MaxIsCosmic Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Dose anyone else have any weird/unusual phobias? I have trypophobia (sorry if I spelled it wrong I'm too scared to look it up) that means I have a fear of repeated holes.

SkyTuneRein Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 If I had a weird phobia, I'd be terrified of myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvest Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Not a phobia, but I get rather anxious when other people touch certain possessions of mine, specifically technology ones. Even if I 100% trust the person if they're holding my phone I'll always have thing nagging feeling that they're going to take information from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aro_elise Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 mine's not unusual, it's arachnophobia. it's quite severe though, like there are countries i can never visit, movies i can't watch. even the little guys, photos, decorations, etc. cause at minimum a brief panic reaction. once i spotted what i quickly realized was just a crab--still cried from the shock. always great when people make fun of it, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they might break it, LOL. Does this count as a phobia? At least it's totally irrational. In my teens my mom moved my computer (that I built myself and saved money for so long) out when she cleaned my room. So yeah, that tantrum was quite legendary. It was basically her method to make me clean my room: "If you don't do it, then I'll do it for you!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you might not want to come to South Dakota then. I have a picture of a wolf spider I took next to a dollar bill, it was bigger than the President's portrait. And in the spring and fall on an open field on a foggy or misty morning you can see the webs they've spun all over the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I am scared of ladders. Not that scared, but scared enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like spiders 🕸🕷. But I still subject them to (careful) forced relocation when they try to spin their webs in my flat (though personally I don't mind, but it's not accepted in my culture). 18 hours ago, aro_elise said: mine's not unusual, it's arachnophobia. it's quite severe though, like there are countries i can never visit, movies i can't watch. even the little guys, photos, decorations, etc. cause at minimum a brief panic reaction. There are terrifying spiders in some horror movies. But you can create such horror versions of all animals. I guess because arachnophobia is very common, spiders seem the no. 1 choice. My young cousin is extremely arachnophobic and even convinced himself that some spiders can fly (actually not spiders but Opiliones), oh dear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acearospec Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 4 hours ago, Fanz_0__Fire said: Pithecophobia. I had to look this one up. (I was hesitant because I was wary of potential images, but I'm glad I learned something new at least.) Mine is not at all unusual - it's a fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia, I think), but it's pretty severe. I basically hyperventilate even just seeing a picture, forget about irl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Veet-Voojagig Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Thalassophobia & Submechanophobia In other words, if you drop me in the ocean or other major body of water it's pretty much over for me.

Alaska Native Manitou Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I don't know if it's weird enough, but everyone else seems to like dogs & I don't. I was attacked when I was a child & being near one freaks me out. It doesn't have to be a big dog - the smaller ones seem to have sharper teeth. I hate people who feel entitled to take their monsters with them anywhere. On 10/28/2022 at 5:05 PM, Fanz_0__Fire said: Pithecophobia. I can imagine primates causing an "uncanny valley" effect to human eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
