Phobias

[Crystalbear]

Not so much of a phobia, but I'm kinda afraid of being around horses.

They're big animals, and I'd never want to ride one in fear of scaring it, and then there would be no controlling it...

[Remolay]

I actually made a list. Turns out it's incomplete, but I'm to tired to add to it.

Sharp objects
Spiders
Thunder and Lightning
Lonliness (I'll be that person with a thousand cats)
Failing
Tight spaces
Vomiting (it's gross and it feels horrible)
Public speaking
People I have not met
Being touched (Except for handshakes, Fine with that)
Weapons
Being unable to respond when family needs me
Fear itself
Bees
Snakes
News media
Non-existence (Basically me being existential)
Furbys
Rain (seriously)
and Death, for want of a better term.

needles.... needles..... needles.... escpecially those from injections, i just cant stand them DX

[YakkitySax]

Losing my teeth. That is one of the scariest thoughts to me.

Social Phobia (which is, quite surprisingly, the technical term). It's pretty much the fear of being seen negatively, or being judged, in social situations.

Oh, actually, I thought of one. I can't throw up. I get so paranoid. If I just feel nauseus I need to go home from school, because if I throw up in PUBLIC I will die. Like literally I will just fall down and die. Just throwing up at home makes me cry, and I get so panicked and stressed. And afterwards I'm panicked and stressed, and it usually ends up with me hyperventilating and fainting. Because fuck throwing up.

I don't like needles either, nor do I like the thought of being completely alone without no one to rely on. I think it's more a fear of the actual abandonement, like, people consciously leaving me because I've done something/they hate me/they're dicks. They're not phobias though, just fears.

I had a mild phobia of moths until this summer. Strangely enough just got over it.

I'm afraid of heights, but I really wouldn't call it a phobia. Rather, it's a healthy respect for being in situations that have the potential to kill me.

Loosing my teeth has been a reoccurring nightmare of mine. It does, however, encourage me to take better care of my teeth.

Yeah, I've had nightmares where my teeth are loose and they'd fall out. It's probably due to Fight Club. That scene made me cringe.

tentacles.

[SRQ]

Men.

And getting into fights.

Well like the previous phobia threads, veins. specifically the ones on wrists and I was surprised this is common enough to have it's own name (which I keep forgetting what it's called, so I guess it doesn't affect me that much I'd need to even mention it to anyone irl). But if I see emo pics of people cutting themselves or just anything slashing their wrists, I die a little on the inside.

And I don't know if this has a name, but I don't like sharing personal details about myself to people. If a relationship is getting too intimate I tend to cut it and run.

This, a lot more than I'd thought. even ones I've been open and shared many personal things it was still not as truly opened about everything about me, I always have the thought that noone really cares or I'd be ridiculed behind my back, sometimes I tried to get over that and mention one minor thing as a "trial" to see the reaction, then feel stupid and think "yep they don't have any interest! I'll pretend that never hapened and go back to saying stupid things! the usual!" and at the worse cases completely close myself when I feel everyone is "out there to get me". It's a horrible cycle, I'd make a joke about it, but I can't.

[Crystalbear]

Fear itself

Not trying to criticize you or anything, but this kinda reminds me of that one phobia that I can never take seriously. Phobiaphobia, the fear of having a phobia.

Thing is, having Phobiaphobia means you do have a phobia, because of fear of phobias. And because you have Phobiaphobia, you therefore have Phobiaphobiaphobia. And because of that fear, you also have Phobiaphobiaphobiaphobia. It's a never ending cycle.

...Jokes aside though.

[Hunterkirizaki]

The dark.

Don't like going out alone at night.

[RyoSoulreaper]

tentacles.

But Yakkety is awesome. D:

Spiders because I'm boring. The little bitty ones I'm okay with, I'll usually just let them chill in the corner or push them outside or whatever, but if they get bigger than a pencil eraser, I won't touch them. Bigger than a bottlecap, and I might actually have a heart attack from being in the same room as them. Every day I thank my lucky stars that tarantulas are not native to New York.

Spoiler! :

And then a friend of mine will pop in and remind me that we do get wolf spiders because my friends are douches--

About a month after I first moved into my apartment, I was terrorized by this giant spider about two inches across. It hid out in there for at least three months. Every time I thought it was gone for good, it would resurface in some random location, like behind the garbage can, or in front of the bathroom, or in the corner of the door panel right next to my bare foot. My sister never saw it, and wouldn't believe me when I told her about it. I named it Spiderzilla.

Eventually, poor Spiderzilla decided to show up when my sister was around. She smushed it with a boot while I was busy screaming I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU. I almost feel bad for it. There's still a stain on the carpet from it.

I'm also afraid of driving, and still do not and probably will never have my driver's license. I don't trust other drivers at all, and the only time I ever went faster than 5MPH, the car shot out of my control and hit a support beam. I, genius that I am, immediately let go of the wheel to cover my face as soon as it crashed.

Also nipple piercings. Yeah, my phobias are pretty vanilla.
