I've got a rather irrational fear of the deep sea. Chances are I'll never be down there, but my mind begins to wander when I think of the horrors hiding down there..
Closest thing I've got to a phobia is an all-encompassing aversion to marijuana. Not sure if it's a phobia, or if there's a term for it.
Like, I flip every shit and my body has two options: lockdown or run for the hills.
EDIT: I am incredibly thanatophobic.
He didn't like that.

I have a friend that's got that. I used to send him pictures of honeycombs, which were the end-all-be-all for him.TK421 said:

Acrophobia, or rather I feel it is the fear of falling off the ledge when I am high up.
Even in games, Dark Souls is doing me in on that account.

I'm afraid of dark, open spaces. I can handle darkness and I can handle open spaces, but if they're combined... just nope
I was playing Skyrim a while back and this freaked me out. I was trying to stay as close as I could to the mountain
These threads always seem to annoy me, so I'm not entirely sure why I keep coming on them.
People seem to use the word "phobia" way too lightly. It's supposed to an irrational fear so bad that it's very presence or thought is enough to disrupt every day life, and yet most people in these topics rattle off a huge list of phobias like it's no big deal. If you truly had all of those phobias, life would be very difficult for you and I refuse to believe that there are that many people here.
I'm sure some people are telling the truth, but most people will be exaggerating.

I guess the most concise term I can use for my phobia is cnidophobia. However, it's less a fear of stings than it is stinging insects in general. Hearing their buzzing makes me nauseous, and if I'm anywhere near one, I absolutely freeze, and I eventually start to shake and hyperventilate. One of the most terrifying moments of my life was when a yellow jacket climbed up my leg and onto my hair and face during a class in college. I was lucky that the professor noticed and killed the thing for me, but had he missed and it started flying, I would have had a downright panic attack. I'm even more nervous around a swarm of stinging insects, but having even a single one close to me makes me feel like I am brushing with death. The fear is absolutely irrational for me, and is a phobia because of that.
(Whoops, double post)
Just to not waste the space, I also have a rather irrational reaction to any pressure placed on the front of my neck. If someone even slightly touches my neck, my brain tells me that I am being strangled and I freak out. This even happens if a person hugs me in such a way that they cram their shoulder into my neck. I seem somewhat able to internalize the reaction, but it makes wearing scarves or anything that wraps around the neck rather difficult (good thing I live somewhere warm)

I do not believe in phobias. The only thing I could think of that gets me close to experiencing the joys in the life of a phobic would be that people find out I am a transsexual vampire alien agent from wegvsdnslke. That would be pretty embarrassing, as it's as secret as Operating Thetan Level 8 stuff.
I have a fear of frogs/toads, but I don't know if there's a word for that.
I also have a small case of acrophobia, as a tall man, I can handle some heights, but the areas that are extremely high up from the ground, such as a skyscraper or multi-story building, I start getting a little uncomfortable.
