What are you scared of /b/? Phobias, fears, and the irrationality of it all.
I have bathophobia and I have absolutely no idea why. First and only time I went on a boat.
>be me about 11
>going on vacation with family, mom, dad, and older brother to Florida
>planning on boating out to Florida Keys
>superhyped, never been on a boat before, sounds awesome
>get there first day, just peruse gift shops and sleep well for tomorrows hell ride
>drive down not 30 mins from hotel to the harbor
>get suited up in floaty shit and explained all the safety precautions
>all that shit outta the way, time for the main event
>ohboyohboy.jpeg
>get on the boat, little speedboat for 12, and since i'm the yougest i get shown around the cabin by the captain
>spend a good thirty minutes getting shown all the do-dads and whirly-widgets of the boat, step outta the cabin, the salty breeze, and warm air feel incredible
>get over to sit next to my parents, can barely see the shore we came from
>sit next to them then decide to peer over into the water
>dark, all consuming blackness
>nothing but water and depth, no visible reefs, rocks, or fish
>eyes widen, recoil in terror, cant breathe
>freak right the fuck out and have a panic attack right there, get an oxygen tank and mask hooked to my face, completely inconsolable
>we had to drive back and go to the hospital and get a shot to calm me down
I haven't been on a boat since.
Bump
what is bathophobia? I feel you op, i get anxious in big open areas
tl; dr
OP is a giant pussy and should kill himself.
>>671462588
oh god stop
>>671462617
it's a fear of wide open spaces, I have no fear of the ocean or water likeThalassophobia but if i look under the water, into the open depths I can't stand it. It's hard to play Skyrim or Far Cry 3 swimming because if I look down into deeper water, I physically recoil and cringe.
>>671462833
>>671463059
>It's hard to play Skyrim or Far Cry 3 swimming
It goes that far? So you can't see movies like Jaws or Deep Blue Sea, Waterworld?
I have a fear for spiders but in video games I have no problems with them (movies are different though)
>>671463912
I just can't look at deep open areas, plants like this bother me a bit too, but it more so bothers me with ocean and water stuff. Its all murky and unclear whats inside of it.
>>671464120
yeah, this shit right here. and i don't know why. i can swim in a pool, its just murky water bothers me.
>>671464364
>deep open areas
how about space? If you gaze up at night? (deeper and more open is hard to find)
>>671464536
murky water bothers me because I'm not sure what's in it. the same goes with anything that's dark really, except maybe a known area at night, because I can assume it's safe even if i can't see shit; but like a dark cave? fuck that, no idea what's in there.

>>671464795
kek the top two rows bother me the most, fuck that. The polar bear and alligator on the far right second row. ive been spelunking, but with a lot of light and 3 other people
>>671465496
Did you forget an image? What rows are you talking about?
>>671463059
Dude I am terrified of the ocean. When I play the Witcher and there's loot floating in deep open water. I take a deep breath and do it for the loot. Not to mention it's so fucking realistic
>>671465496
but just think about drifting off in space with no way to navigate through just looking at the dark abyss that is space. it scares me thinking about it.
>>671465864
this one, sorry >>671464120
>>671466011
I havent played Witcher but I have honestly considered how deep the water looks and if i can handle it. i mean i cant look up pictures of someone looking down in the water but i can kinda infer how much i would shit my pants.
>>671464120
This. I'm afraid of stuff I cannot see in water. That includes freshwater fish and plants.
>>671461855
Yep. Go out on the ocean in a boat small enough you can reach the water. Look down. If you're not a little freaked out, I don't know what the fuck you're even doing.
Think about that shit. There could be things so big down there that they can swallow our boat goddamn whole and we wouldn't know it until someone got video of a motherfucking boat getting eaten by the Malasian Boat-Eating Waterspider or some shit.
I still go out on the ocean, I adore the water, but if you're not a little bit intimidated on a small boat that can't see shore I question your judgement.
>>671466387
Just letting you know there's a certain mission that you have to dive super deep if you want to.
>>671466375
i had a recurring nightmare for a while when i was getting my drivers license. i would just drive out from my house and somehow take so many wrong turns i wouldn't know where the fuck i was and i would not have my cell phone so i couldnt call for help or directions. it was the exact same dream each time.
I think its the sense of being lost and having no direction that scares me.
I feel like there's cameras in my apartment sometimes.
I wave alot when I'm really buggin out.
I remember on my honeymoon having problems at the room for a day thinking about how it was probably bugged.needless to say the wife wasn't happy
>>671466907
fuuuck
>>671466548
no, no more boats for me. i'm done with that shit.
>>671466387
The Witcher is the best solo game I've every played. I wholeheartedly recommend it. There's very little involving the water and what attacks you underwater is always clearly visible and usually not in deep water. You can use Infinity (3rd party program) to turn on hacks and just speed through the watery parts with your eyes closed without having to worry about dying, however I don't even though I share this fear. I'm afraid of many things in games because I'm a total pussy, especially including cave/dungeon exploration, which is why I quit playing Skyrim, but if there's any game worth getting over your fears for, it's The Witcher 3.
>>671466482
that kind of thinking scares me to.
>>671467794
>God damn supersperm gettin in muh water supply again!
>>671466387
imagine playing stranded deep.
>>671467495
Also to add, I've sunk nearly 100 hours into the Witcher and haven't gotten around to doing any mission involving diving super deep in open water like another anon was talking about. There was one part where I had to five down into a cave NEXT TO open water for the Griffin school Witcher gear but that didn't even bother me.
Here ya go.
>>671468032
most disappointing game ever
>>671466994
i passed out in a bus once, woke up waaay past my stop with an almost dead cellphone. was winter, too.
i shudder to imagine what would have happened if my phone really had been dead.
>>671467495
i probably will play it at some point. the most ive ever freaked out was when an alligator grabbed me in Far Cry 3. I dropped the controller and screamed like a sissy bitch. if it isnt too bad, i'll play it.
>>671468147
It's too early in development to really judge imo. I think they're killing off the potential fanbase by releasing it too early as an early access game. It had potential but will probably never be really popular now.

I can't touch paper without cringing up and tilting my head. Really fucking weird had it since high school, I get weird looks, I tell them I'm cracking my neck but i just can't touch paper. It feels like I'm scratching my fingernails on a chalkboard. Anybody else have this? Newspaper is the worst
>>671468832
The squiddy thing is real. The monster in the back is shooped.
>>671461855
Stuff flying near my head. Insects, small birds etc. I'll take a tarantula on my hand than a bee.
I have pretty good reflexes as well. One time I smacked a small bird out of the air by mistake because it flew right by head. Shit like that has happened a few times to me. I thin I'm more impressed than embarrassed at this point.
I have an irrational fear of spiders, i would scream like a bitch if i see one. Pictures don't freak me out just when there right next to me.

>>671461855
Holy shit so that's what it's called. I have the same thing but it's pretty extreme. I had a friend who owned this 3D Jaws poster and even looking at it bothered me to the point where when I'd visit he'd take it down for me.

I don't really know if this is a fear but i don't like seeing cuts, injuries, basically open wounds at all. it makes me squeamish because when i see things like these, i imagine it happening to me.
>>671471918
I actually haven't even played through the DLC stuff yet because I'm too stupid to figure out how... Any tips to cure my stupidity or am I doomed forever? Also would you mind telling me how or do I have to confess my stupidity to Google too?
>>671472474
you got dominion over a goddamn whale if it decides to hit your boat. fuck that, i dont have control over the water, i hate the idea of being stranded in theocean like some hangin onto the wreckage kinda shit. id rather drown right there, fuck that nigga, fuck that.
>>671472554
i have a cringe-y story about this if anyone wants to hear?
>>671461855
I don't know whats it called but I have a fear of losing my own blood.

I've heard Navy men are told to intentionally breathe in a deep breath while underwater to instantly kill themselves if their boat is sunk with no chance of rescue. I would definitely try this if I was in a scenario like you described. Ain't gonna live no Life of Pi shit drifting around in the ocean.
>>671466387
wow, I didn't know people could be this big of pussies. You can't even just look up a picture? What the fuck m8 it's just a picture
Ive got a fear of unknown water. Its odd though, you would think the Ocean would bother me but it doesn't. My issue is with lakes or ponds and swimming in them. When they are murky and hard to see through. Its mainly a fear of not knowing what is in the water or how deep it is. If I don't know the lake or what have you I WILL NOT go under water. Fuck if I'm getting impaled underwater by a old metal rod or some shit.
>>671461855

>>671474110
or this one?
>>671468187
i got a lost a few times going too far on a bus when i was in high school, i slept on buses a lot
i just kept jumping on random buses going generally the right direction until i found one that said it went to my destination. it helped that there were a lot of bus stations where a hundred buses all stop.
Like many arachnophobia, especially these fuckers down in Florida.
These bastards get fucking huge and they are not shy about making webs anywhere they please. I have reoccurring nightmares of getting surrounding by these garden spiders and many others, all dangling in midair by invisible webs, not moving but just every fucking direction my head turns. I got these when one time I nearly walked into one's web and I didn't see it spooking the ever living shit out of me. I know what it's like to be traumatized.
>>671474110
this one seems easyer to avoid if yout a good swimer
>>671474172
this on could be avoided if your a good climber
but i suck at both and think the ocean one is worse
i'm not op but just answering.
>>671472868
Go on
Im afraid of fat chicks cause one fucked up my foot when she fell on me back in elementary. My foot to this day gets painful spasms whenever i assert on it too much
I have 2 real fears.
My #1 fear is losing my job, becoming broke, and ending up homeless. I don't think I could handle it. Well I KNOW I couldn't handle it. I'm pretty sure I would end up killing myself so I wouldn't end up living that way. I've been laid off before and it once took 6 months to find a decent non-min wage paying job. Luckily my father took me in, which I hated but had to so I didn't end up living on the streets.
Which leads to fear #2, getting old and being alone. I know at some point in my life, I'm going to get to the point where I can just no longer take care of myself without assistance. My parents won't be around forever, and I really doubt my sisters would ever take me in. (We're not on the best of terms.) Then again they're older then me, so they're going to need the extra help first.
Sup /b/. I herd u talkin shit.
>>671469304
Similar thing for me: hard balls like MnMs or pebbles rubbing together. When I squeeze them together so they grind against each other, its a bad feeling. Not scary but uncompfortable. I dont eat MnMs much because of it
Arachnophobe and I die from thoughts of human internal anatomy(not other animals though), surgery, and the like.
>>671468104
can anyone see the giant teeth around it in the cliff face?
>>671466548
As a kid (3-4) i used to play on the shore, and when the wave came in and out the sand would stay solid where my body was but liquid-ish all around it, like with that super fluid effect (starch and water) and shift as if trying to draw me into the water.
I couldnt move out of fear of the sand turning into quicksand and sucking me in.
It was like balancing on a skateboard that would suck me into the ocean if i fell.
I believe this is what started my phobia of the ocean, at least contributed.
then again, maybe the ocean was trying to get back at me.
I remember being told that the ocean got mad if you threw sand at it, and i remember i'd grab a hadfull of sand and throw it and the ocean.
the wave would come back with more force than the times before, and i would kinda taunt it by throwing more sand at it.
afterwards is when the previously mentioned stuff started happening. i really loved the waters.
damn, Oceanus, i was only a child!!
It's not a fear but I always wonder what's at the very bottom of the ocean within its dark depths
>>671474708

for me personally, it's A really weird version of trypanophobia.
Sewing needles? I'm good, but the second you get a syringe near me, i get realllly tense, heart rate goes up, have to look away.
Getting injections n shit sucks.
That said, I've overcome it to the point that I try and give blood whenever I can, I think it helps me.
That im going to wake up one night and see something looming over me that isnt human. Im fucking 30 and this scares the shit out of me.
I have a fear of driving cars. Ever since I got ran off the road by a semi while merging into a freeway, I've had an irrational fear of driving and it had crippled a lot of my social and work life but somehow I've managed to make it work. Not being to just get in your car and drive is the worst thing but I can't help it.

The fuck is scary about being homeless? You got nothing to lose. You can travel the fucking planet see all you wanna see. Sure it takes longer cause you gotta walk but you don't have to be anywhere on time so it doesn't matter. If I were to become homeless id travel the world on foot or stolen bike. Id travel to the South of europe to spain/Portugal or maybe east to Berlin, work for shelter chilling with the hobo's wich are mostly unbelievably nice people and do whatever the fuck I want. Sure it can be harsh sometimes with the winter cold and all but you'd have more freedom than anyone on the entire planet who has a job.
>>671470153
No one gives a shit about the squid. Wtf is in the background??
>>671476165
sleeping outdoors feels terrible when not on intentional.
>>671467273
I'm also terrified of water and shit in water. Most games in water freak me right the fuck out. The Witcher, on the other hand. I had no problems diving into the water in Skellige (where the deep water is). It helps that you 1-shot everything in the water with your crossbow and the only things in the water are Drowners and Sirens, which aren't scary.

Not knowing where you next meal, shit, sleep is going to take place and if you can physically handle the rigors of an urban jungle are real fears and logical fears.
Claustrophobia. Specifically crawling in any small space i may get stuck.
Being in an enclosed space that can allow me to move comfortably is ok. Those cave explorers who cram themselves into gaps only a few inches wide make me ill. Or scuba diving in underwater caves that are super tight?
Fuck. That.

>>671476165
I was homeless at 16-17. Not fun at all. First of all your lonely as fuck. Second you have to watch your back 24/7 from police or whoever. Gauranteed to get robbed. Third your worrying about how you can eat or where you can sleep. Fourth you feel like shit the whole time for being a failure. I can go on and on I don't know what the fuck your talking about
>>671475163
I'm talking more like when I get older, like after my parents pass on. I've unfortunately have lost several decent jobs due to issues beyond my control. Branch suddenly closed down because we weren't making a large enough profit, down sizing, upper management let go of people to get cheaper workers. I try to save when I can because of this. You just never know when crap will happen, and you'll need that emergency money. Of course no steady source of income, and you can't pay your rent, and you lose your home.
As for family, my sisters are really just half sisters. Same mom, different dad. We get a long okay, but we have had our differences in the past, and they are holding grudges about it. Whether or not they'll be stubborn enough to keep these grudges when it comes down to it, only time will tell. Long term health care is nice, but if I'm 60 or 70 or older, and all alone, then what's it even matter. Stuck in some assistant care facility all alone, and with nothing to even look forward to. That's a living hell for me. Honestly, this fear has actually motivated me to go out and find a GF. I have 30 creeping up a lot sooner then I would prefer. I know I'm still young as things go, but I think about how both of my sisters were married by 30, and even my parents had by by 30. Here I am, a year and half shy of 30 and barely proud of what I've done with my life. I have no one but myself to blame for it though.
>>671476323
You don't even have to though. Here in the netherlands shelter costs 3,50 a night if tour homeless. You should be able to easily get that with a cv it of beging dring the day. If you're not a druggie it's doable not saying it's easy but its double.

I live near Los Angeles now. You see homeless people EVERY FUCKING WHERE! Sleeping on the streets in any spot possible. Reak of a smell that just make you want to throw up. Never knowing where or when they are going to eat neck. Sure some of them got some legit problems that lead to this. Most stay on the street because the shelters are even worse. Like what the other person mention. They have nothing to lose and give zero fucks. That makes them even more scary. I just could not live like that.

how did you stop being homeless?
>>671476452
Very good shit. I had a similar let's-sir+down-and-talk-about-masturbation experience with my two best friends who asked me at my house when I was in 6th grade and then convinced me I was not too young. I then tried it but got friction burned because I did it dry while wearing jeans while trying to be silent while my little brother and my mom (my little brother was a pussy that was afraid to sleep alone and my parents wouldn't let me sleep in the spare bedroom in the basement so I had to share a room) were asleep like 2 ft away on a bed that made plastic-rubbing-together sounds every time I moved because my parents decided that since my little brother liked to piss himself in his sleep that I must also so they put a piss pad under our sheets. Never been caught but had some risky faps, and will graduate high school and move out in a few months.
tl;dr, I was told to try jerking off. I did in a sketchy situation and burned muh dick.
>>671476728
Heard it from my English 2 teacher two years ago.
>>671476857
Well I think shit depends on how you handle it. Sure if you're in detroit and homeless and are gonna stay there you will have a shit life. That's why I say i'd go and travel the more you get out from rural area's the safer you'll be with a better chance of finding food (farms you can steal from sheds you can sleep in.)
People outside of the city mostly are far nicer too so chances are higher that you'll be able to work for shelter or at least for food. But yeah being homeless in the big city is fucked up I know that.
>>671476554
I hear you. You seen the movie The Descent? That fucked me the fuck up
>>671475202
this one messed me up watching the movie as a kid. I still cringe at things related to things happening to eyes.
similar fear to OP's except it's being next to or near huge boats at sea that fuck with me.
also have some really stupid GAD fears:
*driving on the highway - stay to the right at all times
*driving in a middle or GASP! left lane makes me feel insecure, similar to feeling vulnerable on both sides
*can't do left lane on a 3-lane highway
*heights
B-but at least I got over agoraphobia. mostly
>>671477467
It seriously sucks, especially when you find a good conversation in one and it just 404s immediately. So frustrating
>>671477621
I worked 50 hours a week while I was homeless I had money just couldn't get a place cuz underage. Got a place a week after 18th birthday. 20 now starting a business next month should be making 200k/yr
>>671474425
This.
After watching final destination when I was like 13, I have feared these things ever since.
>>671473186
Drowning is top 3 most painful ways to die
>>671477755
I already decided how I would kill myself if I became homeless. I would go into some CVS or such, head over to the medicine area, and down as much aspirin or such as possible. It would suck for the store, but being homeless at that point I would have zero fucks to give.
>>671477977
holy fuck, impressed as fuck. Did not realize that underage homelessness was a thing.
Don't you just need to go to a police station and take a piss in front of a cop to get room and board till you are 18?
>>671477629
i'm still in high school and i have a noisy bed.
i almost get cough a lot of times, just today i almost got cough by my mom
whenever shed leave i just go back to it, she came in multiple time for different shit, took me 2 hours to finally cum because my dick is soft by the time she leaves.
Whirlpools
I got this weird fear of becoming immortal.
Op should play subnautica
>>671461855
Don't sweat it,OP. Go out on a boat again.
My first time in an airplane I was near panic the whole time and the sounds of (what I now know were) flaps and landing gear freaked me out.
Now, 10 years later, I have a pilot's license and just got an unlimited low level waiver that will allow me to fly low level aerobatics in 2 airshows this summer.
Don't base your life on initial fears of new experiences.
>>671478367
I'm not even scared of those but watching this my legs felt very weak wtf
>>671462588
Looks like an eye
>>671461855
Hate needles with a passion. Seeing a video of getting stabbed with a fucking needle makes me physically cringe. I don't get flu shots cause I'm a giant pussy.

LIFE
>>671478321
I tried that but they said I have to go home so they forced my mom to let me in and My school was sending my mom tickets like every week for truency. So she let me back in for a bit. She had a countdown on the kitchen whiteboard until the day it was my 18th birthday. She called my jobs and got me fired from one of my jobs. I decided to just leave again, if I went to the police again they would just make me stay with her. So no there wasn't much I could do. My high school knew my situation and basically handed me my diploma without enough credits just to give me more time to work. Went from the worst grades in the school to the most succesful. I should be a millionare within 3 years. I'm going back in there to talk to the kids actually
I also have a fear of being scared. my mom would make me watch scary movies when i was a kid, made me scared of the dark. silent hill was the movie that scared me the most as a kid, had nightmares about it all the time(one time it was a sexual dream with the little girl at the end of the movie...weird). she also took me haunted housing as a kid. don't like going to them now, don't like playing scary games, movies don't bother me that much though.. i guess its when i'm personally put in the situation like my dreams.

Every thread where OP turns out to be a complete idiot and suddenly "runs out of time" gets deleted. This is the same for any thread where anons start agreeing, or doing something productive. A pattern emerges where any thread butthurting a useless poster...tumblarinas, shills, children, is removed. The logical conclusion is that there IS no moderation but any thread with enough reports disappears. (Ever notice in real life when you piss a dweeb off their first move is to nark?). So many people stopped saying /b/ was shit and just left...maybe its because shit is at the wheel.
That feeling you get in your stomach when you are falling, i fucking dread that feeling
>>671478339
I know exactly how that goes. My mom will come in and grab laundry (because she won't let me use the fucking washing machine so I don't have to do my laundry but I also don't get to have clean clothes all that often either) and then say something to me and then linger in the door staring at me and then leave it cracked "so air can flow", then come back in two or three minutes later to add some unimportant shit when it's obvious she just wants me to never fap so she waits until she's suspicious of me doing it to walk in and do this shit. My dad is actually convinced I'm somehow running up the AC bill by always having my door closed but I only keep it closed because I prefer 80 degrees (F) and my family prefers 68 degrees in the house, and keeping the door closed keeps the AC from coming in because the air vent in my room is broken. So literally everyone in my family refuses to allow my door to remain closed and I spend all day wrapped up in two layers of clothes plus blankets.
>>671461855
ive got trypophobia which is a fear of unnatural holes.
im also afraid of deep water and things like dark rooms. it gets so bad I sleep with a blanket over my head so something separates me from the empty space.
I also have a fear of intruders and loud noises, but maybe I just have anxiety or something
also surgery
>>671463059
You should play Subnautica
>>671478164
I imagine it wouldn't be so bad if it was instant, as I was told is possible.
>>671479425
You dick
>>671476857
Pretty much this, i was homeless to at age of 20 to 22 and again 24 to 26.
Drinkin was pretty much only way to make life deacent. Funny thing was that i havent alcohol problem before ive got homeless.
Now thinkin buying a boat so id have allways some place to crash cos these fucking housing problems messing my head
>>671479598
I enjoy it and it still creeps me out when I end up at a cliff looking into the black....
>>671479970
the black of his dick?
this was a good thread, goodnight /b/
>>671461855
So if you float on water facing the sky and you imagine that you are floating in the ocean, do you start to freak out?
>>671479970
No doubt, its a great game, but still a dick move lol
>>671461855
I'm more scared of what's under the water. But even if there was no sharks or anything the ocean could be scary. Well I definitely get sweaty hands around heights, but that's natural I think to not wanna be where you can fall. Bad thing is if I ever have to hold on for my life or fall to my death those sweaty palms won't do me any favors
>>671461855
I understand looking into deep water. One of the more rational fears, like skydiving. The door opens, you hook your legs over, look down on 20,000 feet of empty air. Different, but the same.
What am I honestly scared of? Death, pain, failure. Being alone. The usual.
>>671476554
I remember an episode of dirty jobs when he was working as a bridge maintenance worker. He had to crawl inside the structure and it looked cramped and tight as fuck, i swear someone of my size would get stuck in there

Student pilot here, lol. Felt that same fear from takeoff to landing the first few flights, mostly the sheer amount of input you have to deal with. Are you in it for the job, or just the experience?

They freak me the fuck out. I have (and still) considered persuing entomology as a career, but these fuckers just scare the shit out of me.

when I hear airplanes or helicopters flying above my house. I think they're going to crash on my house and I will die a firey death
>>671462588
Black hole?
>>671471488
ayy lmao
>>671479358
The air vent in your room is broken. You realize they aren't that expensive? I mean, I know your family is being unreasonable. If they won't pay for it, it doesn't cost much to replace, though. Measure it, go to your local home improvement store, and replace it. Could resolve a lot of hostility.
Also, refuse to be walked on. Taking responsibility sucks but is easy. As long as you're taking it from someone else, they can't complain about the corresponding rights you're gaining. That's how it works.
I'm afraid of blood extractions, with those big, thick syringes they use to pierce through arteries, but not afraight of vaccines or shit
>mfw syringes nowadays are super small and barely hurt
Other than that, I used to be afr8 of planes until I got inside one and kinda learned to not thing about bad shit that could happen so I don't get a panic attack lel

>>671461855
Got a paralyzing (how ironic) fear
>immobility
>enclosed spaces
>underwater structures, mostly man-made but natural as well
Also sperglord so I'm generally afraid of everything.
I hate watching ice melt. I hate looking at flowers in a vase. I have a garden, and pulling weeds gets to me. Death bothers me. Pain bothers me. A lot of life seems to be bound up in those things, and I don't understand it.
>>671482276
IRL, I've jumped out of a plane a few times. Never had that particular nightmare since. Falling UP, though? I've had that one every now and again.
>>671461855
you have every reason to be scared

I get really sentimental about that kind of thing too, anon. Even inanimate objects. I sometimes feel regret for the hair that gets snipped off during a trim.

Almost as if you unintentionally overreact to the instinctive realization of the hurt caused by falling down from such a tall structure. Most people need to look down, first.
