Arturia Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hello everyone.. I thought I would start a topic about Phobia's.. I all of a sudden thought it would be interesting to see what type of Phobia's everyone has..Of course you don't have to Mention it xD. Well to start it off I will mention mine. My first Phobia I have that I knew for awhile was "Virtigo" Which im sure a lot of People have a fear of Heights. My second Fear I only found out about half a year ago... "SocialPhobia" Some might not know this Phobia, I found out about it when I was looking through Wiki about Hikkimori's.. SocialPhobia in my sense is fear of Embarrassing situations..Even if that situation were on Tv, I would feel uncomfortable and walk out the room.. It's pretty funny because if it were on an Anime or Vn I would pause it, Wait a bit and resume.. Anyway I am unsure if I have anymore, But I think it would be cool if anyone else had similar fears to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevvrynne Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I do have a pretty horrible fear of heights. I will actually refuse to go onto an airplane unless I'm heavily drugged. And the only way I get that to work is if I get state permission for that... Not only that, I live in Arizona, where the only notable landmark we have is a giant hole in the ground. I looked down that damn thing and I actually passed out very near the edge, luckily enough there was a police officer there to help me. I was also once diagnosed with Anthropophobia that is, essentially the fear of people. But my psychiatrist revoked that diagnosis after a few years.

HackaFreak Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I would not watch Watamote because of what you call social phobia. And heights, fucking heights. Seriously. I also am very much bothered by fish. I don't know if it would be called fear, but I just hate looking at them or being anywhere near them. Freaking, sitting in a pool of fish would be so traumatizing. Claustrophobia, too, I guess. I wanna say it's not that serious, but I'm generally not in crowded places.

Nosebleed Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've always had a fear of elevators ever since i got stuck in one as a child. For some reason whenever i attempt to go in one i just get this eerie feeling and it's too uncomfortable and i take the stairs instead. No matter how tall the building is i will take the stairs. Just the thought of being stuck inside one gives me serious creeps, child trauma sucks~ I also remember getting extremly anxious whenever i was alone, no matter what the situation, this was probably because in elementary school no one remembered to pick me up and i just sat outside the school gate until after 8pm alone and it was terrifying, now it's not really that present since i walk home and stuff but it's still unpleasant to be alone in certain situations but not a fear anymore. Also like people with common sense i HATE heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryofrzd Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a very mild case of vertigo, but I try to get over it with variating results such as closing my eyes and shaking when going up in transparent lifts and then looking into a wall at the top of the building, but sometimes I succeed in getting a glimpse of the view with my eyes or a camera. It's a problem because I love architecture. And one other peculiar problem I have, I feel extreme discomfort touching my own nails or teeth directly with my fingers. I said this to a dentist once, he answered me "I don't like touching teeth either" I don't think I believe him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleys Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Looks like I'm following the common fear of heights. I just can't stand them. I can't even remember the last time I got on an airplane of free will. Then there is roller coasters. Fucking roller coasters. I will never again get on a roller coaster. And finally there are spiders. I don't know what this came from,but I can't stand to touch or even be near a spider. It freaks me out too much.

Flutterz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 There's no official diagnosis, but I am terrified of forgetting events that happened to me. Not the details, I obviously can't remember every single detail of my life, but the fact of them happening. What's worse is I can't know what I don't remember. So for example if I'm convinced that I didn't do my homework yesterday, but then I start remembering doing it or find it done on my desk, that would terrify me. (Obviously I wouldn't forget something as obvious or recent as that, but that's the best example I can come up with) It's actually the reason why I rarely drink anything that's alcoholic, and when I do it's in small quantities.

Arturia Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I was pretty surprised to see so many comments already xD.. Also Watamote is a pretty good example in my case, But if I know the person or get introduced by someone I know then I can talk a Bit better..But I don't know the person or don't get introduced I simply ignore them as much as I can.. Thinking of another Fear I would also Say Rollercoaster's..Although I have never been on a Terrifying one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Now i want to try a rollercoaster for the first time and see if i'm scared of it or not.. Also i admit to being socially awkward, i don't like talking to people at all but i don't consider this a phobia, i just hate big part of the human race.

Flutterz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I was pretty surprised to see so many comments already xD.. It's an interesting topic. Also i admit to being socially awkward, i don't like talking to people at all but i don't consider this a phobia, i just hate big part of the human race. Same here, it's just because some people, myself included, are introverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleys Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Same here, it's just because some people, myself included, are introverts. I am too. It takes tons of energy just for me to be around most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neromercer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Spiders... Arachnophobia, that's the one But recently I moved to a house full of spiders, so I'm getting used to it. Besides that, I do not have any other phobia I do know :/ I'm also quite bad at dealing with tons of people, but that's not really a phobia.

Steve Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not sure if this has a name: Fear of a future without lolis. Other than that, I don't think I fear anything xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakamutt Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have an atypical case of social phobia - got a diagnosis and all. I don't have problems with a lot of things that are common for this thing - for one, not only can I do public speaking, but I was practically top of the class. However, initiating contact with whatever subject is pretty hard for me, especially if it would bother the person in question. For example, I put off finishing my CV for ages since there was a small "personal presentation" thing I felt was judging me or whatever. Basically, I have quite a lot of problems with this. They only affect me in subtle ways, and, for the most part, aren't extremely difficult to deal with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madoka12345 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 To be brutally honest, I don't have any of the normal ones like heights, darkness, being in tight spaces etc. I guess living, or living to long, if that counts since I cannot think of anything else.

Joshyan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 List : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phobia Well, I have mild case of Glossophobia and Gynophobia Several case of Aquaphobia and Hemophobia And a bit of Thanatophobia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'd say I'm probably a little claustrophobic, but in the suffocation sort of way. Small/crowded places don't bother me, just the thought of being wrapped in something and being unable to breathe. I also have an (perhaps natural) uneasiness when it comes to heights, but it's definitely not near phobia level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katatsumuri Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a fear of people judging me. Or more like, I'm afraid that people are talking behind my back. And because of that, I have a mild case of paranoia, mostly involving people going through my stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturia Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hmm I think this is a great topic to bring out something you didn't know about... I remembered I might have two other fears.. One is similar to Gynophobia I think..As I am afraid of talking to them, Always afraid of what they would think. Second When it comes to games(I don't think this is a fear but I am throwing it in here anway) I don't like sticking to one game for too long and I always move onto the next one, and then after some time I go back to it.

GoldenSorcerer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't fear heights at all, if anything I like them, I like to get to a high place and witness the sights from there. And also I get some weird feeling that makes me want to jump off, but of course I can't do that without a parachute or something. Maybe that's even worse than being scared of heights? Phobias huh... I don't think it has a name, but I'm really scared of not being accepted by people. I know it's not a big deal, but some events in my past made me feel that way. Of course, it's not as bad as is used to be some time ago, but I will never forget what happened, so I won't get that feeling out of my head. Other than that, I hate really noisy places, but that's because I get a headache really fast, a doctor told me I'm really sensitive to any noises because my ears are sharper than usual. Good post, by the way ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavinder Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hm...... Any phobia I have now? I dont know if I have a phobia currently. I did conquer one major phobia a some years ago. I USED TO suffer from androphobia. An infense fear of men. It was terrible. I was such a little tsun-bitch back than, trying to mask fear with hatred. Thank your assorted diety(s) for love. Yknow?

meru Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a phobia of public speaking, I get panic attacks When I was younger I had a phobia of tapeworms and was so convinced I had one my parents had to take me to the doctor to prove I didn't XD Seems funny now but at the time I was literally making myself sick with fear.
