Phobia's

Bugs and insects in general, being outside at night

 

suffocating, public speaking (I'm getting better at this one), puking (I hate vomiting), blood gas draws (they stick a needle in the artery at your wrist to see how much oxygen is in your blood. it is painful since the needle goes next to a nerve.)

 

Well I have social phobia (which is now usually called social anxiety disorder). The new name is more accurate though, because I'm not really afraid of social situations per se, just very very anxious.

Other than that, I'm terrified of any creepy crawly things...bugs, insects, spiders....the sight of one of them in my house will paralyze me and cause me to panic and hyperventilate.

 

It's not truly a phobia, but I've found that I often dissociate when I'm in large areas with many strangers. I've even bumped into people/generally made people angry, without even registering it, only to have someone I know tell me afterwards. Completely new information to me.

I can have terrible anxiety in the dark, but it just depends on the setting and how much I allow myself to think.

 

Fish, fish, fish, fish, giant waves, Finding Nemo.

Spiders, Drowning, people, talking to people(Ironically I love public speaking and do so competitively).

did I mention fish?, also space.

I have a fear of wide open spaces, fear of smoking and being around others who smoke,

Ptsd (which ironically my parents think I have from fishing).

slight fear of accidentally eating meat

Angels

oh and the dark (being killed in the dark by a psychopath).

 

This.


Plus, I really hate snakes. I get a lot of night terrors about snakes.

Also, I gotta sit with me facing the doors in a restaurant or open space for fear of the unknown/terrorism/robbery.

 

Seems like I have two of the most common ones in this thread so far.

Bees - They scare me so much, any and all bees (and wasps, hornets, yellow jackets). It almost makes mowing the lawn impossible for me, because we get bees frequently in the backyard during the summer. Most of the time, they're carpenter bees (they burrow their nests into our fence), which are big, dumb, stupid creatures that don't have stingers and occasional run into things. I recognize that it's impossible for them to harm me in any way, and I'm still terrified of them.

Needles - Or more specifically, anything that has a thin, sharp point that I see stick into someone's flesh. I can control it enough for someone to stick me with a syringe, but it's impossible for me to watch it happen. I have to close my eyes or turn my head. For anyone who's played the first episode of season 2 of Telltale's The Walking Dead, that one specific part was difficult for me.

 

There are a few of us around.

 

Bats - I'm chiroptophobic.

 

Formalwear

 

I am utterly terrified of any stinging bugs, bees, wasps, and the like. I also have an issue with spiders above head level, where I can't squish them with my foot. I also can't stand the feeling of blunt pencils. It makes me irrationally angry rather than fearful, but I figured it was similar enough.

 

I have an irrational fear of snakes. They literally freak me out. Sharks also freak me out, and fire.

 

Not really phobias, but I'm pretty averse to these.
-Failure.
-Zombies.
-That one Vocaloid video called Bacterial Contamination.
-Those screechy scraping noises that you get when you scrape metal together/ scrape a chalkboard. Not a fear, per se, but I'm kind of sensitive to those kinds of noises, and I don't like feeling sensitive.

 

scared stiff of rats really bad

 

Needles

 

The first time I saw that, it was about 2AM. It probably goes without saying that I didn't sleep much that night.

 

The deep ocean (like past 50 feet deep), Statues, Double Shadows, Walking into a room and forgetting something oh god I need to stop watching Dr. Who

 

One time I got to swim in about 100 feet of clear water. I knew I wasn't in danger, bu it was pretty freaky seeing the bottom sooo far down there. o.0

 

Heights. I literally get scared stiff and can't move. Have to be pulled away from the location by someone else, LOL. ._.

And being alone in the dark.

 

I slept in my closet in my studio apartment in college I was so upset by thunderstorms. No joke.

I also can't sleep during incredibly gusting winds.

I guess I'd be weak to wind/lightning elements if I was a video game.
