How often do you come in contact with eels that you would be terrified of them??haha I eat them every once in a while at my local sushi spot
When I was in Japan I ate at this restaurant and they had eels swimming around in a tank. Whenever someone would order some eel, they would pull one out and chop some of it off and serve it, and then throw the rest of the eel back in the tank. The eels would still be alive, so there were eels swimming in there with half there bodies chopped off!! Basically your worst nightmare
I'm only around them when I go to an aquarium...lol. That's why it's in irrational fear.
Your story just gave me the worst chills!!!! I actually shivered. :eek:
Aw, jeez, I never thought of that, but now it's got me terrified. And I don't even have a ceiling fan. I do have a weird fear though. I have a reverse fear of heights. If I'm standing somewhere high, say a rooftop, and look up at something higher, maybe a taller building or something, it kinda freaks me out, makes my legs buckle.
I get that too. It's really awful, if relatively rare and inconsequential.:p
Also: moths.

Spiders :eek: I don't even mean poisonous one... just spiders at ALL. YUCK. I know some people find them fascinating but they just creep me out.
Also, I am afraid of dying alone and being the crazy cat lady in my neighborhood. I don't actually have any cats right now but you see where I am going :(
I'm afraid of birds...mostly of them dive-bombing. Though, my ex's mom had birds and she used to put them on my shoulders all the time. I didn't want to say anything...you know...because it's my boyfriend's mom. God I hated that.
My mother-in-law is TERRIFIED of birds. I mean, she can't even stand the sight of one. When we go down the shore, she won't eat anything on the boardwalk, because she doesn't want a gull to dive-bomb her...but even just seeing one or two flying above her head sends her into a panic.

OMG! That's one of mine. I'm not really a cat person...but I would have to get a bunch ... like 20+ just so I could be 'that crazy, lonely, cat lady'.

Airplanes, I have a hard time flying. I'll do it with a little help from xanax even though that only helps a little. I probably watched too many plane crash movies!
This might be under the category of TMI but too bad!
I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) so I'm always worried I'm not going to find a bathroom when I need one. Kinda irrational since anxiety actually is often what triggers problems for me—it's the vicious cycle!
So this life is sacrifice...

I'm afraid of heights. Of note, I was never this way until after having had children.
ok thats odd but not the first time I've heard of something like that... having children does weird things to people...

Some quotes about monkeys I found on the internet:
"You can't go wrong with monkeys, whether they're sitting next to you on the sofa, throwing coke cans at the TV, or swinging around on a rope, picking at their groin. Monkeys are great."
"From a distance, monkeys are excellent: they look like little humans, going about their business doing funny stuff. But when you get up close to the monkeys, they're even more excellent!"

Monkey's are damn scary things.... wrinkley skin-ness, course hairy-ness, hand type things for feet!? (what is all that about?!) their hands, picking at their groins (or masturbating when I go to the zoo, why do they always choose to do it when I'm walking past?!) they're just so wrong!!
I hate chimps most *shivers* they scare the hell out of me, can't even look at them and if I see someone holding one I run a mile.
Strangely, I don't have a problem with gorillas.... but don't even get me started on Orangutans....
Granted, it's more of an 'ape' thing, some little monkeys can be cute.... but only from a distance, I wouldn't let one touch me.

You should be flattered by the masturbating, if nothing else.:p
I dunno, I could watch orang-utans for hours. They so funneee. Then again, I also find the word "klaxon" absolutely hilarious, so maybe I'm just easily pleased.:D

Whitecoat syndrome.
P.S. Tell your mom-in-law to call me...we can discuss our mutual fear of dive-bombing birds.
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
