I'm scared of being forgotten...or alone..not as in like no one is around with me or being stuck in an empty room because I love when I have me-time. but more as no friends or no one that cares or notices me. I could be in a room full of people but if I don't know anyone I feel lost. to fill the loneliness I usually get emotionally attached to characters in games/books/movies/shows. but doing that sometimes backfires because they don't really exist then I get really upset...that probably why I'm so obsessed with the undertale sans aus. without them, I would probably be crying in a corner (lol)

The closest I could get was Thanaphobia which is fear of death. I’m not scared OF death, I’m scared of a painful death. I thought this was common but apparently to most people I know they’re just afraid of death period.

Autophobia ( or monophobia)

I'm suuuper scared if needles, but I guess a stranger one would be I'm always afraid that someone's reading my mind and my thoughts aren't private. I saw something where someone said whenever a random song gets stuck in your head out of nowhere, it could be your brain's way of protecting thoughts while someone reads your mind.

I can deal with most s**t, I tell people that I’m afraid of clowns (which are kinda freaky, not gonna lie), but I think the real answer is abandonment.

i'm Trypophobic actually. Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps. It is not officially recognized as a mental disorder, but may be diagnosed as a specific phobia if excessive fear and distress occur. People may express only disgust to trypophobic imagery. The scientific understanding of trypophobia is limited.

please don't let me be the only one.....

I am afraid of really large things. I can be on a ship or in an airplane, but I can't stand next to either one. The thought of being in the ocean and having a huge whale or manatee nearby freaks me out. I know they are harmless, but the shear size freaks me out.

I'm terrified of driving. I'm perfectly fine riding in a car, but I can't even sit behind the wheel of a parked car without going into a panic attack. When my dad found out that I would never drive, he told me that his mom was the same way and never drove until she was in her 60s. I never knew that. Recently, I found out that my brother's daughter is the same way. She's a teenager and should be learning to drive now but she is too scared and wont. She has no idea about me not driving so it isn't something she is copying from me or anything. If she ever has kids one day I wonder if one of them will be the same way, lol

As far as I remember, I've always felt disturbed when I look at eyes, whether it was a picture or I was looking at someone's eyes. It doesn't bother me as much now, but I have no idea what started it. I've also had experiences with Trypophobia (fear of tightly packed holes) before.

I have emetophobia, which is the obsessive fear of vomiting and just the idea of vomit absolutely paralyzes me. If someone throws up anywhere near me, my body and mind will just shut down. And I know everyone doesn't like vomit, but it's just so intense, that even the thought of throwing up frightens me. So, yeah.

WARNING: It's going to sound stupid...

I hate the rhythm of certain sounds. It all happened when I was 8 and caught my parents doing a thing. After that, it could've been the simple things where songs could repeat a rhythm, and I couldn't handle the sound. I would literally need to step away from it completely and take a breather. It's been a good 5 or 6 years, and it's not as bad, but I would still need to drown out the sound with something else.

I am afraid of clowns, but I know that's kind of common (coulrophobia). My weird phobia is I am terrified of a certain color of light blue. I have no idea why. I have asked my family if anything happened that would cause that, but there isn't that anyone can think of. I have worked hard to remain cool when I see it (which isn't often) and chant at myself that it's stupid, it's a dumb fear and I'm stronger than that. I shake, I tense up. It's so stupid.

Agrostophobia - fear of grass.
Yes, I know it's weird.
It stems from my mother who would constantly tell me my while life (yes, even as an adult) to watch where I was walking in case I accidentally stepped in doggo "donations". Now I can's stand near grass without 'seeing' all the grerms and gross stuff that might be hiding in each blade of grass.

I have a ton of weird phobias. I have Automatonaphobia which basically means I’m afraid of humanoid objects such as animatronics and mannequins. Related to that phobia, I also have Submechaniphobia aka the fear of submerged man made objects. It makes me feel icky when I see like, water animatronics or those pictures of the statues under water. I also have a fear of the unknown. I need to know everything that’s happening otherwise I feel unease. Also if my foot touches something in the water that freaks me out. WHAT IS IT?

Fear of getting sick. Specifically, the kind of sick that comes with the stomach flu. Yes, I have trouble even writing the word, and it's idioms. Yes, I'm aware that this is ridiculous.

Emitophobia. I'm not sure on the spelling, or if it's the correct name, because I've only ever heard the name.

Can we talk about how moronic it is, that a searching a phobia online will often include a visual representation of the phobia?

I don't even know if there's a name for it, but certain seeds freak me out. Particularly in apples, cantaloupes, and peppers. Just the abundance of them, how they're arranged. I don't know, it just makes my skin crawl, and I can't even cut up these fruits n' veggies, let alone look at them when they're cut open. I'll gladly eat the fruit though, just as long as someone else gets rid of the creepy part.
