I have tons of phobias but it doesn't effect me as much as it should. Here's a list.
- Open waters (I refuse to look down a bridge or swim in an ocean)
- Big dogs (Can't get near them but will watch them)
- Spiders (AHAHAHA, I'm terrified of being near them)
- The Dark (I'm extremely uncomfortable in the dark and my imagination doesn't help things)
There could be more, but I can't recall it. What are your phobias and how do they effect you? c:
Even though I often refuse to call any of my fears phobias, I think I might have a phobia of syringes. Injections are the worst things to experience and there has been fainting every time one , in the worst cases more than once.
Another strong fear of mine is serious diseases and I spend a fair share of time worrying about every little symptom and oddity. Once the fear of having meningitis (because of having reoccurring headaches) got so intense that I might have had a panic attack and couldn't stand up for a while.
Emetophobia (fear of vomiting/being around people who are vomiting)
Also if there's a word for a fear of upsetting people I definitely have that...like if I send a text/email and someone doesn't reply I feel sick because I'm worried I said something wrong and then I'll have dreams about that person being mad at me rip
Or maybe that's just anxiety
Nosophobia - Fear of contracting a disease
Claustrophobia - Fear of feeling suffocated/ being unable to get of something (a crowd, elevator)
Acrophobia - Fear of heights.
The third one was brought on because I almost died on a fair ride a few years ago, the other two don't need to be explained.

ive had nosophobia for years and its really put a toll on me lol.. i also used to have somniphobia (afraid of sleeping) and it still effects me too sometimes
Flying bugs and spiders being NEAR me, like I can appreciate spiders but please stay away spider friends.
Aliens, too much unknown and I've had too many "things" happen without explanation so it just freaks me out, movies like Signs and The Fourth Kind just mess me up fam...
Syringes/Medical things in general. No, it's not the needles that scare me, I have piercings and tattoos, its the being injected, or having my blood taken, mostly due to ties to medical things and I can't stand it. I turn into a giant baby every time.
Two big ones I know of that affect my daily life are butterflies and small spaces. I'm very claustrophobic that it's hard to take public transport during rush hour and I can't fly without somehow knocking myself out for the whole journey. The butterfly thing sounds crazy but I will run into incoming traffic if one flies into my face and I can't look at photographs of them either. Over the years, playing ACNL has helped me a little with the butterfly thing but I will still hold the 3DS far from my face when the character "shows off" the insect lol.
Yeah, I'm very paranoid about illnesses and germs lol, though mostly about fatal/statistically improbable things. All part of that ocd package I guess. Also flying. And basically every other way to die, haha!
It's not exactly a phobia but I'm terrified of ever being out of my mind, even if at that point I wouldn't realize it.
Needles, they give me the worst anxiety attacks!
Dentists...nonono I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and I have to be sedated(like, knocked out) to get fillings
Extremely small spaces
I always fear someone(not a duck) is watching me
Sexual activities
3/5 of these are from medical people trying to help me ahahahaha so helpful ahahaha sarcasm
Ive got a couple phobia's, Im a little Somniphobic (fear of sleeping) thought that's gotten better a little over the past few years, but ive had sleeping problems for about 14 years. Mirrors, Weather Sirens, Death.. for sure lol.
