What phobias do you have or have you had?

[リッキー]

I am intensely opposed to touching chalk and using it on a chalkboard. I hate the feeling, the sound, and anything like it; it sends shivers down my spine. Thank God, I was born in the whiteboard age!

[sugarburn]

Lately this place is like the anime psych outpatient clinic!

Until I was 10 or 11 years old I was phobic about asking adults for help. I would go through any misery to avoid letting them know there was anything I needed. Might have been related to fear of ridicule, katagelophobia. But you can acquire an aversion to anything. I love bananas, but there was a long time when I couldn't choke one down for anything on earth.

Not long ago I got over loathing spiders, which is good because they're all over this place 12 months a year. What did it was, I suddenly realized that more than anything else, they were little mechs. Their front ends are like dune buggies with full racks of lights. This is hard to explain, but now I am terribly impressed with how well-designed they are, and how cleverly they solve their survival problems.

Aflac!

I don't feel like looking up the scientific names for my phobias. Sorry.

The fear of stepping on a crack, because I'm afraid it will break my grandma's back. Just kidding.

*The fear of being burned alive, because I think that would be an extremely painful death.
*The fear of drowning, because I have almost died twice from that. Once, when I didn't know how to tread water when I was little, and another time in my teen years when my left foot got tangled in some weeds after I dived deep into the water for fun off a boat to get some pretty lily-pad flowers.
*Going to the dentist, seeing the dentist. Why? When my mom was 16, she need to have her wisdom teeth pulled. The doctor did not put in enough novocaine on the second tooth that he needed to pull. My mom felt her nerves snap, felt him pulled out her second wisdom tooth. Right after he pulled it out, my mom snapped up, and immediately punched him in the face and walked back home crying hysterically. She couldn't stop crying for 3 hours. She was in so much shock from that experience. I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled out when I was 17, and when the dentist put in the novocaine, I could feel him digging the huge needle around in my cheeks. It was so creepy that I got a panic attack from it, but after he took the needle out, they gave me the laughing gas right away, and I passed out.
*Most blood sucking things. I am scared of leeches, parasites, ticks. I can touch leeches to put one on a hook to use a bait for fishing, but if I'm swimming and I get one on me, it freaking scares me. Parasites, leeches are a parasite. My sister got ringworm or some parasitic thing in her body, so that just made my phobia worse. She has to take pills for it now. When I was 5, my mom was combing my hair, and found a tick that looked like a grape and the size of a quarter sucking blood from my head. She pulled it off, which hurt, and it fell on the floor. She stomped on it, and it gushed more then a gusher. Also, my sister extremely made my phobia way worse for ticks. Last Summer, my sister got Lyme's Disease from a deer tick biting her in a forest not to far from our house. I was living in California at the time, and when I found this out, I was so upset that I moved back to Minnesota. Thankfully, my dad was able to get her to the hospital before it was too late for her to be cured. Vampires are a blood sucking thing. Do you think I like them? Nope. I'm scared of them too.

It's not really a fear, but I hate not having a spot(it doesn't matter if it's a booth) by a wall at any restaurant, or else I feel really claustrophobic with being surrounded by tables with people sitting in them, because I feel like I have no space when trying to eat and get out of my spot.
Also, after I came back home from California from living in a small place, I felt a little weird living in my big room at the house again. I hated it, because I felt like I had a lot more to clean, since my room is bigger now. I still kind of don't like it. I miss having a small room where everything was nice and tightly ordered.

I used to have agrizoophobia until I was 7 years old.

My sister had that and was afraid of people's pets. It's actually quite common for children to be afraid of animals, because they can't tell the animal exactly what to do or control is, so therefore they are afraid of it. Me on the other hand...I freaking loved animals so much when I was a kid! I used to chained up my grandma's shi zhu, and pet in for hours, while it whined, because I was pretty much torturing it. I didn't know any better though, haha.

[Feferi]

I have claustrophobia and its a really bad one. I quickly panic and then I end up crying like crazy.
The worse claustrophobic moment I had in my life was when I went to the Key West for a field trip. We were in a submarine to have a tour there. It started out quite fine for me, I was real excited because it was my first time there and I love to see the fishies. ^^ As we got lower, all the sudden I felt uneasy then I felt like the submarine was closing in on me. Then the group I was in was bumping into me, moving around. I just told them to stop because I didn't feel all good. But I was ignored, and I tried to calm myself down. Instead I was shaking, feeling all tense, everyone moved over to the window to see and blocked the light, I freaked out a little more feeling like the submarine is closing on me more and I went hysterical. I was just screaming and crying that I want to get out. x_x It wasn't good at all. It can make me go insane so thats the scary thing.

I used to be afraid of mustaches when I was little. I hated them and I would hide behind my mom or cover my eyes if I see them on anyone. Now they amuse me. xD I have various of other fears, but claustrophobia is my worse one. It happened when I was in kindergarten. >: I was a victim of bullying and those kids put me in the closet that I couldn't move around in and it was dark. I kept on banging on the door until the teacher heard me and took me out. It mentally destroyed me and thats how I began to be claustrophobic. Its equally bad as my worse one, I thought I was going to die there. x_x

[TheyCallMeFei]

I'm not sure I have any, other than mild arachnophobia.

[Anime Forum]

Well. I'm afraid of bees, but I'm not sure what you'd call that. Everytime one buzzes around next to me I flip.

[under the rain]

I have acrophobia (Fear of heights; I went to the Grand Canyon once and it terrified me), kakorrhaphiophobia (Fear of failure), monophobia (Fear of being alone), scopophobia (Fear of being looked at), and... That's pretty much it.

[Anuket]

When I was young I was claustrophobic, but that went away whilst growing up which is a good thing. Now, I don't really know... I mean I'm not really sure of what I'm afraid of or whatever... it's weird in my opinion. X-}

[Himimimimi]

Spiders (creep me out)
Crows (attack me and creep me out)
Shower curtains (Thank you 'Psycho')
The dark (when I'm alone ><; )
Bees (make me scream)
Vomit (just... ugh.)
Being alone (does this need a reason?)

[Megamind's Minion]

i can't watch a movie which involves the main character or just a character mutilating himself or being mutilated...
i squirm everytime i watch such seen...
i feel the pain that goes with it...
every nerve of my body in the part where the cuts occur are screaming 'Don't hurt me'...
oh the pain of others...

[Clayton_n]

None really. i only have 3 things that creep me out.

1. Parasites

2. having holes in my body that should not be there, especially if I could stick a finger inside and feel around. (See #1)

3. being in the water with a carnivore (See #2)

I don't really have any irrational fears. Just the standard sense of self prefervation that keeps me fromw alking into traffic of jumping when I'm more than 30 feet above concrete.

[Souhi]

I fear a lot of obvious things, but the only thing that's ever crossed into the realm of a phobia would be blood (and to a lesser extent, needles). I've had real anxiety attacks, breathlessness, and on 2-3 occasions, I've passed out at the sight of blood. Fun. Combine that with being a young male and I'm surprised I ever set foot in a doctor's office.

[AzureDark]

Aw, Sev beat me to it.

(マジレス) I have a fear of cylindrical bugs. Worms _and_ caterpillars and the likes. I can handle millipedes though, just kick 'em away or something. Though they do freak me out a bit...

[Penshiru]

Speaking in public I just can't do it. Well I can I just get freaked out and start stuttering. -_- I'm lame

[Aku no Hikari]

I don't have any phobias. Most things I fear have legitimate reasons behind them...like burning alive, or drowning.

This.

When I was a teenager, I had a "ghosts" phobia for some reason. But I eliminated it the hard way -- by being alone at home and shouting "YOU STUPID GHOSTS!! SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT ME IF YOU DARE!!1!"

"Scary" movies and creepypasta are hilarious.

[MirrorToTheMoon]

I have kakorrhaphiophobia, the fear of failure. This leads to me keeping to myself a lot.. not exactly a good habit in a lot of ways.
When I was younger, I used to have a fear of the dark (Yeah, pretty stupid, I know. >.>). I eventually grew out of it with my brother's persistent teasing. He teased me so much I was finally like "Alright, I'll prove it to you!" and somehow I grew out of it. :/

[Senjou_Akira]

Decidophobia – fear of making decisions.

[Bibi of the Blue Sea]

I'm really afraid of falling. You know that feeling you get just as you lose you balance? I can't stand it. My heart starts racing and I start to perspire every time I lose my balance or get on a shaky ladder or walk on ice or (the list goes on and on).

I don't think you'd like my boyfriend at all. He had twisted fantasies of being a murderer and a few times in his life he was placed in a mental hospital and went insane there, he's better now because he's out but you know~ he has a history of being mentally insane. ^^' He is so much better now, he doesn't think much unless something would push him. It's not so bad now in case you're wondering.
