It does sound funny to us,but I am sure they would not have made the list if it had not happened to someone somewhere.
And to that person it is a very serious thing because it would have made living a normal life a bit of a chore,especially fear of everyday (what we call normal objects)

Your list made me giggle. Haha
Hahah the crazy thing is there real O.O I googled them

My phobias are going old and spiders

A fear of going into ocean waters... I will die of a shark attack, I just know it... I dream about it...
Even in the bath tub I get the sickest feeling form it... our pool, yes, and the river...
And people, I know there are no sharks in there... BUT...

Spiders for me too sweet...

We had a camp out for my daughetrs birthday and one of her friends is afraid of mustard. To the point that she almost cried when 1 of the boys squirted it on her.

Cockroaches.

Wow, mustard? I wonder what the reasoning is for that.
J, about those cockroaches... are you talking about the ones on the forum or the bugs.. LOL Yucky either way!

Not a phobia but I really dislike earwigs.

Karma, I find them in my shoes... NOT OK!

Hello again, x:

I don't like this. I'm finding out that I'm weird. Ok, Ok - before you start - I know YOU people have known that I'm weird for a LONG time, but I'm just finding out.

I'm also Agoraphobic - Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

I don't like crowds. I'll go to a game, but I get nervous. I'll avoid crowded restaurants (which could be because I'm too hungry to wait). I absolutely avoid parades and stuff where I'm hemmed in by people. I HATE that.

I don't like open spaces. I love tunnels. I love country roads that meander with a canopy of trees COVERING the road. I love the rain. I live in Seattle, and I love the cloud cover. I had an MRI recently. I loved it in there.

OMG. I'm falling apart.

I find you to be more normal than I thought actually... Thanks for being human. These all apply to me too.
Now, I have one question, when does it become a phobia? It can't be just because we don't like it... Is it when we realize we are doing something to avoid the scary things?? OR??

I really hate thinking about large things like space or the ocean. I was looking at a map of america earlier and it freaked me out.

My 'proper' phobias are fire and being burned, getting hit by cars (I squeal like a girl crossing roads) and wasps.

Karma, I find them in my shoes...NOT OK!!

Oh my goodness start! Earwigs in you shoes? Ewwwwwwwwww! Haha. I don't have a phobia but I guess I'm afraid of the dark... seriously! It makes me very nervous to be in a room or outside when it is completely dark. I don't like the idea of not being able to see everything... freaks me out.

Apiphobia- Fear of bees. I frickin' hate bees. :eek:

Snakes. Any kind, anywhere, any color, venomous or non venomous - it does not matter. Also, fear of the ocean. Looks nice but I know better.

I am not sure I have any "phobias" as such... I must really think hard on this before I can confirm... :)

The Phobia List (http://www.phobialist.com/#K-) for those who didn't look this has some whack phbies hahah

But I'm always afraid of someing hugging me then stabbing me

What would fear of Ninja Burglar who steals women's underwear be? Lol

Hugs sweet! :p

:DDD hahah yay!

Agoraphobia and chlostrophobia, lol

I hate tiny spaces tooooo >< haha. Clsoter... that's a great word

I forgot that I can't put my head under the covers, I feel like I am going to run out of air and just die... right then and there, I actually freak out about it... Grrr... this thread is making me think too hard...

I hate spiders sooooo much!! That's my phobia and there's a big one in my room I can't kill!

Get the mop/broom and let the spider drop onto it,then throw the whole mop/broom out of the window, Peggy.:)

I'm afraid of losing control. I'm afraid of dying and hell. I'm afraid of being wrong. I'm afraid of being bad mother. I'm afraid of myself sometimes. Don't like my thoughts. It's like a bad neighborhood--don't go there alone.

You're institutionalized.

I love you guys

Ok,
I found out my phobia...
Being alone in complete darkness, freaks me out,but as I am not the screeching,screaming type, I will silently suffer through it;)

Someone please turn on a light in here... Eeeeeeeeeeeeek

Ohhh I have a phobia like out of no where everythig is just going to go completely black! And I don't know...
Ever saw the movie 1408? Or read the book?
What haapaned to the man is everything I fear

Sorry, not seen that movie or the book.

Do you mean in black and white?Or darkness?

Just darkness.

YouTube - Stephen King's 1408 Trailer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKqPlIFokig)

Ohhh i have a phobia like out of no where everythig is just gonna go completely black! and idk...

that movie was awesome, one of the best thrillers I've seen in ages,(not better than the 28 weeks later though), the one thing I didn't get was the random guy who kept popping up , u know the one I mean

Anything that is small and crawls. Besides dogs, cats and little babies lol lol lol

Old house basements especially without any light.

Joe

Joe,
Me too.
Basements without lights and alone.. Eeeeeeeeek.

Must be too many horror movies:).

Firm,

For some reason I have been like that since I was a kid. My mother and even little sister have the same thing. It is kind of weird when you think about it.

Glad I am not the only one lol

Joe,
We have never had basements in any of our houses.

Did you have some sort of bad experience in one,maybe along with your sister?

I am 31 and my little sister is 17.

As far as basements, I do not know what it is but Darkness and basements, I do not know what to tell you.

I remember as a teenager turning on all the lights as I was going down stairs and bringing my dog down with me whenever I had to go down. It must be deep seeded from something, Maybe from family? Or something else. Not sure.

I think somebody has been watching too many scary movies lol

Joe,
me too.

You watch horror movies? Oh my goodness, I haven't seen one in oh probably 5 or 6 years... I would pee my pants!

Hmmmm my biggest fears rite now would probably be
Deadlines
Failure
People learning my secrets/shames etc
Meeting my long distance girlfriend face to face
Tall buildings (when you look up and they are swaying in the wind its scary!)
Rejection
Me not being worthy of people
I also used to be terrified of looking at windows/mirrors at night, because I was afraid I mite see something looking in. (I had to walk around the house when I leave my room at night with my head down to avoid looking at windows/mirrors lolz)
Its weird, my fears tend to be more social than physical :s

Speaking of strange... now that you mention it... sometimes, while lying in bed in the darkness, I start imagining that there is a deadly poison snake like a ten foot Cobra, at the foot of the bed and it is starting to slither up, up, up just looking for the best place to bite me. Then I start telling myself, reassuing myself that there is no possible way that could happen. Then, I scream real loud and climb on top of my wife shaking her and screaming, "Snake! Help! Snake! Snake! She jumps up and starts hitting me with a shoe and then she pulls the covers all the way back and we don't find a snake and then we go to sleep. With the light on.

Anyone know if fear of deep water and the ocean even just a deep pool go away if or when you learn how to swim?? Cause when I was a little girl I would be afraid of a bucket half full of water. I don't know how to swim.
And I share the fear of lonely dark basements and attics and just the dark.
I don't know if to call it phobia or just fear, but I get really nervous when I have to be amongst many people especially if I have any attention of a big crowd. I am not completely phobic of small tight spaces but I don't like them.
I have a fear of walking down the street or alley at night and have someone unknown following me and/or grabbing me from the back.
And sometimes, depending on where or when, I fear open spaces.

excon... do you mean you live in Seattle, WA?? If so, do you know you're only about 200 or so miles away from me?? By the way I like Seattle a lot, just that whenever I go it's rainy or cloudy. Oh and one of my other fears is to never get to see sunshine again.

Met,
I know someone who used to fear water,but went for swimming lessons for beginners and from there went onto be a water lover.
Maybe not the deep oceans,but yes she goes swimming in the shallow waters nearer to the beach.

I wouldn't call my uneasiness in complete darkness a phobia either, it just makes me uncomfortable and I am not the sweating panic attack type when it comes to basements either.It just is an uneasiness.

I second your thoughts on dark alleys and walking alone at night too.:eek:

Mag!
Are you serious..? :rolleyes:

Arachnaphobia and Clusterphobic (sp?)

How about Dumasaphobia - fear of stupid people

My boss has a fear of bananas. I was told this by another co-worker. I now pack one for lunch everyday and keep it on my desk. She has avoided my area for several weeks.

I have a form of claustrophobia. It's not the small place so much, I could get stuck in an elevator by myself and be fine, but if the elevator is crowded, I am miserable. I hate the feeling of having someone breathe down my neck.

Mag!
Are you serious...??:rolleyes:

Serious as a heart attack! Sometimes it's Scorpions.

Mag... for me it is some mechanical bug that starts to feel around your toes and drills it's way under your toe nails... then it makes it through your whole body... I don't know what happens after that but I know they are real... at least I start to think it when my mind let's me... WOW, this thread is killing me!

Is there anyone out there who has a phobia of being asked about phobias?

Oh well! I am sure that person will be too far away to answer.. no harm in asking though.;)

Oh my yes. I've been tortured by those too!

They sneak up under your covers and when you finally fall asleep... they get you!

No horror movies here, just a spirit afraid of darkness. For good reason maybe I always want to see the brightness and light.

Joe

The dark is good, I can see all the bad things in the light

albear, I see your point sweet, really I do!

Oh my gosh.. after reading this thread... ill be having nightmares about little mechanical bugs trying to drill off my toenails. Thanks startover. Lol :)
I don't think my degree of fear would be considered a phobia, but I do fear getting old. Id rather die now as a teenager.
I'm afraid of people not listening to me when I have something important to say...
Not living up to my potential...
Oh and that scene from The Exorcism of Emily Rose where she is on the floor and her body is deformed looking and stiff... anyone know what I'm talking about? That creeps the heck out of me.
The exorcist terrified me when I watched it, but I think id be okay if I saw it now. Lol.
I guess I could say I have, well maybe had, a phobia of demon possession.

Thalassophobia... absolutely TERRIFIED of the ocean/sea.

I can put my feet in for a minute or so but that's it, then the fear overcomes me.

Thalassophobia....absolutely TERRIFIED of the ocean/sea.

ME TOO!

When I saw the exorcist, me and my brother laughed our heads off throughout the film, my dad looker over at us and said 'this was scary when it first came out', we laughed even harder of course but still, how times change

Thalassophobia....absolutely TERRIFIED of the ocean/sea.

Its usually because its cold that gets me

Is the dislike of something the same as the fear of it? I don't like crowded places, but it isn't as if I will refuse to get into a crowded elevator because I fear it.

Em,
I think fear and dislike is something and phobia is something totally different.
Phobia's would hinder a person who has it from functioning normally in certain situations.

So when those mechanical bugs come to me, and I can't sleep because of them, that is a phobia!! Right?

;)... maybe...

;)...maybe...
Thanks Firmy... thanks a lot! :o

It isn't a phobia, but it used to be scary for me to walking in the water at the beach, because id be afraid of things being in the sand which is can't see because of the water, like conefish and stonefish hurting me.
When I was much younger id be afraid of scorpions/spiders crawling up from the crack in between the wall and my bed lolz

Fear of spiders is mine. Didn't see it on the list.

Pogonophobia- Fear of beards, OK not the fear OF them, The fear of losing Mine(tanned except where it is) :)

Ommetaphobia- Fear of eyes( I don't look in peoples eyes much,its real enough)

Ergophobia- Fear of work( really needs no explanation... lol):)

Catoptrophobia- Fear of mirrors( especially in the AM)

Barophobia- Fear of gravity(in the later years of life... HA)

Arithmophobia- Fear of numbers (The checkbook balance at the end of a pay period)

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.( when it pulls the dentures down with it:)

Just a few of those foolish fears that we all live with, to an extent... :P

LMAO... I understand! I really do sweet... :D

I just came to realize through a dream yesterday how afraid I am of worms... possibly of all slimy things. Well I might even say it's a phobia or not sure... in the dream, I had someone pour a bucket of worms on me and I couldn't stand the feel of it nor just knowing what was on me. I screamed and screamed perhaps even while sleeping. That must've led me to wake up. I have tremendous fear of touching an eartworm. Let alone have it wriggle in my hand or anywhere on my body even on top of clothes. Anyone with me??

Sounds like a good phobia.

I have a 4 foot fox snake living here and I had a fear of them for many years till we got her(a young snake from the wild,attacked by a dog and rescued,only to be donated to the first lucky folks who would take her in,, yes her):)

I also love a friends pet Mexican tarantula, now that's a really cool pet,and I HATE the house spiders all throughout my home(Barn)

Ken

These I share with you...
Achluophobia- Fear of darkness.
Acrophobia- Fear of heights.
Coimetrophobia- Fear of cemeteries... but they are to interesting to not go in them :)
Harpaxophobia- Fear of being robbed.
Lilapsophobia- Fear of tornadoes and hurricanes... been through some bad ones,they are no fun
Virginitiphobia- Fear of rape.

To be honest here,

When I was in college, I feared not making "A"s.

Crazy is it?lol

Not crazy, it would be nicer if more of the students had that fear!
How is it I can get that kind of fear into my children? Please NiceGirl, tell me what your parents did? LOL

I think it's more of a culture thing. They compare their chidren to each others'.

When I was in Japan in my high school , they put the final grades /rankings on the wall of our classrooms.

I have parents' meetings every month, all the grades and rankings are shown to everyone!

It could be illegal here in the US... lol... but it is just how it is in Japan.

Our high family value is expressed by not letting our parents be disappointed.

I do realize that, I think it is wonderful. Good girl sweet, keep up the good work. Remember though, you should only want to impress yourself now, you are a woman!
When you do, it impresses others. Hugs!

A fear of going into ocean waters......I will die of a shark attack, I jsut know it...I dream about it....
even in the bath tub I get the sickest feeling form it.....our pool, yes, and the river...
And people, I know there are no sharks in there...BUT....

Spiders for me too sweet...


When I was young my brother told me there were sharks in the sewer and they could come up the drain and eat your leg off if the drain isn't plugged. Even now if I take a bath I won't open the drain until I'm out of the water. Since I always rinse off in the shower after a bath I have to get out of the tub, wait for all the water to drain then get back in to use the shower. Weird I know.

Stone you don't sound weird at all, remember the first Star Trek, and the bad guys put all those weird robot bug things in the god guys' outfits with the space helmets on and they went through their noses, ears, and eyes? Well, that is right where it all started for me.

Sharks, well, I dream that is how I die, so I figure I will wait till I am 90 to go swimming in the ocean! LOL

Not crazy, it would be nicer if more of the students had that fear!

Nobody aims to do badly,if we all had that fear a lot of people would be living it

True albear, you got that right. :)

I have a fear of people chasing me up the stairs,
Getting my nose broken!
And someone attempting to shave my tongue:O
Weird I know!

I could probably work up a fear of tapeworms if I really tried... :D
