+ Having
my head underwater or getting water on my face. No, I don’t have a fear of
showering or washing my face, but I don’t like being splashed or being under
water. The one exception is snorkeling. And it’s barely an exception. I love it because I love seeing all the
fish. But it takes me a good 10 minutes to get used to having my face under
water (and I’m talking baby steps of
practicing breathing from the snorkel and dipping my face in the water for a
few seconds at a time until I calm down!). And there is always a chance I could
freak out if conditions aren’t favorable (too many waves, strong current, or
suddenly shallow water with sea urchins below me!!).

+ Small
spaces, mostly because I’m afraid of running out of air. On that note, I don’t
even like to have blankets over my head because I feel like I can’t get enough
air. I don’t like sleeping too close to my husband because I feel like we’re
sharing air and I can’t get enough of my own. I know. It’s weird.
+ I
don’t think I’m really afraid of heights because I don’t mind thrill rides that
involve heights and I don’t freak out on top of tall buildings or bridges or
anything like that, BUT I freaked out when trying to complete a high ropes
course once and had to be “rescued.” Yeah, it was embarrassing. Apparently I
can’t handle heights when it also involves me doing something coordinated. Ha!

| After my horrifying experience on the high ropes course. Out of a group of 25, I'm sad to say I was the only one who had to be rescued and didn't finish the course. :( I may not look terrified in this picture, but I'm smiling b/c it was OVER! Summer 2006. |
+ Wearing
a lot of makeup, bulky or flashy jewelry, or really high heels. I just like to
keep things simple. I don’t like to draw a ton of attention to myself. And I
feel too uncoordinated to wear high heels!
+ Talking
to strangers. I’m a major introvert and mingling and chatting with new people
is not my strong suit.
+ People
who are rude, racist, hostile towards Christianity, easily angered, pessimists,
and those who overreact.
+ People
who are extremely outgoing. If I get to know them it might be different, but
initially our personalities will clash and I’ll feel uncomfortable.
+ Being
hit on.
+ Waking
up in the morning…it’s so much more comfortable in bed! ;)

| See what I mean? This is what happens when I try to sleep in on the weekends. My hubby makes the bed AROUND me! Thanks, babe! November 2010 |
+ Driving
through downtown Atlanta.
 |
| Can you blame me? |
And
about a thousand other things! But these are the first ones to come to mind!
What makes YOU uncomfortable?

I agree with so many things on your list! Snorkelling freaks me out, I can't breathe properly. I can do it once I've calmed down a bit but not under pressure. The height thing, we went to the honda center recently and were sat high up, the view down made me uncomfortable. Have a great weekend :)
