Dak: How the hell do you know so much about Maury?

I catch an episode every once in a while on campus. I think I detailed an episode of Jerry Springer I saw once in a thread here. The shows are all the same. Set up a premise, fake sympathy, and cross a line. I don't believe anybody could be stupid enough to fall for it, and I hope to god I'm correct.

Re: Bizarre Phobias

The second video had a hot audience, though, it's so fake it's stupid. If you're a sorry sack of a person who's afraid of arbitrary objects you're not going to let Maury exploit it for kicks. You'd HAVE to know he's going to pull something on you, and knowing that you'd never agree to show up.

They come on the show. Maury brings out their fear and sees if they can face it. If it's too overwhelming, he sends them away. He gets someone to help them. At the end of the show, they bring out the things that fears them to see if they've gotten over their phobia. If you watch the show, you'd know this. I sure as hell do.

Fear of being wrong. You should be scared now.

Re: Bizarre Phobias

The crazy thing about phobias is that you're not going to go somewhere where you think it might come up, and you'd have difficulty talking about it.

It's the main way to conquer it. You'd talk first, then face it and try to bear with it being around your area.

Re: Bizarre Phobias

I don't have anything I would class as a phobia and a bunch of things scare me a lot but for weird fears.

Earwigs, I still don't like these. Someone told me when I was a kid that they were called earwigs because they crawled in your ears, ate your brain and you dropped dead when they came our the other side. This was responsible for me not being able to fall asleep without my hair covering my ears for a very very long time.

I have a long term medical problem and one of the pills they gave me for it a while ago made me hallucinate quite badly. Before they wore off I remember spending a whole afternoon on my own, huddled up in one corner of my room terrified that my exercise ball (think giant beach ball) was going to kill me even though I knew I was being completely irrational.

My monster system as a kid was probably quite.... advanced but one of the things I believed is that every night one of two monsters who looked exactly the same would visit me. One would kill you if you were awake and the other would kill you if you were asleep and you had no way of knowing which would come. The way to stop them killing you was to get exactly half way between being awake and being asleep because then neither would be able to detect you. Those monsters used to scare the crap out of me.

Re: Bizarre Phobias

It's not really a phobia, but I hate thunder. And Lightning. It wasn't ALWAYS like that but after a while I just started to not like it. Every now and then I'd get really scared of it though.

I also strongly dislike sharp objects (excluding swords and whatnot, those are like, AWESOME :D :D :D), which makes washing dishes a nightmare. ._.

Re: Bizarre Phobias

I don't think many people here are actually suffering from phobias.

I don't know about you, but when the fear is crippling to the point of anxiety attack, almost paralyzing fear, and sometimes random twitching I think that classifies as a pretty bad fear.

Aliens scare Tel bad. ;_;

That's the *only* thing that even gets close to that level of fear for me. Everything else is just a plain fear, or a faint dread.

And I do have difficulty talking about it. Typing that long original post last night had me looking over my shoulders every three seconds because I could SWEAR I felt something watching me. I also kept seeing shit move when I finally went to bed. x-x; Talking about them 'in the real world' say, vocally, is even harder for me. If I talk about them during work and I close that night, I'm scared to death going home. The anxiety lasts for about a day, then seems to fade off.

Not a phobia? Maybe not. But it's scary. *cries*

I've tried to 'force myself' to conquer it by staring at 'pictures' or sketches and all I succeed in doing is giving myself nightmares and sleeping with the light on. :/
