I have almost slapped her at least a dozen times. By now, she's been full on hating about me and one of my other friends to everyone else, and we've just ignored it. She always needs the attention, and since I don't really like to get much social attention (it stresses me out), I just let her take the spotlight, and it works fine.

I'm claustrophobic, A little bit anyway. I can handle being stuck in elevator-sized rooms. But being in something I can't stand or sit in, I'm terrified of and will start to breathe so hard I pass out and cry.

I also have a lot of OCD's, some of the following are what they are.

-Offset drawings or art.
-Uneven things
-Things not being where I don't want them to be
-A clean room (( Yep, I hate having a clean room. ))
-Bad puns that don't make sense

Like this night with my sister and mom

Mom to my sister- So, I bought a ham just like you asked.
Sister- Mom... Grandpa had one downstairs.
Mom- Oh.
Me- Well, that's a hamful.

Well, a lot of people are sharing, so I guess I will too.

My worst fear: needles and doctors. I get nervous just being at a doctor's office, but if I need to get something done with a needle, I panic and start shaking. I've managed to cooperate, but I'm always weak afterward.
I have a general fear of people, but that's more social anxiety.
I hate ants. Other bugs I don't mind, except large spiders, but something about ants freak me out. Mainly when there are a bunch of them.
I have a specific fear of unstable heights. I don't mind being high, but bridges and unstable stepladders make me really nervous. I don't even like standing on a chair.
And the funnier one: I don't like being around poultry. Chickens, geese, turkeys, they all make me really nervous. We had an aggressive hen once, ok? ;) It's just funny, because most animals don't scare me at all, but you just can't read chickens' intentions.
Edit: Oh yes, another odd one: ovens. I can cook, I'm ok with pots, but for some reason I find it really hard to stick my arms in a hot oven. Means I generally don't preheat, and I let it cool before taking anything out.

Might be more I'm not thinking of right now, but those are the notable ones. Also, I do have some others that aren't as easily posted here.

I have major claurophobia (Fear of clowns). They have red, painted on smiles and eyes that stare into your soul which is terrifying (no offence to the nice clowns :D ). Just imagine one of them coming out from a gas station or by the side of the road lolloping crazily towards you. THEY'RE CREEPY.

@Fengarii
I'm the popular one around my area(school, classes, etc.), and I've been through those type of things. It sucks. I recently had a friend who would always stick her hand out and whine about being hungry when someone had some type of food she wanted. I basically just stopped talking to her. I asked my other friends about their honest opinion on her, and they said they didn't really like her either. You don't have to say that you don't really like them, if you stop talking to them a little, and just ignore them, they'll probably take the hint and leave you alone.
Oh, and, she would copy what the popular people said and did. I struck a (pretty stupid) experiment by saying 'Happy birthday!' to everyone. In less than a week, everyone in my class(back in 5th grade, when there weren't any periods) started saying it... Yeah, my 'friend' was one of the first.
My advice? Just don't talk to them. If they go out of their way to annoy you(my 'friend' made my other friend her messenger and asked her to ask me for part of my seaweed roll to give to her, because she was 'hungry' .-.), then just say no(what I did was quickly bite into my seaweed roll and ask if she still wanted it, since it had my saliva on it then). It's fine, I think a lot of people go through these types of problems.



Fears?
A lot, lot, lot.
Hmm. List of stuff...
The dark
Dolls
Snails and slugs
Problems that I might get(like cancer)
...and other stuff

Kind of not a fear, but I just hate the problems that I have(hard to explain, but half-symmetry problems with my brain, half-double vision with my eyes, ugh)

I have a fear of heights, but it always was a weird one. Other people talk about the fear of falling or something. I freeze. Even when my adrenalin is high I'll freeze, even as my head is saying "its not that high really". I shake a little and panic. I doubly can't stand it if my feet are hanging loose and not on something. However when I get onto those 3d climbing nets (we call them spiderwebs) I tend to be okay, something about having more then 3 points of contact. In general though if my feet are secure and look secure (I hate standing on glass or grating) and there is an obvious barrier I'm not scared. However I shake when I stand on a stepladder.

We call them Spiderwebs too!

I have a really weird fear: video game deaths
While it's never been diagnosed as a phobia, I listened in on enough of my sister's conversations with my parents and her therapy sessions to be pretty sure it's the same as her diagnosed phobia of our cat on the stairs.
I've had it for a very long time. Like, back when I used a Leapster I already had it. There was a maze game and every time you touched a wall and sound effect would play and you would have to start over, also a red X would appear on the screen. Very stressful. I would have nightmares about it so I started avoiding the mini game, and over time, the entire game card.
I had a Tinker Bell DS game a little later on, and there was a game where you had to run from a hawk, and when it came near, hide. You needed to play it to get to a certain area. Needless to say, after the main storyline, I never went there. However, it was one of the few places you could get Cotton, something I needed to complete the game, so I never completed it.
We got a video game for my grandma called Epic Mickey and I couldn't handle that either. I was the only one who played it. Why we got a video game for my grandma, I'll never know. She doesn't play video games.
What I really hate is the levels in the Harry Potter Lego video games where there is some teacher or enemy with a line of sight. Also those little mushroom things that hide in the ground and pop up randomly. The worst was in the years 5-7 Xbox game where the dementors are coming after you and it's basically a cut scene disguised as a level because no matter what you do, they need to catch you for the storyline to continue. Since it didn't save, I had to do it twice. My cousin yelled at me to stop screaming.
Also, Animal Jam adventures. I didn't do those for awhile because I couldn't handle it when the Phantoms weren't behind fences.
I also have this Guardians of Ga'Hoole DS game and even though it is one of my most favorite things ever I spent a year on the third level because there were these green tornadoes that I didn't understand the mechanics of so it seemed like they would pop out of nowhere. Plus, I couldn't see behind me on that game, and there was a time limit. Not a good combination.
That brings me to Sylestia. I had forgotten my fear because of how simple it was to defeat the enemies, the lack of a time limit, and the fact that nothing was animated. I could fool myself into thinking I was just pushing buttons that made bars decrease. My latent fear was remembered when I got to a certain boss battle, can't remember which one. The anxiety was so bad I spent months (probably) just going through completed areas and earning badges while I collected an insane amount of elixirs and leveled up a ton. This was when I was reminded why I don't usually play games like this. In the end, the boss was really easy because I overprepared by a long shot.
So yeah, I tackled my fear, and started facing it in other areas and I thought I was over it until I saw Jumanji.
I think it's actually gotten worse, not better, because I was so anxious I wanted to leave the movie theater and I was getting really restless and breathing really fast. Cause, I mean, it's a whole movie about video game deaths. I began questioning why I wanted to go.
Anxiety sucks. It was a good movie, but I couldn't enjoy a large part of it because I kept reasoning and trying to predict whether or not someone would die and whether this type of movie would do something like that and whether it would be better for the plot.
I don't know why I'm so scared, it's probably a gap between suspension of disbelief and instincts or something to do with empathy.
Congrats if you read all that, it was long and most likely unintelligible.

It's not unintelligible!


And, by the way, it's okay, everyone I know has phobias.

I don't know if we'll get over them, but hopefully we will...



I'm also very, very scared about being alone.
And of veins. *shudders*
and a whole bunch of other stuff :/
