Touching door handles in public restrooms, sometimes I will wait for someone to come in or I will use my shirt sleave, if no towels are available.

I am absolutely freaky about things not touching my neck, even a turtle neck. It's beginning to make me think that I was hung in a past life.

I am afraid of christians. I am personally not christian, but many christians seem to go crazy and try to convert you if you are not one of them. I'm scared one will take things too far and sacrifice me or something.
PS poeple, I'm not trying to be funny here, I really am afraid of really pious christians, so if this offends you, then I apologize.

I'm terrified of monkeys. Honestly.

Taking new medications, because I have had such serious side effects and reactions to medications since I was quite young. I think it is natural to be very cautious/phobic about new meds now, but it gets in the way if a doctor wants to give me a shot or prescribes new medication for me and I have not had the medication before.

I get very uncomfortable in crowds and in small confining spaces.

Im grossed out by hair, i check everything before i eat it to make sure there is no hairs in it and if there is i start gaging and refuse to eat. Or the sound hair makes when it snaps makes me cringe and sometimes i almost through up.

Having the blankets tight around me - my husband can't even have his arm laying on top of the blanket right next to me. It absolutely freaks me out.
I'm sure it's because my brothers used to hold me down in bed with the covers - they were mean.

I have a strange, irrational, and very strong aversion to using the telephone. I especially am averse to making telephone calls, but I also very much dislike answering the phone as well.

I can't stand people touching my neck. I swear I have nearly broken fingers from clamping them down so hard between my head and shoulder!
For some reason, I have serious issues about touching other people's eyeglasses--not sunglasses--but regular glasses. It just freaks me out and I can't do it.
Yes, I know I'm weird.

I am afraid of being high off the ground. As a long haul trucker I have had to cross many large bridges. But I focus on the other side, and dont look out over the bridge. I cannot get on top of building and look out over the edge, I will freak out every time. Even if I see one of those things on TV where the camera makes it look like you are in the plane and it goes over the edge of the Grand Canyon, or over the buildings in a city, I cant watch it. Forget climbing a ladder or getting on the roof. I will fly in a plane, but I keep my eyes closed the whole flight. If I close the window shade it helps, but not much. I guess that is goofy,, but I cant help it.

Thunderstorms, tornadoes and other extreme weather. I have panic attacks if left alone during a storm.

I'm not sure why but I'm afraid to be alone with teachers. One time in sixth grade, my social studies teacher was talking to me about a report that I did and I was afraid to have eye contact with him and stuff.
Another one is falling in love and commiting because I don't want to go through the pain and breaking up.

I don't think there is a scientific name for it, but if I can't move my fingers seperately from one another then I get really really freaked.
I cried one time because I was sleeping and my brother taped my fingers on both hands together...
It was terrible.

Bedspreads at hotels. I pull them off and put them into the corner. I'm guessing they don't wash those very often...and I'll bet there are all kinds of things on them I can't deal with.
