QotD: Phobia

Question: Steven Frank has (had?) a fear of flying. It's got me wondering: what is your biggest phobia? Or are you phobia-free?
My Answer: I don't have any phobias, per se. That's not said to brag (I'm as screwed up as anyone, just in different areas I suppose), but in honestly looking at things I can't say I have a phobia. The common ones are no problem - snakes, spiders, heights, commitment (ha ha). I'm not afraid of pianos or vaginas with teeth (that's a real one) or telephones.

Two big ones: zombies, and nuclear/biological weapons. That's it.

Heights.
I'm much better than I was though 🙂

Earthquakes. I lived in L.A. during the Northridge earthquake in 95 and it was the most frightening thing I've experienced. That's why I left the west coast. Hurricanes don't bother me as much since they can be predicted & we have enough time to prepare, but an earthquake could come any time with no warning.

Rollercoasters. Just thinking about them upsets me. Some heights bother me, but I wouldn't avoid doing something because of them.
