What is your phobia?

[Hohofortherobbers]

I hate slugs, I just had to clean out one of those drain nest straining devices on my gutter and there was a slug in it, one of those khaki ones with an orange frill . I'm grimacing now just writing that down. I feel tense and revolted that I know it's up there still. It's ridiculous but I'm going to be thinking of this all day and feeling a bit queasy all day.
Anyone relate to this?

Spiders.
Cotton wool.
Polystyrene.
Runny eggs.
Heights.
Dirt.

Frogs 🤮

Transport. Driving especially. I just hate it. I find it all so dangerous & risky. Trains ok, flights ok but cars, coaches etc, I hate.

I think it stems from childhood, I remember being in an ice cream van (!) with my mum & she crashed it, we only rolled in a ditch but i remember being petrified about my mum being hurt/killed.

Balloons.
Men's traditional pyjamas.
Sweating - I can't be in the same room as DH when he comes back from a run.

“Sinister moths with make up” has actually just made my day 😂😂😂😂😂

The Sea For someone that loves the Beach, the Sea terrifies Me!

Lift doors (and other automatic doors)
Escalators, especially going down
Steep drops/bridges where you can see down
Cyclists on the pavement
Rats
Spiders
Slugs
Snails
Worms
Snakes
All insects really
Cars/motorbikes/lorries running me over if I arrive at the crossing half way through the green man and it changes when I'm half way across

Vomiting. Mostly myself. Others too but only if it could be contagious - DH was very confused during our first year of marriage when I was able to sit and rub his back and comfort him when he vomited from a panic attack but ran a mile with rubber gloves and a Covid mask on when he had a bug a few months later 😅

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia/bridges/eating in public

Heights, even relatively short ones, I can't even go up a ladder.
Spiders, but I am getting better with them.
Deep open water. Nope.

Another emet here! Mine is other people, especially kids because they expect me to sit there with them while it happens 🤢 I used to be scared of vomiting myself, a nasty battle with hyperemesis gravidarum cured me of that part. Exposure does work!

Also birds in particular pigeons and seagulls, most insects especially moths and butterflies, heights, driving.. life isn't the easiest when you live with many phobias!

Touching wet teabags
Flapping birds
Moths
Squeaky runner beans

Balloons. Kids' parties are such fun for me....

Flying ants ( queens looking to set up a new nest)

i hate flying ant day, I could just about stand the huge clouds of very large black things dropping formic acid at random, it’s the little ones clinging to the big ones which are the final straw…..

I don’t much like ants per se, but the flying breeders….🤢

Emetophobia here too.
I work in a school. Thankfully only caught something from the kids once in 13 years.

My 4 year old DD has never had a vomiting bug yet so am constantly on edge, waiting for it to hit ...

All things blood pressure and heart rate.

Slugs yes, grotesque. But I can handle the teeny baby slugs you get under damp wood or bricks.
They're cute.

The sea at night. Blackpool ancient Piers when the tide is underneath 😬

Beards absolutely freak me out. The long straggly ones, especially on 20 year olds with baby faces.
Pogonophopia 🤢

I'm with you.. horrible phobia to have

Driving on black ice

Holy patterns all close up. I can barely type it now and my head feels all scratchy.

I suffer with megolophobia. In particular, huge statues and ships.

That made me laugh. My son hates moths (‘moff! Moff! ‘ he used to screech ) because one landed on his face when he was 2, poor thing.

Height, crowds and mobs

Acrophobia, enochlophobia and ochlophobia

I'll never be found at a rock concert

Stanley knives//razors blades can’t put them anywhere near me without feeling wobbly and need to get away from them

Spiders - stopped the car and jumped out leaving 6 month old ds behind. Called dh to pick me up and spider had disappeared. Swapped cars for the next 6 months 🫣

Wasps - spent a whole afternoon in the kitchen when there was a wasp in the hallway. Could see it through the glass door and I swear it was watching me!

looked up the names -
Xyrophobia, Aichmophobia,Arachnophobia, spheksophobia
