    I actually have a REALLY bad phobia against buzzing noises. When I was a kid, a wasp landed on my ear and the loud buzz it made not only scared me to death but scarred me for life. Now I hate anything that buzzes, but especially flys. Not only do those little fucks buzz, but they just HAVE to buzz around your head or land on you. God I hate flys.

    This is probably a weird one, but I strongly dislike calling other people on the phone. If they call me I'm fine with it usually, but I get really scared having to call someone I've never talked to before, or who I don't know really well.

  • A lot of those, and more. XD
    I have a phobia of drowning, suffocation, choking... A lot to do with impaired breathing.
    Spiders, wasps & bees, venomous creatures (in the case of snakes, strictly only venomous ones), heights, fire (or burns), death, pain, violence, falling, stairs, restraint, needles, darkness, strangers, large crowds, guns (and other projectile weapons), vehicles (mostly cars and big things like lorries), dogs, very small spaces (small enough that I can barely move), being underground or in caves (for fear of it caving in on me. Also, being buried alive), answering phones (or calling someone I don't know), and a social phobia. Probably more XD

    These phobias only effect me if it's in real life, I'm not one of those people who, for example, can't even look at a picture of a spider.
    (In the case of spiders, I actually find them very fascinating, so it sucks for me to be scared of them)

    I am petrified of the dark,escalators,clowns and mirrors. For the life of me I cannot physically get my ass on a escalator I get the shakes so bad it looks like I'm having a seizure. when it comes to mirrors I hate them the only mirror in my house is in the bathroom I actually had the large mirror that was in there taken down and replaced with one of those round pull out mirrors. yup 28 and afraid the dark I feel like the dark is swallowing me whole it freaks me out so bad that at times I've almost pissed myself. each room in my house has a flashlight and I sleep with the tv on.

    I have a few, in fact. None are listed here. My worst, being fear of losing all my things (I'd really rather die with all my things than live without them). I don't know why fear of failure isn't up there. It's a very common fear.

    Flying insects - even butterflies.
    The dark - I sleep with night light.
    Balconys - Not heights, but the fact that it's an area of floorspace with nothing underneath it with only a fence to keep you from falling.
    Flowers - Just the petals, I still think they're pretty, but don't get one near me and I'd also probably die of a heart attack if I touched one.
    Needles - D:

  • I<3TheFray

    I have weird phobias; the dark, being alone, surrounded by new people, needles, and one really extensive one... I feel like ppl are watching me through my window at night or when I am in the shower I think there is someone in there with me... I get really scared to where I feel like I am dying.

    Comment Hidden ( show )
  • My phobias can get quite extensive, so I'll just limit to the ones you've put down. I'm afraid of monkeys, spiders, all insects, I'm claustrophobic so I hate small, closed spaces, and being around lots of people, and I'm horribly frightened of germs, just to name a few.

  • Juicedrink

    I don't know if I am claustrophobic. It's just that I can be trapped in any kind of room. It doesn't have to be small. Just being trapped and alone, and no way to get out. It just gives me the shivers. Or even waiting for someone in a big city that your not familiar with without a cellphone. Just scares me. :(

    claustrophobia
    I just hate being in such small/tight places.
    I remember when my sister put a pillow case over me(we often do weird random things lol) i started panicing and i was squirming to get it off me but my hands were clamped to my sides and it was stuck. As i was squirming and wiggling like an idiot trying to get it off my sister was laughing her ass off saying i looked like i was break dancing -__- i started crying then she finally helped me

    ANY SMALL BUGS, ghosts, sometimes dark rooms, heights, can't be in an enclosed place for more than an hour, the ocean sometimes if seaweed touches my legs, aggressive pan handlers, scary movies but a little less now that I'm in my 30's, Gypsies, transvestites, and anyone who laughs at violence or someone getting hurt.

  • Alien abduction or any form of encounter is probably the closest thing to a phobia, simply because it scares me SO much. But phobias are actually intense and IRRATIONAL fears so it doesn't really count. Then again you could say there's nothing to fear but fear itself in which case all intense fears would be irrational and therefore phobias...

    Elevators I hate them. There so small and I always think that the elevator is gonna have a malfunction and I get stuck in there. And DIE! I get a lilttle nervous when im in one. Also would hate to get stuck in one with certain types of people like a fat person, or a Baby, or some one who stinks. So yeah i always take the stairs.

      me too. I never used to feel like that but once I was in an elevator that malfunctioned, I cant go on them anymore. NOT that it got stuck...just gave me a scare for a few minutes. The thought of them now makes me feel like Im going to have a stroke. Terrified!
