Weirdest Phobias

Don't laugh now - but my phobia is . . . cotton wool!

I never got to swimming in the deep for fear of drowning

I cannot think of anything that I fear strongly enough to qualify as a phobia. The idea of becoming sane and normal would really scare me, but as that is so unlikely I do not worry about it. I have always liked the really odd phobias such as triskaidekaphobia for the number 13 and phobophobia as the fear of fear.

I have a fear of heights especially when I am leaning down from a mountain top or looking down from a tall building or a bridge ..

So far , i fear snakes and those wiggly worms ! And just like you , i know some kids specially the son of my boss who fears the clown . He didn't go out of the room on his party with clowns on his 2nd or 3rd birthday . I don't know if he still do now .

Not sure if I have any as of now.Maybe later

I don't think I am afraid of clowns, but I don't really like them. I don't find them funny. And these days, no one likes anyone who is hiding his face.

I fer earthquakes very much, but it is a wholly reasonable dear as I live in the country that has the biggest quakes in the world. Still, I think that tsunamis are worse, but I don´t live near the sea. Besides that, I hate roaches.

I have a paraskevidekatriaphobia. It is a fear of Friday the 13th. Looks stupid, but it has never been a good day for me.

I have a terrible fear of snakes.

I hate spiders, but I don't think it's a phobia. There are some odd things in your list, and how can you fear clowns? They're supposed to make you laugh

I don't have any unusual phobias. Mine is a fear of heights which is pretty common. I do have a fear of snakes and spider but not to the point where it affects my life.

I have a friend who is afraid of worms. He would like to grow his own vegetables but cannot dig the garden in case he finds a worm, he had to take up hydroponics instead.

I never liked clowns either but I wouldn't call it a phobia, I just find them sad.

I am just like you...circus freaks me out to no end. I am particularly phobic of small people..midgets.

well I have three of those - my hubby has three as well - the only two we dont have is Haphephobia and Chromatophobia - very interesting - I dont like clowns at all - eeeeeek

I think many people are afraid of clowns

I never heard of many of those, but I do know of people that are afraid to leave their homes and therefore, for some, they've not been outside for years and years. I don't think I have any 'fears' currently. There is much I don't particularly like, and I'll stay away from those. For instance, I think I might be the only person on the planet that doesn't much like parades. I have gone when my kids were involved, and I walked in one a few years ago with our work group, but otherwise, I'd rather be writing online or playing games than out in odd weather looking at all the floats. I enjoy heights, but I don't like being on shaky ladders. I try to stay off most ladders these days as I know of many elderly that lose their sense of balance. Unfortunately, sometimes I still need to get on six foot ladders, but I make sure someone is around just in case. If anything, I have a fear of winter, but not really. But, I'm hoping that one day, we'll be able to afford going to a warmer climate when winter arrives. During that season, I'd be happy to stay inside till spring arrives, but I also enjoy spending time with family and would miss the holiday get-togethers.

You nailed mine. I find clowns pretty scary. Scorpions are close behind.

I don't have any phobias but I used to help an austistic teenager who did not like me to wear pink!
