Hey Pandas, What’s Your Phobia? (Closed)

gephyrophobi fear of driving over bridges. 'Flat' bridges (just a roadway over water) are fine but bridges that have an arch freak me the f*%k out!

The dark. I know I shouldn't be scared, but I am! I just don't know what's going on!

Trypophobia
an irrational or disproportionate feeling of discomfort or revulsion at the sight of clustered holes or bumps, as seen in sponges, honeycombs, certain seed pods, soap bubbles, and bubbles in batter

its not so much a fear, its really more of an extreme discomfort

if you know someone who is tryphohobic, DO NOT make fun of them and DO NOT try to trigger them

Basophobia (fear of falling) --> I'm not scared of heights but I am super afraid of falling.
Monophobia (fear of being alone)
Athazagoraphobia (fear of being forgotten)

I'm afraid of being touched by a man, but I don't know if there is a phobia word for it. There is fear of men and fear of touch, but I guess I'm more terrified of being judged by men? It's complicated...

i dont know what its called but lets call it ovalshapedmirroraphobia

Afraid or creeped out by slugs, especially the giant slimy yellow banana slugs in the temperate rain forests of Nor Cal. Shudders ick.

I have this irrational fear of ladders. I'm not scared of heights - I can climb trees, stand on chairs, go on ferris wheels and fly in planes just fine. But ladders really terrify me. I get uneasy just being in the same room with one.

Ornithophobia - fear of birds.
3 years old and my cousin thought it would be funny to lock me in the chicken coop......blind, evil rooster found me and pecked me into a corner. CANNOT stand any type of bird to this day.

Mine are weird ones so buckle on in 1: Xenophobia A.K.A The fear of the unknown. I feel panic when I don’t know what is happening. Also if I can’t see something that I’m touching. 2. Automatonophobia A.K.A fear of humanoid objects that aren’t actually human such as mannequins, animatronics, and ventriloquist dummies. 3. Submechanaphobia A.K.A the fear of submerged man made objects... just thinking about these things are enough to give me the willies

Im absolutely terrified of snails. I cant see them, I cant touch a picture of them or even See them moving. Once I stepped on a piece of an orange wich fell from the table , barefoot. Hell broke loose, besäuselt I thought its a snail. I screamed like somebody is murdering me. I didnt know, that I react so damn hysterical. Today, I always get goosebumps in the neck, when talking about snails. I hatte autumn by the way....

Whenever I’m alone in the dark or it’s really quiet and dark I start getting super scared. I have a nightlight, but my excuse is that I need it so I can see, as it’s pitch-black in my room at night. This gets even worse if I’m thinking about something that frightened me before. Once I had a brief thought about Slenderman and fifteen minutes later if I closed my eyes I’d hear a voice whispering to me or feel a presence looking over me.

Gerascophobia

Thanatophobia, fear of your own death. Been my major phobia ever since I can remember.

Arachnophobia. I am deathly afraid of spiders. If I see a spider in a room, I won't go back in there until I'm sure that it's gone (and even then, I'll approach it with caution).

I have monophobia, the fear of being alone. I often like to surround myself with loved ones and the people I care about. But covid-19 has changed me, and now I prefer being alone 24/7 :(
I used to have a fear of jeans when I was younger, because they were too stiff and prevented me from climbing onto chairs. That's behind me now. :(((((

Didn't know I had a fear of needles until I was 16. Growing up, I always cried when I had to have a blood test or an injection, but I always thought it was because I was a child. Then when I was 16 I had to have a blood test and had a massive melt down in the reception.

This is awfully common, but I have severe arachnophobia. I can't tolerate seeing any size or type of spiders; fictional or not, venomous or not, harmful or not, I fear any structure or being that resembles a spider. Even seeing cobwebs is enough to petrify me. Sometimes it messes with my appetite heavily, and I won't go into details of that.

I have learned that phobias exist for a variety of reasons, or so it is theorised. Some say it rises from our primitive survivalist instincts, some say it's inherited genetically. I'd very much like to know /why/ I fear spiders to this extent. My family members dislike pests, but none of them is arachnophobic.

As long as I could remember, I've been afraid of spiders. Maybe my first exposures to them was this nursery rhyme called Miss Muffet, but again... That would be irrational. ;D

Equally snakes, clowns, and being buried alive. In no particular order. And I haven't bothered to look up what those fears are called. Could that be another phobia?
