I only have 2 fears/phobias. 1. I really, really don't like needles (Trypanophobia) even though I've had to deal with it at certain times in my life. As a child I had to be physically restrained before they could give me the shot but, as an adult, as long as I know that it's coming and I look at a wall or something nowhere near that needle I'm OK, usually sweating profusely, but OK.
2. I didn't see it on the list but, I have a fear of most dead bodies (for some reason that I can't explain, cut up clean food i.e steaks, chicken, etc doesn't bother me) It really trips my kids out because they see me as this big strong man but let a fish, gerbil, dog become a corpse. I go from big strong man to pleading "how much do I have to pay you to go dump that in a dumpster?" The kids know that they can get at least $20 outta me. It's bad enough that the few times that I go to funerals, I get away from the corpse ASAP while still showing my respects (this included my late Mother!)
mlc0908, I'm with you on "don't play with my fears!!" I will try to contain myself the best way that I know how but if you try to touch me with a needle or even a dead body even an uncleaned fish, there are going to be 2 people that are very sorry who will promise to never do that again!!
