I read through about half of the A's in that very extensive phobias list that Enigma posted... if I had more time, I would list all of the ones that I think I have... but the ones that stick out to me right now is the fear of needles, spiders, and heights.

Now remember, to have it classify as a phobia it needs to be so overly dibilitating that it causes you to be unable to live a "normal" life. IE, fear of needs: if you have this, you will freak out in the worst way at the site of one, and therefor would be almost impossible to be administered anything via a needle (like an injection) without sedating you. The worst of that fear is not even being able to be around knitting needles. Fear of spiders means you would have a serious fit even if you saw a fake, even stuffed animal kind, of spider. People have fears of things, such as I hate spiders, and I'm not good with heights. However, it is not a phobia in me. If you think you have a phobia, treat it lightly, and talk to a doctor. What you think is a phobia may just be a strong fear or dislike of something. Like I said, a phobia is a fear of something that is very dibilitating and can cause life problems for the person.

Yes, good point. I wasn't sure if I had a Phobia of Spiders, or not. But you putting it like that, I do not. i have a puppet Spider still from when I was allot younger, and the legs move to the exact of a Spider would, and its big. I don't mind the real tiny ones either, and they do not cause me problems.

Acrophobia- Fear of heights. But mine is more complex....... I have only got a fear of height while being on a small platform e.g. the top of a step ladder. But I am perfectly fine being at the top of any tall building or in an aeroplane etc.

Things can work out that way. Some people may have stage fright, or some may not like performing in front of people they know, or only 1 or 2 people. But they would prefer to perform in front of thousands of people instead! I know, I am one of them!

Hmm...don't know about weird. I think it is has to depend on the individual,a nd also, the fact that they may get embarrassed in front of some of the people they know. Where as, when there are people they don't know, they don't know them, so why be afraid, shy, or embarrassed. I think that could be a reason.

Thats another popular one as well. I think I maybe have been slightly afriad too when I was younger. I think its because they are so freaky looking and act really strange, plus, you see these Horror things about clowns coming alive and doing these things.
