No prob at all. I mean people who dress as something else. Anything, really.
Like on parades and such, know what I mean?

oh okay and yeah professional dancers can be a bit intimidating but I think you are probably talking about maybe just regular clubs where you can freestyle dance steps and still fit in.

Yes. It scares the **** out of me. I don't go to clubs by the way, but even at concerts there's always some 43 year old woman trying to impress men by dancing to every song that sounds even the tiniest bit like salsa or such.
But even beautiful young girls, I don't like people dancing when I'm near. I'm always afraid the want me to join in. I step back slowly and get the **** out.

Another one: Swimming pools. Sea and lakes are fine. But I hate swimming pools. Even the smell of these things gets me nervous. Bit traumatized. Got bullied quite a lot (wet towels, keeping me under water and such) at swimming pools and I almost drowned once.
I also had a swimming teacher who would throw the kids quite a distance over the water. All kids thought it was fun, I hated it but she'd still do it. So that automaticall taught me to swim underwater trying to pass her. Turned out to be a very good method

when girls want to dance up on you all you have to do is stand still and they will most likely do all the work. It's called grinding. Even though I prefer to use moves, i'm always down for a little grinding.

I know what grinding is. I don't go to such places though

.
And the girls I know who did that are now waaay beyond that phase feeling very ashamed about it indeed

She didn't even mean harm. She just didn't take into account that I'm different from the other 25 kids...

Thats really funny man..the swimming pool story...

s_k · 02-11-2011, 12:19 PM

Nah, please don't feel bad after what I'm about to say now; But I don't think it was half funny. The swimming teacher, maybe. But nearly drowning and getting hit with wet towels every ****ing thursday... Not funny.

Those dragon and lion puppet things at chinese cultural celebrations and sometimes other asian holiday celebrations. It's those big eyes, the violently clashing cymbals.
I can listen to it or watch from a distance or tv fine, I just can't be near it.
One year I thought I'd force myself to get over it as there was a mall thing for new years. Nope, had to get out. Started tearing up as soon as it began.

Once I was at a taiko drum performance and there was one going down the aisle. It stopped beside me and I was supposed to pat it. But I thought, not a chance buddy. He eventually moved on after a few seconds.

Oh I understand this completely

They are very overwhelming in a negative sort of way.

Puppets
Heights(although i'm better than I used to be)
Slenderman(know he's not real but ****...)
Getting abducted by aliens
Demons
Dying and going to hell
Someone knocking out all my teeth
Things underneath the bed
Nightmares
The dark(just when I'm by myself)
My overactive imagination

I don't know if it qualifies as a fully fledged fear, but I hate mascots and people in costume on any day other than Halloween.

It might have something to do with Disneyland when I was 3. We were having breakfast, and Aladdin came to our table. He frightened me, so I hid under the table cloth at my mom's knees. He thought it would be a good idea to climb under the table to get me. I remember screaming and crying and not much else.
