Share your phobia (however weird)

[drizzt360]

My only major phobia is people finding out about my minor phobias.

[Havatchu]

I’m afraid I will never find Toonami again.

[Gigas_Breaker]

thats not really a phobia tho…

no one is looking forward to getting old and useless. it must suck ass when you cant even walk properly. I get depressed when I look at old people thinking someday I will be JUST like that and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

I sometimes think about what hard limit I might set for myself age wise before I commit suicide. I probably won’t though because that’s dumb.

Reasons I’m afraid of the Ocean(images from Cracked.com and others).

They’re learning how to walk! Damn you evolution, for making my fears more real.

Public speaking. (which is what my new job consists of)

-_-

[shinquickman]

Cockroaches. More like I hate them intently rather than “fear” them, but hate is a form of fear I suppose…

Fear of rejection too, which I really gotta get over.

Just like there are pet peeves, I have pet phobias. I’m not afraid of the dark, nor am I afraid of (most) insects, but I hate eating in the dark in fear that bugs may get in my food.

Wasps have always made me flip out.
Most likey because of the fact we had a hive growing in our attic when I was 5 and you could hear them through the night.
Still gives me fucking chills.

Um, wasps are inactive at night.

Trypanophobia. It’s the reason I ain’t ever shooting up on heroin, ever.

Also, cockroaches.

Cool thread.

I have a fear of bleeding I guess? When I see my own blood I get dizzy, lightheaded and tunnel vision. I have come very close to totally blacking out but I have managed to litterally shake myself out of it on those occasions so far. It’s kind of a recent development(the last year or so is when I noticed it), but I don’t know where it came from. It might happen with other peoples blood too, but movie blood doesn’t bother me at least.

phobophobia (fear of fear itself)

I believe JFK had that one.

Initially the term phobia was only used to denote irrational fears in spite of the logical awareness of the lack of any demonstrable threat of harm. Now the additional definition of merely a strong aversion or dislike is accepted as well. I think the OP is talking about the former definition moreso, since the post was about knowing there was likely no real danger but still experiencing the physiological signs of extreme fear and anxiety.

I’m moderately obsessed with the mind-body paradox so my irrational fears are definitely things like going blind, going insane, and especially being trapped in sensory prisons. The worst thing I can imagine is being immortal but blind, deaf, unable to speak or make any sound, and buried alive.

Spiders and snakes. I also have a fear of having to engage someone in small talk.

[iShotto]

Needles. FUUUUUUCKING hate needles. I can man it up if i need a shot or anything but i get pale, my heart rate goes crazy and i can’t watch the shot. The scene in Saw 2 where she falls into the pit is the only one i couldn’t watch.

Reasons I’m afraid of the Ocean (fucking ugly fish)

what will really scare you is that some of these are barely even in the ocean.

i saw one of these ugly bastards in egypt

and the thing was in barely a foot of water (i think it was just up to my knees) while people waddled around in the shallows all around this thing not having a clue it was even there. and these things are some of the most venomous fish in the world too. and it was just chilling the fuck out a few meters from the beach. i got a whole bunch of photos of it and videos too of it walking around the sea bed.

i just read the wikipedia entry on it too. nasty shit. can survive out of water for 24 hours as well, so it barely even sounds like a fish.

[skiie]

I fear of little insects crawling in my body and laying eggs of some sort.

I dont think anyone here has a REAL phobia because those are like where the person will atart freakin out or break a sweat jut hearing or thinking about what they fear.

But anyway, i really hate roaches. The rest of the bugs are annoying, but i have a huge fear of roaches. People exploit it often once they know too. Hate it.

We have phobias, maybe not severe phobias, but we’re still afraid of the things we said.

At least to the point of not wanting to be around them and fleeing and/or trying hit them until they die or go away.

The tiny bitch ones? Or the real big ass motherfuckers. All I can do is leave the room if they are anywhere near and try not to make them mad.

nah the small ones I can hang with. ive even smashed one with my hand once. but anything getting in the realm of “kinda big/medium” i cant fuck with.

[Skeletroll]

People with extreme deformities. I can handle prosthetic and missing limbs, but I cringe when I see things like the Motaro baby.

3 frame uppercuts. Terrifying.
