I'm definately afraid of roaches. We had'em bad in an old house we lived in. But what caused it was that when I was very little, I was sitting in the back of my mom's old ford, buick... my grandma lived in a heavy wooded area, and roaches are known to be in areas such as that. I had a drink that I had on the floor and I went to drink it. After I had taken a sip I noticed something was moving wildly in my mouth so I spat my drink onto the floor and this big black thing crawled out onto the ground. I screamed as if I were being kidnapped.
I really had no idea what it was so it basically scared me. I LOVE spiders. I can pretty much tolerate snakes. I like holding them alot, but I CANNOT stand roaches. I'm like those women in those old Tom and Jerry cartoons on a chair screaming, "KILL IT! KILL IT!" xD We have tons of weird bugs down here, but roaches seem to be the only kind that bothers me. I can't sleep knowing there is one in the house.
I now live in a new house and we haven't seen a roach or spider since. I like spiders cause they are good with killing other pests, but roaches... yuck! No! I once stepped on one barefooted. Worse thing EVER! >___<
Another fear I have is being touched... by people I don't know. I'm not really germaphobic, but with people nowadays who knows what nasty places their hands have been. Yuck... I'm not sexist, but it was mainly brought on by men, so I don't really like having them touch me a little too much, unless it's a friend giving me a hug. I'm also a bit erotiphobic. But both that and the touching is a long story...
