• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Weird Phobias?

I wouldn't necessarily call it weird, but I posted so, and others did too

*High-five*
 
I'm afraid of falling/heights, calling strangers/customer service people on the phone (I might screw up or something!), and the dangers of time travel (I might accidentally erase me and my family, might make a confusing timeline split, change too many important things, something like what happened in that movie The Butterfly Effect...)

I'm not afraid of any spiders or bugs or snakes unless they try to bite me or explicitly try to harm me (even then, I'll just try to toss them off me or squish them if needed). In fact, I find those kind of things kind of interesting.

(And I used to be afraid of wallmasters (those hands that come out of the wall and drag you back to the beginning of a dungeon/temple in the Zelda games.).)

I used to be emetaphobic but I'm pretty much over it. I don't know though I haven't been in the presence of someone vomiting in a long time... but yeah, people say emetaphobia is wierd but it's suprisingly common.

I think there can be a phobia of anything. Think of it and someone out there has probably had a phobia of it.

Err... I don't know if you're saying that emetaphobia is fear of snakes, but I read a book that said ophidiphobia was fear of snakes.

I might just be really shy, but I think I have anthropophobia, fear of people.
 
I hate looking at people's faces on magazines- or even having my hand contact the photos. In the shower/bathroom, my parents leave a lot of magazines. Every time I enter, I HAVE to turn them over so I don't see the faces. Same in my room, on my desk. It's less severe for cartoon faces- but even so I feel awkward in my own bedroom due to the occasional poster.
