Discussion Does someone have weird phobias?

[Tiburcio]

I mean, have you a so weird phobia that makes you ashamed of talking about it? That kind of phobias that you can't believe they exist until you see it.

Well... This is your place! I personally have two strange fears that I don't know their name.

-This can sound surrealistic for people who loves that stuff but... Anime makes me very nervous. Or drawings and stuff related with it. I'm not sure why but each time I see something of that I get anxious. You can't be safe in any place with all that anime profile pictures staring at me.

-The other is fear to people with animals and movements related with them. I only feel that anxiety if the animal is acompanied by an human and that's why I feel it so rare. Also I feel it when I'm with somebody who likes animals.

You must be thinking I should be locked in some dark psychiatric hospital. I know it's strange how our minds can betray us in such way. (specially mine, that is a shithole)

Somebody has weird phobias?

Also, if somebody knows the name of the ones I said I would be glad.

 

[Revan]

I guess fear of anime can be classified as "Kyrofelonoshophobia". It's typically experienced by children. Maybe you had a negative experience with anime as a child?

No idea what the other phobia is called though. First time hearing of it actually. I guess I have some research to do. And I don't think you should be locked up for these phobias btw.

It's pretty run-of-the-mill as phobias go, but I think it's safe to say I have mysophobia, the fear of filth and contamination. I can't touch almost anything without feeling the need to thoroughly wash my hands afterwards. I can go to some pretty embarrassing lengths to avoid directly touching things.

 

[Meena]

Fear of public speaking

 

[ultraviolet sin]

Fear of abduction/imprisonment.

 

[millefeui]

My anxiety disorder makes me fear a lot of things, not because of the things themselves, but because of the anxiety attacks I have.

That said, cockroaches horrify me, to the point I will not be able to sleep if I see one anywhere near my bedroom. If that isn't a phobia, I don't know what it is.

 

[mattwitt]

I don't like to have any of my body parts hanging off the side of my bed, and I have to have my closet doors closed when I'm trying to sleep.

I thought you would say fear to aliens



Also, I heard about a phobia that was fear to a empty glass of beer, but I didn't know beer itself could cause it.

@Tiburcio

I fear humans more so than aliens.

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

Being looked at. Sound of own voice.

 

[Life sucks]

I don't know if they are completely phobia.
Probably I have a sort of biophobia.
And also I fear bad things happened in the past and sometimes I imagine bad things happening or imagining myself doing bad things and getting fear.
I have sort of fear of high building and places and fear of sea and water

 

[Pallf]

I've got a bad anxiety disorder in general but I'm particularly afraid of vomit and cockroaches. It's so funny about the cockroach thing because I have an appreciation for all other insects and arachnids.

 

[KCN]

It's not that weird, but I extremely dislike irrational people. It's next to impossible to strike up a significant convo with them, they just need to believe in every kind of imaginable hogwash

 

[Life sucks]

Probably I've got human phobia also

 

[BurningLights]

Irrational fear of most things (thanks benzo withdrawal) but the weirdest thing I've had for a longtime is being drawn on. Like writing a phone number on the back of your hand. I hate it, the thought of it makes me uncomfortable

[ge0rge]

also I'm animephobic as well, not in the sense that I'm afraid of it, but I genuinely despise it with every fiber of my being,

 

[SnowyDreams]

Automysophobia: Fear of being dirty.
Bromidrosiphobia: Fear of bodily odors
(also bodily fluids)
Demophobia: Fear of crowds.

>be me, an intellectual

I'm scared as fuck of being paralyzed or getting brain damaged. I've never had a spinal or head injury, but the anxiety about even the remotest possibility of it happening is so strong that this could be enough of a reason to kms.

 

[Sidestep]

FROGS

There were two by the door to the building last night and just seeing them hop made my chest tighten, my breathing frantic, and tears come to my eyes lmao. Turned down a good research opportunity because I would have to be working with them and then I got a job that has me working with them anyway

Seeing a cockroach makes me want to abandon my home and let the cockroach live there instead. I don't even have the courage to kill them. I live in Florida so I see them pretty regularly. It sucks. I also had one crawl on my ass while I was on the toilet. That scarred me for life.

The same exactly.

If I would see here a cockroache I will go to live to other house. If not, I'll never feel safe here again.

 

[totallyanonv]

fear of mirrors in the dark. when i told this to a christian lady, she went on about how it was a catholic thing and asked if i was catholic. i wasn't.

I once had the pleasure of being greeted by a cockroach when I pulled over my towel right after taking a shower. The bugger landed between my breasts. Needlessly to say, I took another shower... shaking intensely. So I can relate.
