Phobiaaaaa

I actually dislike bugs in general, even butterflies and worms. What I REALLY hate and despise, along with being petrified of, is spiders. I have no clue why. It's like an irrational fear. I can't handle the sight of them, being near one is terrifying. I can't even handle images of spiders, not even some animated ones. I don't know how, but I sudde......   reply

My phobia is Wasps, bees and cockroaches. Well big, flying, hairy insects in general I guess. I can’t help but scream if they were shown in tv and I had times when I threw my phone when there is suddenly a picture or a video of one. If an insect came near me or flying where I can see it, I would run away like crazy, I don’t care if I bump into ......   reply

Buttons have freaked me out since before I can remember. I can deal for short periods if they’re loose or on some one else but if I attempt to wear something with buttons I break down in sobs and hyperventilate.   1 reply

First off, I was absolutely TERRIFIED of balloons before. Not sure why, though. Every time I saw one, my hands would automatically come to my ears.

I've got a social phobia that i'm struggling with, it's getting worse every year and it doesn't seem to get better. There's also my carcinophobia (cancer phobia), along with my hypochondria. Oh and i also have agoraphobia which is the fear of open places, and scopophobia (fear of being watched) but i guess these are related to my social phobia. T......   reply

Bugs. Well I guess bugs isn't rare, as most people are scared of them. There are even certain instances that some large ones look fascinating to me. I always say that if they look like pokemon, I won't be scared to at least look at them, but I'll still stay far away. For some reason, it's the smaller ones that really freak me out. I do recall seein......   reply

The dangers of Self-Diagnosing... and the internet... Please don't SELF DIAGNOSE yourself and call your PET PEEVE, a 'PHOBIA'. PHOBIA is more extreme than FEAR or annoyance or anxiousness... and I think that's belittling the REAL people who have REAL phobias who are struggling everyday. A PHOBIA is an EXTREME irrational fear which is MEDICALLY DI......   1 reply
