Phobias:
Darkness - How do I even sleep?

If you can be in it and sleep its not a phobia, it's a fear ^^

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

Yes, social anxiety/phobias do exist and are actually very common

Thanks for posts guys! Keep em coming

I have a semi-bright nightlight beside me when I sleep, it may still be possible it's a phobia.

Interesting that because your phobia is actually incredibly cureable if you flood yourself :3 Do you know where it stems from?

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

I'm not sure if this is a thing but sometimes when I'm in a room on my own it can suddenly occur to me that I'm being watched and I panic a lot and rush out of the room.

I have a resentment to molds and fungus. That and certain spiders make me apprehensive.

Agoraphobia is the fear of crowds, but that's as much as I can tell you.

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

Everyone uses the word claustrophobic as a normal adjective meaning that you're uncomfortably in a tight space. I get claustrophobic all the time in assemblies at school >.<

Also, not a phobia, but I'm extremely scared of skyscrapers. Whenever I'm close to one I get dizzy and feel like the gravity is bumping and stuff. I feel safe where I live atm.

You can walk up the root on mountains. Buildings? You just look straight up and die.

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

I've never had a phobia, but I used to have severe OCD.   Everything had to be in even numbers.   But then I realized I was being slow and stopped by sheer force of will.

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

Fear of not saying just the right thing (i.e. need to be perfectly understood);

I think I have this slightly

Actually when I feel I'm being watched I feel like it's a ghost.

I guess that's spectrophobia.

I wouldn't call that an actual fear, but I have that.

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

Okay, I have identified one of my real phobias: turning virtual reality into physical reality, and vice-versa.

Specific things that unnerve me: entertainers in full costumes from movies (that's right, I'm unnerved by these guys), talking to people via cellphone/computer microphone, video chatting, talking to people online that I see every day, thinking about myself.
    
This has been a lifelong fear. This is a true phobia of mine, simply because it's irrational.

Any interpretations of this phobia? It sounds irrational, yet at the same time I can feel that it's caused by some established idea. I've been petrified by these things as long as I can remember, it would be nice to know why.

Maybe this is some form of OCD, because in a sense it is obsessive and compulsory segregation of thoughts and actions.

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

Re: Let's talk Phobias!

I don't like open water, such as the sea/Ocean/Lake. I'm fine next to it but would prefer not to be in it.
Also if anyone touches my neck I will destroy them, same with my wrists.
