Weird phobias.

I have a big fear of escalators & elevators, both for different reasons. I also really hate sewer grates & drains.

saprophytic phobia -- fear of mold

I seriously freak the F^%& out if I think there's mold around, I'm afraid I'll inhale it and it will rot my face off. I know, it's crazy and irrational, but it's my phobia.

Rubbing your eyebrows the wrong way!!! cringe!

Zombies - They give me nightmares. But yet I love walking dead. (Though I can't watch it alone)
Plane crashes
Blood - LOTS of it.
Tomatoes - Can't stand the touch or smell of them. But not "scared" of them.

Phobia - n. An unreasonable fear.

A lot of people here are posting very reasonable fears (i.e. - being hit by a train, drowning, being stabbed, bee stings..)

I know a guy with a fear of fish.

Clowns
Balloon Animals
Clowns with and/or making balloon animals
Mascots (even though I was one once)
Spiders (I killed my very first one this year without screaming...usually if I kill I scream, a warrior-type yell, but not really.)

Pregnancy, pregnant women, childbirth and new born babies (it's called tokophobia and it's a real thing)

I also have tokophobia, but mine's just the pregnancy and childbirth. Literally makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. (Seriously, I gag and stuff)

I'm horribly afraid of mirrors, mainly in the dark. I can handle looking at them during the day/with the lights on, but they're evil things. When the lights are off I have to block off the view of the mirror with my hand, and I hate seeing them in my peripheral vision at any time. I'd go in to more detail about how they're doorways/your reflection is basically evil/who knows what's looking back through them at you, but I don't want to sound too crazy :indifferent:

I'm also pretty afraid of the dark, more so now than when I was younger. I get constant flack from my flatmate about it since I told him, and he threatens to switch off the fuse for my room sometimes (though I don't think he would).

I used to be afraid of tape measures, and couldn't even hold one, but thankfully got over that. (Though my heart still races a bit, I hate the idea of them pinging back and the metal bit cutting me or something)

And spiders, but that's obviously pretty common.

Snakes....scream and cry and run all at once

I have an incredible fear of things that can eat me. Bears, sharks, zombies, dinosaurs. Bad to the point where for example if i had to go down into the basement and it's dark i think what if there's a bear down there LOL... things like that.

Also wet hair. I freaking hate wet hair, I can't shower at gyms because of it. Wet hair on the shower wall (I have 4 sisters all with long hair) makes me literally vomit.

Mirrors freak me out to. They are portals to hell. I think if you spend to much time looking in one it can steal your soul. People think im weird for that. When i was a teenage i had a vanity in my room that was my moms and i kept a dark sheet over it. And i had these spider web things that was old halloween decor, they were metal. I think thry came eith some halloween arch thing my mom had. When it got broken I took them off of it and used them too keep the sheet on the mirror. Until we moved in this place i refused to have one in my room. I just have in because my fiance has this skull one he wanted up. But i wont let them in my living room or anything. Only reason im cool with the one in my room is because where it is i cant see it unless i look over there

Second part of that was me....idk why it double quoted me

Onions in cooked in food.... cannot bring myself to eat - IDKY

Ugh, I hate centipedes and silver fish. Squiggly bugs that can bite. Yuck!

raisins- gross and scary.
anything with the consistency of oatmeal on my hands ( I freak the hell out)
people who pop their necks ( but only their necks.. I feel like they are going to die) lol

Velvet and taxidermy. Strange, I know.

Tiny rooms packed with tons of people. :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

oh so this!!!!! I never used to have issues with it.... then went to Walmart one Christmas, and actually had to leave my cart of goodies and exit the store! Now when I go to Walmart, get in elevators, and airplanes.... heart starts beating super fast, I get flushed and feel like I need to run.
