I used to be afraid of wasps, heights, and messing with ANYTHING that could possible harm you. My mom really did a number on me when i was a kid. She taught me to be afraid of EVERYTHING.

every stranger was gonna molest me.
every electric cord was gonna zap me.
every dog was gonna bite me.
every flame was gonna burn me.
I would fall from every height.
I would drown if i went into too deep of water.
I would ALWAYS land on my neck if i dove into a pool.

that sort of s**te. But now I don't fear any of this stuff. I still steer clear of angry wasps though. Not being afraid is not the same as stupidity.

? quoting Crapceeper
I had this fear as well. My Master says: "Pain is your friend". And as the years went by, this fear of pain ... wel it didn't disappear; but it grew small.

I guess it takes just time. I realised that pain is one way of how the body speaks to you. It really helps to listen what he wants to tell.

Another good way to get over pain is to get hurt ALOT. I used to be pretty afraid of pain. But if you don't get hurt very often, it's really a fear of the unknown, once you've hurt yourself in just about every imaginable way, the fear really starts to go away. What doesn't kill you might not make you stronger but it definetely makes you a bit less afraid of what hurt you.

The exception to this is traumatic experiences that create phobias... but those might just be good for me. My bod's way of saying "DON'T YOU REMEMBER LAST TIME YOU STUPID f**k!".

So I guess the real line should be: What doesn't even come close to killing you but still hurts a bit will make you less afraid, what almost kills you will teach you to stay away. I think it has a nice ring to it.

You too. That's amasing. The pain of braces felt like artificial. Really strange, unusual.


This line of yours im.thatoneguy nails it kinda down.
Sorry, I'm way too tired to write some more. Gotta leave for tonight....

Haha I hated the pain of eating after getting my braces tightened, because that was a sharp shooting pain that got in the way of me enjoying a meal. But I really didn't mind the slow throbbing in the gums when I was just sitting around after I'd had the braces tightened. Weeeiiiird.

Semms like everybody is somewhat a ....masochist. I always confuse it with sadist....



Hold on:

Masochist says to sadist: "Beat me"
Sadist says to masochist: "No"

Lol.. I'm not THAT afraid of pain. Just I am afraid of huge pain. I don't know, though, how much a wasp attack would hurt, but once in childhood it shot me right into my foot :S It was VERY excruciating pain... I can't remember it well (heck... I was only 2 or 3), but the thing is.. it was like a yell over the whole village when I got it.
I have almost broken a finger and that hurt aswell. A lot.

You know, they say even 10% of the pain woman feels when having a birth is more than any man would ever have carry. Perhaps if you could let a horse shack its ... in your ass, then you'd get it... (can't tell, never tried and believe me - i don't even want to).

Same here. I remember walking home from looking for my sister's pet iguana, and a thunder storm came up. I was fine until ligthning stuck the ground like 20 feet away from me. I lost it and ran down the road as fast as I could, sceaming my head off. Sence then, I guess I'm a little more afraid of thunder storms now.

Until Later...

You could have gotten killed doing that you know. You shoud have hit the dirt.

As for the badly designed poll thing, a poll can't hold too many options and I thought those were the most common phobias. The joke's on me I guess. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I guess what I truly fear the most is intimacy.

Your first intimacy experiences were bad? Understandable, if that's the case, though.
I can't tell just by looking at you <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> But if I had to guess, I'd tell you have been sexually abused once in your life. That's really not my problem, I know, instead it would be serious, even too serious subject to actually discuss so forget I said anything.

Depends how small. I don't like being locked in lockers, but don't mind lifts or cupboards etc unless I know they are blocked- but I'm sure most people are the same.

small spaces arn't bad, unless you know your locked in. I fear being in a small box or something and getting a cramp and not being able to move! ouch

Being trapped in a tight submerged box without any air... my worst nightmare, TBH.

That's not a clinical fear though. That's a very sound understanding of how asphyxiation works. The key to something being classified as a "fear" is a high degree of irrationality in the reasoning.
