The thing is, when I see the item of my phobia it's clobbering time and

me to touch one.

I have only one true phobia - - crossing bridges, especially high,
narrow, spider-webby types. I'd like to see them put one of those in
a studio - what the heck would I do with it?

What if your extreme phobia is SPAM? :-)

Then I recommend you not visit the SPAM museum in Minnesota

I know exactly what they'd do, they'd make me confront my extreme
phobia. NO THANK YOU.

Just saw an episode of Law & Order in which a television producer made this
girl confront the man who raped her as a child. Gave her a knife for
"protection" and a camera to tape it all... of course, being L&O she killed
the guy. Yes, it's television drama but confronting your fears and phobias
isn't always a great idea.

This will make you laugh... when I was a child living in California I
thought if you crossed the Golden Gate Bridge you had to drive UP the
suspension wire supports. I didn't understand there was a level road on the
bridge so the thought of driving over it terrified me.

Charlie is the same way. When we went to the Lions Gate bridge he wouldn't
even get out of the car in the parking lot.

Nationally Syndicated daytime talk show is looking for guests

start the process to healing.

Are you afraid of driving? Are you afraid of illness? of
leaving your house?

What if your extreme phobia is performance anxiety? :P

Hey, that was my joke!!!

Great minds think alike. ;-)

Ohhh, wow, I've never seen those sites, thank you! Although I doubt I
will be undergoing any hypnosis or re-programming treatment for my
phobia, it is nice to know that it *is* a fairly common fear. I will be
sure to mention that to the next person who says, "What?!?! That's
stupid, they can't hurt you!"

Pickles is the most bizarre phobia I've ever heard of. I wonder what
the Greek name for that is?


Fortunately, what I'm afraid of is not a regular species, but only a
mutated, deformed variant of the species. It's rare enough that most
people dont' even realize it's possible, or know what I'm talking about
when I mention it. So, I think that I will just keep my phobia, carry
a walking stick, and hope no one ever tries to be cute with one towards
me.

Fear of pickles is pretty strange though and must make grocery stores
and restauarants suck.

Anyone who says that doesn't understand phobias.
