Phobias

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous Conjectures' started by Gist, Jan 9, 2014.

  1. <Starrie> There needs to be a thread about this.

    Phobias are unconditional fears about a specific Thing, which can quite literally be anything.

    Have you found one that interests you?

    Do you have a phobia?

    Post about it here. We won't bite.
     
  2. RE: The Official Phobia Thread

    I have the very generic arachnophobia, but in addition to that, I also have the somewhat odd Globophobia, a fear of balloons. Specifically in my case, party balloons. Other inflatables I don't mind.

    So basically what I'm trying to say is that if you ever want to see me completely lose my shit fill a balloon with spiders and pop it in front of me.
     
  3. RE: The Official Phobia Thread

    One of the reasons as to why I never pursued a medical career was because I have this huge fear of blood. I can't even see my own blood without feeling extremely ill and wanting to puke.
     
  4. RE: The Official Phobia Thread

    My number one phobia [so far] has no name to it, but it's something that of course, makes me "special" I guess. Like I said on the chat, I have an intense and almost traumatic-like fear of overflowing toilets. Like, if you ever want to see me panic and speed walk away like a fag, just lock me in a bathroom with a toilet that is overflowing and I bet you'll have me crying almost immediately.

    Also for the sake of sharing these ridiculous phobias, I'll share this one with the permission of my boyfriend. Apperantly, a worse-off phobia exists that knocks mine out of the park. And he describes it as a fear of having an angry african-american woman yelling at him. And as a wittness hes incredibly terrified of those women yelling at him so much he would lose his shit. He openly admits it to anyone, its the first thing he says.

    Also, can someone please find a name for my phobia?
     
  5. "Now you can contribute to the thread." "What are you doing?" "My all seeing administrative eye can see you doing the thing." --Just some lovely nice @Eebit quotations from this evening as he tries to suck me into posting on all of your threads.

    My phobia which seriously screws me over all the time is my fear of failure (Atychiphobia).  Reading the Wikipedia page is akin to reading about my everyday life.

    As for unusual fears my best friend has a fungus phobia which makes refrigerating cleaning a bit of a challenge.
     
  6. So apparently the whole thing behind my manic depressive is that I have a fear of mania which leads me to depression whenever I have a manic attack. And then I don't have mania anymore so I have no reason to be depressed so I have another manic attack. And so on and so forth. Combined with my hyperactivity disorder this makes up the Espy you all know and love. <3
     
  7. I have a fear of not being scared. It consumes my very being with terror every time I am not in a state of constant fear. help me.
     
  8. Somerhing that I've mentioned to a few people here is that I have a debilitating fear of... Telling people, /especially/ people who are my elders or otherwise authoritive to me, that I am sick or anything like that. It's to the point that even when I /want/ and /need/ to tell them about it, most of the time I just freeze up and can't get it out at all.

    This fear of mine has a lot of history with my dad, who, due to the stress of his job at the time, used to getad really easily, and would get mad at me if I was sick, just because I was sick. So even now, when I have absolutely nothing to fear about it, it's incredibly difficult for me open up. I've been getting better about it, though.
     
  9. I've always had severe claustrophobia, which might also relate to my dislike of large crowds.

    Also I have a feeling that I have a phobia of talking on the phone. I can text. I just get intimidated when talking.
     
  10. I don't believe social awkwardness is a phobia.
     
  11. That's not what I mean. It's not just awkwardness, it's to the point where I'll do everything I can to not talk on the phone because I'm afraid that I won't know what to say or I'll say the wrong thing or I'll misunderstand or something.

    I can barely use facial expressions to tell what someone's feeling, I definitely can't do it over the phone.
     
  12. I do this so much I don't even realize, but trying to get college stuff straightened out today just reaffirmed it.

    I can't talk to people I don't know on the phone. I just can't.
     
  13. ^ Though my reasons are this and because I hate my voice in general. It sounds worse over the phone.
     
  14. If you guys want to hear my real phobias, I used to be deathly-afraid of bees. Now it's just a minor phobia that makes me back into a fucking corner every time I see one.

    Also, ever since getting in a car crash about a year and a half ago, I have had a phobia of riding in cars. Like, I will legitimately flip shit if we hit a bump while driving.
