Phobic-Moi?

Phobic - Moi?
(Look who's talking)

This is a re-hash of something I wrote quite some time back, and yes,...the whole intention is to get some of you scrambling for your dictionaries (or...to quote Evi, "I will open another window and use the on-line dictionary.") But more importantly, it is for me to examine myself and find the root causes of all the innate quirky characteristics I display.

StrengthsQuest results show that my #1 Top Talent is Input...which I chosen to connect with the idea of why I have such a 'karung guni' mentality. I hoard information...It seems as though I get a kick of simply reading things for the fun of it.

So here I am today, unwinding as I surf through the tonnes of information especially those quack sites whose credibility is suspect, I can to this conclusion...I am predictably unpredictable (somehow the sad paradox is very fitting)

It is an open secret that I am claustrophobic. Every nerve ending tingles, and the hair on my skin stand on ends if my private space is invaded. It's not funny to be giddy with fear. I can't even apologise for being irrational and unnervy. My genetic makeup is such that I detect auras.

Woe betide me who , as a result of being paranoid in crowded spaces, end up being acrophobic and ochophobic....so not even for a million dollars will I be caught dead on a capsule of the Singapore Flyer...No..No..No...though, I am proud to admit that I did summon enough courage to walk the transparent glass floor at Auckland Tower.(albeit shaking and quaking for 30 minutes before I semi-crawled around)

I am a poor traveller...how I envy those who can knock off to sleep in buses, trains, ships and planes...as long as I am in a moving vehicle...my senses work overtime! On planes, I succumb to aerophobia...so do you know how freaky it is when you get a double dose of phobias working against you at the same time? So long distance travel is not a good idea.

But...here are a lists of things which I am I can safely say I will not break out in cold sweat over. I am not
a) sesquipedalophobobic
b) bibliophobic
c)logophobic
d)phronemophobic

What about you?

Prayer for the Day
Dear God, thank you for helping me understand my flaws and shortcomings, for I know that I will have to work continuously to become better. Thank you for my strengths, and blessing me with certain pecularities that make me ME!.
