Listen, many people out there have phobias. Some are severe, some are minor. Some are big fears, others are small. For example, you can be afraid of bees or afraid of germs. You can freak out when your high or you can simply shudder. Whatever your phobia (if you have one) you shouldn't feel ashamed. So, for all the people out there with phobias, here's a place to talk about it--perhaps with another person that has that phobia!
Do I have a phobia? Why yes, I do. It's called melissophobia--the fear of bees (and wasps). For me, I'm in the middle, yet I lean more to the severe side. When bees are near me, I crouch on the ground and try to protect myself in any way possible--including using a human shield XD. And guess what? I've never been hurt by any sort of bug--ever. It's purely psychological. I nearly flunked my English test because there was a bee in the room. I could hardly concentrate! Anyway, when I can see bees from afar, I sometimes scream, but always dash off and hide, or just keep running. My fear kicked in when I was around 7. From then on, it's been getting worse.
What about you?

-
Wait a minute...are you saying you're afraid of bees or scary t.v. shows? Or both?
And btw, scary t.v. shows are MEANT to be scary...o.O

I have a phobia for sharks. Sadly, my friends find it amusing to send me pictures of sharks.
A guy I used to have a crush on made me watch Shark Night 3D while he slept.
And then we have this (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=30372.0) thread. I don't mind it's existance, but it had me in tears after the first image popped up.
I have still not been able to read the thread. x.o
-
Oohhh...yea. My friend has a fear...I really don't think it's severe enough to be a phobia....of sharks. We went on a field trip once to sleep-over at a "marine zoo" (I totally just forgot the name of those XD) and the girls had to sleep in a room with a shark swimming in a tank with tons of other fish. She barely got any sleep :I. Neither did I, since she kept squeezing my hand so much that I kept waking up lol.
She also has a fear of heights, which I do think is a phobia. She was in tears when we were on an old battleship, at the top of it. :I
-
I love spiders, snakes, and other things others are normally afraid of. My phobia? I am scared to DEATH of things that don't exist. If you give me a deadly snake, heck I'd play with it until it killed me. You tell me a myth, and I'll be blockading doors and putting out the creature's weakness everywhere. Never makes sense.
-
I am horribly arachnophobic (fear of spiders) I once ended sleeping on the Sofa because I saw a spider on the stairs and refused to go past there. If I happen to see a spider (I don't care how far) I'll run away screaming bloody murder.

Ha, that reminds me.
When I was 12, we went to a 'museum' in Gothenburg. There was a tank with sharks in there, a tunnel leading through.
Either way, my class mates wanted to go through, and I told them I couldn't. I was too scared.
So they said they'd lead me through, held their hands in-front of my eyes and I closed them.
"We're there." they said, removed their hands, when I opened my eyes, there was a big shark swimming towards us.
Sooo yeaa. I can't exactly remember what happened but I believe I was crying. xD
-
Well that's a mean prank >:(
Once, a boy in my class (On April Fool's Day) told me there was a giant wasp behind me. I made of fool of myself screaming and running around. My girlfriends were about to hammer him XD He was just like O.O "Never messing with a girl again..." lol
-
I have an odd fear of Limes-
Don't ask why, but I just get all squeamish around them. ;~;.
This was found out when my friend started playing around with a Lime in the Cafeteria (While I was basicly petrified)- Because of that incident, I'm permitted to eat in the classroom with the teacher whenever we have Limes oVo
Iswearit'stheoddestfearever. Yarp.
-
I have lots of fears.
Heights (biggest one)
Getting eaten alive, watching things get eaten alive, basically Vore (Creeps me out so much. Don't know why people have a fetish of that)
Drowning (Don't really know how to properly swim because of that. <.<)
Being alone without friends (I NEED MY FRIENDS, so I look up to them a lot and people start to hate me because they think I am stalking)
Being in a center of attention over a big crowd
I don't want to post a wall of China, so I cut it short.

Hrm. Interesting thread, interesting fears.
I have Entomophobia, or the fear of insects. Some don't bother me, such as bees (not wasps, bees) or moths. But other bugs... It's not that I just dislike them or find them creepy, I get actual anxiety being near mostly any insect. It's ridiculous in my own eyes, but it still frightens me to no end. On a similar note, I am also deathly afraid of spiders. Some of my friends find it amusing to freak me out by linking me to pictures of them, and as I'm sure Ressy there has noticed, it leaves me at the end of the room screaming.
Used to fear heights. Not so much anymore.
I also am utterly afraid of something called Locked-in Syndrome, which is when a person appears to be in a coma but is still completely aware of their surroundings and can still hear, smell, feel pain, etc. Like being trapped inside your own body. It's actually why people were buried alive back in older days. And if you know me, you know I have an extremely low pain threshold sometimes. Like I refuse to get my wisdom teeth taken out because of the pain. It also makes things like headaches and back pain a LOT worse for me.
Also fear the dark. Not really the dark so much as it is what's in the dark.
-
My phobias/fears would be thunderstorms (weirdly not the flash but the sound of it) and heights.
I had a really bad experience with a thunderstorm as a child, so I can get really worked up during a bad storm.
I can handle it better now as grown, but the fear is like stuck in my soul so I get nauseated, a bit shaky and I have to turn off things like the TV, the iPhone, computers, heck everyhting that is electric during the storm..
And then heights. I can't even describe the fear I get when being forced to higher grounds... I am usually very very good at keeping my fears at bay and to handle stressful situations but this is one thing I can't handle. I only have to look up towards a high building or something like that to feel the ground sway underneath me.
One goal in my life is to make a parachute jump and over come my fear of heights. I can't tell you when/if I will overcome this fear and be able to do that jump though~ ;3
-
I am afraid of:
Bees, Wasps, Insects in general..ill go screaming out the room and or crying like crazy if it flies around or come near me. Ill jump up in class or anywhere, and when a bee flew into my mother's car one time I was about to jump and roll out that car..i'd kill myself if one came near meee. >_< I freak out whenever I see something on me, and I start flailing about. I make a fool of myself whenever they are near, and I always sometimes try to relate to other people lol.
I have a strange liking for heights..O_o Like i'm trying to kill myself or something, I just like to peer down off a rail, but ive never been near a cliff or mountain. I guess i'm scared of them a little, i'd be terrified if I had to jump off a cliff to save myself, or go on a parachute jump.
I'm scared of thunderstorms too! I get so scared when there is a loud boom, I jump up and either run to someone and completely hug them until its over. xD
I'm scared of the dark, and sounds whenever its dark. xD
I don't like it when I feel something unusual touching me, ill jump up, smack whatever and then start flailing like crazy.
I have a fear of sicknesses, death, infections, wounds, and all that crap, I could NEVER be a doctor, I get terrified whenever I scrape my knee or something like that..
I have a fear of..well..I dunno how to explain it, but i'm really paranoid, like while I type this I constantly look behind me..-slaps self-
I'm scared of 'zombies', 'monsters', and all that stuff in movies, even if its not real..I'm scared of it. XD
I'm scared of being alone..
I'm scared of being the center of attention >_< I get all sweaty and hot and I start shaking until the attention is brought off of me, then I feel like crying and either look down or something like that.
I am scared of dieing. ;P
I have much more. ;P But this is getting long
-
Wow I'm glad I made this post. And ??????z?????z????, I used to be "paranoid" too. Lol. Whenever my dad entered the room without me expecting it I slapped him XD. I used to look behind for anthro crocodiles and zombies...it's weird...
-
I used to have cosmophobia or something like this.It means fear of outerspace and everything that it's related to it.I remember every small plane for me was a meteorite colliding with Earth.Anyway i used to have such fear because of all fake predictions and of the documentaries about space I watched.Now I dont care much about it xD
Another thing I fear of,insects.(except butterflyes,I Love Them!)Usually spiders.I just need to keep my distance from them wherether they're dangerous or not.
Fear of heights.Gosh,I'll never board a plane EVER!
And lastly the most common fear,fear of ghosts.Okay I no longer have such fear but I still won't have the guts to play a horror game or watch horror movies.Brings back memories that make me laugh sometimes.
Fear of blood.Don't know why many peple aren't satisfied without playing games or watching movies full of blood ugh!Makes me sick!
-
Yea, when people meet me, I'm try to send the message, "Look at me. I'm strong. I have a strong stomach. I'm not scared of anything." Then a tiny little honey bee buzzes OUTSIDE by the window and I scream and run away. -_- Or I push the person in front of me and slam him/her against the window, thinking, "Eat that person, not me!". XDD
-
Ahehe.. I have a fear of spiders, Micheal myers, And sadly, getting shot. We have alot of shooters in our neighborhood. Surprisingly, I keep a ton of knives on my desk, just in case XD. I also have a fear of being around alot of people that I have never met. Im also afraid of heights. I really dislike being around lots of people because who knows, They could be rude.
-
I'm afraid of:
Spiders
Specific CreepyPastas like BEN DROWNED.
Aliens (Meeehhhh... I hate them... friends laugh at me for that)
Getting eaten alive
Real life body parts (and people eating them RAW.)
Looking at the inside of a stomach/body of something... DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT JABU-JABU. -shudder-
I also have a slight case of cosmophobia, the same as fuzzle the fox.
-
I am horribly arachnophobic (fear of spiders) I once ended sleeping on the Sofa because I saw a spider on the stairs and refused to go past there. If I happen to see a spider (I don't care how far) I'll run away screaming bloody murder.
I'm scared of spiders, too, but in a less severe manner....
-
I have a fear of bees, I do not know why, because I love other bugs. When a bee, or wasp, is near me, I will run. I will run so far away xD I am also scared of spiders a little, by which I mean I wont RUN from them, but I'll call someone else in the room to get rid if it. Other fears...hmm, I used to be terrified of the dark. Well, not the dark, but what my mind THINKS is in the dark. I akso have a weird fear that I feel like someone or something is always watching me, and I tend to look behind me or in dark corners for the source of the feeling. I always, or mostly, feel this way, but I am not really too scared of it, it's more of an uncomfortable feeling. I just dont like it. Hmm, I used to have a fear of being alone, but I'm alone a lot nowadays so I've gotten over that fear. I am also a bit scared if sharks, but that's not a huge fear, and I am okay with them if I learn more about the species that I am near, but I am scared of them enough that I wont swim with them (I had a friend who did that, I was like, "Wow, you're crazy" and he was 10 when he did that xD) That's all I can think of now...but I may have a few more.
-
Have you ever been stung by a bee or wasp?
-
No, I have not, I guess I'm just scared because I dont want to be xD My sister has been though, she said it hurt. But it was sort of her own fault anyway >.>
-
Yea, me too. I realized that most people that get stung were messing with them. And, obviously, I would NOT mess with them. XD I'm too afraid to even be at a distance where I can see them. x.x My dad usually just goes, "Toughen up, kid. It's just a bug."
Suuuurrreeeee....XD
-
xD I just run from them, even if they're not nearby, I run. And, I know right, I would never mess with them. My sister stepped on one and thought it was dead, so she picked it up and it wasnt dead, so she ended up getting stung. She shouldnt have been messing with it >.> My mom just says "Puh-lease, it's just a bee." JUST a bee? Alright then. Well, I'm okay with other bugs, just not ones with big fat stingers...like bees.. ^^'
-
XDD ikr? I kinda feel bad for bees, being squished and squashed and hurt and dieing for protecting themselves (their stinger rips out when they sting something and they bleed to death) and having a short lifespan....
DARN PSYCHOLOGICAL THOUGHTS!
-
I agree, as much as I hate bees, I have to feel a LITTLE bad for them, it's just how I am... I guess when I think about it, I'm okay with Honeybees, the ones I really dont like are KillerBees...or wasps, or hornets (ew, big and red and they have huge eyes...), or yellowjackets. Hmm, I dont think I've ever took the time to think about bees as much as I did today xD
-
XDD That's the point of this thread (partly) to think about bees! No, jk.
Well, unless its chur phobia...
Which it is...
Am I making a fool of myself right now?
-
I dont think you are! Yet, I act like that all the time... Maybe it's not so smart to ask me that kind of questions... o3o

Im Claustrophobic. xD there was a funny story when I was younger. I was in the class room, and we were doing a play, I was sitting down crowded by other children, lots of the parents were looking at me, because I was squealing quietly, and fidgeting. And then I screamed and ran out the room... Random Story.. Another funny story. A couple of days ago, I awoke from a sleep, and I was under my blanket, I thought I had been locked up, so I went absolutely mental! I screamed and kicked the covers, then my mum walked in... And took the blanket off me her face like this -_- Seriously... My second worst phobia..
Batophobia- Where I am afraid of heights, and being near tall buildings... I was going on a roller coaster, a really big one, and when we reached the highest point, I scream like hell, and I cried like there was no tomorrow! Then I was on this castle, and it was amazingly high. I made some weird buzzing noises, and totally ditched my friends screaming... My friends didn't know about my phobia so they were like =-(. Then I actually crawled back to the top of the castle, where my friends were waiting, with the school teacher. And then I rolled on my back... Yep, that got me detention! My worst Phobia..
Lyssophobia- the fear of rabies, or becoming mad. My friend, Charlie one day we were playing out, when I was like 8... And he told me crazy stories about rabies, and becoming mad, ever since then I had been afraid of Rabies and becoming mad... (Only a few more!)
Hemophobia- Fear of blood. Once I split right above my eye open. It didn't hurt, but when I saw the blood, I went mental, I screamed and almost the hole street came out to see what was happening.
Gephyrophobia- Fear of crossing bridges. (Just gonna say what they are now, don't want to bore ya!)
Gelotophobia- Fear of being laughed at.
Nosocomephobia- Fear of hospitals
Nosemaphobia- Fear of becoming ill.
Thats it. Quite alot.. Gives me a rough time, but I love my life! <3
-
I have aerophobia. Basically, you will NEVER get me to go in an airplane unless you trick me. First time I went in an airplane when I was six, I was TRAUMATIZED. Never again. Now, just to make it worse, I watch Mayday ALL THE TIME. There are just so many things that go wrong, I could never stand being thousands of miles up in the air. If something does occur in the air, there is little chance for survival. Never. EVER. Going in one.
-
@ reece: That's awfully rude! To give you detention for a phobia! >:O
@ Slydragon: I sympathize with you. I don't have a phobia, but I HATE planes. I'm going to Michigan in a plane ride that's like 3 hours next Tuesday. Yippee. -_-
-
I have a terrible fear of injections, I don't know if it's a phobia, but I started to suspect somethin was up when it took 3 nurses and a doctor to hold me down and give me an IV drip a few weeks ago in hospital.
Also, I'm now terrified of squeezing my head into tight spaces.
Don't ask, I used to love it as a kid, stickin my head in like a cat would do, one day I did it with a ladder under a pool, and my head got stuck underwater and couldn't get out for about half a minute.
I managed to turn my head around and swam up gasping for dear life. o-o
Don't ever stick your head in places you shouldn't. I was lucky I lived and my parents didn't even know, they thought I had tried to hold my breath, they still don't. XD
Other than that, I love the night, I love stalking around, and I love to *secretly* climb on my roof at night, I like to see what people do at this hour of night and I feel a sense of security when I know whats going on around me.
You'd be lucky to see me get 3 hours of sleep, I'm not a sleeper, and I guess it's insomnia or something? But I don't have any fear or anything, I just like to be in the night and feel the cold air and I just can't get enough of heights, I love jumping from high platforms and climbing, so I don't know really.
-
@Twizzler: I know! I said to them, but they thought it was just for laughs -_-.
@Sly&Twizzler: I had to go on a 9 hour journey to Las Vegas, and I hate planes, but I don't have a phobia of it.
-
@Twizzler: I know! I said to them, but they thought it was just for laughs -_-.
WHATTT!!??!! That is angering >:()
-
Wow. Lugai. Crazy e.e
Yes, but, in my mind in a plane, something that comes with my phobia, being around one, or in one, I start to think of all of the different accidents that could happen.
-
I used to do that, when I was little, until my parents told me to imagine the plane walking. On stilts.
Even though when I got older I knew it wasn't real, it helped until I didn't need to anymore. I still don't like planes though. make me sick. XD
-
I have arachnophobia. I don't know why since I've never been bitten by a spider. (I've been bitten by a bunch of other insects before. xD) When I was younger and during the winter, I once woke up and there was a daddy long leg crawling down the wall towards me. You know what I did? I ran out of the house in my sleepwear screaming and hiding in the snow until my dad came and found me. I slept on the couch for a full week, and kept having these nightmares where spiders would crawl all over me and suck my blood. I flipped out every time.
I'm also claustrophobic sometimes, but not badly. If I'm crammed in a tiny box for fifteen minutes, I would be flipped out and going into a coma by then, but I'm OK with small places like airplanes and stuff.
-
1. Try to imagine that the spiders are just saying "hi." Say hi back, as if it were a normal person, then walk away. :) Helps me with bees a bit.
A bit. XD
2. I doubt you'll ever be put into a tiny box for fifteen minutes...XD
-

Hehe. I'll try that the next time I see one. x3
2. I doubt you'll ever be put into a tiny box for fifteen minutes...XD
So do I, but it's not impossible ... Ack, let's just hope. xD
-
Hope is a...
Culess.
CUrse + bLESS.
XD I have no idea where that came from
-
xD Strangely ... It's true. e3e
