  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 had a boyfriend in high school who wasn't allowed to talk on the phone if it was raining or thundering. His dad would literally flip out if he even thought about it!
Avatar lauraxxxkim Dec, 27 2007 at 11:36 PM
I have the fear of answering and talking on the telephone because I don't want to talk to someone that I don't know.
Avatar alayla Feb, 03 2009 at 10:55 AM
i hate the phone too. although probably not to that extent. and pensacoladiva, you can get electrocuted talking on the phone during a storm if the phone isn't cordless. that's probably why he freaked out lol. my grandparents do that too.

i hate them too! like looking at a picture of one or something they're okay, kinda pretty. but when you're actually around one they're all fluttery and unpredictable. like they could fly at my face on a whim or something.

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.

That must be hard to be a trucker with that fear. I consider you brave for facing something you are afraid of over & over again!
Avatar Taciturnu Apr, 14 2008 at 07:46 AM
I become paralyzed, even when watching TV. I sympathize with you!
Avatar zee-ster May, 01 2008 at 08:22 PM
i'd consider talking to a doctor about getting a tranquilizer for when you fly, honestly! that's awful.

Ginsu, I'd be really interested to know how to get over the fear of thunderstorms - it's driving me and everyone around me up a wall. :-)
Avatar Adelphine Jan, 09 2007 at 08:47 PM
I know just how you feel. I had that fear for years, it has eased with time....
Avatar FadingxSmiles Jan, 13 2007 at 04:57 PM
I love storms and tornados! I mean, it's horrible when someone loses there life or home because of one, but I've wanted to be a storm chaser since I was very young. They fascinate me.
