Raindrop Valkyrie Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm afraid of Heights. However... it being a rational fear since it can bloody kill you... it's not a phobia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytch_doctr Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm fine with heights kinda want to go skydiving tbh but i'm claustrophobic. Even if it's just a crowd with a lot of people or a packed stadium i just hate it. There is a story behind it but it's too meh to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamitako Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm afraid of Heights. However... it being a rational fear since it can bloody kill you... it's not a phobia. If we're gonna talk rational fears, I am afraid of walking down the sidewalk on busy streets to a certain extent. No panic attacks or anything, but it still makes me nervous. And with good reason, I walk home during rush hour along the busiest non-highway road in the city TL;DR Busy roadways are dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Acrophobia, anything high up scares me, and seeing other people high up activates super mom instincts or something Also crossing bridges is a little scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despair Syndrome Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Large vehicles (Bus, freight trucks etc) are EXTREMELY DEMONIC TO ME. how do they even do sharp turns, just thinking about it scares me ;_; not sure if there is a phobia for this but who cares ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Melissophobia, aka the fear of bees. I'm not allergic or anything, but I have a completely irrational fear of bees, wasps, hornets, and anything beelike. If I see a bee of any sort flying around near me, you can count on me to flip out and sprint away. I realize that bumblebees and honey bees are pretty docile as a whole, and I'm much better around them than say a wasp, but I'm still not getting anywhere near them and it's still likely that I'd freak out if one was near me. Other than that, I don't have any real phobias. If I find a spider in my room, I'll just pick it up in a napkin or tissue or something and take it outside. Heights aren't bad either. Just bees.

You're better off than I am. Whenever I see an insect flying around that has that signature yellow and black, I kinda freeze up or run for the hills…except the hills have more bees!

starkidcosmo Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 hoo boy. Big crowds are what really get to me, but even more specifically i can't stand having people behind me, and when adults/people i don't know/don't like touch my back. Everywhere else is normal levels of "um, what are you doing" but when people touch my back I seize up. At restaurants I have to have my back to a wall or at least a booth or I start panicking lol. Other than that, Parasitophobia, which is the fear of parasites, and I'm terrified of syringes... which makes getting my blood drawn real fun.

Chevaleresse Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I don't really have any phobias, unless not wanting to eat unfamiliar foods counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rot8er_ConeX Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have a fear of IV needles. Not of shots in general, just IV needles. It comes from a time as a kid when I had numbing cream on my arm for five minutes and the normal shot was painless, but after half an hour the IV still hurt like hell.

Ironbound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thantophobia, in a way. I am not, as a rule, dependent or affectionate. Neither am I myself afraid of death as a state. However, I am deeply afraid of losing those few I truly care about. That number being small enough to be counted on one hand exacerbates this, regardless the amount of philosophy, wisdom or what-have-you I can posess. I do not have any other phobia. I am not sure if what I do have can even be called one, but it is enough to cause me discomfort at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
