The dream thread kind of got me thinking of this.
Does anyone here have any phobias?
Ever since I've been a kid, I've always been afraid of escalators. I'm fine going up them but it's very difficult for me to go down them and for several years I just couldn't. It's hard to explain in words why I'm afraid of them but I just am. It's something about picking the right moment to take the step and I'm always afraid I'm going to step on the wrong spot, like the line of where the steps separate and as it's going down and the 2 steps separate it will cause me to fall. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not.
Not sure if it's relevant but as a kid I had recurring dreams of falling down steps and waking up right before the impact of falling on the ground. Maybe this had some sort of impact on it. But it mainly started when I tripped on one as a kid, because I remember before that I never was afraid to go down them.
The only reason I'm able to go down them at all now is because at a school field trip once in either middle school or highschool can't remember which, I just had to force myself to do it because I was embarrassed for anyone other than my family to know about it at the time. Now, I'm still afraid to do it but I'm able to force myself to take the step. I just have to take my time and make sure there isn't a line of people or anything or I have to let them go first. That was always part of the problem too. It was finding a time when nobody was around to try and conquer the fear because it was just kind of embarrassing and I didn't want to block the escalators.
But anyways, anyone else have any phobias? Particularly any strange ones especially.
