Let's talk Phobias!

Alright, basically, just out of curiosity reasons, I want to know if someone on these forums has an ACTUAL phobia and what it is...

Just to clarify... not everyone has a phobia, everyone has fears, but not phobias. A phobia is an irrational fear.
E.g Most people say they are arachnophobic (fear of spiders) when in actual fact they are not, they can look at spiders, look and touch pictures of them, and they aren't afraid of the little ones, that isn't a phobia, it's just a fear.

For some reason I find this crap fascinating and I want to know other peoples, if they got one :>

If anyone for some reason is interested in mine I have pigeons, not birds, just pigeons.
I flinch and jump whenever I see one, If I ever see one walking towards me or flying at me I immediately run or duck or hide, I actually have no idea when or why this started but yes I can't stand those pesky little MF'ers, they scare the **** out of me

YOUR GO! Discuss. :>

School. I'm not just "scared" of them. I was eventually told I have a real phobia of school. I had to get home schooled in the end. actually still have this phobia, even though I'm at college now. Which is odd, as I haven't got a phobia of college.

Claustrophobia.

Also, stupid people. I always seem to run whenever I see one.

The slightest sight of blood makes me nearly vomit. When I bleed I usually do vomit.

Do you ever see any animal blood, at the zoo where you work, how does that make you feel?

I think I have had a phobia of throwing up, though it is less severe now. I believe I have also had a phobia of spontaneous human combustion.

It's fine. What we don't like is commonly reposted topics, like birthdays and Youtube videos.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

I don't know. Maybe I have a phobia of social situations, meeting people? Is that a thing?

I feel like adding I have a new phobia of walking alone at night, cause here in Chicago I feel like somebody gonna come out and spray you with bullets. And blood. I can't stand thinking about blood/bloodstream it makes me feel queasy. I know your pain, Krubby. Well, maybe not that much. A little blood tastes good now and then.

Are you sure it's not just an aversion from confrontations due to a dislike towards stupid people? So, like, if you don't know someone then you can't trust them to be likable and end up with a natural dread of meeting people you haven't identified. Or do you mean meeting people you already know, too?

Sometimes both.

I know how you feel with the OCD, My mom has serve OCD, she won't shake peoples had, she cleans the house thoroughly everyday, vacuums every room everyday, sprays disinfectant around the house everyday. She's always washing her hands too.

How does any of that make you "messed up person"?

They seem pretty reasonable things to be afraid of.

Well at least you don't have a fear of children growing up, or something weird like that.

Isn't that the "somehow, somewhere, a duck is staring at you" phobia from Far Side?

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

Phobias:
Darkness - How do I even sleep?

Fears:
Bugs that can sting
The tiniest bit of bleeding
Heights

I had to get home schooled in the end.

I thought I was the only person who plays Everybody Edits and is home-schooled. I guess not.

Haha. Nah. I would have missed all school education, otherwise.
