For me it’s knees
“trypophobia” which is the fear of clustered holes or irregular patterns.
Sharks. I have an overwhelming fear that I’m going to be attacked by a shark.
I live 45 minutes from the beach! It’s completely irrational
I live in the very center of the country. Completely land locked. I have an irrational fear that while swimming in a MAN MADE pool, somehow a shark will be released to get me. Worried about it at 6, still worried about it at 34.
**megalophobia**. I get panicked and terrified around skyscrapers. I live in Jersey and will absolutely avoid NYC as much as I can because I’m terrified of the large buildings. It feels like they are going to crash or fall onto me.
The number between 65 and 67. My dad passed away at that age. I dont like typing it. I wont leave the room if those two numbers are on in time. I wont drive at that number. I wont let the gas pump end on those numbers. So may other things I cant even think of at this time. It has really become OCD at this point.
I’m terrified of touching chalk. The dry sensation on my fingers is unbearable.
I’m terrified of revolving doors; getting trapped in one is a recurring nightmare.
I have a phobia of stepping on cracks in the sidewalk. I always think it’ll somehow cause a disaster.
I can’t handle the sound of sirens, even in movies. They make me incredibly anxious.
The idea of my knees being touched or hit makes me extremely uncomfortable.
I have a phobia of touching cotton balls; the texture just sends shivers down my spine.
I’m scared of using blenders. The noise and the fast-moving blades make me anxious.
Omphalophobia : belly buttons…
I’m scared of using other people’s phones. I always think I’ll accidentally see something I shouldn’t.
An earthquake happening while i’m deepfrying or in the middle of draining boiling hot pasta water.
Crowds..
Emetophobia. I literally go into fight or flight mode when someone pukes or gags. Even just someone claiming to be feeling sick or even joking about it is enough to get my heart racing and anxiety goes through the roof.
I had someone claim they were gonna be sick and bent down towards the ground in prep, and I literally ran out of the house. A different time someone did actually get sick in front of me and I literally went into a fetal position and started crying and hyperventilating. I absolutely cannot be around it or hear joke gags or anything. The joke gags, I can feel my heart sink into my stomach and I’ll start to fidget and get ready and tensed to run away. It’s no joke 😠the strange part is that it doesn’t bother me on tv shows, or if an animal gets sick (like my dog for example), or if it’s a baby having spit up. But let it be an irl video of some stupid challenge that makes someone sick and I can’t do it. It’s a really strange one and one I can’t control whatsoever.
I’m scared of wearing rings because I worry they’ll get stuck on my finger forever.
Escalators freak me out. I always worry I’ll get sucked in at the end.
I have a phobia of jewelry. I can’t touch it or wear it without feeling anxious.
I’m terrified of moths. If one gets inside, I have to leave the room.
I’m scared of sleeping with my feet uncovered. I always feel like something will grab them.
I can’t look at large wind turbines; they give me a sense of dread.
I have a phobia of stickers. I can’t touch them or see them on fruit without feeling sick.
I’m afraid of seeing fish in the water when I’m swimming. They seem too unpredictable.
The sight of clusters of small holes or bumps, like those in a lotus seed pod, really unnerves me.
I have a phobia of old dolls. Their eyes seem like they follow you.
I have a phobia of shadows moving at night, especially tree shadows on my curtains.
I can’t drink from glass bottles. I’m always scared they’ll break and cut my mouth.
I can’t handle the texture of velvet. It makes my skin crawl.
I have a fear of touching metal door handles. I’m always worried about electric shocks.
I have a phobia of people in mascot costumes. I can’t see their real faces, which terrifies me.
