Joshua_Ritter I get that sometimes. I practice with a... What do you call them now? It's a bamboo practice sword, don't remember the fancy japanese for it. The bamboo ones are called shinnai.

DrasBrisingr And your phobia of sticky things is almost as strange as (if not moreso than) my phobia of lotion. As a black girl, I'm afraid of being ashy, so we balance out. blunt.object but by far my strangest phobia is sticky things. i cannot handle stickers, tape, anything like that. WET sticky things are even worse. I've been afraid of them as long as i can remember. Although I do have a huge gooey complex that seems similar to this. That means no being near folks spitting or eating things like jello, pudding or yogurt. Sends me right into the red-I wouldn't be able to eat for hours.

Haha, that's good. I wouldn't want to throw off the cosmic balance of the universe by hating lotion. You've saved me! ...And the universe!

I have a lot of fears:
hallucinations and going crazy (have the same problem as DrasBrisingr when I'm driving)
physical pain, especially harm caused by fire (that's a different story though)
snakes
spides, though I can get over this enough to stomp on them.
drowning (very odd, as I'm a water sign)
Being in an uncontrolled situation, or being disoriented

I also fear failure. That, as well as the fear of disillusionment. To know that some things in life were in fact impossible [or just for me, even] would shatter my entire way.

Andiela I was horribly afraid of spiders...so the universe decided to give them to me as a not only a totem but also as a trigger to "Listen up! The Universe is trying to tell you something!" So, obviously...we had to come to some sort of truce before I jumped right out of my skin. Try reading Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Even I can't help liking spiders a bit after that one. Mr. Nancy rocks. Although usually, as I recall, spiders and other insects cannot be guardians.... Maybe it depends on what tradition you're following, since obviously in African lore (and Native American as well) Spider is a pretty big deal. Enlighten me on that one, if you would be so kind. As an added bonus, I seem to have an odd fear of success. I don't think it qualifies as phobia-level, though. Just one of my more annoying quirks. I'm working on it.

I am afraid of:
Too much light,
Not enough light,
Myself,
Going insane, in particular no longer being able to seperate my dreams and fantasies from the waking world. So I guess it would be losing contact with the world that everyone else is in, and living in my own.
I am terrified that one day I'll wake up in my bed, or in a cell, and learn that what I thought was my life was just an elaborate fantasy. Or to have a moment of clarity and realise I have korsakov's syndrome, thus my life is a fabrication of my own mind created because I have lost touch with reality.

Khalida Nyoka I am afraid of: ... Going insane, in particular no longer being able to seperate my dreams and fantasies from the waking world.... If that means one is insane, then s**t, I go through phases of that regularly. In fact, I think I'm in one of those phases now...I mean...not like, I don't know when I'm dreaming, and when I'm awake, or that I confuse the two, but I can't remember whether I dreamed something, or if it actually happened. Which makes for very confusing conversation...at times.

Yeah, but I go through periods where it's really bad. Oh well, I'm inches from insanity anyway. I guess I might as well be one inch closer.

Khalida, the fact that you even belong to this forum probably means someone could make a case that you are batshit ******** loco. For any belief relating to magic, supernatural entities, or even God (or gods, your preference), the term "schizotypal" can be applied in cold blood.
Just don't forget to not mention any of those beliefs to your shrink, and you're good to go.
