Title: What is your phobia?
Post by: Calder Smith on February 08, 2014, 05:34:01 PM
Does anyone else have a Phobia?

I have Achluophobia (fear of darkness), a little bit of Thanotophobia (fear of death) and trypophobia (fear of clustered holes) :p

Thanatophobia (cessation of existence in my case), claustrophobia, and fear of abandonment and betrayal. Oh! And falling. Oddly, I'm more afraid of the feeling of being out of control than reaching the bottom.

I have claustrophobia and my worse nightmares involved I getting stucked under the water on some kind of cave...help meeee!

I also fear living in high buildings (this one is odd)...I start wondering if the building was properly designed and built...and if it is stable and then I start wondering how are the chances of the buiding collapsing and then I freak out thinking that I might die on my sleep if the building collapses...lol what is the name for this one??

More than creepy...they are evil itself...especially the big green ones who also produce sound...

Escalators, I think. Either way, I can't use them without a ton of stress and time.

I should rename this thread: "tell us your phobia so I can post a picture of it and you can get over it".

I used to hate escalators when I was younger.

Elevators.  I'm always afraid that they're going to get stuck or fall so I almost always take the stairs if it's less than 5 floors.  And like Natalia I also fear being in tall buildings.  I have nightmares that I'm in one and it starts to fall down.

I also have agoraphobia stemming from my panic disorder.  X_x

When I was like 7, I used to cry when I had to take an elevator so my mom said I could take the stairs instead. For some reason, I was afraid of falling off or something.

Hahaha sorry >:D

I don't really have a problem with spiders, I actually think they're cool and I'd love to have a tarantula as a pet but my mom hates spiders too.

My weirdest phobia is trypophobia which is a fear of clustered holes. I don't know why, they just make my skin crawl.



:o Ugh.

lol no it's cool, something told me you were gonna do that I should have known<_< haha!

Ew, after putting trypophobia into google, I agree that is kinda really creepy.

i think the only phobia i have is a i find it really gross to feel sticky hands or sticky anything like a fridge door or a spilled orange juice on the floor that dried up, but not to the point that i fear it

i have a hard time finding a phobia, im really fearless, but now that im transitioning i don't have that feeling of welcoming death anymore, and i love skydiving and high places, bugs and small animals don't bother me but i usually wear gloves when i touch them, i live in alberta so i have never seen a rat in my life, i might be a little claustrophobic but not enough to alter my decisions

I am scared by a lot of things : heights , spiders , snakes
Lately , I 've noticed that I am scared of getting in any water that is not crystal clear  ,  for example I am ok with swimming pools but I am reluctant about Sea water - I keep thinking that may be some kind of animal around my feet that will bite me  :D.
