Do you have any phobia?

What is a phobia?

Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:

object

person (like a doctor or clown)

situation

activity

If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:

exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of

thinking about the thing you’re afraid of

anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of

Even spiders are afraid of spiders.

Tutunkommon,

I don’t know if it even has a name, bit if I’m driving and traffic stops with me under a bridge, I’m always afraid it is going to collapse on me. Especially if big trucks are going over the top.

    Agreed, something about both of them bother me much more than it should. I’ll avoid trails as much as I can cause just seeing mushrooms grosses me out.

    w00,

    Moluscophobia. I can’t even write about it.

    atlasraven31,

    No, not really. I dislike wasps and hornets but nothing debilitating. I feel sorry for anyone with a fear of the sun or fear of money. Some of the more irrational fears must be hard to deal with.

    Just the normal concerns of heights, spiders, killer clowns, etc… I actually love storms, rain, and the night in general.

    newIdentity,

    Spikey objects like injects

    Almost fell over twice because I just saw one

    atlasraven31,

    Do you get vaccine shots? My brother did not like them as a kid but has gotten better as an adult.

    newIdentity,

    Yes, but I almost always start to hyperventilate and get a panic attack. When I got the 3rd Corona vaccine shot, I had to lie down because it started getting back before my eyes

    shapesandstuff,

    I like that this one is common enough that the administering docs always ask in advance. At least here. I luckily never had issues with needles etc but its nice to be asked

    restingboredface,

    Stairs and inclines, like steep hills and tiered seating. We can’t sit in the cheap seats at sporting events because I constantly feel like I’m going to fall and I get anxiety attacks. Stairs and escalators are bad too, but I’ve gotten much better with those over the years (can’t exactly avoid them in most cases).

    I have a 2 story house with a basement, and even going downstairs in my own home can sometimes be hard.

    Tokophobia.

    shinigamiookamiryuu,

    It calls itself the ultimate list, but the only one on that list one could argue I have is aquaphobia. Not a good experience.

    Rocky60,

    Submechanophobia

    Trypophobia

    Misophonia

    shapesandstuff,

    I used to be subbed to r/submechanophobia because i fucking love the aesthetic of that stuff. Sorry you have these issues though

    Rocky60,

    I remember seeing the Titanic footage and there’s such a haunting fear that hit me. I would be absolutely terrified if I was in a close vicinity of it

    Snails. Fucking disgusting. Fish are veeeery edgy too, always found them completely weird to look at.

    But fish are also often dead when you see them, so maybe in general dead animals with their eyes and all.

    Also blood, not the liquid, but having something in your veins, in the most intimate part of your body. I often nearly collabse, it gets better with every time, for example the second covid suringe was way better, still traumatic.

    AceQuorthon,

    No clue if there’s a name for it, but I recoil in disgust from long loose strands of hair. Absolutely hate it when I accidentally get some on me from my sister or mom and feel it wrap around my fingers or something.

    Anti_Weeb_Penguin,

    Emetophobia
