do you have a real phobia?

[ktbutterfly2011]

I have a real phobia of talking about myself.
I can't even do it to my best friends.
It's insane.
Like... if someone asks me how my day was... the answer is always good.
Even if it was sucktastic. Even my best friends.
I'm getting better about it with my best friends though. Slowly.

I am terrified of spiders, I can't even look at pictures of them without squirming.

Yes, I actually have so many it's hard to even imagine how I function at all. Just to name a few, bugs, spiders, airplanes, and two that I don't even think have names...they're like, not really "fears" but I get sick to my stomach almost when I have to listen/watch them. It's a really strange feeling. Not like a run away screamy feeling like I have with bugs, but just...I don't know, reallllyy hard to explain...

Death (mine)

I hate snakes

Actually, I don't think this counts, but I'm afraid of being rejected.
It actually holds me back from stuff I'd really like to do.
Like, I don't even audition for stuff because I'm afraid that I won't make it.
Like this big trumpet thing I tried out for last year...I was hyperventilating, screwed up the audition because of it, didn't make it, and sobbed in the car. It was pretty embarrassing.

I'm still afraid of getting rejected, but I can hide my emotions better now.

I have a phobia of being kidnapped and being shot in my house. I have stayed up countless nights and sometimes with my door locked, because I have been so scared that both would happen to me. Oh and losing my family...I always end up in tears whenever I start thinking of losing my mom...

I have a fear of not being able to breath, large bodies of water, bugs, heights, and distance.

Distance...I can't explain this fear. But EVERYTIME I'm sick, I feel it.

That is me deffinatly.
I am actually tearing up.
I think about that like every night.

 

[goofyandplutoluver]

Elevators. :\
I'm terrified that it's gonna break down while I'm in it and I'm afraid what is going to be on the other side of the doors (lame, I knoww).

 

[Sparkle_Cherry]

Alarm clocks.

If I hear an alarm clock on T.V. or on the radio, I just want it to stop. I've been waking up to an alarm clock at 5:30 am for three years now. I don't think being woken up by that blaring noise is at all healthy.

I have a phobia of lightning (Brontophobia/Selaphobia which is a fear of light flashes, which I also have), but only at night. Like my heart races, I get super nervous, and I start panicking.

And I also have a phobia of balloons. Like when someone's blowing one up, I get really anxious and panicky because I'm scared it'll pop.
(I actually have a story that goes along with this phobia. At one of my friend's birthday parties when I was in elementary school, her parents made a game where they put pieces of candy inside balloons, and blew them up and we had to go around and sit on them to pop them to get the candy. I was literally screaming my head off in a ball on the floor during this game. I was so scared.)

I also have a huuuuuge fear of dinosaurs. I watched Jurassic Park when I was too young and I also have a huuuge imagination. So I thought some psychopath would see that movie, and bring back dinosaurs. If someone tells me to watch out for raptors, I will seriously almost pee my pants. It's not good. And the ride Dinosaur in WDW is basically my worst nightmare, yet I still go on it every time (I'm an idiot)

 

[CrazyChik]

Heights.
I hate them.
The only time I can stand them is in airplanes
Otherwise i'm pretty much paralysed and sobbing until we're back at sea level.
xD

Elevators. :\
I'm terrified that it's gonna break down while I'm in it and I'm afraid what is going to be on the other side of the doors (lame, I knoww).

no way not lame i have that too, if i absolutely have to go in an elevator i go into a corner and close my eyes. i just can't do it otherwise.

I also have this really weird thing that if i'm in a room with a closed door and i know that the other side of the door is dark i FREAK OUT. i would rather keep myself locked in the room than open the door and not know what is on the other side.

I'm not too much a fan of getting kidnapped either, the way my bed is my feet are almost touching my window so i'm always nervous that someone is going to grab me by my feet and pull me out the window.

 

[imabrat]

Real absolute phobia?
Death, public speaking (I can do it but it gets to the point where I have panic attacks), a restroom related one that is too embarassing to speak of, and clowns. One more is the whole kidnapping/killing/pervert watching me through the window at night thing.
These have all left me with anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, etc. One time I started crying and ran the other way when I saw a clown at the boardwalk, it took me a while to allow myself to pass by him to get to the other side of the boardwalk.

Minor?
Snakes, elevators, thunderstorms.

 

[MuskratSusie]

Bees

Me too.

 

[DramaQueen]

I actually can't believe that someone has the same phobia as me! (george!!)
I am truly afraid of anything dinosaur-related. Especially animatronic dinos...My mom bought our ride pic from Dinosaur, and I should seriously upload it, I have my head down in my lap (i'm crying!) and my hands over my ears. We got stuck in it just beside the big scary dino and I started to have a panic attack!!! It's terrible.

I'm also really afraid of my family dying. My mom got into a life-threatening car accident when I was 11 and that's what triggered the fear I think. From age 11 til about 13 I couldn't function properly due to my fear. I wouldn't be able to survive a day of school without having a panic attack.
I've slowly learned to control my fear, but it's still something that I worry about alot.

having panic attacks is the worst feeling in the world btw.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Im afraid of Germs, and im also claustrophobic.

To the point where i wil have difficulty breathing if im in a small space, and i feel like im going to vomit.

Germs...ugh. I just cant STAND them, when someone else sneezes i wash MY hands.

I use tissues to open doors *sometimes, depending on how the door works*

I usually just kick open doors.

Luckily, I have no really serious fears.

While I don't like spiders, I don't run from them or even really freak out.

And while I do tend to avoid bees, that doesn't keep me from the flower beds outside my house or from going out in the summer. The only thing I hate is when they nest under the covers to my outdoor electrical sockets. When I open those up and a small bee hive/wasp nest falls out, I get quite a shock.

And that's it, really.

 

[OneTreeHill]

Yes.
I am absolutley TERRIFIED of goats.
Like, deathly afraid of them.

 

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I'm not sure if this is an actual phobia or not... but wrists totally send me over the edge. I can't look at my wrists, or anyone else's wrists... and I totally freak out if I touch mine or anyone else's. Just typing about it now is giving me the grossest feeling...

I'm kinda the same way but with feet...they seriously creep me out. I am so weird, I know.
