Curious...do you have a phobia?!

I was mentioning this to a friend the other day...

Mine would be heights...don't do escalators or steep and long stairs because I'm afraid of falling backward. I would never be able to drive up a long and winding mountain road...no way!!

I'm petrified of driving over long bridges. Last summer we went up to the Big Mac Bridge...Sis. Barb thought she could it. Oh my...I prayed...I cried and told the toll booth sister I would need help driving back. The next day when we were ready to cross back to the other side, I thought I could be brave and do it until I saw the sign which read "High winds"...no way!! I tipped the man $5 and would have given him more if I'd had change!!

Anyone else care to share?!

I don't, but my daughter has a weird one.

She can't stand to see a lot of holes together. Example is a bowl of macaroni with all the ends (holes) exposed or traveling behind an 18-wheeler with pipes stacked as the cargo and all the ends of the pipes facing out (holes).

Hole-y fearful.

I will not climb a ladder. I love flying in planes. *shrugs*

I dunno if it's a phobia, but I hate interaction with the public. When I walk into the market I look away from the crowd immediately. I used to think that everyone was judging me.
Don't know and really don't care if they are judging me now... but I still hate public settings.

- Making/receiving phone calls!

Symptoms: rapid pulse & heartbeat, sweating, cold/shaking hands, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, stomach cramps.

UNLESS the call is from or to my husband, children, mom, one (of three) of my sisters, or one (of several) of my aunts.

- Heights (but I *LOVE* ANY roller coaster!).

- And I'm claustrophobic, big time!
