Hey Pandas, What’s Your Phobia? (Closed)

ADVERTISEMENT

Life can be scary sometimes. Everyone has a few phobias or fears: something that makes us uncomfortable, nervous, and anxious. Share your fears down below and check out other community members' fears. Perhaps you have some tips and tricks to get over them and can help one another out. Maybe you have stories of how you got these phobias?

I personally have autophobia, atychiphobia, claustrophobia, athazagoraphobia, vermiphobia, and trypophobia.

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.

Oh my god sammeee. What if I was murdered in my sleep? What if I was jumped and they came at me with a knife. I do not do well with knifes. Or or what if I was walking in the dark and I was pulled into an ally way and killed? Or shot? Or hung? That would be TERRIFYING.

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.

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....

Taphophobia - fear of being burried alive. I'm scared to being trapped under a building or underground. I don't feel save in subway, in tunnels, basement or cave

I don't know if its an actual phobia or not...I haven't been able to go to a therapist about it, lol...but I have a fear of leaving my house/being in the public. I haven't left my house or gone outside since around 2013 or 2014. It is incredibly hard to handle...my memory has deteriorated a small amount...well, not memory...I'd say I get fuzzy brain sometimes. But the plus side is I have handled the "I'm getting bored stuck in the house" side of Covid, like it's any other day lol.

TO THE PEOPLE THAT KEEP DOWN VOTING MY EVERY SINGLE FREAKING COMMENT THAT I HAVE POSTED: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?!? I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU. LIKE WWHHHHYYY THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH BECAUSE I HAVE DONE NOTHING THAT IS: ILLIGAL, I HAVE NOT BULLIED ANYONE, AND I HAVE NOT CAUSED HUGE DRAMA. TAKE A CHILL PILL. (i will also take a chill pill because I am raging for no reason) THANK you.

Never retaliate to small numbskulls like them. When you show a reaction then they know they have got the better of you and do it more. Brush them off like dust on your shoulder.

I'm a little late (okay a lot late) but I have autophobia, nyctophobia, and horrible, horrible emetophobia. I'm a little scared of my house burning down.

I'm super late to this, sorry! It's the middle of the night and I decided to scroll through bp and stumbled upon this, so I thought I'd share! I have an intense fear of water. Super dumb, I know. It's because of childhood trauma, which makes it really hard to do daily things like shower and use the bathroom. i actually trained my body at a young age to avoid using the bathroom as much as possible, so I only use the bathroom a few times a week. I'm working on that though, because I got bladder stones at one point, which was hella painful.

Alright person- STOP DOWNVOTING SUBMISSIONS! Fears are fears and who are you to judge what other people think?

Upvote. Don't know why anyone would even come to this post, if they don't want to read it.

I have kosmemophobia - very, very badly. A woman who wants to faint when she sees jewelry? Yes! People don’t understand, but I’ve found lots of others with it thanks to the internet. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2015/07/90198/kosmemophobia-jewelry-fear
