Weird Confessions

nurse.misty

I'm scared of lizards inside my house. I can sit outside with them all around without a problem, but if one comes inside, the thought of having to get it back out scares me and I start squealing when I finally get it on something to bring it out.

Fish touching me in water freaks me out to. I will only go in water that I can see the bottom in. I don't want anything mysterious coming up to me.

Oh God.  The dentist.  I can't stand being at the dentist.  I hate having my mouth wide open like that for long periods of time, and people poking around in there.  Ugh.

The Mel and Todd Show

Todd's deodorant is funny.  The description of the scent says it smells like man, woods, and freedom (or something...I'm only positive about the freedom part.)  So I make him put his arm up so I can get a good whiff of freedom.  Man deodorant smells good.

I don't like large birds.  A swan attacked me when I was a child.  I wasn't hurt, but it scared the bejeesus out of me.

Geaux, you are beautiful, and your FI is...um, HOT.

In my brain, I associate numbers with colors. Like 1 is yellow, 2 is red, 3 is green, 4 is blue, 5 is purple.

I think it comes from doing the color-by-number things when I was young.

I bought some natural deodorant from Whole Foods and it's super sticky.  So, at the end of the day, I've got all kinds of bits of fuzz in my pits.  It's kinda gross.

Oh, I hate eating M&M's because of the sound they make on my teeth.

RobotLegs

SEWF, that reminds me of another one.  I get 9 and R mixed up all the time. 

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Oh, I also have weird issues with my mouth. I hate mint, I'm sure you know this. HATE. I can't have mint toothpaste. I use cinnamon. Possibly because of my mint phobia, I hate teeth brushing. I mean, I do it, obviously, but I can only brush my teeth with hot water and I have to rinse thouroughly afterward. I can't walk around the house and brush. I want to gag when I see other people walking around and brushing their teeth, or a toothbrush at all, basically.

I am terrified of cave crickets but luckily it seems like they don't exist (yet) in PA because I have yet to see one (thank the lawrd).  My mom's basement in Jersey had tons of them.

Oooh, another person with synesthesia! I do the same thing, but more with people and feelings. I always thought it was so weird until I had a friend in HS who confessed to the same thing.

Weird Sewf! Do you see them as the colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia) or just think of 1 and then see it in your head as yellow?

Me too! I also imagine getting kidnapped from my house a lot, especially at night. I also sometimes worry about getting shot in public because I watch too much TV.

<div>I do this too. And I used to imagine people chasing me when I lived in NYC. Apparently it's a sign of OCD, because there's a control element - you can't completely control the situation so you imagine all the possible outcomes. Weird, right?!</div>

I had to go to the dentist today, and it reminded me why I never go to the dentist. When they have to scrape your teeth with the sharp pointy torture-looking instruments? That sound is the worst sound in the world, and I seriously just wanted to cry the whole time. I had my hands balled into fists instead.

Related to that, I also think teeth are gross. I can't stand whenever there's a close up of people's mouths or of people eating. My H thinks I'm so bizarre. There was a picture at the dentist's office showing teeth with fillings in it, and it grossed me out.

What are cave crickets? I'm afraid to google. Just one more thing to be afraid of. When we go hiking sometimes these weird beetles will cross the path and I FREAK. I think I would freak less if I saw a rattle snake.

missy68

And I think we ALL know how I feel about clowns and dentists and ducks. Nevermind snakes, lizards and  frogs.

kcscejal

Kki, I think part of the reason I like M&Ms is because of the noise they make on my teeth when I eat a whole handful and once and suck on them.  Liking the sound is probably way more weird than not liking it.

FutureMrsTR

I am also an armpit sniffer.  But only my H's.  Not random strangers'.  Now if someone confesses THAT, I'll be sufficiently shocked.

For the people afraid of fish, I've been standing in the ocean and a school of fish swam by and one jumped out of the water, slapped me in the face and went back down.  I was stunned for a moment and then laughed so hard I almost drowned.

nurse.misty

I don't sniff his arm pits, but I do sniff his tshirt every time he puts on cologne. If we are just watching tv I'll lay my head on his chest and just smell his shirt. He gives me weird looks and laughs, but it's just so yummy smelling.

I cannot tolerate people brushing their teeth in public. There are a lot of people who do it at work and it absolutely gags me.

[QUOTE]I am afraid of butterflies. It's so embarrassing. When I was little my aunt wanted to take me on a surprise birthday trip and took me to one of those butterfly places where you go in and they are just everywhere and they land on you and stuff. I flippedthehellout. I know they're supposed to be pretty and stuff, but...they were wiggly caterpillars! And they're all... flappy ! Shudder. Does anyone watch Modern Family? Manny is afraid of butterflies and this has made me feel better about my weird phobia.
Posted by LivLeighton[/QUOTE]

I used to be afraid of butterflies when I was younger, absolutely terrified. I am not sure when the fear went away, but I'm still absolutely completely petrified when I am around a moth.

I eat M&Ms and Skittles by color. LIke, all the red ones first. Then the blues, etc.

Posted by georgia_bride09[/QUOTE]
Omg, I can't believe I'm not the only one who does this! It's the weirdest thing, but they smell so good. I've never met anyone else that has this quality.

No offense to anyone but I think the lobster confessions are hilarious. Maybe because I've often commented on what utterly silly-looking creatures they are. Like, if someone was designing animals, who would have ever chosen THAT?

I joined twitter just to foloow the Bronx Zoo snake.

I thought of another one. I get right and left mixed up all the time. I will constantly say one when I mean the other, and I have to really think about it when giving directions or I'll give the complete mirror!

I don't know if this is wierd, or jiust childlike, but I seriously felt like someone kicked my puppy yesterday at the dentist when they told me how bad my teeth were and that i had to basically give up Skittles and Hot Tomales and all the candy I like.  I was very depressed.  I'm pathetic.

ALL of this.  Except the thing I hate most is that stupid "tooth polisher", that vibrates, and they put this weird pasty stuff with gritty sandy crap in it onto your teeth.  I HATE that stuff.

mandapanda78

I love ghost shows, but can not watch ghost shows. If I watch a ghost show I will become engrossed, but later I will turn on every light in the house and sleep with the panic button on my nightstand. And by 'sleep' I mean lie awake all night thinking every sound in the house is a ghost of some kind or another. Unless it is bedtime I am not generally afraid of ghosts.

I also just got overly excited when I found a peanut M&M that had rolled onto my notebook. I thought they were all gone! I guess that's not really a confession, who wouldn't be excited about an extra M&M? But I can confess to eating the whole bag of M&Ms even though I'm allergic to chocolate.

I do this too. After I've arranged them into a rainbow. I get irritated when I don't get at least one in every color.
