If so what animal. Myself I am petrified of snakes. Even slow worms I cannot go near specially when my cats decide to bring them in the house Shock

I don't like goats. Creepy eyed feckers.

Arachnaphobe. Proper vomiting/hyperventilating. Bad time of year Sad

I don't like the green jumpy amphibious things. I'm that bad I can't even write the word!

I'm not a lover of any animals tbh. It's getting worse as I get older too. There's lots of animals that make me shudder a little bit.

How can animals make you shudder? You are an animal

JeSuisPrest · 07/10/2018 00:11

Sharks. I can't even swim in a pool now. Have a fear that one will get in somehow from our local aquarium. Completely irrational and ridiculous I know Blush

Cows. But it’s more a rational dear than a phobia. I don’t mind looking at them, for example, if they are safely contained. I just can’t cope with being in a field of them (bad experience being chased by one that had escaped its field).

Justbackfromnewwine · 07/10/2018 00:11

Rational fear, not dear!

NoNoCharlieRascal · 07/10/2018 00:12

Butterflies and moths. Nasty flappy fuckers they are.

IStandWithPosie · 07/10/2018 00:12

Very recently acquired fear of dolphins....

PinkArmadillo · 07/10/2018 00:13

Dolphins.

The sneaky clicky fuckers

I don’t think it’s a phobia but slugs actually make me gag and vomit.

PinkArmadillo · 07/10/2018 00:14

Hahaha IStandWithPosie got in before me 😅

RavenLG · 07/10/2018 00:14

Moths and butterflies. I panic and freak out if the come near me, particularly moths. Big ones will genuinely send me into hysterics

How can animals make you shudder? You are an animal that why it’s an irrational fear

IStandWithPosie · 07/10/2018 00:15

Grin pink! I suspect there will be more of us.

Armchairanarchist · 07/10/2018 00:15

Ones with long tails. Full blown phobia.

Heratnumber7 · 07/10/2018 00:17

Dogs. Horrible smelly, barky, slobbery things that jump at you and leave their hair and slobber all over you.

Jagappa · 07/10/2018 00:17

beech that is actually a phobia, rather than just being a bit repulsed

Graphista · 07/10/2018 00:18

Birds! Mums the same so probably learned it from her. It's the sudden flapping, or them swooping near me - pigeons are a particular bugger for this!

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 07/10/2018 00:25

@Beech I'm glad someone else has a phobia of slugs! Nasty, nasty things.

Ollivander84 · 07/10/2018 01:48

Mice and rats. It's the tails
I had to move a dead one out the garden and had a panic attack Blush

Elphabaisnotwicked · 07/10/2018 01:58

Mice and rats... we moved house after having mice!
