Mine is fairly lame. I'm terrified of haunted houses. The things that small children are meant to find mildly scary. They are created to incite fear but not in a grown man. I know the story behind it and I still think it sounds strange. All I know is that I'm fine when I'm outside but get me inside and I freak out. Like panic-attacks and stuff.

I have a few fears like spiders and wasps and such. Those are just your standard fears though. Nothing over-the-top crazy loon scared.

What do people think defines a phobia over a fear, too? That's an interesting thing.

I think of a phobia as an uncontrollable, almost intoxicating fear. Like, I actually can't think inside those places. I just know I have to get out. On teh other hand I think a standard fear is controllable. Get out of it's immediate vecinity and you're fine. Just the thought of those houses sets me on edge.

Anybody have any thoughts?
