What phobias do you have?

I must say, what annoys me the most is when the elevator gets stuck. This happened to me many times and it's like a bad dream. It occurs exactly when I am in a hurry, or when I'm too happy about something and I feel like I would wanna sing. It's not necessary because I'm afraid of it, it bothers me too much. Well, to be honest, I guess I'm a little bit claustrophobic. This is weird, when I was a child I enjoyed being stucked in closed spaces, I played often like that, and some of those games were pretty dangerous and stupid. And now what? I'm an adult and I have this crazy thoughts. Why is that? When did that started? Another thing that really disturbs me are insects. I just can't stand them, it makes me mad to see them. It's not that I would kill them, are little creatures, they can't defend themselves...I don't know, some of them are so disgusting:( As this wasn't enough, I saw the news a few days ago. One headline was about the appearance of the black widow in my country. Well...this one I find it dangerous and disgusting. I hate spiders, in general. Other phobia of mine, and this is very weird, is that I get scared often when I hear the cellphone. It makes me mad, sometimes I even hear myself screaming ( due to surprise or I'm I too nervous?) and this is damn too embarrassing. I guess I should begin to practice yoga or something like that. And there are still many phobias that I have...What about you? What phobias do you have and how do you try to stop them? Or you don't even try to do so? Don't tell me you don't have any, I will not believe you.

I cannot stand out the darkness even in my own house, well I remember when I was maybe 8 or 9 I went in the kitchen to keep my plate in the sink then when turning back I heard someone calling me from behind near the window,I turn to see like a man in the dark, I did not stop calling my mom and for help,I even fell and was like really traumatized, then again one day I went to take a bath and when I was washing myself the lights went off and the mirror fell down, I could see nothing at all and I was like a rock in the bath tub, a yelled and I could not even come out of the tub though. From these days I continue to have such events in my life so i do not like to stay in darkness alone.

I had the same problem some time ago...now it's better, since I practice (when I have time)meditation. A few minutes a day, especially before going to sleep. Sometimes it makes miracles, or at least I feel much better. It is good for inner peace.

Well, you're not the only one :) Not needles bother me, but doctors. I respect their work, but still, I'm not too pleased to interact with them.

I have a phobia about eels or snakes. When I go into aquariums, I get very tense and uptight, I LOVE looking at fish, I love seeing the unusual tropical fish, but I know that there is gonna be some sort of eel somewhere, and they just freak me out, I once got caught in an aquarium where there were eels everywhere and I started to hyperventilate because I was just so scared and creeped out

Yes good topic... we all have something we fear about. I do think a bit negative sometimes.. I fear whether all my plans will succeed or not..Although i work for its succcess, many times events beyond my control have caused my plans to fail. So i am always apprehensive about success. I know i can succeed but i am scared others might spoil it thx
