That was so tiring to post hahaha

Hope u guys can find your fear there...
If you can't then perhaps we need to go to top 500 list of fears

With Love,
LIFE

Yea he is wise beyond his years..

Actually it took me several years before I could climb a ladder, or even get within any distance to the edge of a cliff...

I still keep my distance as far as being on a mountain ect.. And normally have my hand on something I can hold onto...

Even climbing the ladder to get on the roof I have a knot in the the pit of my stomach.. it is such a relief to get to the ground..

I got the joke right away, but that's probably because I was raised by a very pun-oriented English Major father.

Minor note: actual fear of "widths," as opposed to heights, is on the list of top ten already, amusingly enough: agoraphobia.

Although there's a lot of things that creep me out, or give me pause, I'm not sure if any qualify as full on phobias. Just my opinion, but I think that to qualify as a true phobia, the fear has to be irrational, and has to drive the sufferer into actions to avoid it which are irrational as well.

So to me, the fact that I wont go right to the edge of an unfamiliar cliff isn't a phobia. It's a knowledge-based recognition that a puff of wind could result in my death, or that the cliff might not be as solid as I require. I have to deal with lots of unfamiliar, and potentially dangerous situations almost every day (I travel around fixing machines, and it's amazing how many customers assume service reps are paid to be daredevils), and I deal with each one cautiously. I don't panic, so I don't think that qualifies as a phobia.

I wont tolerate bugs of any kind in my house, but I don't panic when I find them. Sure, I will jump in fright if I discover one when I least expect it (such as turning a page in a book I've been reading for an hour, and finding a spider sleeping between the pages), but I don't loose my mind.

I don't get the trypophobia thing, so I guess I don't have that either. Pictures of people with horrible wounds are gross, but I don't feel any fear looking at them.

I think I might have fartophobia.

Sir Igor, u must remember, this is a Fear & Phobia topic

Not only phobias but also fears, no matter how minute it may seem to be. it is still a fear.
