Female, 14

pistanthrophobia, fear of faith in people. I've never been able to let someone in or trust them. I always feel as though they're going to go behind my back and tell people my worries or secrets. I feel as though they never even care and that if I do let them in they'll just tear me apart.

Female, 15.

Pnigerophobia- Fear of being choked or smothered.
First of all, I'm terrified of people touching my neck. It makes me jump. So if anyone ever tried to choke me, I'd be dead before they could even try. And not being able to breathe would terrify me. Imagine it. Just being strangled to death, watching the life go out of your very body. Ughhh.

Arachnophobia - Fear of spiders
Spiders. Urk, even the name freaks me out. I mean, it's not terrible though. I can look at a spider and not be terrified, but if I'm less than five feet away from it, I will scream and run away. Ever since I had a dream about spiders taking over my house and being EVERYWHERE, I haven't been the same.

Claustrophobia - Fear of enclosed spaces or too many people or things in the same room.
When there's a group of people around me, huddled so close that all of us are touching and I can feel them breathing on me, I freak out. But of course, my friends don't listen when I tell them I'm claustrophobic and they get even closer to me. This is probably one of my biggest fears. I have absolutely no idea why, it just freaks me out thinking about being that close to people. Has anyone ever heard of personal bubbles?

Lygophobia - Fear of the dark.
I can survive in the dark. Honestly, I can. But I hate being alone in the dark. I feel like something is going to reach out and grab me and pull me away. I feel like something is always watching me. It's not a very good feeling at all.

Apeirophobia- Fear of infinity.
Now, this is an odd one. When I was younger, like five, my mother told me that when I died I would go to Heaven and be there forever. I mean, I love God. But thinking about being somewhere forever honestly freaks me out. I mean, when I think about it, my body turns numb and my mind goes so far into reality it's hard to forget about it.

Clesiophobia- Fear of being locked in an enclosed space.
This just gives me the creeps. I'm claustrophobic, so being locked somewhere would just make me go berserk. Being all alone with just walls to hold me... Yeah, it's gruesome what things like that would do to me mentally.

Philophobia - Fear of falling in love.
Of course I want to meet someone that I can spend the rest of my life with. But falling in love? That's a big commitment. And what if I got my heart broken because I was too oblivious and fell in love?

Staurophobia - Fear of crosses or the crucifix.
Having nails slammed into my bare hands and feet and being hung to a cross until I die does not sound very pleasant. Actually, it sounds terrible. You'd be slicing through flesh, blood, bones, everything. And waiting until you die because you've lost that much blood, that's just wrong.

Taphephobia- Fear of being buried alive or fear of cemeteries.
This is honestly the thing that I am most scared of. I told my family once that when I die, to make sure I'm actually dead before I'm buried. Waking up and being in an enclosed dark space where I can't get out. It scares me even just thinking about it. No one would be around to save me. I would just be left to die.

Okay, I'm done. These are pretty much all of my major fears.
I'm a total wimp. :3

Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns.

I've been terrified by clowns my whole life. Even as a baby. I have to take deep breaths to calm myself down.

Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. TT___TT

Water and spiders.

Clowns and sharks.

Something I notice a lot though when speaking to people about phobias is as long as a person is sort of creeped out by something they call it a phobia. That's not what a phobia really is.

I'm terrified of bridges. Whenever I cross one in the car I get so nervous and start to pull at my hair and skin and bite my lip until I taste blood. I just can't stand bridges... It completely ruins my day and makes me so scared I can't travel and if I do cross over one I'm always holding onto my seatbelt like it's a vital organ...
I think it might be because when I was a child there was a terrible car crash with a couple of drunk teens who drove off a bridge and drowned.

I have a few more, like of heights and large crowds.

I have an intense fear of the song "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."

I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but whenever I hear that song, my stomach tenses up and it feels like I'm just going to explode. It gives me the most revolting feeling I've ever experienced. It usually ends in me crying and blocking my ears to make sure I can't hear it anymore. ^^"

I feel like a real weirdo now...

Female, 17- 18 in 10 days!!
Alright so mine is sort of combined.
I have a HUGE fear of being in small space, at a great height, with tons of water.
So this mean like water rides that are shaped like tubes and they start freakishly high and water rushing.
This is mainly because I already have a fear of heights, I'm not neccessarily scared of being at a great height, as I am of going down it.
Small spaced don't really affect me much, but when water is involved then I feel suffocated.
And I have a fear of drowning, mainly because I almost drowned. And the simple fact that I can just barely hold my breath for thirty seconds.
So all these three combined, make for a very very unhappy me, and an added anxiety attack.

Female, 19.

Small spaces, elevators, spiders, needles, clowns, heights, the dark.

Female, 15.
Vermiphobia; a fear of earth worms.

I am very aware that they are good for the soil and all that wonderful stuff, but they are just so weird looking. I freeze up at the sight of one and if anyone even tries to get close to me when there holding one I will run away screaming in the other direction.

Needles and mirrors.

Heights suck for me. I can't even stand on a footstool without going into cardiac arrest.

Scelerophibia - Fear of burglars, bad men.
i am absolutely terrified :(
sounds ridiculous but i'm seriously plagued by this phobia.

Female, 19.

Claustrophobia - Fear of Enclosed/Small Spaces;

Not sure why I have this one, and it mainly only applies to elevators and stuff. I also hate doors being left ajar and black screens (strange but if its dark and theres a black TV or PC screen I have to avoid eye contact, or leave.. although this might be because I got freaked out by one of the those 'scare' websites when I was younger and it imprinted into my mind.. As in, press face against screen or near and you get that death image and screaming RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. I cried..) but I dont know what the doors ajar is about.

Acrophobia - Fear of Heights;

Yet again, not sure why. Makes me feel highly dizzy and nauseous and like im going to fall over even if im looking out of a window in a building. ._.

Aichmophobia - Fear of Needles;

Yet again, makes me feel sick and faint. Had a lot of needles through my life but its only the last few years that this one has really got to me. I tend to have to hold someones hand. :3

Arachnophobia - Fear of Spiders;

Amusing story this.. (No.. xD) The shortened version is basically that when I was little I used to always hand round my older brother - he was about 13 when I was born so add a few years (I dont remember how old I was) for my age. Anyway, he used to keep tarantulas as pets as I used to be absolutely fascinated with anything my brother did. Cue in me wandering in and being fascinated as he fed a cricket, and then.. he gets the back of my head and presses it against the top of the tank (the lid was arched upwards so I was just getting pretty close to this spider- Mexican Red Knee to be exact. We've had a few. :l)

I went into hysterics and started thrashing and everything. He laughed over it and didnt think much of it. Now-a-days, I cant even stand house spiders or those deemed 'money spiders'. Like another user I always check rooms upon wandering into them for spiders.

Funnily enough (Yet again no..) two or so years ago one of our tarantulas 'escaped', it lived in the house for a few months before my dad came home from hospital and it ran along his feet as a 'hello'. (Being in mind id been in this room, etc also.. It used to be my bedroom..) Anyway, we didnt know it had escaped until it ran across my dads feet- he didnt want to worry us and just thought it was his age/memory getting to him. :P (He initially thought it was dead, picked it up and set it outside the cage and he went upstairs to 'set' it -taxidermy- and it was gone..)

We gave that tarantula away last year to one of my brothers friends (for free) xD. Think it was a Chiliean Rose? ..I have to try and remember these names without Google and I cant even stand images of spiders either. Ugh.

Atychiphobia - Fear of Failure;

Not sure if its an actual phobia of mine or not but ive always wanted to do well and I worry more over what my family thinks of my grades than myself. I sometimes used to miss school because this anxiety got too much and stuff (ironic..?). It tended to involve me being physically sick. :l Now im in Uni I still get a bit paranoid over it. I want to do so well, yet I end up struggling so much sometimes.. (Health issues, etc)

If I were to claim a phobia, it could be Atychiphobia - the fear of failure, but I don't know if I should claim that because it's a little different. I think I'm slightly OCD so that could be why I think so much about my future.

Myrmecophobia - Fear of Ants

I know that sounds pretty dumb because they're so small and stuff, but I seriously just can't with ants. My whole body literally shakes when I'm near them and I start to have panic attacks. I just...I don't know. I have this fear that they're going to just come in masses and invade my house or I don't even know how to explain it. I just have a strange fear of them.
