MY PHOBIAS

MY PHOBIAS

Everyone, or maybe most, of us have at least one phobia. Well, I have six, and that's quite a lot. Napakamatatakutin ko talaga. Pero ok lang yan, MAGANDA naman. Hehehe, charot lang. Back to what I was talking about, my phobias are these: Phasmophobia, Myrmecophobia, Katsaridaphobia, Hobophobia, Aquaphobia, and my greatest fear, Gerascophobia. I'll be discussing them one by one, and you might just say they're lame, especially my greatest fear. Eh, anong magagawa mo? Wapakels ka.

1) Phasmophobia- Phasmophobia is the term for the fear of ghosts. A lot of people have this, and I'm one of them. I'm afraid that I might just see a ghost in the CR while I'm inside the cubicle. I'm afraid that as I open the door of our classroom, I might just see a ghost sitting on a chair. I'm afraid that in my room, or in our house, I might just see a ghost staring at me as I lay down the bed or as I stand up to get water at night. See? I know that ghosts wouldn't be true if you don't believe in them. Sad to say, I believe that they're true, that's why I'm scared of them. But I like watching horror videos or movies. 'Cause they're cool, that's why I watch them. And I heard in the news before that watching horror movies help your heart work in a better way. I don't know any other details. And at night, before going to sleep, I imagine the ghost characters around me. Seriously, it's stupid. But I can't get them off my mind.

2) Myrmecophobia- Myrmecophobia is the fear of ants. I just really don't like to see ants. When I was a kid, my cousin and I were playing in a field. Running here, running there, running everywhere. Then, I suddenly stopped because I felt some little things crawling up to my lower legs. Then I saw lots of ants. Then I started running back to our house and washed the ants away. I was really shaking that time and my lower legs and feet were so....so itchy. That's how my Myrmecophobia started. Every time I see ants, I remember the time that this happened.

3) Katsaridaphobia- Katsaridaphobia is the fear of cockroaches. Even if the cockroach is just there, not moving, I would call my father to kill the cockroach. It started when I was watching a cockroach fly. Then suddenly, the cockroach flew to my direction until it landed on my leg. I was really jumping as high as I could to make the cockroach fall. But sadly, mission unaccomplished. So I was forced to use my hands to push the cockroach away. But the cockroach didn't fly away. Instead, it crawled fastly up to my shoulder. Dun ko palang nataboy yung ipis. So everytime I see cockroaches just near me, I will really jump out of fear. Also, cockroaches are one of the dirtiest whatsoever.

4) Hobophobia- Hobophobia is the fear of beggars. I really hate it when beggars go near me to ask for food or money. Natatakot kasi ako na baka kung anong gawin nila. Maybe they'll suddenly grab your arm because you gave them nothing. Ewan. Basta takot lang ako sa kanila, especially when the beggars are kids. 'Cause the kids can just grab your stuff like your bag or wallet. They also get mad when you give them nothing. And when they're mad, there's a tendency that they will snatch your stuff or food away.

5) Aquaphobia- Aquaphobia is the fear of water. Meron ako neto when it comes to seeing too much water, like a bucketful. That's why when I take a bath, I spend more than an hour in the bathroom. And about 45 minutes or more of that one hour is spent just by staring at the bucket of water. I don't know kung bakit ako natatakot ibuhos yung isang tabo ng tubig. And when I do, I would shake for a few seconds. It's stupid. I hate it, though I don't know what to do with it. Well, I'm not scared of heights, but if it's water that's underneath, then I would be scared of heights. Kung lupa lang o kaya daan o kaya puro tao at kotse ang nasa baba, I'm okay with it. I would still be able to look down. But if it's water below, like a sea or a river, then manginginig na 'ko.

6) (my greatest fear) Gerascophobia- Gerascophobia is the fear of growing old. Ayokong tumanda kasi I don't know what will happen in the future. Well, nobody knows what's gonna happen in the future. Ako kasi, natatakot ako na baka my future is not going to be good. Also, old people suffer from diseases, and that's inevitable. Natatakot ako about that. Natatakot akong maging mag-isa nalang in the future. Basta. Natatakot akong tumanda. Yun na yun.

Okay. So parang pinapakilala ko ng lubusan ang aking sarili dito blog na 'to. Dinescribe ko na yung not-so-good not-so-bad side ko sa isa kong entry (ME), tapos ngayon naman, yung fears ko. Ano kayang sunod?
