    My phobias...
    Phones (unless it's someone like my mum)- it can take me ages to build up enough courage to ring anyone, and I jump and feel sick and cold sweaty whenever I hear a phone ring, even if I'm not in my house. (Don't know why, just always have.)

    Anyone coming to the door, except for my family or someone I know well and am expecting. Similar sort of reaction as I have with phones, when I hear a doorbell ring, or a knock. (This phobia developed because of my situation growing up I think.)

    A strong worry about the possibility of having car accidents, sometimes when I'm in the car, but usually this isn't quite as bad (although on long journeys it can be pretty stressful), but mostly if my husband or son etc are off with someone else in a car... I worry myself sick, especially if they are out longer than expected. They only ever go with really good, trustworthy drivers... but it's the other unknown people on the road that worry me, or just freak accidents. (I know this phobia comes from having witnessed the gory aftermath of a double fatality accident.)

    BTW- I'm Australian and I'm not afraid of snakes. :) I have a healthy respect for them, and wouldn't want to corner or step on one- especially the poisonous kind. I have held a couple of non-poisonous ones, and always used to want a carpet python as a pet. :) If I ever get one, I'll invite you over for a cuddle, Kerosene. :)

    I am afraid of reptiles, i mean all reptiles and on the top of the list is snakes. Whenever i walk near bushes or plants, i feel a poisonous snake will just pop out. This is kinda scary.

    I know what you mean. It's actually gotten a lot worse lately as its winter time here and everytime we even hit a bump or slide a little I hold my breath and almost break out into tears. I guess ever since I had my son I've got so much too lose.
