[Re.TiReD]

AssalamuAlaykum

Or you could call them phobias. (Please dont merge this with another :$)

Do you have any? Like something really really irrational...?

I dont get how we know its irrational yet we still continue to fear it :-[

WassalamuAlaykum

[IbnAbdulHakim]

[Re.TiReD]

Ok I meant phobias.

And can a fear really be rational?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

And can a fear really be rational?

yep unless fearing your always on a downward slope towards hell is irrational?

No of course its not....but then I'd question whether or not that was an actual fear of death rather than hell itself. Because thats what it ultimately comes down to innit.

And if it was a fear of death, then why wouldnt people see it as a release instead....And learn to live their lives in such a way that they would be ok with it.

But death aside... (Coz to a Muslim thats totally rational)

Asalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

I have a phobia for changes. Any changes at all.

[Al-Zaara]

I have a phobia for stupid people. They freak me out, I get goosebumps and heart starts beating faster...


OK, sorry, couldn't resist.


I can't recall having any phobia or irrational fear of anything, elhamdulillah. Do you have sis?

[Re.TiReD]

AssalamuAlaykum

I have a silly phobia, a completely irrational one and I feel so silly :-[

I was trying to find it in your icons, I'm sure it was there but it wasnt.

WassalamuAlaykum

[Al-Zaara]

Tell me! Seriously, though, phobias ain't anything you gotta be ashamed of. It's a psychological issue.

Nothing else? lol.

Fear that what i say doesnt sound right. Pretty stupid, i know but i dunno why sometimes i feel like that.

[Ali.]

For some reason I hate touching spiders.. for example if there's one in my room, I always have to put my gloves on to carry it outside, I can never do it without any gloves, I don't know why!

[Güven]

^oh im affraid of hurting the insects or any other animal while touching them :skeleton:
and besides that uhmm...nothing worldy fears I think :?

[Whatsthepoint]

I don't like insects or spiders or any other multiple legged being and unlike the gentle posters above me, I juts kill the beats.

I have a weird phobia, well i wouldn't really call it a phobia cos it isn't that serious. It doesnt have a name so i will give it one... handbreakophobia. Doesn't sound v. good like, well anyways, i no someone hu didn't put their handbreak on properly and so their car was rolling away and nearly crashed. Ever since i have heard this story i have a phobia i might forget to put my handbreak on (being the idiot i am) so i'm sometimes double checking my car hasn't rolled away lol.

AssalamuAlaykum

WassalamuAlaykum

i used to have a phobia of peanut butter :embarrass until one of my friends tricked me into eatin a peanut butter biscuit and all was well:D

like phobias are all in the mind, if your scared of ants or whatever, just get someone to lock you in a room full of ants, and make sure they stand at the door and hold it down, so you cant escape :D and after the intial trauma and screamin you will get used to them and woo hoo you will be cured!!!

[chacha_jalebi]

if someone fears men and they are women and if a man fears a woman, not me ofcourse:embarrass , but the world will call them all sorts of names:D

irrational like you know its something u have no need to be afraid of....it doesnt make sense yet u still fear it :-[

[chacha_jalebi]

but to some people some fears might be irrational and some fears to others may be rational,

like my mum is really freaked by snakes, and my dad thinks thats a old of crap:p so again it depends on peoples views!

the most interestin bit about phobias, is that they are triggered by childhood experiences :D

Yeh i think some phobias can be explained by childhood experiences, not all phobias though.

[chacha_jalebi]

truss sister

not negative childhood experiences, like there must have been somethin in your childhood that makes you fear whatever you doooo diddly doo, for example who remembas goosebumps them horror books, someone i know is scared of bumps or bumpy thins because them books freaked them out when they was small,

it dont mean you had bad childhood event, it could be a event or situation, like a ant was crawlin on you when you were sleepin and you began hatin ants, summin like that :D
