I have a fear of throwing up in public...but it's only a fear. Saying that, I believe my cousin actually developed a phobia of it, as for a while he became a bit of a hermit and hated going out in public just in case said even occurred. Must have been horrible.
Thanatophobia - Fear of dying.
Its nowhere near as bad as I used to be though. Now all I do is think about it at night, which normally leads to me trying to figure out the concept of existing. Its a hard subject to wrap your head around.
On a brighter note. I just farted. Thought i'd let you know

I've a fear of blood and a fear of water, blood is not too terribly bad, I am not going to freak out at a small cut (thought it will make me uneasy) and blood I know is fake (movies, games, tv etc.) doesn't phase me but it's still a fear. Water on the other hand can paralyze me in fear, which is definitely inconvenient.
Same here, even for injections etc I have an extreme physical reaction to them when I get them (Involuntary muscle tightening on the syringe makes it WORSE..Get really sick after and totally hyperventilate waiting for one...)SH4DOWSL4Y3R said:
Heights- If I am near the edge of something high, I will freak out if I have to look down and will immediately think I am going to fall even if there is something, like a wall, between me and that fall. I also am afraid of drains in public swimming pools. I feel like I am going to be sucked down into it if I hear the water draining sound.
No, not logical, but there you go.

Don't know the facny name for it but I really am afraid of open water, atleast when it dark and murky. Hell my imagenation goes crazy when I think about what might live down there...
And heigts somewhat. Aslong as I kind hold on to something I am okay.

To an extent, I still have acrophobia (fear of heights) but it's nowhere near as debilitating as it was when I was a child/teenager; I couldn't take even three steps up a flight of stairs when i was younger. Over the years, I've just gotten over it, to a certain extent, which I'm pretty proud of.
Even though its not a phobia; I totally cannot get on an escalator. I will go out of my way to find an elevator or staircase to get where I need to go. The reason for this is is that everytime I have been on one, I get on awkwardly, and then the entire ride, doesn't matter if it's up or down, I feel like I'm going to fall at any moment. I get a very bad case of vertigo on those damned things.

I have a phobia phobia, and have thus divided by zero on this one.
Seriously though, even if you SAY I have a phobia, I have NO IDEA what it is. And don't even start with the idea that this means I fear the unknown. I wanna go into SPACE, the biggest unknown we have, and explore it. So basically, I have no idea how to answer the question except with a quick joke and a doff of the hat. Ta'.

Got social phobia ever since I spent almost a year indoors during a sabbathical from school six years ago. It has pretty much destroyed my life. Before I was the center of attention and a social guy. These days I got no friends left, and at the moment I havent done much else than sit at home for two years.
Working on fixing my problems more actively now though.

I get this question a lot whenever I tell people I have this fear, I take showers. See I am fine with things like rain or showers or things like a glass of water (drinking one right now) it's bodies of water that I can fit in that scare me, a puddle or a shower is not going to paralyze me in fear.KaiRai said:
Yup but it's no big deal to me. This house has a nice shower.KaiRai said:Ahhh I see...I had to askLeonLethality said:
No. I don't have a phobia. I hate bugs (but they also fascinate me) and don't like being in the sea (nearly drowned when I was a kid) but that's about it. I can easily overcome them.
I do know someone with a crippling fear of cats.

Spiders. I got bit by a black widow when I was five and it almost killed me, so it only worsed the fear I had before. Now if I see a spider, I ahve to stop and study it, judging whether I can take action or not.
Also clowns that look like this

Any time I see one, I make a huge arc around them. If they're dicks, they notice and follow me. Yeah, its weird to stand in front of the county police officer explaining why I beat a clown unconscious in the middle of a carnival...
