What Phobias Do You Suffer From?

[Zero Beat]

Sorry if this is the wrong place. Please do move :)

I was just wondering how many people here suffer from a phobia, or more then one.

I suffer from: Autophobia. (fear of being alone)

[bluestarkidd]

That's what I suffer from. or Agoraphobia... I haven't had a panic attack in a few months but if you worry about it then you know how it is..Last summer my dad was in NYC and wanted me to go out there with him, so he had to fly from NYC to LA then I went back with him and to come back home he had to fly with me. It's really a pain in certain situations, I can be alone with people and places I am familiar with, but something new is a task..

Emetophobia
Pathophobia

[overcome.]

I can't actually find anything about it online, but I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist recently. I can't stand it and want to beat it. I will. One day... Until then to be perfectly honest, many aspects of my life are being put on hold.

[Delusion15]

The same OP

but also i have Pyro phobia. Lighters scare the crap out of me and anything else fire related

[mrmcdonaldduck]

arachnophobia
claustrophobia

thats pretty much it.

[Eclipse]

Don't know if this counts or is even a phobia, but I'm scared of butterflies and moths...

[Zero Beat]

Mottephobia is for moths, but there isnt one for butterflies, so i guess it would be classed as mottephobia.

[PaperFacesOnParade]

Coulrophobia!! Ugh D: That's clowns. Also Thanatophobia.

[deadpie]

agoraphobia - fear of open spaces
i also have a fear of open closets, i start screaming, crying, and going batshit insane if i see a closet open.

[Bougainvillea]

agoraphobia - fear of open spaces
i also have a fear of open closets, i start screaming, crying, and going batshit insane if i see a closet open.

Agoraphobia is hell, I was told by a doctor that I suffer from it, but later on was diagnosed by a psychiatrist for something different. I have two family members that aren't immediate family who suffer from agoraphobia. I know it must be hard on many aspects of life.

[cloudymatt]

Acrophobia, Arachnophobia, Claustrophobia.

[Giles]

agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces... not fear, just dislike
Claustrophobia- Fear of enclosed spaces... I actually like enclosed, small places.

[Lily of the Valley]

Fifty bucks says at least 40% of the people here claim to have a phobia of clowns.

But I'm super claustrophobic and...whatever heights is. I dunno. But I get really freaked out just walking down open stairs. It's pretty pathetic. :(

EDIT: I guess I have a fear of ventriloquist dummies? I dunno, my brother had one, and whenever it was out in his room I wouldn't go in the room at all. I was terrified of it. And phobia is defined as fear that is so persistent and strong the person goes out of their way to avoid the stimulus.

~Maggot

[overcome.]

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.

[Ghoti]

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.

[Ghoti]

Used to have Hydrophobia.
Fear of water?

[unknown2011]

i feel special because i don't have any phobias. XD.
at least if i do...i don't know them.

[Bougainvillea]

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.

[Sidekikguy14]

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

[Rutherford The Brave]

Fear of water?

Large bodies of water, almost drowned once. But I've fought my fear and now take anti anxiety pills

[YesterdaysNews]

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.

[clone]

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

[Lily of the Valley]

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.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.

[Uprising]

[Ghoti]

:clown: I think everyones scared of those :P

[clone]

ya and those other small brown highly poisones spiders o ya how did i not remember my fear of heights >.<

[gayguy1]

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

[Giles]

Have you ever actually been to TWPR?

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

[Aspiringanonymous]

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.

[Rutherford The Brave]

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

[cherry_boi]

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

[alex95]

i suffer from homobobia im scarred of retarded kids (this isn't anything funny im serious)and im scarred of dogs i see on the street (been chased over 5 times) so i dont have a good past

[wolfman775]

I am physicaly not scared of a single thing, never have been never will be.

[drumir93]

Anything that has to do with other peoples bodies ex) Getting spit on me, or having someones hair in my mouth. It makes me feel all twitchy and uneasy and leads to me washing myself for minutes.

"I am physicaly not scared of a single thing, never have been never will be." - wolfman775

So I suppose you wouldn't mind a knife to the face.

[Bougainvillea]

That would be more of a mental think, btw. ;)

[Speedy-D]

i think i suffer from clostaphobia

[SapphireDragon13]

Hmm... I'm not really afraid of anything, but that's just me...

~Jenelle

[Zero Beat]

~Jenelle

Ok, I understand why your posting this... But phobias arent just being scared or afraid of something. Some people are crippled by these phobias.

I am physicaly not scared of a single thing, never have been never will be.

Trust me, you can form a phobia.

[Matty.]

spider phobia ? i've forgotten the real name for it

[Zero Beat]

Thats Arachnophobia.

[Stevo 69]

im scarred of retarded kids (this isn't anything funny im serious)

You do realise that can cause offense, please refer to them as disabled


I have Arachnophobia, bloody hate spiders, small ones I can handle, but i can't stand the bigger ones.

[2D]

Entomophobia.

Specifically cockroaches.

[mrmcdonaldduck]

Entomophobia.

Specifically cockroaches.


you and me both

[luciia96]

mirrors...

and i also feel extremely anxious when I see the attractions of the amusement park stopped... xD but i think there's no kind of phobia for that

[Hatsune Miku]

To everybody who has Arachnophobia. You do know you eat about 12 spiders a year in your sleep right?

I have Arachnophobia. Ever since a spider laid eggs in my lamp and i woke up the next morning with like 100 little spiders crawling everywhere ._.

[ThatDude93]

I am sort of arachnophobic....I am fine as long as they aren't on me or in a place where they could easily get on me....lol

[Zero Beat]

To everybody who has Arachnophobia. You do know you eat about 12 spiders a year in your sleep right?

Ahhh... No wonder I wake up some times with a bad taste in my mouth. Here I was thinking it was my boyfriend :rolleyes: :P

To everybody who has Arachnophobia. You do know you eat about 12 spiders a year in your sleep right?


HOLY ****!
Crap crap crap crap... are you effing serious? O.O

Yep, I'll be perfectly able to sleep tonight o.O
Anyway...
Yeah... I'm the queen of anxiety disorders... :/ I have Social Anxiety Disorder as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, not to mention a noted possible personality disorder by my psychiatrist.
Arachnaphobic, bathophobic, selachophobic, astrophobic, acrophobic, claustrophobic, trypanophobic, apiphobic, and aviophobia. (I think I got them all =P)
Yep, I'm diagnosed. I'm seriously deadly afraid of spiders, deep water, sharks, outerspace, heights, small spaces, needles, wasps and bees, and flying.

[Banana Stickers]

Claustrophobia <-I think that's the name for it, correct me if I'm wrong (fear of not being able to get out). Trypanophobia (fear of pins and needles) and Tomophobia (fear of injections).

[AncientCatastrophe]

Coulrophobia- I never went in any childrens party with clowns, clowns make me sick especially their horrendous cursed circular red nose :blowup:

Necrophobia- I can't look at any dead body, thats why I'm scared of ghosts.......:blowup:

I'm also scared of the earth and vegetables, No just kidding :eek3:

[Jenna.]

I don't know the technical names for these & I honestly don't feel like looking them up so here are my phobias.

-Dying. (People close to me dying and myself dying) It absolutely terrifies me to no end. I've had panic attacks about it before.
-The ocean. (I love the beach, I just can't go IN the ocean. I had a near death experience and almost drowned when I was 13. So, obviously, it brings back bad memories for me. I'll go in up to my thighs that's it. One time my boyfriend tried to take me in and literally promised he'd hold me the whole time...didn't work. I ended up having a panic attack halfway in and he had to take me out.)
-Bugs. Oh my god...they scare me so much. For as much as I love being outside riding horses and swimming and stuff, I'm petrified of bugs. :[
-Small, windowless spaces like elevators and things like that. I don't know why....they never used to bother me when I was younger. But now I get anxious if I have to go in one without a window so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
-Mild social phobia. Its not anything bad that makes me a hermit or anything but I don't like large groups of people and I'm on the shyer side. I'd much rather hang out with 1 person than with a group. It makes me anxious and I can't fully relax and be myself. :/ I think "mild social anxiety" would actually be a better term to call it.

[Jean Poutine]

I have a phobia of stupidity. In other people.

I'm always scared nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about.

[Nostrum]

emetophobia, and thats about it.

though i am very scared of cockroaches, not a phobia though.

[Faithfull]

Claustrophobia - fear of small spaces
I cannot find what this is called but i'm terrified of Traffic Jams.
Also, and this is just odd... when i was small, i had a fear of... don't laugh, peanuts.

[DoveGreySands]

I have the pretty normal arachnaphobia and then a really wierd one; myxophobia the fear of slime, i just honestly can't stand it, it's so wierd and gloopy.

[Jenna.]

That's not as bad as my childhood fear. I was TERRIFIED, (and I mean TERRIFIED) of drains. I got over it when I was about 6 but for a few years before that it was awful. My mom had to force me into the tub and as soon as she started to drain it and the drain would make those gurgling sounds, I'd flip out. Its funny now but then it wasn't. =(

[LunacyFringe]

Social Anxiety Disorder.

Most people think I'm just weird due to my lack of social competence and I thought so too until a few months ago when I discovered that it's an actual disorder.

[jess_undead]

I think I have social anxiety order and OCD too.
I'm scared of washing up and touching things other people have touched.
Also, scared of being touched and I have a fear of abandonment/rejection.

[scuba steve]

i think i have mild Agoraphobia - as it's a fear of more open areas and im constantly looking round me when i'm outside or cant see any walls or blokades around me blocking the areas that i cannot see. this is why i chose the small room in my house as i can always tell that there is a wall around me.

[Dead_User]

Needles

[1_21Guns]

I don't actually suffer from any phobias really, fear doesn't have that much of an effect on me. I'm kinda scared of getting things wrong, doing things wrong and that kinda thing, but i wouldn't class it as a phobia really.

[thrust of trust]

i am scared of insects and frogs. ESPECIALLY FROGS. they just sit there with those black eyes and idk what the hell they're looking at. and the move so sudden with the hopping its freaky to me. and those things can sit still for hours and days. it can die right there and you will think that it's still alive. i damn sure wouldn't wanna check.

who can top this fear??

[KChiChi]

claustrophobic... freaky scared of cocroaches(sp.. wow, i haven't spelt that word in a while) but i don't know what it's called.
