To ask what are your odd phobias and fears?

[Pricklypear12]

I'll start:
-large bodies of water (hate swimming)
-those moving walkways at airports (?!)
-large taps/plug holes

Wet tissue 🤢

Down escalators

Open water swimming

@picklebarrelfalls oh I'm not keen on down escalators either!

Spiral staircases and revolving doors

Leprosy. Quicksand.

Going up escalators & bridges - I’m fine going down, but not up!

Anything to do with vomit. Although I was told by my hypnotherapist it’s actually very common and she’s treated lots of women who want to have babies but terrified of morning sickness

Sinkholes and wet tea leaves or coffee grounds

Ooh OP I share your first and last. Also shipwrecks, and unnaturally large objects (water wheels particularly?). Any and all creepy crawlies.

I had a fall on one when I was little and now they make me feel hella dizzy! I can use them if I don't overthink it.

I used to have the down escalators thing (non moving ones even worse!) but living and working in London meant I had to get over it and I did.

Sand

Plug holes in reservoirs can fuck right off.

Frogs

Megalophobia (anything which is unnaturally massive, but for me it’s mostly found in big statues, I don’t like looking at them at all).

Rats.

Childbirth.

Drains
Plug sockets
Guttering
Brambles

Is megalophobia related to alice in wonderland syndrome?

Lift doors

Mushrooms 🤢

Looking up at high ceilings like in churches it makes me feel sick and dizzy and I physically wobble.

Clusters of holes. Trypophobia

Statues like this, Motherland Calls.

I don’t know how anybody could physically BEAR to be that close to it!

Every time I open a tub of baby formula milk I get the heeby jeebies thinking it's going to be filled with weevils.

Butterflies

Holes (tryphaphobia - not a fear as such but just makes me feel ill looking at them!)
Killer whales
People in big costumes (like at Disney)
