What phobias do you have? - Dennis S - 04-11-2013

The thread about panic attacks below got me to thinking. I guess I'm lucky because the only thing I have that might be considered a phobia is a fear of heights. I can be watching a 30-year-old movie and if if someone is on the top of a building, I get nervous. I had a thread awhile ago about getting stuck on top of the house because I was afraid to take the first step to put my foot on the ladder to climb down. Flying in a plane doesn't bother me, though.

Luckily, I have never been afraid of spiders, snakes, dogs, etc. like a lot of people are.

I may be developing a slight fear of heights. I laughed at a friend while hiking around AZ. I looked over the edge of a drop off and he was PANICKED! He wouldn't get within 20' of the edge, but just seeing me there sent him into a near panic...

But I noticed that while watching a recent Mission Impossible film, Tom Cruise steps out of a window 1000ft off the ground in the world's tallest building and I gasped and paused the film.

I intend to test myself backpacking this year...

Last summer, I learned that a longtime friend was VERY claustrophobic. She couldn't stay in a tent (backpacking) without the door being WIDE open. Even if it was just a bug netting, it would have to stay open. I had no idea...

"I looked over the edge of a drop off and he was PANICKED!"

Yeah. I get just as panicked seeing someone else close to the edge.

Were you able to handle that scene in mission impossible? Does it have to be reality or will a flat screen suffice to generate fear?

I have nothing to fear but fear itself.

I fear that I will catch stupid/genetic-mutation every time I go into a Walmart*, but I would not call it a phobia.

I have been scared watching a cartoon.
