does anyone have a phobia?

[davidh121]

I'm afraid of a lot of things, but when asked about certain phobias I probably won't classify a lot of them as I think they're common.  Bees are ones I think a lot of people are afraid of due to the potential sting one can get and I definitely fear them too.

My daughter is psychotically afraid of bees!  She goes running if she sees them within fifteen feet of her and shrieks the whole way!  And she has never been stung!  I think that everyone has some sort of fear of something.  I believe in facing your fear.  I used to be afraid of speaking in front of two-three people, especially if I didn't know them.  To conquer this fear I entered a speech contest that ended up having an audience of over five hundred people.  I started talking and kind of blacked out the whole audience to end up winning third place.  I didn't realize that I had a fear of cliff diving and overcame that by jumping!

While I don't think you will have to worry about bees too much anymore -- I hardly saw a bee this summer and there populations are way down and continuing to decline.

Im not to fond of spiders(if i see a spider on my bedroom wall or ceiling i have to remove it from my bedroom before i can go to sleep)

I thought I was the only one who did this. If my sons sees one he will come and get me because he knows mommy can't be comfortable if we do not remove it. I also have Acrophobia, fear of heights it really makes me funny especially if I look down.

I don't know if there is a name for it. I am afraid of bees. I run screaming when I see them.

I have a phobia of guns and people that think FOR any REASON they should/need to carry them.
