Amaxophobia, Astraphobia or Astrapophobia, Catapedaphobia, Cleptophobia, Deipnophobia, Dystychiphobia, Gymnophobia, Iatrophobia, Ochophobia, Odontophobia, and I am being totally serious about everything here!

I got Agyrophobia - fear of crossing streets. Everytime I cross a street I feel like I'm going to get hit by a car or bus, or that someone's going to yell at me for crossing it in a inappropriate time/way. I've also got a fear of being tortured, but I don't know what that phobia's called.

Well I hate spiders and heights but both are based on very bad experiences as a child. But neither are exactly phobias I can overcome them if I have too.

Atychiphobia- Fear of failure.
Bacteriophobia- Fear of bacteria.
Brontophobia- Fear of thunder and lightning.
Emetophobia- Fear of vomiting.
Insectophobia - Fear of insects.
Obesophobia- Fear of gaining weight.

Lol, I'm so scared of failing any classes at school, or even any tests.

After taking hospitality class, I have a better understanding of what bacteria is capable of. D:

Thunder and lightning are just scary to me because for some reason, I'm always left alone when it's storming. I've had to walk through scary storms by myself after school lots of times, but it's never gotten better. =(

The rest are kind of self explanatory, lol.

Aichmophobia: fear of needles

Mostly shots. I really hate shots. *shudder*

Claustrophobia: fear of enclosed spaces/crowds

I have panic attacks whenever i get into enclsed spaces, crowds or anything tight (like a wet suit...it was really tight...that's not so much a fear.)

I blame my elementary school. Haha, whenever we'd do something "disrespectful" at recess, we have to stand by "the wall" for 10 minutes.. not sure if they new or not, but there were bee's nests all over that wall, and I'd get stung most every day. Haha.

First, my post wasn't directed at any one individual. I was making a general reminder, as it's actually very common for some to say they have a phobia, when it fact they just have a fear of something. It's one of my peeves, people making a mountain out of a molehill.

"You" are a person on the internet. Are you going to tell me you believe even half of what you read on internet forums? I take many things I read with a grain of salt, especially when dealing with children, teenagers, and very young adults (think 18-20). That's because many of them think of things in different terms and on a much more personal level. Things are much more extreme in many cases to them. I'm not going to change my terms so that I appear to be back-peddling on the issue and my statement, because I obviously have offended you. However, I COULD have worded my first post in such a way that you wouldn't have taken offense and probably would have agreed. I didn't feel like sugar coating it at that moment or being diplomatic, as I USUALLY do.

I AM a nice person, Thank You for the compliment. Also, you didn't list 8, 9, 10 or more phobias, so it most certainly wasn't directed at you. Really, if someone lists 10, 12, or more actual phobias, admit it, they are either misunderstanding the real meaning of phobia, are BS'ing, or have some issues (another way of saying pretty messed up, but it sounds a little nicer). Put more diplomatically, they have some issues and problems that we can't begin to understand and should be afforded our sympathy and our help if we can give it.

Sorry that you hate people. I'm probably much older than you, and tolerate many people's ignorance less than when I was young, but I don't really hate people. I try to see it from their point of view and understand them, then go about my way.
Oh, ok. I've never really learned those thingies. I'm a little better with smilies though. And there is most certainly no need to apologize. In my relaxed manner that evening, I didn't clarify and was trying to keep it short for a change-a rare thing for me :).

Oh man, that must have really sucked. I don't know if I could have stood that for long.

Ick, I'm done too I can't stand people who can't just be like "Oops, sorry my bad" but instead they go on and on and make it worse when they're the ones who provoked it in the first place. :roll:
But, whatever I'll leave you alone from here on out.

It's not a phobia but I'm afraid of lakes/ the ocean. xD
Like, when you can't see shit at the bottom. It always makes me feel like something is going to touch/grab/bite my feet or something. :lol:

..and walking home alone at night. I always feel like someone is going to jump out of the bushes and get me. xD
Or I'm going to get kidnapped or something.

Ants!!! *runs away screaming*

I am totally terrified of ants, though you have to give me credit I have gotten a little better about them.

Noscomephobia. Moderate-severe case. Which is problematic, considering that I have several medical problems that require me to be in a hospital on a fairly regular basis. Luckily said problems are not worse - any worse and I'd likely have to be sedated every time.
...which is sad, as I'm usually quite good at controlling my emotions when I want to. Unfortunately, hospitals and the equipment in them throw that right out the window.

It's not just hospitals either - ambulances, anything with that kind of equipment. Especially EKG machines and the like. Granted, every time I'm hooked to one of those someone seems to fuck something up and nearly kill me...recently an asswipe "doctor" in the local emergency room decided it was a good idea to discharge me when my heart rate was irregular, in the low 40 beats per minute while I was visibly scared by my surroundings. That's supposedly "normal" for a 20-year-old...:|

People like her are why I can't get over this phobia. :gonk: I wonder how many patients SHE'S killed? *shudder*

Even outside of the creepy white building though, I'm...really bad. Just the other day this decided to rear its ugly head at work - I work as a library aide, and I was putting a few books away...came to one with a cover design that looked like a healthy EKG strip. My heart started racing and I went to put it away as quickly as possible because...I didn't want to look at it.
As soon as I'd put it away, the library assistant pressed some wrong button on the cash register and generated an error. This makes a long, drawn-out beep that lasts until you clear it...unfortunately it takes us all a few seconds to clear it.
I locked up completely from the sound, having a mental Blue Screen of Death, and ended up dropping another book on my foot. A very heavy one. Was not fun. :gonk: Was a bit funny in retrospect...but it still hurts. XD;;;

Another thing I'm very afraid of, though I'm not sure if you could call it irrational, is permanently losing my voice. This is because...as much as I dislike my speaking voice, I love to sing, and I want to make a career for myself in music...the most enjoyable part of it to me is singing; it's also my greatest strength. Even if I lost my voice, I'd still have other instruments to fall back on...but...it wouldn't be the same; it wouldn't be as enjoyable to me. Not to mention the communication difficulties...and when I've been encouraged by some of my favorite musicians personally to go for this, it really means a lot to me. So...yes, the thought of losing my voice terrifies me. Badly.

Granted, it's a bit silly of me to go into a panic every time my throat starts acting strange and I start talking weird; to think "Oh crap, is this permanent!?" every single time...but at least it's gonna keep me away from smoking.

I'm also borderline-irrationally afraid of missing my chance to speak to a particular person...we have a...particularly complicated history, and now he's in a very...interesting position, and there's a good deal of long-distance separation, so...it's a rather delicate situation, I have to say.

Actually our complicated history is...why I'm afraid of hospitals in the first place. XD;

But enough about that. I'm gonna stop with that before I embarrass myself. XD;

Achluophobia- Fear of darkness.

It's not that I think any monsters are going to come out and get me, because I know their not. It just makes me feel lonely and vulnerable, so of which, I always have my blinds up letting the light of the street light in, and my dog sleeping in my room. >_< I know, I'm a baby.

Acrophobia- Fear of heights.

Very bad experience, when I was little our microwave was up on a high shelf so I had to stand on a chair to reach it. Well, I was a Ramen Noodle kid, and I fixed ramen noodles, so one day I was fixing some, and just as I was taking it out of the microwave, I lost my footing and spilled the scalding water all over me, along with hurting my back on the cement kitchen floor. Nope, we didn't have linoleum or vinyl, nor carpet, we had cement.

Aichmophobia- Fear of needles or pointed objects.

I HATE needles. When I was three I left six nurses with bruises from trying to fight them off.

Aeroacrophobia - I'm not afraid of MERELY heights. I'm afraid of being at high elevations, peering through a window and being centimeters (well, realistically, inches) from being in the open, unsupported air and then falling to my demise. I feel comforted when I'm at high heights and there's a smaller building/wing nearby that's closer than the ground, etc. ... I dunno, my fear of heights is more complicated than just Acrophobia, and this Aeroacrophobia thinger seems more precise.

I didn't know I had so many fears. Some aren't as bad as others, I used to not like being touched when I was little. I didn't fear it. I'm still afraid of the dark, more like what is in the dark. I feel like a child. :( I hate anything that can bite me, or sting me. Being ridiculed and laughed at, I sometimes would imagine it in school. Cause I couldn't stand it, I mostly ignored it most of the time.

Ever since I watched IT by Stephen King, I always hated clowns. I always had a fear of demons, and of hell. Watching too many documentaries about them can do that I guess.

I only have a phobia of driving to places I don't know very well or crowded areas. I get so scared that I only drive close by my house, or I take the easy ways to get there. It's weird because I've had this problem my entire life. When I was 2 my parents put me in a toy car at Six Flags, and I freaked out and started crying. Then when I got older people would say, "Wow, you're almost old enough to drive," and I dreaded it. I wish I knew why I felt this way, but I don't. I had bad anxiety when I was young, but most things I've grown out of.

P.S. Oirish, I think you are in the right. I wish some people weren't so insulting and uncaring...

i'm not gonna say any of this is a phobia, because i don't know for sure if they are serious enough.
BUGS. ALL bugs. fruitflies, espcially. i discovered two years back that i am abolutely terrified of fruitflies, as idiotic as it is. my house has a bathroom that is fuckin' infested with the little terrors. we moved here two years ago. i found out then. i hate it in there, fruitflies constantly go flying around. sometimes i take like 30 minutes standing there, trying to force myself to get into the shower when a fruitfly is right there. they are disgusting creatures. but bees, spiders, flies, ants. they all freak me out. i just have issues with fruitflies. don't ask me why, i don't know. i find it a bit pathetic, really.
MURDERERS. *shudders* horror stories have had to much of an affect on me.
DISEASE. those freak diseases anyone can get. like if i watch those shows about a person who nearly died from a disease they got from a flea bite. ugh! that show so did not help my fear of harmless insects. or cancer. ugh
DEATH. omg, so so so scary! what happens?!

this is no phobia, just something i hate about myself. i fear showing any weakness. i can't bring myself to say anything if i'm upset. if i'm afraid of something, i don't say anything. i don't usually get upset, i have a good life, but if i ever did get upset, i would keep it to myself. i know it. i actually feel bad about the fact that i can't act vulnerable in front of anyone. it's like i feel i can't trust them, but i do trust them. i just can't show weakness. i'd regret it to the extreme, i know. i don't like that about myself.
