill Watterson for you. Something under the bed is drooling! Seriously, you've got me feeling freaked about standing close to my bed barefoot now...
Anyway, for me, it's heights. Or rather, grounds. See, it's not the height that'll kill you, it's the ground, when you hit it. But I can't stand to stand close to those huge floor to ceiling picture windows in tall buildings. Makes me feel like if I lean up against them, or fall, the glass will give way, and I'll fall. Completely irrational, I know, but that's me for you.
Got another one....
When you are walking or out riding a bike on the street and someone drives their car by REALLY SLOW. I sit there for a good 20 seconds, thinking, "Ohmygod, ohmygod, are they going to stop and get out? Then what do I do?"
Heights, I could never be high up next to a window. Also when I was younger I couldn't stand next to tall buildings, I had a fear of uncontrollably floating up in the air.
I also hated walking past large groups of people in the dark, I some times feel like I'm going to get stabbed :blue:
for me it's pitch blackness, my room is never really pitch black because of street lights.
Because i used to have alot of nightmares i see anything in my room as something horrible. Say i stare at a crunched up top i was wearing, its a human head or something. When i look at patterns on my wallpaper, i see little faces and stuff. When i look at model dinosaurs it will look like they just moved a tiny bit, that kinda thing.
Another thing is when i'm sitting in a room with my cat in it, especially when it's laying on me. My cat suddenly stares at something, though theres nothing there and sometimes it starts hissing or getting scared then runs out of the room really fast( one time the door was closed and it smacked its head :wink: ), still scary.
dude we live in England, lmao, thats not irrational, its because alot of stabbings do happen, especially around London.Quote:

Ok.. now their creep factor just jumped up about 10 points!Quote:

Walking through a dark church kind of creeps me out, too...Quote:

*Thinks back on last night's episodes of Naruto* Why, Itachi? WHY?!?!?
Same. When I lived in Portland, Oregon that shit always scared me. They got a lot of busses there.Quote:

maggots http://www.insidiousreflections.com/...es/Maggots.jpg
imagine.....
Meal-worms aren't so bad; lots of protein.
Clairity, I blame you talking about spider-webs, and watching part of Castaway where he's eating a crab, for having a dream about a thread with a crab on it getting on a book I was holding! I totally realized where that came from when I woke up! Too bad I didn't get lucid from it, I should have! Then I would be thanking you.
LOL.. I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to cause anyone bad dreams!Quote:

I'm scared of heights, especially in like really high-going ferris wheels, and cable cars :shock: Other heights I'm sortof ok with, as long as I'm like enclosed.
The thought of being buried alive freaks me out.
Spiders, they make my blood go cold and sweat break out on my body. And larvae and maggots, eeek! In fact, I'm terrified of bugs!
The rest I can do, although churches at night are a bit freaky.
Maggots... Being buried alive... God, both of thoses are horrible things to even think about. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/scared0016.gifQuote:

I am afraid to eat anything for like hours after the fact.
Being in the middle of the ocean...I think it's a common fear.
well im obviously not creeped out by thwe following but i dislike them:
People shouting at each other, especially if its at me :blue:
Being upside down
I always get this unnerving feeling whenever I find myself alone in a forest, and I look around in all directions and it's nothing but endless trees. You don't know what's watching you, smelling you, following you... it's creepy.
Yeah that too, also for me being alone in outer space.... gives me the heebie jeebies!Quote:

Looking in the mirror while on acid.
People who use the bathroom and don't wash their hands afterwards. (Ladies, you'd be surprised what percentage of men actually do this.)
The idea of swimming while there's something potentially dangerous underwater really creeps me out.
Heights
....And HUGH JACKMAN :P
Haha, I always jump into my bed because of the ankle-grabbing thing. I probably shouldn't make this list right before bed, but:
Open. Closet. Doors. My god, I hate them.
Darkness
Freakin' death.
Spiders
Anything creepy crawly.
If I can't see through water, I won't swim in it, no way.
Same here. I have a really weird one...and i kinda feel stupid saying it, but i can't look at a glass of milk.Quote:

Alright, laugh it up =P
the one thing that creeps me out most are americans who think theyre leaders arent as bad as nazis.
oh and evangelical cult christians.
* Clairity starts looking suspiciously at her glass of milk :eh: .. and backs away :eek: *Quote:

I am creeped out by little kids eating. Not babies... but just after that. Cannot abide being in sight or earshot of the spectacle.
I'm creeped out by anybody even threatening to tickle me.
I'm creeped out when my feet are dirty. I can be up to my neck in grease and gook, but not my feet.
Not having much time to do stuff.
the fact that our (meaning america's) government can blatantly lie to us about so many things, now and in the past, and get away with it.
the fact that so many american citizens believe everything the gov't tells them.
seriously, i used to be joking when i would put "the Secret Government" on myspace surveys when they'd ask what you're afraid of. now, i'm not really joking. and i'm not sure i really need to include the "Secret" anymore. why worry about the Secret Government when you can worry about the legitimate government for the same reasons?
Yeah...
I don't get freaked out by many things, but the other day something was bothering my eye and I pulled back the lids, and saw a hair curling around my entire eye. o.0 Got no idea how it got there.
I wear contacts, by the way.
That was weird.
Liberals freak me out, and idealists. How far can your head be up your butt? :) Bugs are cool. Anyone ever eaten fried turtle? Yummm...
Ah, uuhhhh, aah, aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhiiiuuueeeeeeeeewwu uuiiieeeee!!!!!!Quote:

The idea of something piercing your flesh and muscle with something sharp (nail, knife, anything sharp...).
One of my only irrational fears is dark water. When I was a kid part of our swimming pool in town was an old quarry that had been allowed to fill up with water. There were three diving boards, a slide, and a couple of rafts. About a quarter of the quarry was roped off for swimming. I had no problem with it, even though the water was brownish green and not easy to see through. However, at night, I didn't like swimming in it (we weren't allowed to often). I would, but I didn't like it much. That was then. NOW, I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing after dark. Lakes, the ocean, ponds. Not after dark!
When I drive to work I have to cross over a small bridge (it's right next to that same quarry from my youth) that crosses a creek. As long as I can't see the water, I'm fine. But tonight the water was really high because of rain, and I had to look straight ahead. I can't even look at it! Wierd, I know.
Not weird at all to me.. I have the same fear. I even get a little uneasy driving over those high overpasses on the highway. I often think what if I took the turn too fast and hit that "low" railing.. what's to stop my car from plummeting over the side?Quote:
