What phobias do you have? | Dino's Blog

Question

Hey everyone.

I was just wondering what community question/debate I could ask and this was perfect. Feel free to share your phobias/fears and what they mean! If you don't have any or if you don't know, try googling and doing some research. Anyway, here are mine:

Scopophobia >>> (fear of people staring at you)

Eisoptrophobia and Spectrophobia >>> (fear of mirrors and what is in them)

Anthropophobia >>> (fear of people/society)

Autophobia >>> (fear of being alone/loneliness)

Agoraphobia >>>> (fear of open spaces and crowds)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reading my phobias back to myself is a wakeup call. I literally just have every form of social anxiety and of how I look :l

Anyway, what are yours? :)

I’m not really afraid of the dark. I’m just afraid of what’s lurking in the dark…

Also what people think of me and spiders… (mostly bugs. Hen I was younger I was terrified of flies)

Answer 2

Answer 3

Don’t think I have a phobia per say but I hate and fear crickets/grasshoppers/katydids. Absolutely nasty, creepy and scary to me. I also fear the dark a bit.

I don’t think it’s called a phobia if you just fear it, but if it’s fear like the definition then it definitely is.

(Update: I might actually have a mild phobia of barf.)
Definition of phobia for anyone confused:
phobia (from the Greek: φόβος) is a strong fear about a specific thing or situation. In psychology, phobia is considered an anxiety disorder. Phobia is different than just being scared of something. The fear is so strong that it affects, and often damages, the sufferer's life. For example, the person will usually do everything they can to avoid the thing they fear. If they cannot avoid that thing, they will suffer from very strong anxiety which can damage their social relationships, their ability to work, and other areas of their everyday life.
