While I was living in Gran Canaria my ex girlfriend told me she had a fear of whales tails. She couldn't watch them on the TV when the tail came out of the water.
So, being the considerate boyfriend, I drove her down the coast to this roundabout just outside of Mogan.

Mine is very weird and my husband thinks its hilarious, but i cannot bear labels in clothes, especially huge shiny flappy ones, they make me want to be sick, in the summer i see ladies walking around in vest tops with the labels hanging out and i feel sick for them......

I only have one proper phobia: water. I can't even put my face under the shower

Other things that scare me a bit are: Alsatians, feet, other people's vomit, post (anything in my name) and polenta. The post thing is getting better, well it had to, as I was getting in trouble for non-payment of bills even though I had the money for them.

I'm working on my water phobia, but ideally I'd have a whole pool to myself. It's part fear of the water, part other people splashing (they might drown me!) and part wearing a swimsuit. I worry that any hairs will show and I can never seem to get a properly smooth bikini line (sorry, TMI).

I'm going to wander off to sit quietly in the corner now

I suffer from xylophobia, a fear of wood. I can't touch unvarnished wood and feel sick when I see others touching wood (I can't watch cookery programs if they involve wooden spoons). I also get nauseated when I smell sawdust.

This problem has been with me since I was 5 and no-one in my family can explain it. It doesn't affect my day to day life as I just avoid wooden objects!

My phobia is being sick, or anyone else being sick! So so scary for me!
I have tried CBT, councilling, hypnotherapy but nothing changes it. Think I'm doomed to be strange forever!

My other one is the noise ice makes. I hate is so much, I cant get anything out the freezer anymore!

Oh, and milipedes and centipedes. HATE them! I know where this one came from though. It was from watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when I was younger and seeing the centipede crawl under her hair in the tunnel! Still cant watch that bit!

Mushrooms. I hate the them. Even writing that made me feel a bit ill!

Other people's feet

Dentists - probably because the anaesthetic doesn't work properly on me and I always remember having 4 teeth taken out by an unsympathetic dentist.

People crunching ice

Worms - They used to make me retch when I was younger if I saw one but I am a little better now.

Tornados - I don't like their unpredictability

Treed

Needles! If i see one on the telly or they get mentioned then i have to cover wrists/inside of arms etc, just incase.

Same here. Don't google the word as they have pictures which make me go :eek::eek:

Ant eggs all clustered together freak me out and the cross section of a twig etc. Funnily enough honeycomb doesn't bother me.

Ant eggs the same as me, in fact anything insecty and eggy and maggots, especially seeing loads of them together.

I can't bear being sick to the point where l need DH with me to hold my hand! I don't like house spiders the way they gallop across the floor and if l see one l've then got the 'willies' and imagine theres another one lurking, waiting to pounce somewhere and can't relax.

God l've got a horrible feeling in my tummy and mouth now, at least it's reassuring to know l'm not alone.
