Do you have any phobias?

Fear of heights, the usual.

Yeah, my phobia is one of the most common I believe, but there is still a lot of judgement around it. It affects my life daily, I wish there was a way to overcome it.

I saw someone on TV who had a fear of tomatoes.

He was afraid if he touched one, it would squirt juice in his eyes. >..<

Social phobia, nyctophobia, sciophobia, and phasmophobia. Fear of dark, shadows, and ghosts. Night time is fun for me, lemme tell you.

I am going to say I fear pain because all of my fears seem to be about pain like getting a shot at the doctors or fear of heights because I am afraid I will fall.

For me, it's definitely insects. I can't stand being near any of them. Even butterflies and ladybugs will make me feel a little uneasy if I look at them for too long. I've feared insects before I knew how to crawl. They just disgust me so much. However, if I'm outside then it's kind of expected to run into a bug at some point so I try not to make a big deal about it. They still scare me though. My phobia goes up a lot if I find one inside. Just nope, nope, nope.

Another one for me is emetophobia (fear of vomiting/being around people who are vomiting). The smell makes me feel sick and I really dislike the feeling of nausea. It's really unsettling. I'll gladly help if a loved one is vomiting but I'll do my best not to look and not focus on the smell.

• Fear of insanity
• Fear of death

And then I have a slight fear of heights which I'm getting over as I grow it seems.

Spider and most bugs, needles or anything medical in that matter, public speaking,and can't forget the most terrifying one. Public restrooms.

 

[allainah]

I have a phobia of really small spaces, and any bug buzzing in my ear freaks me out even if it's just a fly. ALso murky water, like being in water where you can't see what's beneath you EVEN in the bathtub. I can't take a bath with bubbles or I get terrified.


i'm also diagnosed with "social phobia" (aka social anxiety) but i dont really see it as a phobia

 

[Mink777]

Banshees freak me out, and to be more realistic, heights.

Bears. I have a fear of getting attacked when me and my family go camping. I also get scared walking in the alleys at night. There have been a few bear sightings ( they get in the trash) in my town a few months ago.

Bear scare story. I went to this town for the weekend with my siblings to attend their annual horror festival. It's super fun, and we watch scary movies at the theatre all weekend. One night, we were walking back to our hotel, and took a shortcut through the alley. We were talking and not paying attention, and walked right up to this huge bear that was digging in the trash. We all turned around ( I'll never forget the horror on my sisters faces.lol. ), and quickly walked away. The funny thing is, we had just watched a movie with a bear killing everyone earlier that day. All I kept thinking as I was walking away was how I didn't want to die by bear attack. Lol.
