Thalassophobia- fear of deep water and hamaxophobia- fear of driving. I have had my learners permit for about 7 years now coz I am terrified of driving. It’s not the other people on the road that scares me, it is the fact that I am in control of something so big that one mistake can kill someone. My psychologist said it is the lack of confidence in my abilities. I need to find a way to get over my fear soon coz I want to go and study but where the courses are held that I want to do is a 2 hour bus ride away.

Honestly, I've never really been afraid of much. I've jumped off a 150 foot bridge (bungie jumping), ridden the tallest roller coaster in the US and stood on the outdoor observation decks of some seriously high buildings.

But now?

Total germaphobe. Total anthrophobe. Neophyte claustrophobe.

All because of stupid COVID19.

I wash my hands compulsively. I stay as far away from other people as possible and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary. Enclosed spaces are a big no-no...if it's not a cavernous supermarket, I'm not going inside.

Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and Phone phobia are the two I am certain of.

I have somehow arranged myself with the first and am able to handle spiders up to a certain size, but I do *really* fear and hate making and taking phone calls and thus am really, really careful whom I give my number. Having to do telephone interviews is my absolute horror.

I have SEVERE arachnophobia, slight scopophobia depending on the enviorment, athazagoraphobia, ect ect.

On arachnophobia, I am still afraid to enter a room in the house, as there was once a big spider in there. Despite being removed and put in the shed, I have not gone in there in a good few months, unfortunately the ice cream is there, so may I rest in peace. If I see a spider big enough, I will not enter that room until I can confirm no spiders are there. Long legs too. One jump scaring is enough to trigger a breakdown and cause me to tremble and cry. On scopophobia, I used to become alert of the sounds in my area, and become sensitive, thinking someone was there to kill me. I still have this fear sometimes.

Trypophobia
an irrational or disproportionate feeling of discomfort or revulsion at the sight of clustered holes or bumps, as seen in sponges, honeycombs, certain seed pods, soap bubbles, and bubbles in batter

its not so much a fear, its really more of an extreme discomfort

Whenever I’m alone in the dark or it’s really quiet and dark I start getting super scared. I have a nightlight, but my excuse is that I need it so I can see, as it’s pitch-black in my room at night. This gets even worse if I’m thinking about something that frightened me before. Once I had a brief thought about Slenderman and fifteen minutes later if I closed my eyes I’d hear a voice whispering to me or feel a presence looking over me.

This is awfully common, but I have severe arachnophobia. I can't tolerate seeing any size or type of spiders; fictional or not, venomous or not, harmful or not, I fear any structure or being that resembles a spider. Even seeing cobwebs is enough to petrify me. Sometimes it messes with my appetite heavily, and I won't go into details of that.

I have learned that phobias exist for a variety of reasons, or so it is theorised. Some say it rises from our primitive survivalist instincts, some say it's inherited genetically. I'd very much like to know /why/ I fear spiders to this extent. My family members dislike pests, but none of them is arachnophobic.

As long as I could remember, I've been afraid of spiders. Maybe my first exposures to them was this nursery rhyme called Miss Muffet, but again... That would be irrational. ;D

I'm 15. So far I have discovered that I have basophobia (fear of falling), atychiphobia (fear of failure), and a very odd one, Hnirshunphobia the fear of dirty dishes. Or, in my case, trying to clean those dishes. This kinda mixes with my atychiphobia where my fear stems from being scared that I'll do a bad job doing the dishes and get yelled at by my parents. Just looking at those disgusting things makes me immediately want to jump into my bed and hide under the covers. This fear has caused me to break 3 glasses, 2 plates, 1 chopstick, and have about 12 panic attacks. Yayyyyyyy....

Arachnophobia, fear of spiders. Even seeing them in images kills me inside. Sorry spiders, I just can’t. I live in Australia, and it’s common to see them. But they are seriously terrifying.

Katsaridaphobia, fear of cockroaches. I will explain my story. I once was using the bathroom in my grandparent’s home. Out from the roof, while I was on the toilet, a cockroach suddenly fell. That was not funny.

Trypanophobia, fear of needles. They’re just so sharp and scary. I’m fine looking at them in a super far distance. It just, is so damn scary when I get a shot. It also hurts for a few days.
