Fears & Phobias

[Cerulean]

Hair, especially long hair. Nightmares about it touching back of my hands or face or neck.

Curly hair brings me out in a cold sweat.
Think I'm the only one out there with that strange one!

I don't think I have a fear of it, but I definitely have a strange fixation on it and an intense desire to not have it on my face or neck because of sensory issues. I've always wanted to be able to have long hair but it creeps me out too much.

Spiders, any other insect that can sting me.

At the moment..I am frightened by insects. I moved to this house recently and it is filled with spiders of ALL sizes what sucks most is that I am also afraid to kill them :sticky_mad: I literally make my husband kill them for me or if I MUST kill them, I wear a very long glove up to my elbows and grab a lot of tissue to kill them. My husband can't understand why I am so scared of them, but I honestly cannot help it. I have this fear and I cannot get over it.

I have quite a few fears:

• Fire Alarms or any loud, unexpected sound
• Bees and wasps, even if they don't sting
• Talking to people over telephones
• Public speaking
• The doctor's (out of fear of needles)
• The dentists (out of fear of discomfort)
• Ordering food

I also used to have really bad emetophobia. It's gotten less severe over time, but if I had to be around someone throwing up with stomach flu or had to travel by plane or boat I'd be very afraid. It's also the reason I don't drink alcohol and refuse to become pregnant, although I have other, more rational reasons to avoid those things. And yet people think *I'm* peculiar when I try not to chuckle at someone's fear of clowns (all clowns, not just evil ones like Pennywise) or not feel offended by their fear of cats.
