Everyone is afraid of something. Here, you can tell what you are afraid of. I am afraid of clowns (I freaked out when I saw the Joker trailer.) If you have the same fear as someone, just say "same" in the comments. You can also include how you got that fear. You can also give some tips on how to overcome that fear! No making fun of people's fears. We all have different fears.

#1

Tesslaphobia! No, this isn’t fear of Teslas. It means, “fear of the deep ocean”. I have a paralyzing fear of swimming where I can’t see the bottom.

Athazagoraphobia - I'm really anxious when I'm thinking I'm forgetting something. I make ToDo-Lists and notes on a daily basis. Alarmclocks are my best friends. I also find the thought of being forgotten really unsettling.
I'm also not the biggest fan of spiders :l

Metathesiophobia, or more commonly known as the fear of change. Now, I'm not afraid of change in the way you may think, I fear that once a thing changes, we can't it back, it's just stuck there, until we change it again. You might be thinking, no s**t, sherlock, but if you think about it, not all change is good, take pollution, for example. It kills and harms wildlife, and maybe, just maybe, some animals will evolve to adapt to the terrible conitions. And humans hundreds, even thousands of years from now, will look back and think, ''Why couldn't they have stopped it'', change is something we all go through, but it's something you're powerless against.

i am scared of being alone and forgotten. not like being isolated from humans, but it's more like being in a room full of people that you use to know but no one remembers you. or its like when you hanging with your friend but then they see someone they know and just leave you to go hang with their other friend. i like to spend time alone and in my room away from everyone. but sometimes I need someone even if they are a video game friend that you don't really know. I'm kinda clingy but only with people that I have known for a long time and we are really close. also, I tried to grow up way too fast so i get overwhelmed way too easily, and when I'm stressed i will tend to act younger than I am and i will block out reality until i am calm.

I have a hard time crossing anything that I can see through like a glass walkway. I don't get in glass bottom boats but yet I snorkel. Yup, doesn't make sense but there it is.

My greatest fear would have to be trypophobia. It's the fear or disgust of tightly clustered holes. I fall under the disgust side of it so things like lotus seed pods make me feel I'm going to throw up. For me it's the worst when I see it on human skin, it's just nauseating to me.

Terrified of being kidnapped. I looked it up, and apparently it's a valid phobia, but there isn't a name for it. It's gotten so bad I don't even like going outside by myself anymore.

Fear of failure. It paralyzes me, and I opt not to do anything (most of the time).

Chronophobia, or the fear of time/fear of time passing. I often find myself thinking at the end of the day how it went by so fast, and it makes me anxious. I have been feeling like time is limited (which it is, on Earth) but that it is going by so fast. COVID hasn't helped; it has just made it worse, making me feel like I'm spending my very limited time rotting in my house. Anyways, I am young, and shouldn't be worrying about this, but I am a relatively anxious/deeper thinker for most people my age.

Elevators. I'm afraid that the cable would suddenly snap and the brakes would fail and I would come crashing down in the elevator. I'm also afraid of getting stuck in the elevator. and rollercoasters. Especially the ones that go really high. and upside down. for some reason, I think that I would go flying/fall off the rollercoaster.

I have a fear of being in places that I can't get out of, being trapped etc, but only when I think about it too much. When my fear you could say, activates, I start hyperventilating and trying to find a way out and beginning to worry that I could be trapped there forever, it's terrifying.

I have tokophobia or the fear of giving birth. I am still very young but the knowledge that someone is inside your stomach and moving and alive makes me a bit nauseous and makes my stomach create these painful knots. And the pain you go through in the delivery process..... just can't. To the people that have given birth a salute to you you have the strength that I can never have.

Glitter on my feet...weird one, but I go bare feet all the time and I always used to get that stupid stuff on my feet. Also, anyone know why some objects(won't say here bc it's stupid and embarrasses me) make me jump back or gag?

So this is kind of a weird one, but I have Trypophobia. It's a fear of things like holes, or specific patterns. It just makes me shiver.Oh, and I'm also not a fan of spiders:
