What do you have a phobia of?

Some have the fear of the number 666. It's called Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia and stems from its association with the 'Number of the Beast' in the Book of Revelation.

Try saying it three times to be cured.

Try saying that with the drunchies!

I developed a fear of packed, enclosed places, such as trains and buses. I've always hated confined spaces so I accepted being claustrophobic a long time ago but this overwhelming feeling of needing my own space when places got crowded started about 5 or 6 years ago.
It's led to me getting off a train in the middle of nowhere and leaving the Natural History Museum after about half an hour and I won't even get on a train if I see people standing.

@mossyboots I've always hated the thought of being locked in a confined space but never felt claustrophobic on trains etc until 2019ish, I was on my way to Swansea for football and the train was rammed, more were getting on a Pontypool so I got off, no idea how I got off because it was so packed but I was suddenly on my own on the platform, mates ringing me to ask what was going on.It was just a relief to be off the train. I nearly did similar on a bus between Warminster and Bath but managed to stay calm.
The fear of lifts is understandable and I can imagine the feeling of a car wash. Fingers crossed I never need a CT scan!

@RodneyTrotter1 CT scans aren't that bad - it's having an MRI. I kept glancing down at my feet to see the outside but was only in fifteen minutes. The women spoke to me through the headphones and so blocked out a lot of the noise.

@mossyboots That doesn't sound too bad then 😊

I have a fear of needles. Not for a vaccine type injection but rather any needle that's put into a vein, like for drawing blood or for IV's. I don't know why, but they really hurt me a lot.

I also do not like crowds of people in enclosed spaces. I have no problem with crowded elevators and such, but I have a problem with crowds like on an flight. I also don't like flying.

@IM5688 I'm not afraid of needles, thankfully. But I hate it when they cannot find a vein and keep tapping and prodding around. I ended very bruised once when the nurse kept moving the needle around under the skin one time.

I once bought a few items in a drug store, and the total came to $13.34, including tax.

I gave the cashier a $20 bill, she entered it, and then did a wide-eyed double take when the cash register indicated that my change due was $6.66.

I smiled and said, "Not to worry; I'm not the beast."

There was a kid in my ‘hood growing up who wore a soccer shirt with number 666. And the name - you got it…Damien

I don't like being looked at is one. My line number is 6669, a guy working at a hardware store years ago was taken aback by it one day, visibly shaken that I had such an evil phone number 🙂

Santa, clowns, bananas, feet, heights, tight spaces, being abandoned
mossyboots · 51-55, F
@TheRealBarbossa @TheRealBarbossa I never found clowns funny as kid. I must have been odd 😂 but all the slapstick just didn't make me laugh.
