What's your weirdest phobia?...

[Spoonius]

What are you afraid of that you perhaps shouldn't be? A time, a place, a living thing, a concept?

For example... I'm afraid of roots. Yep, ordinary plant roots. Used to terrify me as a kid, and I still feel uneasy around them.

 

[EHKOS]

Garbage trucks. I think it has to do with loud noises though.

 

[MrMuttonChops]

The doll from Child's play used to scare me pretty bad.

 

[Phasmal]

Muppets.
They're just wrong.

 

[mandaforever]

big things in the sky, if the moon was really close to the earth I'd die of fear. I have nightmares that Jupiter is crashing into earth that was super scary to me.

Also big things in the water. Like if I was swimming and saw a whale I don't think I could handle it.

so, I'm afraid of big, foreboding things?

I'm super weird.

 

[JBGigas]

Spiderwebs, not spiders, but spiderwebs.

 

[crudus]

Keindranophobia. It may not be a phobia so much as a paranoia. A recognized phobia I have is Trypanophobia (fear of medical needles), but that is fairly common.

 

[Verlander]

Mmmmm no?


Actually, I can speak foreign languages, but I refuse to in public. If that counts

 

[Harbinger_]

Stupid people and how they'll screw things up in the future when they have children old enough to do things.

The doll from Child's play used to scare me pretty bad.

I know what you mean, the dolls in Alice: Madness Returns creped the hell outta me. I couldn't even finish watching Child's Play

 

[stefanbertramlee]

Hoovers.

Fuck 'em.

 

[shadyh8er]

Getting hit in the eye with anything. Every time I go to a baseball game I make sure to duck down a little bit behind the railing in case of foul balls. And when I'm mowing the lawn, I squint my eyes and move my head to dodge the debris.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I have a fear of people touching my bellybutton.

I'm pretty much fine with any other dolls it's just that one cause I was 5 and I only managed to watch the full thing recently (16).

 

[TheSolemnHypnotic]

Cephalopods. I have no clue why. But seriously, if one eats you, you're in its head. Ewwwww (I gotta puke now) O_O

 

[CrashBang]

Muppets.
They're just wrong.

I used to be scared of muppets as well... as a kid, not any more; love 'em now. And The Wombles and The Clangers (non-Brits probably don't know what they are).

OT: Trypophobia, the fear of clusters of holes. The most terrifying example I can think of is lotus seed pods:

It took most of my willpower to stomach looking at that pic long enough to copy it to here. Be grateful!

How they make me feel: In a word, YEEEEAAAARGHHH! Followed by massive shudders and a body full of goosebumps, then 10 minutes of nervous twitching.

Bees, wasps, hornets, anything that flies, stings, and generally lives in a hive. I watched a video this morning of a woman's house that had been infested with bees for over 10 years. When an exterminator came out and started pulling huge chunks of the hive out, my brain was going, "NOPENOPENOPENOPE!"

Also, cicadas. I don't know why, but I just hate the damn things.

 

[WafflesandBacon]

Mannequins, its not an crippling fear but I'm cautious around them.

 

[genericusername64]

the red button

 

[Indiscrimi]

I'm the only person I've ever heard of who is a maniaphobe, which is weird, because there's already a scientific term for the phobia.

Basically, I'm afraid of going crazy, which makes it really easy for all my friends to f*ck with me on April fool's.

And don't even start on Eternal Darkness!
