What phobia do you NOT have that so many others do?

[scalt]

What will you gladly do that other people are terrified of?

I'm not claustrophobic at all. I love small, dark, enclosed, underground spaces. I recently visited the Speedwell Cavern in Derbyshire which has an underground river going through a very narrow tunnel, which you go along in a boat. I went there as a child, and as an adult, it seems even narrower now, and I loved it.

Me too OP. I'm the opposite in that I'm more comfortable in small places. I'd happily sleep in a coffin.

Heights don't bother me either.

I don’t know that many people have a severe phobia of them, as opposed to just not liking/being a bit scared, but I really have no issue at all with wasps.

I don’t know why, because I’m completely pathetic about spiders.

I'll happily remove a spider from my house with my bare hands. Many people are scared of them. I'm not. And it's bad luck to kill them so I just take them outside

No problem with spiders, snakes or bugs!

Would you sleep in a coffin with the lid on (assuming it had air holes)?

I don’t run away screaming when a wasp comes near me. I’m always surprised at how many people do.

Spiders

Snakes - I think they are cute!

Oh yes, I'm fine with snakes, mice, rats etc. I'm more scared of big things that can actually hurt you eg a big dog/cow/horse

I'm the same, I am allergic to wasps and bees and they don't phase me at all, spiders on the other hand I am a total wimp about and have enlisted help from several neighbours and even a stranger, to get them out of my house!!

I'm fine with mice too, I don't mind picking them up and taking them outside in a tupperware pot

I'm not scared of spiders.

A few years ago here on MN, trypophobia was the new black. No problem looking at holes here!😬

Also not very arsed about clowns. 🤡

Rats, mice, snakes - all lovely. Not keen on spiders. Absolute wimp when it comes to flying but not scared of heights.

More usefully, not at all scared of walking about on my own at night most places.

Spiders and snakes. I love them. Not worried by them at all

Spiders, wasps. No problem.

Am terrified of dead birds though. It is so, so irrational. I get how people who are frightened of spiders and wasps feel.

We have a massive front window and every year fledglings fly into it and break their necks. I will shake and cry when picking them up even with a carrier bag over the body and a litter picker… no way could I make contact with my actual hand.

I'm fine with spiders and wasps

Slugs make my skin crawl though

No issues with spiders or snakes, but not mice/ rats

Snakes. I am scared of spiders though.

I’m not scared of heights/ insects/ flying/ holes/ the dark/ rodents/ snakes etc.

I do have an extremely severe phobia of needles and blood though.

Public speaking. Doesn't bother me at all. I just think about what needs saying and who wants to hear it. never occurs to me people are looking at or judging me, personally.

Also fine with non-poisonous snakes, and really love mice and rats. But rubbish with spiders and wasps.

Spiders - there’s one living next to my bed, right by my head, and it doesn’t bother me at all.

I am fine with blood and injections. I happily sat and watched the last blood test being taken. The human body is amazing. Ive also given blood over 40 times. I am scared of spiders, but love mice and rats. Snakes dont scare me but I wouldn't queue to pet one....

Yes absolutely. As long as there were no spiders and bugs there and the airholes were like grids to keep out spiders and bugs.

Talk to people and assert how I feel.
