Just learned I have social phobia, I knew I wasn't normal but I didn't know it had a name, I hate eating in front of people, especially messy or large foods like burgers or ice creams, I refuse party invites ( by making up excuses) so I don't have to talk to people or make conversation because I feel awkward and embarrassed when I talk even when there's no reason to be. I even sometimes avoid going out with close friends and I worry for days even weeks sometimes because I don't wanna go out. Well you learn something new everyday :)
By the way I've only just discovered your channel, I love it!! Good job 👏🏼👍🏼
You could just be a shy introvert. Once you attach a name to it, we tend to dwell on it. Like a doctor telling someone that they are having a heart attack, it causes a stress reaction in our system. It sounds like you may have a phobia, but you can overcome it; don't let it rule your life. :) I wrote a pretty decent article on phobias lately, it'll be published on Vocal.media.com as soon as they approve it. You may be able to benefit from the info. Take care and best wishes.
Lucy Francis I thought it was just me I can't eat in front of people just the thought of doing it... Oh god so when my friends eat in front of me I get nausea
It’s easy to overcome those symptoms if you talk to a counsellor and it’s very easy to treat.
i feel ya.

Rishabh Agrawal Would fear of vomit be situational phobia?
Thanks
I have a severe phobia & my friend thought it was funny to taunt me with said phobia (as a lot of people have) and I ended up literally crashing a car while trying to get away. The situation was dangerous for everyone involved & extremely embarassing for me, I even could have gone to jail. It’s no laughing matter. This is the reason I don’t tell anybody my specific phobia anymore. Don’t take phobias lightly.
Some people just don't understand. 😞😞😔
Who invented names for these phobias? I'm scared of these long words.
Actually, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia means the fear of long words.
It’s a shame that that fear has a long name because you can’t even tell people your phobia! 🤔
@@irnbru6442 the doctor who did that was a jerk
There is a phobia for long words too. But I can't remember the name
Justin Wang that’s ironic
People say they have a phobia but they dont. Edit: Okay what I meant by this is some people just say they have a phobia when all they have is a small fear spiders. There is a difference between having a fear and a phobia
I have a phobia of phobias.
I do
@@concon6012 omg I have socializing I feel sick I cry I hide it
It sucks. People say that because they dont like spiders that hey have a phobia. It minimizes the suffering that some people go through.
I have plenty of phobias 😭
Emetophobia here (fear of vomit/vomiting). I'm still getting it treated, but there have been huge progresses considering that at the start I was feeling nauseous all the time even if I was perfectly healthy, stopped eating lots of foods, barely got out, developed some obsessive-compulsive behaviours because I thought if I didn't do my rituals I was going to be sick, got an addiction from over using some gums against car nausea, avoided getting out at all, got anxious even if I thought I heard that word somewhere and even didn't want to see my cats because of furballs; while now I can even pretend I'm vomiting to joke about it.
Mad Tile I've got the same phobia! Have had it for a few years now but am just starting to get treatment. I avoid hospitals or clinics because sick people go there and I can't risk it. I also make sure everyone around me has washed their hands recently before touching me or an object I'm going to touch and if someone sneezes They have to be far away from me. It's really disruptive of my life and it triggers my panic disorder to a great extent (which then causes a panic attack which causes more nausea and the whole cycle continues). I avoid going to the fair or being upside down, eating strange foods or eating too much food. Every time I go into a room my brain automatically looks for a trash can just in case I have to suddenly throw up (which is very unlikely because I haven't thrown up in 6 years). People can't mention throwing up around me or make any noises that sound like it either. I can't watch people throw up on the tv. So yeah, it really gets in the way. It makes me feel a bit better to see someone else with the same phobia though! I hope treatment it helping you and I hope it helps me too. :)
i have the exact same fear
Mad Tile I have the same fear, I have had it for 8 years and I don't know how to get over it. Should I go to therapy or what...
same here
Mad Tile same here
I have arachnophobia and I was able to watch this video in full length and not look away! That is a big improvement for me!!
While me I have to cover the screen or else panic attack
@@kpopuniverse1273 same, I had to cover the spiders
Arachnophobia is the most popular phobia (1 in 9 possiblity) which means 11.(1)%
Same
lol the sound effects for the line "by getting attacked by a pack of angry racoons and getting rabies" was hilarious
+Fire Razor We try to have fun with our videos :)
There are a few things you can try
Work out why you are shy - the first step in solving an issue is to understand why it is there.
Be comfortable with yourself - this makes it less difficult when you are with other people.
Challenge youself - you will become more confident by doing things - especially by doing activities that push your limits.
(I read these and more tips from Sebs Shy Remedy website )
That's the Wilhelm scream :') had been used in movies for decades
Zvjjjkkkkkkkkkk I'll 80
i wish when people made videos about phobias they made them friendly to people who have phobias to watch.
i have arachnophobia and i had to physically cover the screen every time spiders came up because so much as a drawn image sets off paranoia.
Batteriacid OH YOU TOO? I thought it was only me, because one time when I went to look up a kind of spider, saying it was the most poisonous, I saw a whole page of spiders in the images side. I got paranoid of that.
Same.
A drawing doesn't trigger it for me it's the movement. Unless the photo triggers me to think about said movement and im picturing it in my head.
Ikr! i remember reading an encyclopedia then there was this realistically drawn big-ass spider. i never picked up that book again.
Same
I am diagnosed with agoraphobia.
It’s such a painful process. For me anyways, I describe it as the fear of having a panic attack in public specifically. Like I didn’t just have this fear of public naturally, it developed after I started having panic attacks. When you don’t know what a panic attack is, and it just happens to you, it’s completely vile. it felt like I was suffocating. I started avoiding public areas and even just leaving my house in general because I was afraid another one of those “moments” (panic attacks, but i didn’t know at the time) would happen, and it would be shameful or difficult to hide.
LOL!
What is so terrifying about an open space?
I feel the same way, I'm 18 and it's freaking hell to have agoraphobia, I can't go out alone bc I sense that something is going to happen and it really scares me, and my mother bullies me for being this way :"(
Was diagnosed with agoraphobia recently and you took the words out of my mouth about how my agoraphobia comes about.. >
I've had agoraphobia since I was 12 and have been a hermit for 18 years now.
I can't stand being with someone or indoors, I prefer being alone in a far open space
March 2020 no one asked but this is my story:
I have three of the mentioned phobias. And they are diagnosed phobias. My spider phobia is the most 'chill' one because I don't get confronted with spiders a lot. But if I do, I freak out, getting a panic attack, crying, thinking about k*lling myself (depends on situation). I think this fear was given to me by my mum.
Then we have the social phobia. I had it since I was probably around 9 years old. Kids were mocking me starting in first grade (age six) and I still gotta deal with the consequences now (age 24). I already did a therapy in which I also overcame my depression. But I am still affected by social anxiety. I am actively staying away from situations I might be judged in and I rethink every word someone said to me, worrying if they liked me or not. It really affects my life negatively a lot. But I am slowly progressing. My worst fear is the one that I can't even spell out without feeling I might faint. It was mentioned as the third category of specific phobias. It was caused by a traumatic event which also led to my ex-depression. I am struggling with it everyday. Sometimes my brain is just like: "Hey, wanna think about horrible pictures? Here you go." And then I have to try not to faint on the spot. I can not behave normaly. I can't listen to specific topics being discussed. I can't watch movies that I don't know (in the fear I might see stuff and faint)... I have to be extra careful not to accidently hurt myself. I wanted to quit my job every day for over 3 months. But surprisingly I got through. I am a fighter. I am currently looking for a new therapist (got an appointment soon) hoping to be better one day. I really wanna make progress and improve myself to make my life easier for myself and also the people around me. :) I hope I can update this on day.
@Nina 1995 (September 2020) Thank you, for posting your story. While reading your story, I recognized some of my own behaviors and never connected the dots until now. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Mild Claustrophobia (I'm fine in an elevator and such, just don't put me in a closed MRI). I know where it came from, and it was due to traumatic issues from childhood. I am glad you are making progress! I have also made progress on my own and by learning some techniques from Doctors on how to deal with Panic Attacks. Like you, I am also a fighter and you have not only inspired me this morning but helped me recognize things about myself I did not before, so Thank you so very much for sharing your story! Wishing you all the best in your journey! L

I have social phobia for most of my life. Today two adults honked their horn at me when I was walking to the store for no reason then they started laughing. I had so many thoughts come into my mind of why that happened. I felt like it was my fault and also felt completely useless. I had an anxiety attack and panic attack while paying for groceries and when I was walking back home. I cried...
They were probably hitting on you and wanted your attention, maybe they realized it scared you instead and laughed over it.
Just a more positive outlook
This happened to me they yelled out am offensive name but I haven't gone outside since like I used to 😢 agoraphobia
It's fascinating how sometimes we are unaware of our mental stressors and imbalances .
How about fear of death. Even the word "dying" can make me hyperventilating, which I am now.
Don't be scared you might go meet other people or loved ones in that world, just enjoy life, that is my best advice :) I purple you Army! 💜💜💜
THATS MY FEAR TOO
fuck, same. I hate this so much
Thanatophobia
I have *DEFINITELY* hemophobia, i cant see blood and when im about to get a needle in my arm i am like *screaming*
Me too 😭.
Agoraphobia here! Thanks for educating people about my disorder.
I have this phobia, i am really scared to talk to people, and ever just quit my house, sometimes the only think i can hope to do is only walking out with my bike i can do this because i live in a Square, and if there is someone i would try to ignore them or just say "hello" then after have a short discussion running with my bike and going far possible or entering again to my house, i'm getting depressed just thinking about what i want to do, more times i did think to the death, but trying to ignore it but is really hard to me to not thinking it, when i was going with my parents to my cousin in his parents house obviously, he was all times with his parents, and that isn't really an isolated house you know normal house but that houses that comes with rooms who there are people who live in and a steps ladders for go up to another rooms, there he was all times alone without his friends, that times was funny because we did got playstation for playing and good games, everything fine but years pass, he grow up an i grow up, after so many years now he did got so much friends and now he got his brother's motor bike and going out near his house a square too but small, and talking with his friends and playing out, his brother and sister did transfer long years ago to United Kingdom, so he was alone, now he just quit so easily and i want to go with him but i am so scared to walk around, that i don't know what to seriously do, i can't go out because my big anxiety, and going out only with my brother or my mom and dad, i am 18 years old and my birthday was so scare to me and you can't know my anxiety, when i am in my house i play with my computer, rarely playstation because i don't get so much to do in, then here we go so many years and issues with my eyes i did got myopia and photophobia so now that's why i am more depressed i can't see far faces, and especially lights they are too much for me both really aggravated over time but i am trapped in and i don't know what to do in addition to playing, i am suffering i need really help but i am scared too, to say all this to my parents and to my brother and sister, more for now i don't go to nowhere ever, cause covid aggravated more my circumstances, i am blocked here..
Sorry for my English i am not from these nations, really sorry, just now i am crying i don't know what will be from my life, i did forget that my cousin is 13-14 years old but the best friend and cousin that i could ever get in my life..
@@ZeroRedz I love you Brother
@@clintonbelieves thanks! :)
I have yet to meet someone with my phobias or even a name for them. But I’m afraid of hydro and electrical systems, and warning labels. Street signs, telephone poles, hydro towers, shower heads, pipes, this list goes on and on. I’m currently in therapy and am working on coping mechanisms for it. It’s caused a lot of struggle in my life and a lot of self hate because I didn’t know why I was so terrified of simply taking a shower. Since I’ve been diagnosed I’ve come to terms that they’re a part of me and I’m continuing to work to get better with them.
I have a fear of going to my towns library. If someone even mentions going there I suddenly become quite, start panicking, and feel like I will cry.
I also have Social Phobia.
I can help
I have haemophobia I start shaking my heart beats really fast I feel light heated my arms are numb
And I start pouring with tears
I’m always afraid to be judged in public I feel like I’m going to hurt someone 😩
i am afraid to see girls
Somehow I love making controversy, I don't like the public anyhow so might as well make a difference
You must have arachnophobia which means fear of spiders
This is going to sound weird but I have an extremely severe phobia of eyes. I’ll hyperventilate, stop breathing and pass out. It’s bad.
This video scared me because I realized that I have arahnophobia(that spider one) because once I saw a spider on my bed and my heart almost jumped out of me, I was crying and shacking and felt like I had spiders all over me. And every time I see a spider I do the same thing
i used to be really bad but my friends and family always put me uncomfortable positions and i just grew through it. but sometimes i’ll still avoid it
Im Glad someone actaully understands what its like, I watched a video of phobias as drawings and the entire comment section was filled with people going "wow I didnt have any phobias but after watching this video, now I have 25 differnt phobias."
As someone who have mysophobia I could relate to each part of this videos and I would say this phobia is ruining my life my relationship , I can't help it , sometimes even when I'm in home I don't feel safe , it often makes me really angry and sad whenever I run into a situation that have something to do with my phobia .
just gonna borrow this for my project thanks
I was diagnosed with social phobia about a year or two ago and things got better for a bit, but then turned for the worse. I tried going to Walmart with my bf a bit ago and had a panic attack walking down the driveway. During this video I started to cry when he got to the social/agoraphobia part. I've been in and out of hospitals and I've been trying to get ssi at least until I can work through this, I can barely go to the bathroom in my own home without feeling uncomfortable let alone work 5 days a week interacting with people.
i have a phobia of passing out or dizziness. it scares me that i will pass out in public.
Thank you so much for this channel all of these videos with mental health help me know what’s going on in my head it helps a lot thank you again 😊😖😊
even when i just think about small narrow places i get so scared that i almost start crying
I have extreme phobia of talking with large group present. at work we stretch and choose 1 person to count to 10 a number of times while stretching, when they chose me I had a panic attack and ended up not being able to breathe because my throat swelled up now I'm afraid to go to work on time so I am always late.
You have some great content here. CBT, including exposure therapy, is truly the gold standard for treatment.
I have a fear of number 7 and its multiples 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 etc
You're doing a great job buddy.....Keep it up....god bless you ☺️
Thanks so so so much... Really great channel, thanks 4 all videos
I have social anxiety and agoraphobia and it sucks balls. Everyone just says I'm lazy and won't listen when I tell them how terrified I am
My research will be based on social phobia, have been struggling with it in my university life, All the best to all who have this condition may one day come in which you will feel normal and health.
I think my agoraphobia and social phobia developed from my childhood when the local kids would try to crush my skull with a storm drain after beating me up, it happened more times then I'd like to talk about. I wasn't even 10 years old at this point. I also a have a fear of storm drains and things in the ground with gaps in from it and I'm fairly sure these all manifested into my Depression and EUPD [Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder]. I'm 27 now and these things have ruined all aspects of my life.
can you work Can you go out with people?
I can only go out with people otherwise my Agoraphobia will become unbearable and make me have a breakdown in public and even with people I'm always on high alert and full of anxiety. So I can to an extent when I have a support group or person with me and working is an entire different can of worms in general.
Read the last chapter of “Blessings by Mary Craig. “What makes the desert beautiful “. Also study Claire Weekes method
Fantastic video in all aspects.
I can’t look at the screen because i am afraid they will show a spider. I have an irrational phobia of spiders. It’s almost as severe as it can get. It’s caused by trauma, i used to not have this phobia. I have come in many situations where a spider will be far from me, and suddenly be directly next to me. Because this happened when i was a small child, I had the thought that they were doing it on purpose and intentionally trying to scare me. I know now that this isn’t the case, but i have gone so long with this phobia, even talking about them makes my heart start to speed up. I can’t look at them. I can’t think about them. I am terrified.
I feel like I have trypophobia, thalassophobia and maybe slight claustrophobia. Seeing clusters of holes makes me feel hot, disgusted and uncomfortable. Deep water and not knowing what’s underneath me makes me feel like I will faint and makes me feel like I could cry too, and enclosed spaces make me feel panicky. It’s the feeling of being trapped and unable to move that scares me, I’ve had loads of dreams where I’m like stuck in places it’s horrible.
Phobia is big problem in our life .
I don't swim in front of others because I'm afraid of judgment. I just can't. I learned how to swim when I was little but It's been soooooo long since I swimmed because there's always someone else in the pool. I think that's one of my symptoms of social anxiety (social phobia).
i have carpophobia, the fear of wrists. it’s really strange but it’s honestly so hard to live with
I have a phobia of clown and large groups in always scars me.
My heart beat fast and I start to cry.
Mainly because a clown chased me with a chainsaw. When I was three on halloween.
Thank u.. ur videos are real very helpful
I wish people would understand just how debilitating Social Phobia is. Its way beyond being shy.
ye
im actually showing this channel to my teacher XDD great job btw!! keep it up!!
Well i was diagnosed with acrophobia, but i can't avoid going to the high school class which is on the 4th floor. I can pretty much handle myself by avoiding the passage which has uk open spaces and gives the view of the ground, but its okay till like 3rd floor. At 4th floor i have pretty much passed out a few times and ended up at the nurse's office. So, i just don't look down or distract myself while we are in the hallways and then people tease me saying that i fake being acrophobic, only i know what i go through
I have hemophobia. Whenever I see blood. I begun to cry like non-stop, my knees are shaking and even when I imagine blood my hands begin to sweat and trembling. So scary 😭
I'm afraid of those really tall inflatable slides because when I was 6 I broke my elbow on it.
Mine is unusual, I hate walking as Im very slow and recovering from overtraining. I get so worn out I get upset. Woman bullied me so I couldn't eat lunch and I could not leave my house for the evening. I've quit classes and everything. The second trigger was no one gave me space and I couldn't handle it. I was weak and frail when overtraining (lost too much weight from teeth being taken out) and had to gain that back but its a long road, people didn't understand. Took a year to get back my muscle but at least I have but I'm amazed at how walking has such a bad effect walked four hours.
It really annoys me, when another psychologist tells me to walk to the nearest Lamp post, as if that is going to cure me. I try telling them, it isn't the outside that i fear, but the inside of my head. This confuses them, as they can't deal with the root of the problem, only the symptoms of the behaviour. you can't put a plaster on an open wound, it needs to be treated firs
Very informative 👍🏼
There's some kind of disorder i have, that i wish I knew the name or it was even listed.
Everytime I'm standing still, sitting or laying down, i keep having the feeling that something is on my back, pulling me down or backwards, and i always have the urge to look back or esle swipe my hands on my back, to feel like I'm "sweeping it away"
The same thing happens if i go to bed or lay down, i have the urge to swipe my hand on the surface because i keep thinking there's something on it.
thanks you much , very good
thanks man I have cheimaphobia and I always think of the worst thing that can happen but I learned to just calm down
Thanks for sharing your story.
My phobia is alot of things.
Insectophobia, thalassophobia, traumatophobia, and acrophobia.
so i have trypanophobia (needle phobia) and just seeing the word as a category already freaked me out incase they started talking about my phobia.. surprisingly im not terrified of blood tho!
What it is called afraid of love? Not afraid of rejection, i mean afraid of being hurt again for bad experiences
bugs and any tiny creepy crawlies in general (ants especially) give me such intense anxiety,, like even if it’s a butterfly I don’t want to touch it or it to land on me (unless like,, in a butterfly pavilion where they check and make sure they don’t come with you; and even then, I don’t want them on my skin)
ever since i can remember ive had diagnosed extreme and crippling entomophobia (insects) and arachnophobia (spiders) and have gone to exposure therapy since 7 yo, this video is so cool :)
Thanks! 💫 🥰 💖
Thank you very much for this video. It was very helpful. 🌷🌸♥️
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Why is it every time someone talks about phobias and tells about certain ones they SHOW THE PHOBIA ITEM???
Like 'hey there welcome, so you want to know about why you have a phobia well lemme show you a picture of your phobia item ... You're welcome!!"
((Side note I have one of a specific bug -- not spiders -- that i can't type the name, ok I physically *could* but they creep me out so much that even the name creeps me out. How do you think I'd handle a picture (yes even a drawing)?))
What is it called if youre scared of looking at people in the hospital i mean like they have tubes on them or the medicine hole on their body ? Cuhs i cant stop screaming, crying and shaking whenever i see people like that..
I have a phobia of knives especially if someone is holding even if he was just cutting fruit
When i said i have phobias for worms they would said "nah im scared of worms too. They r disgusting" no u might be disgusted by worms but if there r worms u still can pass them or still doing ur jobs. While me, if i see just a tiny bit of their body i will run and my eyes got teary, i will have an anxiety attack, my heart races fast and so is my breathing. Not everyone notice bc i control it.. but if u see it clearly yes u will hear my heavy breathing and my glass eyes bc i just wanna cry there and having bad thoughts abt the worms.. yes worms do trigger my anxiety and so does spoil my mood. I need to do gardening yesterday at my school and people just keep yell at me for not doing my work.. its not i dont want to but worms are just too scary.. im not disgusted by it, i know wut disgusted mean. Im disgusted by cokcroach but i still can calmly walk pass it
Yoh I have a phobia of snails and slugs. Whenever I see them I start to panic and I start crying and my breathing goes completely out of control. The sight of them horrify me so much.
Been looking up a bit of Agoraphobia, for all I care it's to do with people, not places!
What the hell, I love the outdoors
These are my fears:
Acrophobia
Nyctophobia
Social Phobia
Phasmophobia.
Candice MSP
My phobias from the past to now:
Entomophobia (since kinder)
Astraphobia (long time ago but not afraid of anymore)
Glossophobia (now)
Tryphanophobia (now)
Globophobia (now)just the popping)
Phasmophobia (now)
Tokophobia (now)
Coulrophobia (now)
Coasterphobia (now)
I have Entomophobia ( phobia of all insects/bugs) and it effects my life on the daily, my family always thinks I'm overreacting when I start breaking down simply because a cricket just ran across the floor
I have doxophobia, which is the fear of compliments
Whenever I get a compliment, I get a REALLY bad headache
Ur nice
ur epic man
Ur great
i have entomophobia which means im afraid of any bug such as, spiders, butterflies, bees etc.
but at school i have this friend which loves bugs and when she sees one she just grabs it and chases me with it, like its really annoying but for me it is TERRIFYING
I have phobia where you sometimes get panic attacks and can’t take public speaking like noises . And I feel dizzy I honestly don’t know but let me know if you have it too >33🤍
I liked being overlooked, I love heights, spiders don't bother me, I don't have any phobias
i have a fear of death the thought of it makes my heart beat out my chest, sometimes i cant even be in a room when someone is talking about death but sometimes the though of death comes to my mind and when that happens i just dont know what to do i just dont know what will happen after i die i want to believe that we all die peacefully but the thought of being forgotten just makes me really nervous typing this all out is kinda hard for me but this is just something i needed to say
Me too
*Lilacsophobia here* Seeing the word tornado makes my heart race, and just I feel a little nauseous. And my mouth goes dry and it's terrible.
I found out because I was playing a game with natural disasters and my avatar was near a tornado and I had a panic attack, couldn't breathe, saw spots, crying. It was terrible. Went to a doctor and they said basically "yep that's a phobia" but I'm still not getting treatment because they want to work through other issues I have first to see if that helps
It doesn't lmao.
But I'm so glad there's more awareness on the difference between a phobia and a fear now. Because a lot of people would talk about normal fears when they found out about the lilacsophobia.
Also I'm not sure how mine would be treated. I'd kill before someone could get me near a tornado lol.
Can you make a video about fear of loud noise phonophonia (i think ) beacuse i want to learn more , thank you and i like you video , very eduacational
Very useful thx ❤
You're welcome! 😊
I'm scared of crabs. I think its the sound they make and the way they walk.
When I get anxious I twitch. I was twitching this entire video because that goddamn spider kept jumping outta no where!!!
i laughed out loud at phobophobia, triskaidekaphobia, and pinaciphobia
5:00 that scream tho lol
Reminds me of BF3 trololrolrol videos
I developed a fear of going to public places since the incidences of mass shootings rose. I don't necessarily avoid public places but I find myself looking for an exit for escape the minute I walk into a public space like malls, restaurants, church, and stores. I used to spend hours on end at Target, but now I just walk straight to the aisle, pick up whatever I need and out the door I go. I'm also constantly looking over my shoulder but not in a way that says I'm scared. Would this still be considered irrational?
I almost had a panic attack after seeing the clown lmao
idk why but i had to cry during the video ...
So I have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and because of it I developed Emetophobia whenever I feel any kind of stomach pain/indigestion I because very anxious and I take any and all actions I know of to keep myself from throwing up. I never know if I'm going to have another 2 week long episode of vomiting. So I will not allow myself to vomit.
Hemophobia:
But not for blood but realistic images and descriptions of internal organs
So many spiders in the video ahhh it get me nervous even if it’s a picture
This guy:
Making a list of fears.
People with pinaciphobia:
"WE'RE G0NNA DIE!"
Tbh i have a very big fear of vulnerability,dark and expressing my more private emotions like sadness one time i wanted to not cry so bad cuz my dad will hear me so i tried to keep it in like not breathing cuz i might break and so i didnt breathe and then i had a seizure..i think i had this cuz when i was young i got punished for crying..the more i got hurt the more i cried the more he hit me..
I am terrified of spiders but for some reason I didn't think that spiders lives in the country side on camp grounds. When I woke up and saw the spiders I couldn't even leave the tent as they were blocking the exits. after like 45mins I eventually ran outside in which I refused use that tent and I had to sleep with someone else. I only sleep in cars now on camping trips
I have such bad phobias of airplanes, I can’t even be in the same room as someone talking about them.
With me, it's the exact opposite. I don't mind flying but I get anxiety attacks being in an airport or thinking about them.
@@maverickhistorian6488 funny you replied to this today… I am going on a plane today and am panicking so bad lol
I have emetophobia. I avoid going to public toilets, avoid going to theme parks and if I am going to a theme parks, I make sure to ride all the rides I can before 12.00 in the afternoon.
I avoid public restrooms and would only go for emergencies or to wash my hands. But I use my elbow or a paper towel in the room to avoid contact with germs. I would have panic attacks if someone were sick. I would either evacuate or go into a sterile room and self quarantine. I would wear mask, gloves and spray a lot of disinfectant. I could barely touch anything because I feel like everything is contaminated. I would only come out the room to shower. I try to spend too long out the room or else I’ll think of me being contaminated and I would go mad. Even if no one is sick, I’m already quarantined in my room most of the time. I don’t let anyone in my room because they would contaminate it and ruin its orderly fashion. And I hate when things aren’t precise or in an orderly fashion because neat freak. I also do my laundry separate from everyone and use a disinfectant to wash my clothes as well as detergent and softener. I would use more wipes and sprays to clean everything. I always carried a small kit filled with hygiene things. I clean up after my classmates. I would be the last one to leave class because I would make sure it’s clean and in orderly fashion. I can barely touch anything including the floor. I would freak out and be reluctant if I had to. I would immediately wash my hands or use hand sanitiser. I shower multiple times a day and I wipe my phone with alcohol regularly. I could go on but you can already tell what I fear.
I have submechanophobia, I really can see no logic behind it, but everytime I see a picture of a shipwreck I feel like I'm getting a heart attack...
when my parents fight my hear increases than usual nd iam scared to hell if somethings happens b/w them.ven when my sister nd father were fighting i was scared as hell i couldnt stop crying.

I have thalassophobia. I can't look at pictures, I dislike the color blue especially if it was ombre, and whenever we talk about the ocean I have scary images in my head that won't go away so I panic to the point I imagine and believe that I'm surrounded by water. Even closing my eyes did not work at all and it made it worse. At some point my irrational fear lessened for a few years, but now it's back.
