Do you have a phobia (or phobias)?

I have a bit of acrophobia, but it's not really that bad. I just feel uncomfortable when climbing ladders and stuff like that; I just feel like they're going to break for some reason.
 
I don't feel comfortable crossing streets, especially busy ones, on foot. I'm always nervous I'm going to get hit, even if there's barely any cars or trucks on the street, or even if there's none at all. It sounds silly, but I've always had it.

It makes driving a little bit harder, but I'm able to drive good enough.

yeah, same here, a few years ago, except there was the underlying threat of getting urinated on by bats (apparently, didn't happen to us) if people kept shrieking. guess what people kept doing.

also somebody said only fools and horses was bad and this terrified me



i'm a pretty huge hypochondriac. otherwise, not much, i guess. insects maybe.
 
acrophobia, arachnophobia, melissophobia. and scotophobia

Heights, spiders, WASPS, and the dark. But not regular dark, the dark where you literally can't see your hand even when it's right in front of your face.

Eyes in the dark, dying, thunder, guns, and the dark in general. Going out at night on my own... it scares the crap outta me.
 
Just two
Netubringaphobia

The fear of Netflix and Onion Rings in a bathtub

Smashaphobia

The fear of Smasher
 
I have no phobias, although I'm scared of thunderstorms, spiders, death, and earthquakes. But those are natural fears from humans, so...

those would still be phobias tho :lol
 
Actually, no.

There's a difference between a natural fear and a phobia. Everyone probably has a fear/revulsion of something like spiders, death, snakes, and storms because it helped us in our climb on the evolutionary ladder. Phobias are much more extreme than that, and they have to interfere with a healthy living to be considered a true phobia.

I freak out at pictures of spiders and was told it was irrational

Well, of course it's irrational. But you have to overreact to it, like glue or staple the pages together something, if you have a phobia of spiders.
 
Triskaidekaphobia and cherophobia.

Also I don't know if there's a name for this, but I try to avoid doing things in exactly a certain order (specifically like I did before something bad happened) because I always take it as a bad omen.
