Claustrophobia: Fear of crowded areas or small places.

I have the worst fear of small spaces.Crowded areas isn't that bad for me, as being from one of the most populated countries on the team I can handle a mess of people XD. But the fact is that some times it gets hectic and if I were to have been born in America without the exposure I had before, I would probably be afraid of crowds too. But the main subject of fear in my eyes is that of small places. Now this may be hard to imagine, but picture you being trapped in a small opening in a cave, with no room to move, just a dim bit of light that is soon taken away with a few more falling rocks. It's not fully the fact that I couldn't move that scared me, but I would hate being hopeless and bound to die a slow death. Not very cheery I know, but hey the topic is about phobias.

Now I have another one that I can't seem to find a word for it but I'll use:

Necrophobia: Fear of death or dead things.

Firstly, I am not afraid of death to myself more than the next person. It's just an end and I agree that I'd have to leave some time or another, I won't hide the fact that if I am doomed to die, I wouldn't panic, I would just ... die O_O But what I fear is other people I know dying. It's not so much the fact that they were killed or stopped breathing, it's the idea that they no longer exist. When my grandma died, I spent nights thinking about how someone I could just picture in my head would not NEVER exist in the same world as me. I have a very hard time dealing with permanence, any type of decision that is irreversible draws a sense of hesitance in me, and death is the granddaddy of all permanent decisions. I also had a hard time when the likes of Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit left us, God bless their souls, because I could not get over the fact that they would never be. Hard to explain yes, but it's true all the same.

Ornithophobia: Fear of birds.

I am afraid of all types of birds. I can't honestly say I can live in the immediate presence of any type, species or gender of bird without being unlimitedly uncomfortable. Why? I hate the idea of birds, I hate the fact that they are these little things with winds that flap so wildly and hit against each other. Now I'm not saying I hate birds, they are fun. Birds = great. Birds + Me = Doom. I think this started when at my home (India) birds used to enter and fly around. I used to be petrified by them just hovering over me. This became even worse when I saw dead birds. The splattered guts and spread out feathers disgusts me so much that I am regretting making this post as I type T_T. Now say this fear of birds dead and alive was portrayed in degree by the amount X. My fears became Googleplex(X)^2 when my friend ran over a bird while he was driving around in a parking lot. Never give a sophomore the keys to a car, and never let someone morbidly afraid of birds sit by when you run over one.

*shudder*

Has anyone seen the new Indiana Jones movie? It was interesting because I went with two friends and all three of us had phobias of something in that movie. One of my friend's is afraid of bugs, you should have seen him jump from his seat during the gigantic ant scene. LOL. Another is afraid of snakes. 'nuf said. And I am afraid of aliens. I know that doesn't sound like a legit fear, but I think I must have been abducted or something. j/k?? I'm not one of those crazy people who go around wearing aluminum foil on their heads. But for an example: A couple years ago, I got off work very late. I was living with 2 roommates at the time, both asleep. I turned on the TV and started watching a movie that was on TV that I had never seen. It was "Signs". I was not expecting the scene where they were watching the news and running behind the kids was an alien. "Its behind!" AAAAAH. I jumped up screaming and ran into one of my roommates room and woke them up. LOL. I have never lived that one down.

I have a phobia that's close to being scared of heights. I love being high, I love watching down...
But when that involves me having to look over a rail, I'm scared. Especially low rails. Like the ones in my school, above the staircase. I have a classmate who is 1,90m tall and he often looks over the rails without fear and I can see a bit more than half of his body being over the rail. And then I freak out and go all like "Be careful!", "You're going to fall!" and stuff like that.

I have a phobia of Elevators (Thats right...elevators) Classified as Claustrophobic I believe???

When Theres stairs (Not Emergency Stairs) and a lift I usually go for the stairs but if its a tall building I go for the lift. Im scared that it will break down and all the oxygen will go.

Also Im a bit scared of loud thunder but thats another story.

Cheers,

I have always been terribly afraid of 2 things: storms and bugs (mostly spiders). I always think every single storm will turn into a tornado. I HATE tornadoes. The movie Twister scarred me for life. Also, bugs and spiders freak me out. They have tons of sticky creepy legs and huge eyes, they are like mini monsters to me. So I am actually afraid of bugs themselves, but storms I'm not really directly afraid of. I just always get nervous when I see storms rolling in because of what it may BECOME. So, there you go. My biggest fears.
