The Untold Story ~1 (Phobia)

Phobia is known as fear of something or situation that go to great lengths to avoid it,usually in irrational way.I believe that almost everyone have phobia including myself.I looked up for the type of phobia and I found out that I had 4 kind of phobia when I was kid and they were Agyrophobia, Arachnophobia, Coulrophobia and Automatonophobia. I will try to explain the 4 phobia and including them with some stories of mine..You can search for other type of phobia in Wikipedia or just click this link for a direct search > List of phobias .For now,let's enjoy the stories shall we?

1. Agyrophobia

Agyrophobia is the fear of crossing road,mostly because of the fear of the car.For me,getting hit by the car is the reason for me to be afraid of crossing the road.When I was still a kid,6 up to 12 I guess that I had this kind of phobia because I don't really understand about the reason why people got hit by the car.I clearly remembered the feeling of crossing the road with my family..You can imagine that my father parked the car at the side of the road near the shopping mall and my family had no choice other than crossing the road to reach to the mall.I would grip my mothers hand and cautiously looked at the car around.When the road clear,I would run and pull my mother along as quick as I can,my heart was beating so hard that it was almost like bursting out from my chest.When we reached to the other side of the road,I would let go of the hand and happily enter the mall like there was nothing happen.It was better than on the time when I was crossing the road alone and I would shout at my family to cross the road quick while gestured them that the car was just an inch from them even though the car was still 20 meter away from us.It was funny at how I thought that drivers tend to hit people who is crossing the road because they can't see what is beyond them.I should know that most of the drivers (not including the drunk and irresponsible driver) will stop or slow down their car when they see people crossing the road.

I must say that if you have this kind of phobia,it will be better if you avoid yourself from riding any motorcycle.The chance of meeting accident is possibility common especially when you notice that there is a car behind you.So,please be careful.

2. Arachnophobia

Arachnophobia is the fear of spider.I don't remember much when I start to have this fear of spider but I have the feeling that I developed this fear after watching a movie about huge spider who eat human..Yuck..The sharp pointing 8 legs of the spider are creepy.Imagine how it stab human with its' legs.Among the 4 phobia I just mentioned,this is the only phobia I have until now.I don't have problem with the cute cartoon spider but looking at the realistic drawing of spider is unexplainable.When I went to the toilet and met with the small home spider,I would stand and stare at it long enough before I collected the courage to use the toilet but different from the big one,I would scream and ran away like my life depended on it so much and of course,asking my brother to get rid of it quick by not killing it.Sorry for the spider lover out there..we're not compatible.I can't live with spider beside me.

There are something that I curious about my life,there is the time when I have the feeling of saving insect that trapped in the toilet.I would use anything like pencil or toothbrush to save the small insect from the water,imagining that they were drowning and put them at the higher place.Small spider is no exception..Weird right?

3. Coulrophobia

Coulrophobia is the fear of clown.Most children all around the world are afraid of clown because..yeah,the face,the hair,the nose and the make up..I hate clown when I was still kid and really grateful that there is less clown in Malaysia or maybe none,I'm not really sure because I knew clown from the television,cartoon probably.I have no experience or stories about meeting clown but I know you guys did.I thought children love clown because the clown has balloon and seem to be really colourful but in reality,clown brings fear in some children's life.Can't really blame the clown because the popular culture about the clown itself is the reason of the phobia.No one who has this kind of phobia find the clown cute like the picture below..Hehehe

4. Automatonophobia

Automatonophobia is the fear of  anything that falsely represents a sentient living such as ventriloquist dummies,doll,wax statues,puppets and etc..depends on the person him/herself but for me,mostly ventriloquist dummies and doll that can move its' eyes..I love to play barbie doll because its' seem beautiful but not a doll that looks like it can talk...creepy..I wasn't that fear with puppet but looking at them made me uncomfortable.It's all thanks to Chucky from the Child's play..It's look cute when it smile but you should know fear when it smirk.

To think about it,human fear for something that they don't know much about..Yeah,probably right because I don't want any non-living thing to move around when I'm not looking..

Television has a great influence in person's life..Oh yeah.Most fear come from what we see and experience..Watching television is no exception.Oh..Thank you too for the pictures above..all of them aren't mine.I used it for the entertaining purpose.
