I found a website, (well a few) that listed phobias, and I know I have a lot of weird phobias, so I want to see if some of you can relate.

I would post a link to the websites, but I do not know if it's allowed.

Just search on google or somewhere "list of phobias".

Here is a list of literally all of mine:

Topophobia: Fear of certain places. Fear of performing ("Stage Fright")
Tokophobia: Fear of pregnancy or childbirth
Tomophobia: Fear of surgical operations
Theophobia: Fear of gods or religion.
Thanatophobia: Fear of death or dying
Taphephobia: Fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries.
Stygiophobia: Fear of hell.
Scopophobia: Fear of being seen or looked at.
Rhypophobia: Fear of filth
Peladophobia: Fear of baldness
Pantophobia: Fear of everything. A nonspecific fear; A state of general anxiety
Onomatophobia: Fear of hearing a certain word or words, or name or names.
Mysophobia: Fear of dirt or contamination.
Monopathophobia: Fear of sickness in a specific part of the body
Limnophobia: Fear of lakes. (I am generally scared of large bodies of water or big open grassy fields).
Kopophobia: Fear of fatigue. Fear of mental or physical examination
Kenophobia: Fear of empty spaces
Hydrophobia: Fear of water
Genophobia: Fear of sex.
Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces.
Arrhenphobia: Fear of men
Aphephobia: Fear of touching or being touched
Aibohphobia: Fear of palindromes (which is a palindrome, by the way)
Demophobia: Fear of crowds
Trypophobia: scared of clustered holes usually found on various biological organisms
Hylophobia: Scared of trees, forests, etc.

Some of these phobias have more than one word.
I am also scared of riddles, (sometimes) but I could not find that.
Yeah, I am a weird person. Don't judge me.

damn son thats a lot of fears. i cant really think of anything im afraid of. i guess i could be glossaphobic (not sure if proper spelling; i am on my phone so i cant open a new tab and check) which is the fear of public speaking. cant stand that shit. my hands start shaking harder then a old wagon with its wheels taken off going down a road made of brenders all set to puree.

I've got something close to Tokophobia, but I wouldn't be afraid to be pregnant, or to have a baby, I'm just afraid of pregnant women. Ugh, that freaks me out.

Lot of phobias. I have arachnophobia, but only with the large ones. It's getting less severe with time (at least I think it is).

Sciurophobia - Fear of Squirrels.
Haemophobia - Fear of Blood.

I have fears of heights and snakes. I don't care if there are "good" snakes. The only good snake to me is a dead one, and out of my vicinity. I also have a fear of a lot of social situations. Totally losing control of my body is another fear of mine.

I'm not sure if there's a name for this, but I think what I fear the most is being forgotten. I'm afraid that someday after I'm out of high school or if I move away, everyone I know will just replace me with some other person and forget about me. Maybe you could even say I fear I'm not important to anyone, disposable, easy to replace. I've moved before too, and so everyday I'll see a picture of my old friends and think "they look so happy without me. Do they miss me? Do they still think about me like I do them?" I guess it's silly, but sometimes it really bothers me.

Emetophobia is an intense, irrational fear or anxiety of or pertaining to vomiting

That's what I have. Every time you even make a sound that seems like you're vomiting I get out of the way so fast.

I forgot about that one...thanks for reminding me! I actually got yelled at by my parents when I was younger because my sister threw up and instead of going to my room or helping in the situation I started crying and freaking out. I was actually frozen in place and having trouble breathing. Then I avoided her like the plague for a week and a half. It's not as bad now, but I'm still afraid of other people...vomiting.

My best friend has that too. She had some traumatizing experience involving a girl vomiting on her in elementary school and she freaks out about it now, even if you just say you're feeling sick.

I'm terrified of flying insects, typically bees, wasps, hornets, flies, etc. though mostly the ones that can sting or otherwise hurt me. I once hid in the bathroom for twenty minutes because there was a fly in my room. I'm also afraid of going down slides after my own traumatic experience in 5th grade and I'm afraid of public speaking - I start shaking and after a little too long, I can't speak because I can't catch my breath.

I had one pretty bad claustrophobic episode a few years ago, but it hasn't happened again since and it had never happened before that.

That's exactly me! My sis got the stomach flu, and I avoided her for over a week. Every time she threw up I covered my ears to block out the noise.

I have a lot of general fears of things but the
one actual phobia is of roller coasters. You would
have to hog tie me to get me on one. When I started
getting panic attacks I was put on Xanax. Well we finally
went to Magic Mountain on a California vacation which is
pure roller coasters. I had a feeling if I got looped on Xanax
I would be able to get on one. I was right and loved all of them.
But I will still start freaking out if I'm in line for one if I don't
take Xanax. Weird.

I've had Arachnophobia ever since I saw a huge spider in a neighbor's backyard, and I had nightmares about it for a ridiculously long time. Since then, I panic whenever I see a spider, regardless of the size. And everyone makes fun of me because of it. -_-

I also get freaked out by bugs in general. Just Googled it, apparently it's called entomophobia. It's not as bad as my arachnophobia (meaning I don't lose my shit when I see an ant), but larger insects, or insects I've never seen before can really freak me out.

I think Limnophobia applies to me. Everyone likes to look at the Ocean, but I dislike it for some reason. It just makes me uneasy. Same goes for fields. If I'm in like Kansas and I can only see fields wherever I look, then I get an eerie feeling.

Technophobia- Fear of technology
I think my mum has this but I'm perfectly fine...

I have fished out all from that list that apply to me:

PARTLY THIS:
Achluophobia- Fear of darkness
Whenever it is dark with not much lighting I have to hide under the covers. Like... I'm on the computer in the dark and the only thing showing light is my computer, I have to cover most of my body

Algophobia- Fear of pain

Anuptaphobia- Fear of staying single
If I had this I would probably be dead by now.

Aphenphosmphobia- Fear of being touched
In some cases. I hate being touched on the shoulder by teachers and stuff...

DEFINITELY THIS
Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders
But it only really bugs me seeing the spiders you get in the bathroom... I've seen some pictures of bigger spiders on Daily Mail before and I think they look pretty awesome tbh (but please don't show me anymore)

Atychiphobia- Fear of failure

Catagelophobia- Fear of being ridiculed
I don't know about this. Depends how much I know the person

Clinophobia- Fear of going to bed
Haha I hate sleeping.

Disposophobia- Fear of throwing stuff out. Hoarding
I get this a lot. I still have a blanket that I've had for my whole life (as far as I can remember anyway) and a lot of teddies from the past in the back of my room. It looks untidy but comfortable :3

Enochlophobia- Fear of crowds

Gelotophobia- Fear of being laughed at
Again, depends how well I know the person

Gerascophobia- Fear of growing old

Glossophobia- Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak

Iatrophobia- Fear of going to the doctor or of doctors

Ophthalmophobia- Fear of being stared at

Testophobia- Fear of taking tests

I'm not sure that you guys know what is a phobia. It's not just a fear. It's something that disables you, it's something that makes your life look like hell, it's absolutely awful.

Not just "oh yeah I don't like spider, and guess what the other day there was one on my shoulder I didn't even notice it hihihi isn't it so funny?" but more like screams and tears and shaking when you see one spider, even in picture. It's something violent.

I have Emetophobia – fear of vomiting, and School phobia (I couldn't find it in the list but I assume that's how you call it ?), which is fear of school.

Pseudodysphagia is mine. Fear of choking. It often gives me panic attacks that make me feel like... I'm choking.

Also, it's not actually a phobia unless it impacts your life very significantly. We all have fears, but we only have 1 or 2 phobias usually, if any.

I know exactly what you mean. I know this was two months ago, but I had to respond. Just looking at a big open area like an ocean or a field scares the crap out of me because it's like I don't know if it ever ends, or what is in the ocean/field.

Selachophobia- Fear of sharks. I'm sooo panicked when I see one in a picture. I sometimes scream but always fall back in my chair and cover my eyes.

I have a fear of losing any of my senses. If I became deaf, or blind, etc, I think I would kill myself. I can't imagine living without them. Life wouldn't be worth living.
I also have a fear of being single forever. Nobody has ever really loved me back. I always end up with the broken heart. It has damaged my being, and I don't think i'll ever be able to be in a relationship and keep it healthy. I just haven't accepted that I'm going to always be alone yet. I'm hopeless.

I feel so cold

Oh my god, I know exactly what you mean. If I were deaf I would not be able to listen to music. If I were blind I wouldn't be able to watch anime...oh God that would be bad. Especially the music part...I would die.

Atychiphobia- Fear of failure

Did not know that this was a thing. Failing, or more to the point, having to atone for my failures legitimately messes me up more than the death of family members.

I found a website, (well a few) that listed phobias, and I know I have a lot of weird phobias, so I want to see if some of you can relate.

I would post a link to the websites, but I do not know if it's allowed.

Just search on google or somewhere "list of phobias".

Here is a list of literally all of mine:

Topophobia: Fear of certain places. Fear of performing ("Stage Fright")
Tokophobia: Fear of pregnancy or childbirth
Tomophobia: Fear of surgical operations
Theophobia: Fear of gods or religion.
Thanatophobia: Fear of death or dying
Taphephobia: Fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries.
Stygiophobia: Fear of hell.
Scopophobia: Fear of being seen or looked at.
Rhypophobia: Fear of filth
Peladophobia: Fear of baldness
Pantophobia: Fear of everything. A nonspecific fear; A state of general anxiety
Onomatophobia: Fear of hearing a certain word or words, or name or names.
Mysophobia: Fear of dirt or contamination.
Monopathophobia: Fear of sickness in a specific part of the body
Limnophobia: Fear of lakes. (I am generally scared of large bodies of water or big open grassy fields).
Kopophobia: Fear of fatigue. Fear of mental or physical examination
Kenophobia: Fear of empty spaces
Hydrophobia: Fear of water
Genophobia: Fear of sex.
Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces.
Arrhenphobia: Fear of men
Aphephobia: Fear of touching or being touched
Aibohphobia: Fear of palindromes (which is a palindrome, by the way)
Demophobia: Fear of crowds
Trypophobia: scared of clustered holes usually found on various biological organisms
Hylophobia: Scared of trees, forests, etc.

Some of these phobias have more than one word.
I am also scared of riddles, (sometimes) but I could not find that.
Yeah, I am a weird person. Don't judge me.

That is a lot of fears! Some of those triggers are actually very common to encounter! If it negatively impacts on your life, have you considered seeing a psychologist to help you with them?
