I have Acrophobia- Fear of heights. Whenever I am in high places, my palms start to sweat. Do you have any? Just Curious, SFC

Ofcourse I have, I think all people has it they just don't admit it. My zodiac sign is aquarius, I love the hear the roar of the sea but I'm so afraid to swim in deep sea. I don't know why but everytime the water is higher than me I felt I'm drowning.

I have little fear of going swimming myself. But the top of my phobia list is fear of heights. Stay Safe:)

I have a peculiar phobia for escalators I know I must get over it and go over and step boldly on it.Little children do this and I feel so foolish.My earlier bad experience[when i tripped and fell once] is the reason for this. I had just started a discussion on this and one kind person had given a very nice suggestion.

Like any other kid will get a hang of riding the escalator. Eventually by doing it repeatedly kids and you as well will get used to it. Be brave, you can do it:)

That is quite ironic, you being an owl LOL. Maybe when you get a little bigger, you will outgrow your fear. Have fun posting :)

I don't know if it's an actual phobia, but my biggest fear is of being raped. It has always been a big fear of mine, ever since I first understood what it was. I think probably the sense of violation, along with the helplessness and violence that accompany the actual act, is what makes it so scary for me. No, I've never been raped, and G-d willing my fiancee will always be there to protect me so that I never am.

no hon, I don't really have a phobia, but she because you don't like something does mean it is a phobia, phobias are really nasty, some people can't breath, faint feeling like they want to die, and they don't even go up stairs or elevators, they just can be in a high place, sound more to me, like you just get nervous, but not a real phobia.
