Tell me a weird fear/phobia you have

[WhimsicalMoth]

I don't meal like bugs, heights, death ... I mean something strange.. unconventional.. something that might need a bit of explanation.

I'll go first -

Water towers ... the thought of them makes me shudder.

There's a certain actor I have a real, physical reaction to, he makes me feel ill, I can't look at photos of him, I have never seen a film of his, even writing this is making me feel queasy.

No idea why at all, he's the only person I feel like this about, and he's probably really lovely, I just can't read anything about him to find out 🤣

Buses.

I have submechanophobia

Wind turbines.
Creepy bastards.

Polystyrene

The bits in the bottom of the washing up bowl

Plug holes.

I know you say heights isn’t weird but it is when you get to the top of a not very high stairs and feel the need to stand at the nearest wall!!! There’s a shopping Center I can’t go into because their escalators TERRIFY me!!

People in animal costumes.

Tissues, loo roll and other flimsy paper. It makes me genuinely feel shaky, sweaty and nauseous.

My local area is covered in the vile stuff.

Google earth

when you click on a location and you have no idea what you will see as you scan around an area. Bork

Also, the sea. Not the coast but like the ocean. Absolutely no need for it to be so vast and dark.
Hideous

Anything very large like wind turbines. I often have dreams where I’m walking somewhere I know really well but a really massive rock has suddenly appeared on the path and it really scares me, I always wake up feeling unsettled.. but why am I scared of big rocks 🤷‍♀️

Chicken Pie

Margarine. Don't call it butter. Even seeing someone spreading it, I can tell. It's not just a dislike, the whole concept of it is disgusting. It's a byproduct from the petrochemical industry and ruins anything it touches. The smell, the greasiness. Gawd...

Had a terrible problem with balloons all my life but knew I had to try and get over it when we had kids. It's largely under control these days in that I no longer feel the need to behave like some people do when a wasp is buzzing round them.

Yes, I think this is something I have too. I've never put it to the test but I am freaked out by it in principle.

Sunflowers.
No idea why,but they give me the heebie jeebies.

People standing on things that aren’t meant to be stood on. Tables and chairs for example

I don't know if it's a phobia as such but i can't stand it if anyone touches my wrists. It makes me feel physically sick. When doctors sometimes have to take my pulse it takes all the strength I have to last those few seconds.

Slugs.
Especially the big ones. I found one in my fridge once. That was a difficult day.

people touching the ends of their fingers together.

Thankfully you don’t see them too often these days (did years ago/my childhood though😨)- toilets with high up black cisterns😦

Also bits of food in the washing up water or sink. I physically shudder at that one.

Trypophobia is mine, but it think its a common one. Its a fear or aversion to small holes, clusters or bumps. 😫 Just typing that made me cringe.

Genuinely interested. How do you wipe your bum?
