About my phobias

I am damn scared of lizards of all kinds or any reptile for that matter and over the years I thought that I was over that, as I no longer fear to sleep in the same room as a lizard. Even yesterday, as I was standing quite close to this lizard to take this picture, I was not scared. OK, just a little bit scared but not overly scared.



So today I decided to test whether I have indeed got rid of this phobia and I went to the perfect place to do this - Google image search. Haha! And I simply typed "lizards" and waited and I saw a parade of lizards of all kind in front of me pretending not to be the vicious creatures that they are and I closed the tab. I had enough... And if you're wondering, yeah I'm still scared of lizards.

  1. Lizards are freaky. And they are scary. Have you ever noticed how they always seem to be conspiring on something. I cant sleep if there's a lizard in my room and I doubt I ever will.

  3. hahahaha! lizards are cool , particularly the ones which are colorful :) once one of the normal one just lost grip from where it was (the ceiling i guess) and splattered right on my head hahaha Cold sensation ... and guess what .. it lost his tail in the process and i wonder how it could still make it move :P telepathy ?

    but thats ok if you dont like them .... i feel the same about spifuckingders! yeah SPIDERS

  4. Who likes lizards? :P While I'm not scared of them, I sure wished they would stay away, except the beautiful ones. I think I got rid of my fear for reptiles when I got the role of a chameleon in Std 1. Now, they fascinate me...

  5. m0rph, haha! spiders are cool! :P with their several legs and they move fast, and you might never know when a spider has landed on you! niahaha!

    I'm amazed at how lizards' tail move when they've been cut. It's so weird. My cat likes eating lizards but he always leaves the tails behind, dunno why. :p

  9. :) The National Phobics Society estimates at least four million Britons are affected - but the true number could be many more.

    In some cases people refuse to leave their homes, and risk their health.

    The society has classified the disorder as an anxiety condition in its own right, and is launching a self help book and DVD.

    Toilet phobia can simply be manifest as a mild distaste for public loos.

  10. I don't like lizards. I remember seeing my cat torture a lizard when i was in MU. Argh. The one in this photo looks 'nice' though. haha. It's a bit weird using the word nice to describe a lizard. Let's just say that i like the colors. :)

  11. I'm not particularly afraid of lizards. Just find them disgusting, 'cause I don't seem to have any of those colorful ones at my place, just the weird green ones.... But cockroaches is another story... I just hate them and can't seem to overcome that fear!

  12. The lizards I see are house lizards. We call them 'cicak'. They are pretty harmless and they help to eat the the insects. When frightened, they drop their tails but will grow again, I guess.
    Do you hear them making noises at night?

  13. Ahh cockroaches... I hate them too. I don't mind spiders though.

    Oh morinn, I have special tricks to fight lizards. They don't make it to my room and the few ones that do wish they never did.

    I wish I had cameleons in my new garden though... Hehee

  16. I'm "ok" with lizards even though I'm not fond of them. I'm scared of spiders, especially the big ones. I don't like killing insects but once I saw a *giant* spider (hmm, ok maybe not giant.. but definitely very big!)in my room and I knew I wouldn't be at peace as long as it was there. The only thing I had at hand was a deodorant spray. I kinda suffocate the spider to death by spraying all my deodorant on it!
