I Must Confess... My Fears and Phobias

Posted on the 18 February 2013 by Taveren37 @mjgraham

Really, do I have to....?    Well if I must.

I have many fears, but two, I could class as phobias. Both are very irrational and will probably make you giggle to yourself.Fear of Moths (Mottephobia) – I can’t stand the way they flutter about. If one is in the room I cannot relax. I am worried that they are going to get into my mouth, nose or eyes. They seem to come straight at me and it makes me scream.Fear of Clowns (Coulrophobia) – Just the thought of them makes me shiver. The fact that they are hiding behind this garish, grotesque makeup, usually with a false, exaggerated smile. Ergh! I can hardly bear to write about them. Hate them.

I Must Confess... My Fears and Phobias

Couldn't bear to put a clown, so here is a Clown Fish!


Fears, I have a few of those. Let’s just face it, I am like an exposed nerve ending.

Fear of man – I have this inferiority complex when it comes to people. I am socially awkward and far too self conscious for my own good.Fear of crowds – I get breathless, upset and feel like curling up in a ball on the ground, when I am made to go into a crowded confined area.Fear of displeasing or disappointing people – I really don’t like this about myself, but I am such a ‘yes’ person. I will try to please everybody all the time. And to tell you the truth it is very tiring.Fear of failure – I hate to fail. I am a perfectionist. I would rather not do something than do it badly or only half do it.I could go on, but I think that may be enough. I have put myself a long way out of my comfort zone. I'm not that good at sharing deep things with others, but I am trying to give of myself a little more.

I would love, love, love you to comment. Please let me know that I am not all alone out here.

Linking up with the wonderful Kirsty from My Home Truths.
