The Common Word for Fear

[Crispin]

"Agoraphobia is most known as a fear of "leaving the home" or being out in public. Agoraphobia, however, is one of the closest phobias associated with a fear of losing control. The home is seen as ultimate protection, while leaving the home is the fear of not having control of the outside environment. Of course the fear of lacking control can come at different times and in different ways for anyone that suffers from that particular type of anxiety."

Now opening the floor for questions and comments.

Well, I have this fear of looking over the edge of a high place. It feels like gravity is pulling me down. I know, gravity is actually a force pushing down from above as expressed by Einstein. The strange part is I can fly in ultralights, helicoptors, etc and it doesn't bother me. You should have seen me putting the roof on my house. lol Frank..

Do you pull or push them out if the place is on fire?

How so?

 

[spartacus53]

Hmm, sometimes I wonder where you got your degree Crispin

You omitted the greatest phobia of all, tnetphobia

tnetphobia: Fear of reading some threads and worrying described events will happen

Unlike most phobias, this one covers so many bases. Not only will you barricade yourself in the house, you won't eat, or do much of anything for that matter. Yes, it covers all aspects of life too

 

[worldtalker]

How so?

You ever do something that was not gracious,feeling an angst afterward,like someone watching you? Guilty conscience!

Frankn,

I guess we have something in common....I've flown countless times...no problem.

On a business trip to New York I was staying at a hotel near time square the atrium basically went from the lobby to pretty much the top of the building.....I was on the 25th floor if memory serves me correctly.....a guardrail about 3 feet high or so and the lobby floor directly below...

Needless to say from and to the elevator pretty much walked along the hallway nearer the doors than the guardrail....lol.

Ahh, the great old Hilton Marquis in the theater section, right next to where MTV had a studio too I still go there twice a year, and to let you know, they got rid of that turning bar with piano on the 6th floor

Those elevators are a trip too, what a rush

If you don't show some form of guilt about something (anything) then you are just a living corpse. We are all born guilty. Ask a Catholic, they'll tell ya! lol.

Fear of going outside or of open spaces? Not me.

Well I was a passenger in all cases, but I took the controlls from the right seat of an L20 Beaver and flew from Balto. to Raley/Duram where the pilot took over and did a touch and go. Yes, it was an Army plane. The ultralite was one of those parachute type. The height didn't bother me but those 10 MPH gust almost broke it loose. The helicopter was a free hop when I was shooting the air show in Frederick MD. It was an extremely small chopper and boy did it vibrate. MY last commercial ride was from Balto to Chicago. It got hit by lighting and had to return to Balto in the thunder storm with no radar. They had to replace the nose cover and radar dish behind it. I re-boarded, but about 1/2 refused to re-board the plane. Hay, it seldom strikes the same place twice in one day. lol Frank.
