...Wow

My favourite is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words

Alot of those are really crippling if you think about it, like Agliophobia- Fear of pain. Somebody who is like that would probably avoid every situation in their life that could possibly lead to pain. They'd have to live in a bubble. They'd probably freak out everytime they got a headache or a cramp. That's such a horrible way to live.

"Urophobia- Fear of urine or urinating." :cry: can you imagine...?
Almost makes mine seem like it's not that bad...almost :lol:

Arachibutyrophobia - The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth

i seriously thought this was fake for a long time

My favourite is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words

haha that's so funny and ironic

Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school

hehe amusing..

Venustraphobia- Fear of beautiful women.
What is this?!!?!?!!? Who in the right mind could catch this?!!!

phobias are not "caught" <_< . they develop. And it's not a matter of being in the right mind seeing as the person probably doesn't choose to be so afraid...It sucks so much not to be able to control your own emotions and reactions..it's humiliating actually.

Hmm...what is your phobia, Fob? :mellow:

i have a phobia of lighters that are not being used to light cigarettes (it is not just a fear, i am truly petrified of getting burnt by a lighter)

Emetophobia- Fear of vomiting.

It might not sounds so bad but to me it's everything. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it. There are days when I just wont eat...I know that the way I react to it and the things that I do because of it are stupid, and I guess that's a step up from not seeing anything wrong with it, but I can't really stop myself. I think about being this way for the rest of my life and I want to die it...for lack of a better word, sucks...but anyways...sorry if i sounded rude in that previous post. I just get really defensive about the whole phobia thing in general.

[edit]: I'm too lazy to actually make a reply...but (and i mean this is the nicest way possible...which, since you are dealing with me, is very nice :D) No pity, please. all i want is to get better and i'm currently working on it so no worries ^_^.

poor fob... :(

If you've got this phobia, you don't wanna live next to me... Acousticophobia- Fear of noise

Me? I've got Erotophobia- Fear of sexual love or sexual questions.

there there, innocent little SA... *phhsshh* yeah right...

I got Hydrophobia, the fear of water. But not just WATER, like drinking, but like swimming.

The last place I want to die is in the ocean or in a pool because its all dark and stuff. But in a the ocean, you go deeper and deeper, and things swim pass you, like sharks, squids and things you dont know...And people may never find you, and worse of all, ITS TO DAMN WET!

The funniest one - Japanophobia- Fear of Japanese...guess no anime for that person

Dextrophobia- Fear of objects at the right side of the body.
Sinistrophobia- Fear of things to the left or left-handed.
It would seriously suck if you had both of these! x_x


Melophobia- Fear or hatred of music.
I could never live that way! :cry:


Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.
Doesn't that contradict itself? :think:


Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.
I find this oddly humorous. :lol:

I dunno what i have (feel free to look them up for me) Im afraid of loud noises... caplocked words that remind me of loud noises.... and not being able to help somebody in dire need

Venustraphobia- Fear of beautiful women.
What is this?!!?!?!!? Who in the right mind could catch this?!!! Hey i use to have that!!! I was scared of beautiful women because i was insecure of myself. I always thought that they were too good for me and would cast me away...Im not scared anymore but at times i might choke up in the middle of a conversation (It was kind of like i didnt think of them as humans...just beautiful women...until i realized that the were people just like me i was scared)

I have a fear of heights, and a fear of insects. =/

I remember there used to be such thing as having a fear of an erect penis. is it true?

probably...there can be a phobia of anything and everything, really. Just a matter of which ones have been recognized and named.

Phobia of not having a phobia...Phobianophobia?

I guess I have something similar to Aphenphosmphobia (fear of being touched). I always have the urge to slap away my dad when he touches my forehead hair when he wonders if it should be trimmed (/me shudders). I can't stand my little brother touching my shoulder when we're chatting or playing video games(/me shudders again). :/

My favorite humorous phobia is "Antidaeophobia": Fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phobia ) :P

Phobia- the most common form of anxiety disorder. My phobia? Cyno... and Xeno

Needles- Aichmophobia or Belonephobia.

and

Doctor, going to the- Iatrophobia./Dentists- Dentophobia./Nosocomephobia - Fear of hospitals.



I am terrified of needles and doctors/dentists, I try and do everything in my power to avoid getting sick and/or injured or mess up my teeth ^^;. I start to have mild panic attacks waiting in the doctor's/dentist office and I always need someone to go with me or else I will try and leave the building. ^^;;


When I had to go get shots and an exam a year ago, my mother had to come with me and I wouldn't stop rocking back and forth and talking quite loudly to my mother to calm myself (laughing nervously the whole time as well X_x). and the moment the brought in the needles I broke down sobbing and pushed myself against the wall and wouldn't let them touch me ^^;;

My mom finally pulled me away from the wall long enough for them to give me the shots and draw blood. And when I was younger, I bit a doctor who was trying to give me a shot.

But since I don't really see the doctor that much, besides exams and such, I try not to worry too much, though it does bug me a lot X_x.

So yes ._.

I think "Dutchphobia- Fear of the Dutch" is waaay better XD

My Phobia is well... -

Achluophobia- Fear of darkness - I am scared of the dark because i feel like something is watching me.

I wonder, is there a phobia for fear of yourself?

Eremophobia- Fear of being oneself or of lonliness.
Autophobia- Fear of being alone or of oneself.

thats the closest i can get to being fear of yourself...

I already told Seraph this but I've started to develop a fear (not quite a phobia yet...anot hopefully not ever) of myself.I'm and emetophobia (fear of vomiting) I used to blame becomming ill on things like what I wore that day or certain scenarios (like going to a certain movie theatre or hanging out with a certain person).

I thought, "Well If I avoid these pants or this person I'll be safe." (it's stupid I know -_-) So yeah as the recovery process began I began to realize that it was something that my body just does every so often and that it has nothing to do with clothes or movie theatres....So yeah I try (sometimes in vain) to keep it under control but now it's my body that scares me. In a way I'm afraid of myself...

But like I said it's not a phobia and I REALLY don't want it to develop into one. lol I call them "secondhand phobias". Fears that you develop while you're trying to cope with the main phobia.

Does anyone know if there is a name for this?

oooh scary.. well not scary.. but cool lol

you never ended up closing your bracket... lol

...cool? Not especially. It's the farthest from cool I think anything can be. It's humiliating that I can't control myself anymore....

lol I hate it when your text turns into a smiley without you meaning for it.

Hmm *turns into batman* What's everyone elses fears out there?

Pnigophobia or Pnigerophobia- Fear of choking of being smothered.


yes this is me in a way... :think: last time someone touched my neck, (because i have a huge fear of someone choking me) i started hyperventalating... :sweat: heh...heh...

Katagelophobia- Fear of ridicule. I think Ik kinda developing this...

Pentheraphobia- Fear of mother-in-law. (Novercaphobia)..lol
Phobophobia- Fear of phobias. I just found this one funny.
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking. this one must be messed up to have
Technophobia- Fear of technology....my dad dosent fear it just hates it XD

Fob, luck with the whole fobia thing, wow Reina thats a new one for me.

Atychiphobia- Fear of failure.

I'm always afraid of saying/doing something stupid around people... I am considered a "smart" student, and when I do something unusually wrong, the class goes, "(my name), how could you", or "What happened?" etc...

Afraid of planes.

Dread, but im getting over it. I hope

I've got Aphenphosmphobia (was actually diagnosed).

I don't know what caused it, but I cannot take any type of physical contact.

Are you being serious? Wow... must be tough going through everyday life.

Let's just say I keep my distance from people when talking to them. Like, a lot. And when people touch me, I move away rather quickly.

Ladies think it's funny and try to touch me just to watch me run. I find it to be the opposite.

That must suck... so what do you do when ladies wanna "touch" you?

I jog away, or entirely avoid the situation. In real life, I'm kind of respectible to others, so they usually listen to my wishes, and the problem doesn't happen too often; unless they want to watch me squirm.

Or do you mean THAT kind of touch. If that's what your talking about, I've never had that situation arrive, so yeah.... I sure as hell hope that the phobia will not apply in that situation.

Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being.

I don't know why but I just get creeped out by ventriloquist's dummies.

is there a fear of not being able to control yourself? im quite afraid of getting angry, then losing it, then hurting someone... quite afraid indeed. what would that be called?

in any case i have a twinge of demophobia (thay make me nervous... blasted crowds...)
