I don't do it all the time.... it's usually when I am stressed or something?
Defo if I am walking somewhere alone - say like past a big group of hoodies & I feel nervous - I count how many steps Im taking to sorta take my mind off feeling insecure (if that makes sense?) I know its probably a bit weird but I cant help it! xx | I do it when I've got a lot of stuff on my mind, like bills/rent la la all that.
My worst ever thing is that if me and oh are doing the dead...I count how many times he...er...thrusts and it has to be even other wise I freak, he gets really p***ed off with me for it as I just can't stop with the counting lol |

If I am walking somewhere i have to make a round trip to avoid crossing back over my path as I feel as though things would get tangled up... it's really hard to explain but I sooo know what you mean!
I actually feel like I will trip over the path I already made (as if I leave an invisible trail everywhere I've been) & am scared of physically falling over it!!  | I can't believe I'm not the only one! My DH thought it was pretty weird when I first confessed to him (or more likely just demonstrated by walking round him oddly!) but he became remarkably accommodating as if it was normal, and sometimes even asking if my strings were ok when I hadn't even noticed! Maybe that's part of what has helped me relax about it a bit. Or maybe I'm just too busy to notice them so much these days!
Wantababybump - glad I'm not the only one afraid of stairs! It's not so irrational though as some fears, especially as sometimes I do fall down them and last time I sprained my right wrist and it took months to heal!
I notice no-one has said they too are afraid of spider crabs!! Maybe that's the sort of thing reserved for marine biologists and fishermen! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Chinese restaurants.. Which is most weird because I had my allergic reaction at my brothers house, and I still eat take away Chinese! If I go into a restaurant though, I have a panic attack.. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've just thought of another and I can't believe I didn't think of it before as it's probably the thing that most affects me - I'm afraid of heat. Hot things. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get by as a scientist afraid of the Bunsen burner and I've never been able to turn the thing that changes the intensity of the flame as I'm terrified it's hot! |

UGH!!! Seeing the word makes me shudder. Both when you and Merv's Mom said it I can't stand them either, we have a missing screen in the living room so this summer they would fly in because of the light. Ewwwwww, I would tell Jeremiah to smack them with something and he would actually save them and take them outside! I also had a couple of them fly into my hair!!  
Plus, I have a severe fear of being eaten by something, be it a lion, bear, SHARK (worst one of all) etc. I'm always thinking of scary things lurking when I got swimming or camping lol. |
