Coulrophobia brings on feelings of fear when you see clowns or clown images. It's a specific phobic disorder that causes anxiety, a racing heart, nausea and profuse sweating.

I don't have those reactions, but they make me very uncomfortable and I start imagining all the worst things - like they are serial killers or going to do something very bad to someone. Probably have watched too much TV in my life.

Trypophobia, including clusters of little things, like fish eggs.
And fish with missing eyes. A fish store in my city was selling piranhas with no eyes or one eye. It was so gross and creepy.
Fish just disturb me. We had a piranha and a coconut convict in the same tank living in harmony for a while. I guess my dumb ex wasn't feeding the piranha enough and started eating the coconut convict, but not entirely in one meal. The damn fish was still alive when it was just it's head, laying on the bottom of the tank, looking around and bopping it's mouth. Before it was eaten it laid eggs on a rock in the tank. My ex couldn't have shown it to me any creepier than he did. "uh.... I think that coconut convict was a female. Look at the rock...." "Ewwww" and the piranha ate the eggs, too.

I'm not exactly courageous, I have many regular phobias, but the weirdest fear that I have is a fear that I have no fear in very serious situations. It irks me to the point you won't believe. In short, the realization of the absence of fear in a situation provokes fear in me. But technically it's more of an anxiety thing, where there is no object of fear.

my sister is afraid of faces, specifically photographs or drawings. animal or human, doesn't matter. she'll move so she can't see them, or take them off the wall, or cover them somehow. it's a trip to watch her squirm if/when she can't avoid them. it also leads to a lot of lying on her part, since she doesn't want people to know she threw their photos and drawings away.

I don’t know what some of these are called so bear with me a I I can't be bothered to Google them.

Claustrophobia
Scared of quiet
Silence
Admitting my feelings (don’t know if it’s a real thing but whenever I go to say like I love you my brain just seizes up and I just end up not saying anything)
I have social anxiety I suppose that technically counts
Bridges
Public transport
Night time
Sleeping in the dark.
Yeah I am really paranoid. All these things make my anxiety go through the roof especially the dark and the quiet like both of those together make me so so paranoid

I don't know if it counts as a phobia, it doesn't cause fear but instead a visceral disgust. I've only ever told two people about it in my life and they both used it against me. I told a kid in when we were both in the second grade (USA) and then I told my adult daughter about 5 years ago. Both thought it was hilarious and used it against me. My daughter claims to have forgotten, I won't be telling her again. Y'all here can't do anything though, so.... I cannot tolerate little pieces of paper or bits of garbage around me, on me, especially thrown at me! It makes my skin crawl. This applys to food containers too. If people leave garbage on their plates, inside their glasses, cups. I stay away from those people forever.

Vespaphobia: fear of wasps.
The funny thing is I love most arthropods, bugs, bees, spiders, whatever you want to put in front of me, but wasps or yellow jackets? I will freeze in place until it passes or run out of the room. I once locked one in the bathroom and held it for an hour for my Dad to get home. In the summer I carry wasp spray around the house (only thing I kill are wasps and recluses) and I even keep a good distance from Velvet Ants because guess what? They're wingless ground wasps. Eeegh

I will automatically do this without thinking or realising it, but I automatically lift up my arm and cover my chest when strangers scare me. I think it's like some natural reflex or something to protect my heart and lungs if I get stabbed, I guess.

It’s not a phobia yet but I’m working up to it - I hate food touching other foodstuff on a plate. And if anyone dare pour gravy (the British variety!) over any of my food then don’t expect me to eat it. Do not put butter on my bread either.

I’ve been like this since childhood so perhaps it is a phobia after all and just can’t admit to it.

idk if this is a proper phobia but…

when i was a kid i sometimes watched this show called Numberblocks? (i think that’s the right name). it was basically about numbers and about subtracting or multiplying or whatever to teach children maths i suppose

not only were the numbers freaky as hell, the villains were the scariest. the one that scared me the most (i’ve forgotten his name) was this old guy dressed all in white- i think he’s called the subtracter - and he would “subtract” numbers with a big white hook.

Agoraphobia. (Fear of big crowds)
I once went to a trampoline park with my whole Stake Ward, the whole waiting room was full and my friend, who wants me to get over the fear, dragged me into the middle until there was no way for me to get out of the crowd without brushing past someone, because we were so smooshed together. I started hyperventilating and ended up hiding outside for the whole time. Still makes me scared to think about...

Crickets. Orthopterophobia. We had a cricket invasion back in the 80s. My cat would chew off a leg and watch them hop in circles until they ded. All I had was a little stick vacuum. I started with the little ones, ok. A bigger one got sucked up, the machine started to smoke. I unplugged it, and IT KEPT RUNNING! Our house now has crickets outside, but the lizards eat them. Occasionally one gets inside, and hub will catch it in a cup and throw it outside. Then one day I glanced at a big floor cushion, there was a 10 inch long grasshopper on it! AAAAAAAHHHHH!

I have several and I’ll list them in order of my level of fear from 1. manageable
2. Takes great effort to manage
3. Crippling

1. Crowds, jump scares, germs
2. Feet. Baby feet are fine, once someone hits double digits in age, I want no part of them. Don’t touch me with your feet, don’t touch mine, I don’t care if you think they are beautiful with your new pedicure, they aren’t. In my house, wear socks because I don’t want to see your feet. Worse is if your feet touches me. I will flip out and have threatened to break bones if you touch me with your feet. Balloons, everything about them but the random popping feels like my heart is going to burst.
Unworthiness. Fear of just not mattering. Fear of becoming seriously ill or injured and no one cares. I’m convinced if I were to go off the grid or something terrible happens and I disappeared, no one would notice or care.
3. Lightening. I will not leave my home if there is even a chance of rain. It’s from Trauma and no amount of therapy will cure it. I’ve tried. I will avoid it at all costs and if I can’t avoid it, I go in a room with no windows and put in earplugs and take a klonopin to stop the panic… which just takes the edge off. It is truly crippling.

I’m a hot mess. God bless my husband who is super supportive and loving. Life is hard y’all!

Pretty sure this doesn't have a name but it's strong enough to be considered an irrational phobia but I have an intense awareness of drinks spilling.

I always push the cap back onto any bottles and if I don't I physically can't let go of it.
I have a similar thing about things actually catching fire from candles but the drinks thing is definitely the most irrational

I don't know if this is a phobia, but I get queasy when I see a messy living space, even if it's not my own. My reaction is proportionate--a bit untidy, I feel mildly uncomfortable, but in a place that is completely wrecked, I start to feel my scalp tingle, my stomach surges and I can go into a full-blown panic. The reason I'm not sure if this is a phobia is because this is not irrational, it is a learned behavior.
