    Default Ridiculous Phobias...

    Is there a name for a phobia of people knocking on doors? I have the freaking WORST fear of someone knocking on my door. If I hear even a slight noise outside I run to the peephole to make sure no one is going to knock on my door. I seriously run to my peephole like 60 times a day. If someone knocks on someone's door on TV I start having a mini-anxiety attack, and running around and looking out the peephole.

    If I order pizza, I spend the entire hour waiting outside so that when the pizza guy gets there he won't knock on the door. If I should happen to miss him and he knocks on the door, I run and hide in my locked bedroom and have a panic attack and then slowly creep to the door and stare out the peephole and then finally open it.

    If I should wake up to someone knocking on my door, then its fifty times worse. The other day my friend stopped by to wake me up and take me to breakfast - She knocked for 20 minutes - the whole time I had grabbed Gabby, ran to my room, locked the door, and for some reason stared under the crack of the bedroom door into the hallway....I only opened it when she called me and told me she was outside...and even then I stared out the peephole for 10 minutes at her....

    WTF is that about?

    I'm going crazy.

    Please tell me ya'll are crazy too and panic over something really dumb?

    wow-I do the same thing when I order pizza/chinese food. I peek out the window the entire time with my money ready!

    I fear talking on the phone sometimes. My CC is still sitting in my wallet and I havent called and set it up yet. its been over 90 days so I have to throw it away and get another one(according to the sticker..)

    Those arent so weird though I guess. My "weird one" is my fear of birds...oh god...I hate those evil things..They make those noises and they just look like they are always doing something evil. little beady eyes looking @ me is the worst. I dodge them in parking lots allllll the time!


    I also fear Gravity...I have panic attacks over it.

    Haha. I used to have weird feelings toward gravity. Not so much a *fear* of it, per say, but an extreme confusion and feeling of powerlessness over it.

    Many people are claustrophobic...I am the opposite. I fear open spaces, open doors..I woudl feel the safest if I slept in a small closet with the door shut. I loved my canopy bed thatI draped thick curtains over. I like to sleep smushed in between several blankets so I'm all snuggled down in the bottom.
    I have to be able to see every part of the room...I can never sleep on couches cause living rooms are way to open.

    Im kind of like that.

    I can NOT sleep with the door open. It freaks me out hard core. Also I have a hard time sleeping without blankets... I need to be wrapped up tight with them.

    At the same time though I hate closed spaces.

    Yea I need to have the bedroom door shut but I have to have a window open... if I can't open a window I feel shut in and have a panic attack.

    MY MOM TOLD ME THAT TOO!!!

    Haha.

    I used to HAVE to sleep with the door closed. Not just the bedroom door but EVERY door in the house had to be shut....but now that I have Gabby I've learned to make do with leaving them open a small crack so she can come and go. It still bugs me though.

    I have phone anxiety too.

    I also have a severe fear of razor blades. I once passed out in biology because I saw one and from then on anytime we had dissections the teacher would put paper towels over all of them. *shivers*

    Reminds me ;

    My friend was scared of sleeping in the dark,and sleeping alone.She visited some doctor who used NLP(neuro ..something ) and after 30 minutes , she was fine.Now she can sleep in the darkk,and she loves to sleep alone.
    She also sent me video from youtube,where this guy who is scared of snakes,uses NLP,it's a tv show in AUS,and after the break he has a python around him.I try to find the link.

    WHAT IS NLP????

    I think sponges are freaky. I don't like to be near them at all. If i have to wash dishes i always use a scrubby brush. And i put dishes in front and on top of sponges so i don't have to see them. And if my SO is washing i ask him to wash off the dishes that have been touched by a sponge.

    Oh God this is strange but I think it is due to how they are shown on TV but little people. If I see a little person I panic, this is what I hate, it's wrong! I just can not help it. I don't wish harm or anything I just get all panic like.

    I have a total fear of shrimp, crayfish, stuff like that. Really MOST seafood, but shrimp, even if it's alive. And those rotating doors. *shudder*

    Can you get a doorbell with a less intrusive ring maybe?
