Weird Phobias

[Hollyosaur]

I have just recently gotten over an irrational fear of Altas' and maps.

There isn't a name because it's not common enough for it to have one.

But we called it Cartophobia (it makes sense)

However, it was me projecting my imitimacy issues and insecurities on a physical object to deal with it better.

Or so says my Doctor says.

Ever since being hit in the face with a metal bat as a child, I have had an almost crippling fear of baseball.

I have Meleagrisphobia. It's a fear of Turkeys. I get teased about this all the time. I got chased and attacked by a HUGE male turkey at a farm when I was 3, it was bigger and taller than me and I have been petrified ever since. I cant even eat turkey.

Numerophobia is the only thing I can think of.

I have this odd fear of the number 5.

I can't have anything to do with 5. I hated being 5 feet tall throughout my early teen years (thank fuck I'm 6'1 now), I hate the hour 5, I hate the month of May (5th month) and I definitely can't have anything on me relating to 5.

Then you'd hate me - I'm 5'5" tall, my birthday's in May, and I'm the oldest of 5 siblings. One of whom is about to turn 5.

I don't mind it when it's about other people, I just can't have it round me. I can't be 5 feet, I can't be born in May, I can't be one of 5 siblings.

It doesn't bother me if you do or anyone else is, but I just can't have it happen to me.

But it would be like a revenge, wouldn't it ? Like saying, "see turkey, in the end, I preveil ! Who's on the top of the food chain ?".
I mean, I wish I was allowed to eat clowns.

Coulrophobia, fear of clowns. I've had it since I was a four-year-old hiding underneath a table from the restaurant's clown host/resident child terrorizer.

The reason it has not yet been posted is the fact that it is a bit unsuitable to the topic, as fear of clowns is quite common nowadays, perchance due to such works as IT.

I have pretty intense Acrophobia. I went to Switzerland on holiday one time and when i was up the mountain, it got so bad my legs were shaking and i didn't have much control over my body, to the point where i collapsed several times, which i found deeply humiliating. Heights just make me feel sick and give me many thoughts of death or somehow falling endlessly to my death. I can't even look over the side of the second or third floors of a mall without feeling sick.

I have a slight phobia of insects of all kinds (primarily flying ones). I have an anxiety disorder that makes socialising difficult, but that affects me largely when i'm with new people i don't know. Not a phobia but thought i'd throw it in there anyway.

Incidentally i'm wondering how it will be to play Bioshock: Infinite, as it's in the clouds. Watching the trailer alone was enough to make me feel sick, i wonder how it'll be through the actual game. The masochist in me wants to play it anyway though - the very environment will be the most terrifying thing for me. Bring it on!

Anatidaephobia, the fear that somewhere in the world, a duck is watching you.

No jokes, and if I get ninja'd, I'm gonna kill someone.

WTFNINJADBYOP

Oosh, I got ninja'd AND ninja'd at the same time. Do I win?

When I reloaded the page, it turned out I was wrong and it had been posted. I've respectfully edited my post to correct this.

You're right in that a fear of clowns is quite common, and I apologize if my post offended you in some way. I was just trying to contribute to the discussion.

I've tried. Oh lord how I have tried!!! It just makes me feel so physically sick though. Eating clowns should be allowed I feel though.

I am scared of cotton wool. I hate it, I can't touch it. It is weird, when a nurse sticks a 2 inch spike in my vein to take my blood, i'm fine. But when she tries to put cotton wool on it, I run a mile. I am not sure it has a name...

Oh, I can assure you I was not offended in any way. I merely write in this pompous tone in an attempt at sounding cultured.

Not exactly phobias, but mild to great discomfort with a lot of things, like spiders, insects, heigts, large masses of people when i'm among them.

 

[AMMO Kid]

Diachephobia. The fear of crapping your pants at any time because you ate the Cheerios that are on recall because they are giving people uncontrollable diarea... This was about 4 weeks ago.

I don't like mirrors or radio static. I'm sure they both have a name, I just don't know them.
