Hey guys! I came across a youtube video the other day of peculiar but common phobias humans tend to have. 

Here's an article on it:

So do any of you have a phobia of this sort? What is it like? I have trypophobia and it is not fun. I remember I had this homework assignment one night I had to draw a seed pod and I had to write out a deep legnthy explanation to my teacher on why I couldn't draw or even look at a picture of seed pods.

I don't share this often but I do have a phobia, however I have never been able to find a name for it. I have a terrifying fear of Olympic swimming pool lines. Yup you heard me right those black t shaped lines in swimming pools caused me to have panic attacks. I'm much better at controlling myself now that I'm older and thanks to my husband, but before I met him I couldn't be in swimming pools that had them, heck i couldn't even walk by pools that had them, it was that bad.

I have 

 

1. arachnophobia

 

2. shower-specific ablutophobia (yep, I only take baths)

 

3. achluophobia

 

4. astrophobia

 

5. fear of privacy invasion, which apparently doesn't have an official scientific name

 

Can you tell I have an anxiety disorder?

Trypophobia isn't actual that uncommon. A friend of mine has it, and she basically described it the same way you did.

 

Phobias... Not any permanent ones. The truth is, I'm pretty social, and I can be pretty loud and out there, but I think might have a problem with public speaking. It's not like me, but sometimes it's a little hard for me to have people stare at me expectantly. Which is weird because I'm usually fine with it. But when I'm giving a speech or a presentation I get a little fidgety xD It's embarrassing...

 

I think the reason why it's like that, is because my voice isn't naturally loud. And although throughout the years I've been trying to fix the volume of my voice, I've realized that it's gonna stay like this for awhile, because it's a part of who I am physically.  I can scream when I want to, talk obnoxiously when I want to - but sometimes when I let my voice stay natural, my throat feels much more at ease. But then people might have trouble hearing me, so I have to speak twice as loud as my normal voice. It's something I've had a problem with since I was born. And I think that's why it's a little harder for me to speak to a lot of people at once, because sometimes I don't trust my own voice lol

 

There's a word for this, right?

Not really a "phobia", but I suffer from misophonia, which is basically described as the "hatred of sound". My nerves wreck whenever I hear people eat, snore, burp, etc. It's absolutely horrible to have, because it stops you from forming close relationships with people. Mine's isn't that bad though, but it's still very, very inconvenient.

I have a fear of drowning, though I love swimming and going underwater.

I have philophobia -- the idea of falling in love literally does scare me, and I would attribute that fear to the fact that I haven't had very good relationships with men in my life.

 

I also have a fear of deep water, not sure what that's called, but I don't like to go swimming and just the thought of being underwater terrifies me.

Uh huh....so I have phasmophobia, fear of ghosts, supernatural, unexplainable stuff, paranormal things etc. It was very very chronic back when I was in my 10th grade ans all. I literally used to have panic attacks and sweat heavily. Severe restlessness and fear used to take over me. But its pretty much under control now. I do get some attacks here and there but they are nowhere on a scale as to what they were before...

I have a fear of noir related things in real life,if that makes sense,because you can't really face them head on.Actually I guess I have a fear of anything that you can't confront.
