What Phobias Do You Suffer From?

I have to say, I highly doubt that people actually suffer from so many things. Yeah, there's things you don't like, but ask yourself if you get phobia symptoms on all of them, like in extreme cases where it's actually recognised as a phobia, you'd know about it. People are clearly categorising common dislikes as phobias.

fear of snakes, sharks, insects, falling, rejection, fear of being tortured, shot, stabbed, made fun of, fear of massive conspiracies, fear of atomic bombs, fear of hell, fear of heart attacks, fear of death.

That applies to some people, yes. But if actually knew some of us, you would understand that some of us just so happened to have experiences as children with these things.

I think maybe hydrophobia, I am really afraid of large bodies of water, and hate going into them( I barely do) I think this is bcuz my parents bought me a book about the titanic when I was younger, and ever since I've been afraid of the sight of below water, and really deep water, and boats
Im also afraid of heights, and im rlly claustrophobic

Eisoptrophobia.
Fear of mirrors.
I first disliked them and then I went into one of those weird mirror mazes... I started having a panic attack and broke down while my mom and friend dragged me out. I'm okay when I'm with someone around like just a normal mirror, but being alone with a mirror in the room scares the shit out of me.
Same goes for windows. Defenestraphobia.

those are pretty much my only real phobias, I have other things that I feel afraid or uneasy about but aren't as bad like:
Arrhenphobia - Fear of men (even my relatives, although I'm getting better)
Autophobia - Fear of being alone.

hydrophobia and i hate clowns ugh clowns... bad experiences
i have more but i cant remember so ill post more later

But that doesn't necessarily result in a phobia. A person can be uncomfortable, uneasy, or even afraid of something without it being considered a phobia. Not to mention, with some of the lengths of these lists, some of these people must have had the fucking unluckiest childhoods ever.

Fear of heights and death

I am afraid of flying insects like moths, snakes totally freak me out. Anytime I saw one and had a gun, I open fire and try to kill it. heights and enclosed spaces like mine shafts scare me. I have this fear that some jealous dude will cut off my dick or at least try to circumcize me

Have you ever actually been to TWPR?

Actually, a fear/dislike is(in extreme cases) still classed as a phobia.

Gametophobia, or fear of marriage; for me, it seems, more or less extending to the concept of family and committed human relationships in general. Other than that, the usuals - spiders, ants, insects... when I was younger, I used to be deathly afraid of the number '0'. It felt like a black hole of sorts, open and posed to swallow me.

I also have the fear that somewere a duck is watching me.

i am terrified of snakes, absolutely terrified, thinking of them right now makes me uneasy :/
