    Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13. it's pretty bad. i have to look at another set of numbers after I see that horrid number and that includes any combination of numbers that add up to it, too.

    Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders.

    Coulrophobia- Fear of clowns

    I also have a hard time walking over sidewalk grates, it just freaks me out walking on "air".

    Orthopterophobia- fear of grasshoppers or crickets.


    Crikets have always freaked me the *kitten* out! I don't know if they bite but they are probably the most annoying bug ever! Seriously, what is the purpose of all these annoying and disgusting insects?!


    Im not a big fan of spiders either. If I see one, I won't scream but I definitely jump sometimes. Im allright as long as the spider doesn't fly and isn't the size of a car lol. I have this fear of waking up to a nasty spider in my bed ever since I saw a pic someone posted on the forums here. Ewwwwww.


    Crickets mostly freak me out due to their jumping and it's hard to kill them. I feel like they will jump at my face or something. Horrible.

    I'm cool with your weird hole phobia. Didn't faze me one bit. I've been slowly overcoming *most* of my childhood phobias, and I'm pretty good with most of them:

    Used to be SUPER afraid of heights. Not really anymore.
    Used to be AFRAID of spiders. Now I'm just a little squeamish--I'm the one who takes care of them for my husband.
    Now the only one that's stuck with me and gotten worse is inadequacy, or that I'll f something up, or that I actually am as stupid as my sisters told me I was. That one's been hard to shake. Hmm...that's probably the "hole" I'm trying to fill with food. Ah well...now I'll just try to put exercise there instead.

    Fear of being thirsty. I always have something near me. I have water and tea at my desk and if I get up to leave it for any reason I take it with me even if I am going to be gone for just a minute.

    I am claustrophobic, as well as being wrapped in anything, or pressing on me. I had to take my acrylic nails off because I was about to go insane because they were touching me and I could not easily remove them, it made me fill trapped somehow.

    ETA: I have a fear of being buried when I die which also brings me to my fear of cremation.

    I have apiphobia (bees). I'm scared of anything that can fly and sting you! That includes bees, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, etc.

    I will finch and scream when they get too close, and I know I should stand still, but it's SO HARD!

    Parasitophobia, which is a fear of parasites, like tapeworms and ticks. I've mostly gotten over that, but I have a ridiculous fear of maggots - not sure whether there's a name for it.

    I am famous (or infamous) for this. My nephew recently looked up the term for me: EMETOPHOBIA - fear of being nauseated and/or vomiting.

    What is your phobia or what are you scared of?

    Mine is trypophobia. (have fun with googling that once you see what it is I bet some of you will realize you have this too!)

    GTFO! This has a name!! I've had this for as long as I can remember and it's such a specific hole type phobia. OMG!!!!!
    The hair stands up all over me at the mere thought of a lotus seed pod. omg.
    I feel a little less crazy!

    Mine are:

    Hydrophobia - fear of water
    Acrophobia - fear of heights (no, not vertigo, that's dizziness at heights)

    Makes my life hell, I can tell you. I never flew until my mid 50's, I love flying, scared of actually getting on a plane though!!

    There was one that ****ed me for years. A photoshopped pic of a lotus seed pod on a boob over the nipple saying it was some kind of parasite infestation. OMG. Nearly vomit thinking of it.

    I have trypanophobia, a fear of needles in medical procedures (not anywhere, else, I love crafting). It takes a lot of courage to get myself to do anything medical...
