I went to a phobia list site and found the ones that apply to me.
Acarophobia- Fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching. (I HATE mosquitos to the point that I'm afraid of them. They're attracted to me AND I'm allergic to them.) Agoraphobia- Fear of open (indoor) spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place. (mostly just fear of really really high ceilings in huge rooms) Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders. Astraphobia- Fear of thunder and lightning. Atomosophobia- Fear of atomic explosions. (Haha, who wouldn't be afraid?) Batophobia- Fear of being close to tall buildings. Dishabiliophobia- Fear of undressing in front of someone. Emetophobia- Fear of vomiting. Helminthophobia- Fear of being infested with worms. Ligyrophobia- Fear of loud noises. (Thunder and fireworks make words catch in my throat when I'm talking.) Nosophobia- Fear of becoming ill. Topophobia- Fear of certain places or situations, such as stage fright.
That's about it. Please please please comment. No one ever comments on my journal entries T^T. Oh if you want the site that I found all those phobias on, go here: http://www.phobialist.com/index.html Tell me some of your fears.
Also, look at these funny ones: Phobophobia- Fear of phobias Panophobia- Fear of everything. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words. (Yes, ironic isn't it?)
