phobia thread

Height not gonna look down, walking on a bridge over express or motor way. Fine with plane

Even videos where spiders are getting bodied make me think ewwww why would you touch that let alone eat it gross other bug or animal!

Being broke.

Must suck having to live your entire life afraid.

Spiders (aracno like spiders) and that my old P.E. teacher will haunt my dreams :S
Psicolocally is that I would go to bankrupt and dying alone.

Snaaaaaaaake’s mom & all the other Snaaaaaakes - Too many fucking close encounters with these fuckers…Since majority of my childhoood consist living in the damn jungles. You got snaaaakes crossing the fucking street & shit…I was 3rd grade some Snake man came to the school & showed us all these different kind of snakes. The first one was a cobra, a fucking cobra. The second one was a copperhead, he had the snake pop a balloon with that shit & then a big ass fuckin python that he had everyone grab & pick up…Of course he had one more special snake…He told us it was the most dangerous snake ever because it would jump on people…So he mad sure everyone was quiet as he opened the box…Guess what, a fucking fake ass plastic snake popped out of the box & landed on my lap. I screamed & cried like a little bitch & do that every time i see a snaaaake.

Fear of falling - I was playing near a cliff looking down the ocean without any rails…While i was looking straight down someone tried to pretend to push me down the cliff but ended up grabbing me instead. Ever since then im always afraid of falling from elevators, bridges, boats, bunk beds, etc…

Cracks and tears.

Been scared of them since forever.

highway accidents. i’ve seen some really bad ones on my rides back home. its scary to think that it could all happen in a few seconds and leave me horribly disfigured or disabled for the rest of my life.

someone looking through my internet history or computer files. i discovered porno too early in my adolescence and now the normal stuff dosen’t get me going like it used to. i’ve developed all sorts of weird fetishes

finding out i’m sterile <10 years from now because of an untreated STD or genetic defect. i went raw dog on some girls in college. i should get an std test just in case

My biggest fear is RDS.
That’s Restless Developers Syndrome.
RDS is defined as the moment when developers start tinkering with their own projects through unwanted updates that cause more issues than they fix.

Dude that one is kinda true for me as well. I remember having nightmares about becoming homeless and shit. That’s really scary. :tup:

my wife has a phobia. something about the fear of holes or patterns of holes. theres a name for it that i wont google search

its actually a really common phobia that most people dont realize that they have. you just get an uneasy feeling from certain hole patterns

google it at your own risk. my wife looked into it and the images forced her into hyper ventilation

rotting away in a cubicle living a life of insignificance. maybe not a phobia but it causes me daily anxiety

fuck heights
fuck 99% of insects
fuck spiders again too just in case

Awww man. All this unwarranted hate on spiders. True, some of them can kill you for fun, but some of them are bros. Y’all just racist.

Take the NOPE or Spiderbro test:

Falling and drowning scare me pretty badly since both situations take away control from you. When you are falling from like say space onto a planet, there is no doubt you are going to die.

Trypophobia.

Shit weirds me out when it’s stuff in nature like a honeycomb or insect nests, but I don’t go into hyperventilation or freak out. Just makes my skin crawl a bit. Holes in skin and wounds fuck with me too. I was not too thrilled looking at that bullet wound/giant wasp sting image that @Manx posted earlier.

Wait, reading it on wiki right now and it says:

I guess by this definition I have trypophobia. Should not have googled it. Saw some honeycombs and other shit and now my skin won’t stop crawling. FML

I have mnemophobia, if i have my terminology correct. The common definition is the fear of memories. But it is also recognized as a fear of losing memories. That shit scares me. Mostly because my grandfather developed dementia. But anyway im very conscious of how my personal experiences have shaped my personality, the way i speak, the way I act, the way I react to certain things, and the kind of lessons I’ve learned. In short I’m afraid of becoming somebody other than myself

Tony Romo and Eli Manning have Orakpophobia.

i’m afraid of all sorts of insects , but not afraid of spiders oddly enough.

Penises aren’t really scary. They’re actually pretty funny looking most of the time.
