A phobia is an intense fear of something that poses no actual danger...While awareness that the fears are irrational, phobics often find that facing,..or even thinking about facing the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety..do you think you have any weird phobia like fear of Light, computer, Food, gravity...etc....when I was in School I have fear of meeting new people, making friends and being around new people..but now all have gone...What do you think? please reply

I have a phobia with any form of sea food and or creatures as I call them. When I was 19 I was injected with cat scan dye, which contains fish oil and it was a very unpleasant life threatening situation. Ever since then the site of a small gold fish creeps me out and causes me to hyperventilate. I suppose it is in my head but the experience was so life threatening that I have grown into one scared CAT!

I have a lot of fears. I have fears of bumping into the people I don't like. Fears of meeting new people, as you mentioned, fears of fainting, fears of heights and falling, fears of spiders, fears of the end of the world, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Oh, yeah, another weird one I had when I was a small child was fear of running water! I was scared of the water coming out of the faucet.

Yes. I hate sitting in groups. At places such as meetings and church, I get there early so I can get a seat near a door. It doesn't matter if I'm in the front or the back, as long as I can run out quickly. I also hate a certain three digit number, and will go out of my way to avoid it.

A little social phobia, and a fear of heights and drops. Not of those are all that weird though, they're pretty common.

I think, my phobia is that, I am afraid that no one would believe me. That no one would about me.

i have a phobia of talking on the phone to people.. i dont mind getting phone calls and talking to people that called me but i HATE calling other people.. i have had a few times where i have gotten the wrong person and they waited awhile before they admitted it thinking it was funny and it wasnt! or i hate the silence pauses that can happen between people talking or feeling as if you are interrupting some one but if people call me i know who they are and that they have time and want to talk to me so i dont worry

Hi! I have a fear of butterflies. When I was small, an older cousin panicked when a huge butterfly approached me, he covered my eyes and said that if it comes near my eyes I will go blind. From then on, I panic whenever I see butterflies. I really don't like them.

Traditional Bus in Bohol - This is the traditional bus basically in the Philippines but only a few key areas are using it right now, one of which is Bohol.
Even if I am already in college now, my fear may sound funny and quite childish but I am really intensely afraid of cockroaches. I usually cry whenever I am alone in a room then a cockroach suddenly crawls or flies. That's how scared I am that it really makes me cry. Until now, I am having a hard time to overcome that fear of mine. Unfortunately, cockroaches still exist in today's generation.

My weird phobia is metal toilets. They're awful! I don't know why I dislike them so much but if I go into a toilet and it's metal, I have to fight the urge to walk out again.

Hello Crazy_Poster. My biggest fears are darknes, and the posibility of an evil thing geting out of a person near me :O. I only have them in my home, i sleep with the light on in all the house if i'm alone- this a fear that hounts me every day. The other one appears sometimes at weird moment and i tend to pretend that i did not noticed. I know is WEIRD

I have no weird phobias, that I can think of now, but I donĀ“t like to travel by air, even though I have done it many times. I also check the stove many times, that it is not on when I go out or before going to sleep. Also check the doors carefully that they are locked before going to sleep - but I think this pretty normal..??
