I absolutely refuse to use a spoon, but sporks are fine. I was traumatized by this guy...he always ate with a spoon, no matter what he was eating.<br /> Because of this same guy, I also strongly dislike almost all men...however, I have a strange need to just cuddle with a guy. I'm not a cuddly person, per se, but I wanna cuddle XD...I have a fear of being rejected, and due to this I have the most odd and unnatural talent. I can lie impulsively to the point where I genuinely believe it myself, and I've tried telling people, but something always stops me..this is the most I've ever said about my fears..ever. So..yeah lol..

Bringing this back because it's an interesting topic.<br /> <br /> I actually have a ton of phobias, my friends all make fun of me for it in good fun and I don't mind.<br /> <br /> I have;<br /> Achluophobia, which is the fear of darkness or the dark.<br /> Acrophobia, the fear of heights.<br /> Agyrophobia, fear of crossing streets.<br /> Androphobia, the fear of men.<br /> Anginophobia, the fear of choking.<br /> Apiphobia, the fear of bees.<br /> Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders.<br /> Astraphobia, the fear of thunder and lightning.<br /> Automatonophobia, the fear of wax statues or any other object that realistically represents a person.<br /> Bacteriophobia, the fear of bacteria.<br /> Cancerophobia, the fear of cancer.<br /> Claustrophobia, the fear of confined spaces.<br /> Cleithrophobia, the fear of being locked in an enclosed space.<br /> Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns.<br /> Demonophobia, the fear of demons.<br /> Entomophobia, the fear of insects.<br /> Equinophobia, the fear of horses.<br /> Gerontophobia, the fear of old people or growing old.<br /> Gephyrophobia, the fear of crossing bridges.<br /> Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number of Satan (I refuse to type it out)<br /> Limnophobia, the fear of lakes.<br /> Mottephobia, the fear of moths<br /> Necrophobia, the fear of death<br /> Nosocomephobia, the fear of hospitals<br /> Ophthalmophobia, the fear of being stared at<br /> Pediophobia, the fear of dolls<br /> Pupaphobia, the fear of puppets<br /> Selachophobia, the fear of sharks<br /> Spheksophobia, the fear of wasps<br /> Thalassophobia, the fear of the sea<br /> <br /> Yes, all of these things bring me different amounts of anxiety, some greater than others but all in all, I'm terrified of them.

Well... If it makes sense at all.... I'm afraid of dead fish. Just something about them creeps me out. When a friend's fish floats, I end up on the far opposite side of the house. I had a traumatizing experience... >.>

I have severe arachnophobia. I'm scared of spiders on the ground, but a spider on the wall or the ceiling makes me break into nausea, sweats, vertigo, and of course severe feelings of terror. <br /> <br /> I know most people don't like spiders, and many people are rightly wary of them... but it's not normal to feel so terrified that you vomit.

Trypophobia. I'm somewhat okay, around even holes, but it's uneven holes, that look like they have things in them... oh gods, panic attack coming on just thinking about it.<br /> <br /> <br /> I USED to have a phobia of the dentist but I got over that. Though now it seems replaced with an ever worsening fear of breaking my fillings/getting cavities which is borderline turning into a phobia.

sorry for having to bring a dead thread back.<br /> <br /> <br /> I'm a claustrophobic, and I can't say it really bothers me, but I feel like I'm going to die if I'm in small places. So I avoid them. I guess I have It because of my brother. Hes 10+ yrs older than me now, but when I was a toddler, and even now still, he tickled me all the time and the normal brotherly+sisterly stuff. A lot of the time he overpowered me and like sat on me or something and I couldn't breath sometimes xDD<br /> <br /> I'm also afraid of cars. I dunno what the name for it is though. It started way back in kindergarten when I would be dropped of by the bus on my street and walk home. There would always be the same orange truck that pulled out its driveway and almost hit me a few times. It was like near death experiences and I had like flashbacks of memories and stuff. Getting in cars or ones that aren't moving at all doesn't scare me. only if they are coming at me, behind me, or around me in general. I just freeze until its gone and I get chills and wonder if I'll ever get hit with a car xP

I have a friend with globophobia, I myself hate looking in mirrors, its not really a phobia but it does make me very nervous and scared. The only time I look at a mirror is in the morning when I'm getting ready for school

Are you thinking of agoraphobia?

Well, I've already got my f*cking anxiety disorder crap that alright gets me terrified of a lot of things, but I don't count those as specific phobias. Because everything relating to my anxiety has a tendency to overlap and create a ton of problems.<br /> <br /> The only actual, specific phobia is arachnophobia. Fear of spiders. I'm scared sh*tless of spiders. Had a nightmare about them the other day. Only animals I'm afraid of,actually. All it takes is a slight glance at a photo of one online and I can be freaking out and panicking pretty quickly. Worst part is I'm a zoology major, so I'm going to have to deal with this phobia sooner or later unfortunately. And I'm absolutely terrified of that thought.

Well, I meant the particular one, at the end. I felt like I was taught in my psychology class about the opposite of claustrophobia...and I don't recall it.
