    Androphobia-- fear of men.
    I was physically abused by multiple people when I was a child, which turned into sexual abuse when I hit the age of 11. Ever since, I've been terrified of men. Call it stupid and pathetic but ..yeah :l

    Female, 17. I don't know the official name of either of my phobias.

    Feet: I don't like feet at all. I'll flip if someone touches me with their feet. My boyfriend used to torture me with his until I was about to cry. I think they're gross and nasty. My own feet stay in socks almost all the time. Everyone always makes fun of me for it, but I don't see why its such a crazy phobia. Unless you have a foot fetish I don't see why anyone would be putting their feet on each other, therefore my fear of feet shouldn't be that big of a deal.

    This might be where my fear goes a little overboard though. My boyfriend was joking about kissing his ex-girlfriend's feet and I almost broke up with him and wanted to throw up. If I find out someone I've kissed has put their mouth on a foot... I'll probably cry and have a mini panic attack.

    Fear of talking to people/being around a bunch of people I don't know: I can't stand in front of a classroom without shaking and crying. Its hard for me to go to parties or hang out with my friend's friends or even my boyfriend's friends without getting horrible anxiety and wanting to leave. It's extremely hard for me to order at food places or anywhere that requires you to talk to a stranger. If anything ever goes wrong in a social situation I'll start having an anxiety attack.

    Emetophobia-- Fear of being sick. This might have something to do with the fact that I've spent 85% of my life feeling nauseous (mostly due to anxiety), but I just can't handle vomiting. Whether it's me, someone else, one of my pets or a TV character, if there's even the slightest chance that someone might possibly be sick, I panic. I'd rather watch someone getting their head chopped off in a movie then see them/hear them throw up. Just writing about it right now is freaking me out a little bit...

    I have this one horrible, almost debilitating phobia that I will not name. It gives me really bad panic attacks when the situation arises, and I'm always in fear because of it.
    ...But then I have this other phobia of telling people the aforementioned phobia, or them finding out about it, because I'm afraid they'll use it against me, even on a site like Mibba. >_____>

    But I do have one phobia I'll name: acrophobia, fear of heights. Mine's pretty bad. I used to live in a two-story house, and I couldn't even look out the windows on the second floor without getting vertigo. I basically can't look over or down from anything that's over six or so feet tall without getting horrible vertigo and nausea and all that fun stuff. I'm so glad I'm short, or I couldn't even look at my feet D:

    I have Lepidopterophobia.

    Its not an "official" phobia, and not really precise, but its the closest thing I could find other than Mottephobia.

    I am terrified of moths and butterflies.

    I can't remember their actual names, but I have a fear of heights, spiders, enclosed spaces + crowds, speaking in public, injections (not needles, specifically injections), and natural forces (fire, extreme weather, earthquakes, etc.)

    I've heard the names of all the others except the last one. I don't know if it's actually got a -phobia term or not. I suppose each one would have it's own name.

    Fear of heights was a pretty bad one when I was put on the seventh floor in halls. ¬_¬ I just never looked down out of my window.

    Genophobia, haptephobia, haemophobia...
    (fear of sex, being touched by the opposite sex, and blood...)

    Oh and the dark, and heights.
    People often find it quite ironic because I'm really tall, but I can't even stand to walk across a bridge. The first time in my life I went on a carnival ride, one that spins in the air, was just last weekend. I was honestly scared for my life :3
