manc-mag 1 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Aren't you doing a psychology degree though GF? Now I do mean no offence but if so there is a fair chance you will end up a low earner. Personally I reckon there's nothing wrong with that like. 143385[/snapback] As a mature student too, he's nee Gordon Gecko like 143398[/snapback] "Greed is good......and can be cured by my convenient, easy to follow, three hour intensive subliminal audio tape treatment."

Renton 20983 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Renton, how did your fear of flying used to manifest itself? Are you completely over it or do you still cry like a newborn baby from the minute the seat belts light goes on? 143397[/snapback] Sweating, heart rate soaring, palpitations, nausea, just generally shitting myself, especially on take off. I've flown so much recently I'm really not bothered any more. Also sussed out alcohol and benzos DON'T help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20983 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I am seriously thinking of flying up to Toon next time though, as it will be a short flight143346[/snapback] Personally I find the short-haul domestic flights the worst of the worst. From experience I've found a as a general rule, the further you're travelling, the more comfortable and more relaxed I feel... 143387[/snapback] Personally I have to say that really is utter bollocks. The further you go the longer you are on the metal tube of death. 143390[/snapback] Absolute horse-shit! Do Southampton to Edinburgh in a BAE 1-11 and then tell me a Boeing is worse! Further you go, the bigger the plane and therefore the smoother the journey. I bet you're one of these freaks who reckons a Fiat Panda offers the same comfort as a Bentley, aren't you Renton? 143402[/snapback] I wasn't talking about tiny planes Mr Nerdgeek. But personally I'd much rather fly to Rome, say, in an Easyjet 737, than fly trans-Atlantic in a 767 in economy class. The difference being about 6 hours.

Toonraider 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 whey it's well known the the plane is a phallic symbol so TR might not actually be afraid of planes, it maybe a fear of the penis. she also said she doesn't like small places, so maybe it's something about her first sexual experience? the height thing could be anything really, but I'm going to suggest that perhaps her first sexual experience was with Peasepud, his cessna terrified her, and when he lay atop of her she felt like she the whole world was coming in around her ears.... .....maybe 143401[/snapback] i can assure you i have no fear of the penis!!!

The Fish 10650 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I know a little about phobias but I wouldn't dare to say what triggers them as it could be a myriad of events in the past. thing is the anxiety attacks are not phobic attacks, according to my tutor there are subtle differences between the attack I describe and the symptoms of phobias.

Both are irrational fears, usually triggered by unpleasent memories (sometimes subconciuos) of past events, which manifest themselves as physical symptoms. Mind, I'm inclined to take a lot of psychology with a large pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10650 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 the thing is, a lot of really useful and insightful psychology is hidden under popular beliefs about it and also some real hack-ery. my major problem with Psychology is that there is no definitive theory or answer. they say that the best thing is to take bits from the various theories and muddle along the best you can. It would be wrong to dismiss it though, a lot of extremely valuable lessons can be learnt from the study of behaviour and reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10650 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 not only does it prepare you for questions like "Can I get a LArge quarter pounder meal with fries and a diet coke" but it also explains why they want the diet coke when the rest of the meal is so fat-batardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44006 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thing is though, when weight discussions have come up before, it's become all too apparent that Renton is a genuine fat bastard. I think the quote from someone was that they got the impression that "Gemmill was overweight, whilst Renton was a fat bastard". Fear of flying my arse. Fear of paying for two seats more like.
