Did you know that some people are phobophobic. They fear phobias. I guess you could say they fear fear itself!

 

A few poor souls are panophobic. They fear any damn thing you can think of...EVERYTHING!

I have a major fear of heights. Don't know what it's called, but I almost have a panic attack just thinking about it.

 

Also terrified of insects.

Heights is acrophobia.

Insects is pretty straight-forward .... insectophobia .

You defiantly do not suffer from Geeallmypostsarereallylongphobia

He's definitely defiant.

I have mispellophobia....

Idruincondrivophobia.

 

It took me a minute before figuring out how you arrived at that word. Believe it or not I actually googled it before it finally dawned on me.

 

My search came up with only one result and, surprise surprise, it just happened to be a link to this thread, and more specifically your post.

 

Imagine that.

 

Perhaps my problem is not exactly a phobia, yet more like a bit of neurosis developed over years from repetitively dodging idiots on the road, resulting in me being more skittish while driving than in the past.

You too, Farrah. Never said I was an amazing catch. :) I am, however, so very grateful for everything I have been blessed with in my life up to, and including now.The Universe has blessed me in so many amazing ways and continues to do so. I am a very lucky man.

 

Maybe you should consider gratefulness and humbleness as a next step in your recovery.....

 

BTW: continuing to post and dredging up an old news story, about the same person, when no one else in the entire universe even cares.....looks like...

 

Impairments in self functioning (a or b): a. Identity: Excessive reference to others for self-definition and self-esteem regulation; exaggerated self-appraisal may be inflated or deflated, or vacillate between extremes; emotional regulation mirrors fluctuations in self-esteem. b. Self-direction: Goal-setting is based on gaining approval from others; personal standards are unreasonably high in order to see oneself as exceptional, or too low based on a sense of entitlement; often unaware of own motivations.

 

Impairments in interpersonal functioning (a or b): a. Empathy: Impaired ability to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others; excessively attuned to reactions of others, but only if perceived as relevant to self; over- or underestimate of own effect on others. b. Intimacy: Relationships largely superficial and exist to serve self-esteem regulation; mutuality constrained by little genuine interest in others' experiences and predominance of a need for personal gain

B. Pathological personality traits in the following domain:

1.Antagonism, characterized by:

a. Grandiosity: Feelings of entitlement, either overt or covert; self-centeredness; firmly holding to the belief that one is better than others; condescending toward others. b. Attention seeking: Excessive attempts to attract and be the focus of the attention of others; admiration seeking.

Thanks, Sigmund Birdbrain. Don't delve so deep. I just like to laugh. I don't take life too seriously.

I'm scared of heights, clowns and crowds.
