Do you have any phobias? You know when you are scare or even terrified by something or some situation. I have done a little search and discovered that there the list of phobias that people have is huge. Like for example: Bathofobia which is the fear of death, agoraphobia which is the fear of open spaces or insectophobia, fear of all insects. Personally I might have insectophobia and perhaps claustrophobia which is actually the fear of confined spaces.

I don't know what the correct phobic names are.... but.... I have a fear of heights - I really freak out and can hardly move or breathe if I am up somewhere too high. I also scared of putting my face in the water in the ocean - I am ok about going in fresh water or at the pool! - and I tried to go snorkling one day and I had the biggest panic attack and cut my arm on the rocks and everything - so embarressing! I also have a funny thing about hairs that aren't attached to the body anymore. I am fine with my own hair attached to my head (I have hair past my backside!) but as soon as it falls off on me or in my brush it almost makes me get physically sick if I have to touch it! Like if I have to clean the hair brush I dry reach everytime! If I go out to a restaurant and I find a hair in my food, makes me vomit and I can't eat any of that dish that the hair was in anymore..... even if it was one of my own hairs or someone else that I know! Yes.... I am a strange one!

You are not strange. I will have to agree with you on the hair. They are really discusting and they make me vomit too! I didn't think of mentioning that but I have the same phobia. So I totally understand.
