my main, silly-type irrational phobias I like to just call the "Three 'S*' [with an asterisk]"
- Snakes
- Sharks
***- Spiders ... even though spiders are arachnids and therefore technically not considered bugs, I am afraid of
all bugs/insects/arachnids .... I don't like 'em! Even butterflies and lightning bugs. I think they are pretty to look at, but I freak out anytime someone tries to get me to go into those butterfly enclosures at the zoos.
I think sharks probably affect me the most since I freeze and am essentially petrified anytime I see them even just in aquariums [spoili][kinda sucks since I live on an island that has seen a far amount of shark activity
-squints at scary movies- ][/spoili]
I have a whole little policy though with the spider and snake portion of my fears that, as long as they don't come inside or get too close to an entryway, I won't find a way to squish or get rid of them [I only have garter snakes where I live ... maybe a corn snake or boa if it managed to get away from an owner, but all in all snakes are really rare] ... this policy hold up most of the time. Unless you are a mosquito, there is no truce, only war with mosquitoes ... sorry
Pleakley.
I have tons of fears ... but those have been the fears that I always just say when people ask ... so it just seemed appropriate :P [aka I'm a huge scaredy mouse]
