What Are You Nosey About Today?? 🦝

I am nosey about people’s phobias. You can thank Hairball for this because he had me discussing mine earlier. Mine is clowns

Wasps (not bees), scorpions. I hate spiders, but usually they don't get me as bad. Not a huge fan of enclosed spaces or large crowds, but neither really approaches phobia. Unless there is also a bird in the enclosed space, then I'm losing it hardcore.

And while I don't have any fear of it, blood and especially needles make me nearly pass out. I'm a lot better with them than I used to be, but the physical reaction of a panic attack remains a thing.
 
Snakes. And public bathrooms.

The bathrooms are manageable if someone is with me. Snakes give me a full blown meltdown every time.
 
See I like calimari! Especially if it’s battered right! And I actually enjoy octopus salad.. with whole little octopi in it.. that doesn’t bother me one bit but the texture for escargot was what I would imagine it would feel like to chew on a used condom 🤮

I have never had opportunity to have escargot, or calimari now that I think about it. I don't eat out much though and rarely have I ever been anywhere remotely fancy. I always felt uncomfortable, even when I had the money for it.

Great things never came from comfort zones ;)

Okay that settles it....if escargot feelings like chewing on a used condom.....I will take your word for it and never have to try the dish...lol
 
I’m nosey about what your original Username was and the above.

Coastalboy. I met my wife, zilla, here. When we separated, I came back here. Many of our "friends", which we had irl from here, chose sides. It wasn't worth the drama. So I used an alt I created on the GB instead.

There is more to the story...but it doesn't matter.
 
I’m not.
But, I am intrigued by the sword comment…

I am just poking fun at you and your sword comment. But what I said about it...I do believe to be honest. My behavior is more a reflection of what is in me and going on in my life than anyone here. I have defended people here...and I have criticized those same people here if I felt they deserved it. Most leave after the criticism. But that is a reflection on them.

You know part of my story.
 
Phobias....um.....
-aggressive panhandlers.
-heights
-blood, but only from others.


It's a start I think.
 
The only thing that verges on a true phobia for me is wasps. Even photos or drawings make me anxious. I will avoid or modify activities if there is a single wasp spotted. I am hyper alert in situations where I suspect a wasp could be present.
