Valerka, as you say my main problem is cockroaches.(I'll tell you a new story today in the class). To tell the truth, I'm not afraid of rats. It is easy for me to hold a rat in my hands(domestic of course). Besides, i'm not afraid of snakes. But i have never seen them in real life but i guess that i will avoid meetings with them cool

To tell the truth, I have a great number of different fears. Well, maybe some of them are relly strange but it doesn't seem to me so. For example, I'm afraid of crossing a road in wrong places.  So, I don't feel panicky, if I do it, but I usually think that a mad driver hits me. And because of this I always cross a road only on a crosswalk and only at traffic light's signal.
Besides, I am in fear with terrible masks of clown. This fear I acquired last summer, when I was working in the camp. One night about 12 p.m. I went to daily meeting. I was thus self-absorbed, that I didn't notice anything around me. My good friend decided to scare people that day and wear a dark loose overall and a very,very frightful mask of clown. He jumped out at me in absolute darkness behind the trees. My scream was hears by the whole camp. Many children woke up because of me but I didn't do anything with myself. My friends still laught about this story and I laught too. But sometimes when I see a strange or scary mask, my body is trembling.

How long have you already have this phobia ? What is the main reason for emergence of human fears ? Do you have some extraordinary fears ? Does your fears change throughout the years ?
When i was a child, i noticed this fear smile But the trouble is that my fear is increasing every year! And i now, most of all  i want to get rid of it. To my mind, the main reason for emergence of human fears is their personality and mental attitude. It is known that there are many phobias  which escalated into disease. But, fortunately, i don't have extraordinarity fears and i hope that they will never  appear!

It turns out that this is a useful fear smile But how did you get it ?
For instance, once I was nearly hit by a car, even though I was crossing the road at a pedestrian subway ...

As for me, I'm not afraid of cockroaches, but it's weirdly unpleasant  for me to look at them. And I'm terrified when I suddenly notice them on the floor or wall in the bathroom ... brrrr

It is strange))if you don't beleive in them? Then why are you afraid of them when it is dark?


Because when I'm in the dark, my imagination begins to remember all the scary characters I've ever seen, no matter they exist or not smile

FoxyT, I agree with you. As for me, they are the nastiest insects in the world!!! I can't stand even a thought about a little or a hude cockroache who stares at me and moves his feeler!!!! I become to panick when I see them and I can't control myself!!! I saw them when I took a shower two or three days ago and it was awful!!! I couldn't relax for a long time after that!!!!

Toma!!! Are you afraid of spiders?
Is your cat afraid of something? Maybe it's afraid of dogs or other cats?

I'm not afraid of cockroaches too. But I think that it's really disgusting. Especially big cockroaches.  
Once upon a time, I saw a lot of them in a train. When the lights were switched off, I was shocked, because I saw a dozen of cockroaches.

As for me, I think that grey rats are awful. I can't say that I have a dread of them, but I think that I could do my best to get out from the place where the rat is.

ValerieTr, maybe you are right, but some of them are cute. And it doesn't depend on their colour.

Well, a hostel isn't an appropriate place for you  biggrin Do you want to overcome your fear? Which way would you choose?

What about other rodents? Are you afraid of rats only or you hate all kinds of rodents?

Do you think that you will never have a dog? Even very little like a chinese crested dog or a miniature pinscher? And what will you do, if your future wife wants to have a dog?

I know that little dogs are not dangurous, but they are not sterling dogs. It's better to have a cat than a little dog. Well, if my future wife or children want a dog, I'll have to make concessions. It wouldn't easy for me, but my family is more important than my personal preferences.

What about you? Have you got a fear of flying? What do you think, how can a person overcome his or her dread of flying?


No. i've not got a fear of flying. Conversely, I find it amusing and invigorating ! As well, I have no such fear, it makes my life easier. 
I think a person should  adjust himself positively and sleep or read during the journey !

I remember one event which was very scary. I and my friends  played in somebodie's garden. It was funny and we had a good time, until one of my friends broke a hive. Suddenly, a huge hive of bees begun to pursue us, but we could escape. This is it! Have you ever experienced something like that?

Irochka, I don't like insects)) and I especially don't like spiders, no matter big or small ... I heard that spiders are useful in the house and they are a good sign ... but this is a good sign, from which I give the creeps smile
And are you afraid of them? eek

My Leska is not afraid of anything)) neither insects, no noise, no a vacuum cleaner, no a belt, nothing)) And it noses its nose everywhere, explores everything. And it is constantly jumping on feet and ankles) So that everyone is afraid of Leska :))
But I think you will make friends with it, Leska will like you : -*

I'm afraid of spiders too. Especially when I see sbeder with long legs and big hairy bodies!!! One day I  carried the trash out and saw a big spider sitting on my arm!!! I was sj shocked!!! I started to jump, and scream!!! Everybody around me stared at me!!! During all this day I was afraid that this spider was still on me!!!
You have a very brave cat. I hope one day you make our meet smile

Valerka
I will do it tomorrow!

:)
I don't see something bad in your actions smile I believe that you should  acquaint your dog with Toma's cat=) Maybe they can become good friends in the future.

Pashkaa
Of course, I want to overcome my fear but i don't know how! Can you give me advice? I can't live with these insects in one room!

From my point of view, grey rats are assoсiated with basements of houses.   wacko

 I just can't stand rats. To tell the truth, I don't think that a rat can be cute, as Zhgutik said. I haven't ever seen a cute rat. biggrin
