Phobias [Merged]

god ... that's an old threat ...

snakes- i just cant stand them

luckily theres not many aroung in the uk but if was to see one i will just run

awww leave the poor spiders alone 😛 is it just me or is half the population afraid of spiders? lol

I don't know if this goes to psychology forum, or not, but...

Some people have really weird phobias...like:

Allodoxaphobia- Fear of opinions.

Apotemnophobia- Fear of persons with amputations.

Bibliophobia- Fear of books.

Chromophobia or Chromatophobia- Fear of colors.

Eosophobia- Fear of dawn or daylight.

And such. What causes them? DO you have strange phobias? DIscuss about them.

SPIDERS ND FEAR OF DYING ALONE 🙁

I'm Arachnophobia: fear of spiders

I looked at the list....I guess I don't have any.

Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.

Okay...what? 🤨

I am afraid of heights and drowning. Not on an extreme level though.

Myrmecophobia: fear of ants > those little bastards, they're planning world domination I tell you!!

Ichthyophobia, phobia for fish. yes, i know i'm weird 😮 its just those freaky eyes...and gills....i dont mind goldfish, its sea fish *shiver* freaky

Some of these phobias are far-fetched like....
Anablephobia- Fear of looking up. *Looks up* scared
Androphobia- Fear of men. scared --> wheelchair
Cacophobia- Fear of ugliness. <You wouldnt like me then!>

A few of my phobias are
Acrophobia/Batophobia- Fear of heights and being around all buildings. (Im gradually getting better about that though 😉 )
Aeroacrophobia- Open High Places. (Deals with fear of heights)
Aracnophobia- Spiders..

I have way more like fear of Big Bugs, Clowns, but I dont feel like lookin em up.
Im slightly claustrophobic, but not much. Just depends.

I used to have a fear of someone touching my wrists and I hated wearing anything on them, but that was because of a phase I went through where I 'cut' myself. It's not even that I was depressed, I know now that I was simply bored and seeking attention, but even at that level any contact with my wrists for a while after made me uncomfortable.

Have you ever broken your wrists or harmed them in any way?

humans instinctively are defensive about their wrists.
kinda the same as how dogs and cats tend to not like their paws touched

Is that a fact? Interesting. I mean, my wrists are delicate enough because I'm small and I also broke my right wrist when I was 15, which I thought might have contributed to the discomfort I felt. I still get weird now, actually.
