Phobia

I'm pretty sure you're really afraid of at least something throughout your life so far.

So *ehem*. As a psychology student, I'll do a favour and DEFINE Phobia for ya.

It is an anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which makes one commits to great lengths in avoiding it/them.

Ok, first of all, I HATE ceiling geckos!

Why?- I got crawled on my right leg TWICE.

It felt like as if it was a cat's tail wagging on your feet, but HELL it's not!

Then slowly it felt cold and sticky because of its disgusting suction padded feet!

Where it happened?- Once, at a local restaurant.

Second time, in a car at a car parking lot.

I danced and screamed.

Heart raced like fuck.

But wait, I have another Phobia.

It is THE WORST Phobia I have throughout my life.

What is it?- Height

To me, height is like death. Especially when I look down from a story high.

The thought of falling down from a higher platform to the ground makes me shivers.

And here's how I'm conditioned to this Phobia:

I fell from an escalator at a local mall when I was a kid.

Probably when I was a primary school kid.

The escalator fucking stopped all of a sudden and I tripped, rolled, and fall right to the ground. Wounded, but not badly wounded.

But that split moment of fear of dying, I swear, I really thought I almost died.

What if I fell and became a vegetable?

That fear, oh my goodness.

But thank goodness, I still use escalators normally.

However, I will be slow as I step onto it.

People look at me as if I'm cray cray.

HAHAHA

*cries*

So uh... What are you afraid of?
