Just out of curiousity

What other fears does everyone have, if any?


Besides my emet, I also have moderate social phobia and a fear of other people choking (I don't know if there is a name for that one and I wonder if it is emet-related).

[pretty polly]

Mainly social phobia but like you said its mainly emet related. Its got
so bad of late, i literally worry about leaving the house. Of course, I
do, to take my daughter to school and go to work but i have never
been more worried than I am presently.
No other phobias i don't think.

yeah, emet related social phobia...nothing else obsesses me quite as much.

My hubby cheating on me. It's an actual fear that I have.

[spilled_milk]

I don't have another actual phobia, just small fears...swallowing pills, putting anything into my body (all those are probably emet related) and then i cry and scream and fight the nurses when they try to give me shots. my dad had that fear when he was my age, so i think that that's just genetic.

I have a social phobia, I've never really related it to my emet though. I
mostly fear large groups of people, like at concerts or sporting events.
I almost get claustraphobic. Which makes me feel n*. So maybe it is
sort of emet related. Never thought of it like that. Huh.

social phobia for sure. I am suppose to go to a Cadet meeting for my son and I dont want to go, his father is going instead.
I don't like crowds at all, I dont go to sporting events etc. Any crowded places.
I would love to go on a trip like Florida but can't. I did that once and although it was fun the drive back was hell

I think that my social phobia isn't really that I don't like social events...it is all EMET related. You know that feel when you are with 1000's of people at a sporting event, someone will V*. I skip those events. You know that at parties with 100's of people, someone has been ill or could be ill and is there anyway, touching hands etc. You know that when you are with a smaller group, it is also possible that someone is sick or has been or has a kid at home that is etc. I do like people and being with them, but I admit that I am not a touchy feely person nor do I go without my GERMX and I still get nervous about these types of events. So, I guess EMET is an enormous phobia that controld a lot of aspects of our lives however, I try to get past it and go on and then I worry later.

It's not really a phobia, but I'm scared of people betraying me. I have a hard time trusting people.


Doctors, blood, hospitals, needles, pap exams, doctors touching my neck, and stuff like that make me uneasy but I can deal with them. [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]

Lots of small fear, heights, bugs, swallowing pill like Anya. ^^ but I also have Social anxiety. Really interfares with school..since I sometimes can't do a presentation without having a panic attack where I hyperventilate so much I feel like fainting.
