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… *shiver*

The only other fear that I can think of is the fear that people are going to think I’m dumb or don’t know what I’m talking about. This is…annoying. For me and most likely other people around me. I know I do it, I’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’m generally pretty informed when I go in to make a purchase. I try to learn as much about what I’m interested in as humanly possible.

On the downside…this extends into social interaction. I’m very apprehensive when doing something I’ve never done before, especially if it involves talking to somebody. I hate a situation where I’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’s completely irrational and I wish I didn’t do it, but when it comes to those kinds of situations, I really can’t help it.

I guess I just fear talking to people I don’t know in general, which makes it a little hard to meet new people…
