    There should be an option of having a fear of not having any fears

  9. Members who joined more recently than, what, 5 years ago (?), probably don't understand reference to the "tgpo" option.

    Anyway, it used to be any poll just had to have a "tgpo" option. I voted for that, maybe out of nostalgia.

  10. Heights, but if there was an option for 'Family Get Togethers' I would click that too.


    I find both fears worsen depending upon my stress levels.
    The other day I wouldn't go on the Sky Ride at the shore and I have been on it about a dozen times over the years.

    Must be time for a vacation

    That option was for nostalgia reasons.

    Wouldn't that be considered dread instead of fear?

    No phobias whatsoever. However, I can think of many things that I would rather not do. But if I had to I would do them.

    What comes to mind for me would be to have to crawl thru a 500' long 24" dia pipe in complete darkness with spider webs in it.

    An undesirable task, to say the least. But if I had to do it. I'd just do it. I've always been an adrenaline junkie, so for me it's always a good challenge to face my fears and win.

    For newcomers, there's still an entry in our Glossary for tgpo: "tgpo
    Short for The Great Pat-o. He is the coolest guy ever."

    However I suspect he wrote that himself.

    You should add a fear of spiders option (spiders aren't strictly speaking an insect)

    My fears are:
    1. Spiders
    2. Being late for the orgy

    Fear of enclosed spaces... sometimes. I think it's more of a fear of being restrained. I can handle elevators but I can't sleep under a blanket or be in my car without having the window open at least crack, even in winter. When backed into a corner (or restrained/herded in any way) I freak out.

    I once had a bad fall and my co-workers tried to hold me still in case of a back injury. I screamed and came up swinging. Is there a name for this?
