		<description><![CDATA[Do you have any phobias? Submitted by Amirul B Ruslan. I have a highly irrational fear of bugs. Espically anything that could bite or sting me, which means pretty much everything. I also have a fear of heights. Not really being on top of tall buildings, but if you get me near a high ledge&#8230;

<span style="font-size: 0.8em;">Submitted by <a href="http://amirulb.vox.com/">Amirul B Ruslan</a>.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>I have a highly irrational fear of bugs. Espically anything that could bite or sting me, which means pretty much everything.</p>
<p>I also have a fear of heights. Not really being on top of tall buildings, but if you get me near a high ledge&#8230; *shiver*</p>
<p>The only other fear that I can think of is the fear that people are going to think I&#8217;m dumb or don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about. This is&#8230;annoying. For me and most likely other people around me. I know I do it, I&#8217;m the first person to admit it, actually. I tend to take this stuff to an extreme, which can be good and bad. On the good side, I&#8217;m generally pretty informed when I go in to make a purchase. I try to learn as much about what I&#8217;m interested in as humanly possible.</p>
<p>On the downside&#8230;this extends into social interaction. I&#8217;m very apprehensive when doing something I&#8217;ve never done before, especially if it involves talking to somebody. I hate a situation where I&#8217;m not sure what, exactly, is expected of me. So I tend to constantly bug other people I know to figure out what the general procedure for doing certain things are. It&#8217;s completely irrational and I wish I didn&#8217;t do it, but when it comes to those kinds of situations, I really can&#8217;t help it.</p>
<p>I guess I just fear talking to people I don&#8217;t know in general, which makes it a little hard to meet new people&#8230;</p>
