Got any phobias?

[_Chaz_]

I have a fear of spiders. not just bites but the whole package.
From the venom inside down to the way they walk, they just give me the God damned creeps.

Same here Chaz, I wasn't afraid of them until I got bit by the lot

Anatidaephobia

And, on a less jokingly note (is that even english?

) I'm a little arachnaphobic. It's not that bad though. Not like I'm screaming when I see a spider, but I just like to avoid them whenever I can.
EDIT: Another one I forgot: Atychiphobia (fear of failing). Whenever I need to do a presentation at school or the like I start shaking and get this weird feeling in my throat. And it's like really really bad. And also gelotophobia (fear of being laughed at), which is basically part of the reason why I'm Atychiphobic in the first place.

I have a fear of quite a lot of insects. Like spiders, bees, etc.

But the thing I'm scared of most is needles, I always hate when I have to get one for a disease or when I go out of the country >.

I believe I have a few
one is called 'Entomophobia' - fear of Insects and bugs (this also includes spiders)
Another I believe is 'Anthropophobia' - or 'social anxiety disorder'

The 3rd one - I don't know is there's an actual name for it (can't seem to find one anyway) - I have a fear of 'going up/down ladders', but it's NOT a fear of heights or a fear of going high (I can go up stairs with no problems - even if I can see the outside world)

If I have to get up on a ladder/steps (or anything like those) - I break out in a sweat, I suffer from shakes & sometimes get short of breath.....even going up only 2-3 steps & I suffer

EDIT: Further googling & I think I've found a name for my 3rd phobia - 'Stepnophobia' (also found that 'fear of going high' also fall under 'fear of heights')
Don't know if it's actually a real recognised phobia (google doesn't actually recognise the word) but it'll do

I should of mentioned this one. I just figured it was my fear of heights.

 

[Ritsuki]

Entomophobia. I can't stay in a room with insects. I'm okay with the small ones though (ants, flies,...). And a special mention for spyders.

 

[Theraima]

[Deleted User]

Arachnophobia, i absoulty hate spiders.

 

[Thoob]

Spiral staircases. They scare the shit out of me.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm at least afraid of darkness, I voted on some other ones but I'm not sure about them. I guess I'm afraid of needles but I wouldn't really call that a phobia...
Oh, and bees/wasps.

 

[jefffisher]

i'm scared to death of giant sea monsters, like kraken, liaviathan, lochness monster, other various things that could be giant and hiding under the water.
i will not go anywhere near deep water like more than 20 feet into the ocean or big lakes

 

[Pong20302000]

i hate snails and worms and frogs
needles also

everything else is perfectly fine with

 

[Forstride]

I voted for Acrophobia, but I also have Xenophobia, which is the closest thing to fear of extra-terrestrial life. I also have slight Lilapsophobia, which is fear of tornadoes, as well as Atomosophobia, which is fear of atomic explosions.

 

[Cyan]

I'm afraid of bees. (Damn, I hate spring and summer !)
in fact all bees's family insect (bee, Bumblebee, wasp, etc.)
I never been attacked, it's just a fear of being targeted.



A workmate has pigeon phobia, (in fact almost all birds, but pigeons are the most feared)
It's really hard to live with because there's pigeon everywhere in the world !
no coffee drinking outside of a bar, no walking near the beach, no travel to famous place in the world (venice for example).
Only at night it's possible to go outside without fear and without trying to escape birds.
