What are Your Phobias?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm scared of school, people, snakes, gaining weight, rats and mice, small spaces, crocodiles and alligators

Any bug of any kind, shoes that are too tight, elevators, getting things stuck in doors (ex: finger in car door ), rejection, failure, making eye contact with people, heights, loud noises (including a person's voice), etc.

Okay, this is a weird one: Big letters, or words such as "impossible", in books. For some reason this really scared me, especially when lying in bed at night. I avoided books with these features.

More "normally": Deep water/drowning, most carnival rides, getting bad grades, sickness, heights, dogs (though I'm much better with them than I used to be).

I'm Scared of People, Oshawott, and Chaos!

I'm scared of fire, realistic blood and guts, and heights.

Hi! I have a phobia of chicken (cooked and raw), most meats (if you haven't guessed I am vegetarian), ladders, anything damp, open windows, insects of all kinds (especially spiders), towels, big crowds and germs. Just a question for everyone: how do all of you cope with your phobias as I am finding it very hard at school and social situations when some of my phobias overlap. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks

Balloons and nukes... though I'm also fascinated by both and spend more hours than is sane contemplating them. They are like two sides of the same scorched coin.

Bugs. I've tried to rationalize it away, but I immediately flip out if one lands on me.

Can't stand heights even when it's not a particularly big one and i hate bugs well i'm fine with them....just so long as i don't know their there.

Phobias as in real, actual things I'm intensely terrified of?

Well then.

I have emetophobia, which is, as stupid as it sounds, the fear of vomit. Yes. And it's AWFUL.

A really bad fear of the dark. I can't slee without a nightlight, and even then it's bad.

And... another stupid one, ordering at restaurants. My parents don't seem to understand, but I just can't. Sometimes I can, but then I stumbled through it and end up getting soemthing I didn't want because I said the wrong thing. That's another awful one.

I've got horrible emetophobia. Also, I'm terrified of bees and other stinging organisms. I have a deep-seated fear that one day I'll be stung, and just randomly become allergic.

That I'm a perversion not made in God's image and that I cause misery to everyone I met and God himself.

My phobias are...
Talking in public, heights, I go back and forth on germaphobia which started when I was sick a lot, I was agoraphobic really bad at one point primarily because I hate strangers, the weirdest on is being afraid of large objects or things larger than another object or large and round which i get that fear mostly when i am having certain headaches. This last fear is the that bugs me the most because i can't figure out a cause.

Does anybody else get weird fears when they are sick or have headaches/migraines?

>Does anybody else get weird fears when they are sick or have headaches/migraines?

Well I think if you have a headache it adds on stress which might cause panic.
