Would this count as a phobia?
Seems kinda like a mental disorder to me ._. I hate it... Makes me think I'm the only real person alive.[/QUOTE]
Holy shit, I always think about this. I had no idea this was a thing though
[QUOTE=CrispexOps;32934511]On a side note, dealing with darkness and scariness and whatnot:

This.
Also me and my sister both have Trypophobia. It doesn't actually scare us, it just makes us sick.
I'm scared of spiders. When I get bit, it causes massive swelling. The worst place I've been bitten is my eyelid. There's not a single fun thing about it.
I'm also scared of syringe needles, to the point of getting sick from the sight of them.
One last thing is that I have the constant feeling of things on my skin, like tiny little insects that aren't actually there, and every time I feel it (which is very often) I touch or rub the area just to make sure there isn't anything there.

This thread is now covered in dicks. We held on for as long as we could guys.

Yeah I'm totally afraid of gay porn too.
Playing lots of Nightmare House 2 at night will do that to you.
Trypanophobia (syringes)
and Acrophobia (height) but only at a certain heights (around 15 feet and then again at 60-85 ft)
I also suffer from occasional hallucinations :/

ironically enough for a trypanophobic, I aspire to be a medical doctor... and heroin addict(maybe).

added irony for an acrophobic, I want to join the Air Force.
I've actually been diagnosed with Anxiety disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I can control the anxiety now after several years of therapy and becoming a practicing buddhist, but odd numbers and large messes fill me with a kind of indescribable dread.
[QUOTE=Smokes;32933391]I'm not sure if there is already a thread dealing with this, but this is for phobia help. I want to start it because I really need help with my phobia now, and I hope I can lend a hand to other facepunchers.
I've lived with my phobia of taxidermy my entire life, as far back as I can remember I've hated taxidermy, statues, and dioramas. They've caused me panic attacks and ruined a lot of really awesome vacations. Now I'm starting to wonder if I need some professional help with my fear. For the last couple of months I've been losing sleep over nightly vivid panic dreams filled with taxidermy. I wake up crying and so afraid. The dreams are becoming more and more vivid. I'm afraid to open doors or walk into familiar places where I know there will be no taxidermy, because now I'm scared it'll just appear from thin air. Usually in every dream I have a reoccurring head of a gemsbok with unusually long, curly ibex like horns, sometimes I'm forced to walk through the horns to get to someone that I love before something horrible can happen to them. He just stares at me other times, I'm pretty sure he hates me. Taxidermy tends to give me this slightly claustrophobic feeling mixed with the need to run or make myself as small as I possibly can, some of you might know that feeling. I'm so tired (literally) and I don't know how much more of this mental torment I can take, it's making me sick. I need solutions.
I really wish I could explain this more, but I'm pretty freaked out just thinking about it right now.[/QUOTE]
I take it you never liked plush toys when you were young?
Arachnophobia here. Small spider? Scream. Big spider? Scream. Any size of spider, so long as I can or can not see it? Scream and try and find a place away from aforementioned spider. Living in a house that is almost constantly filled with spiders of any and all shapes, sizes and colours is driving me insane. Good ol' Australia, here to help my day-to-day life once more.
Bugs, any type of creepy crawly.
Ants
Spiders
Butterflies
Dragonflies
Arachnids
flies (well not entirely, they're just annoying)
I hate them all
Anything that I define as having an abnormal amount of legs (more than 4) makes me freak out. I found a centipede in my shoe which had visible fangs, I just shrieked and ran.
Phobia of Dirty chairs and bird poo.
[QUOTE=Elite Wolf;32934966]Yeah I'm totally afraid of gay porn too.[/QUOTE]
Homophobe.
Large bodies of water etc. from traumatic event. I used to thing most phobias were people just being scared of things for a dumb reason until a couple of years ago.
I got scared as shit when i see worms, i dont know why. For me they are so fucking scary, it is like a hell to walk on the streets after heavy rains, they are everywhere. When i see dead one i jump away from it, when they are live and moving it is much worse, i guess its called panich attack.
Also I scared about cars a bit, because one just rode over my leg and broke it, sometimes it still hurts.
I'm not extremely afraid of the dark but it does bother me sometimes. Especially sense my senses like to fuck with me and make phantom footstep/movement sounds behind me.
I feel for you OP, statues are fucking scary.

Burglars/murderers and fast insects
Xenophobia here, likely caused by my PTSD. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as you can guess from the name I've also gone through a traumatic experience)
Xenophobia basically means "Fear of the unknown", but for me it mostly results in anger.
My friend once randomly asked me "What song do you hear in your head right now?", I said that I didn't hear anything. I really couldn't on the spot think of any way to explain the really angry sounding voices / animal sounds. (I'm not even sure how to describe it)'
Anger is a big part of me though it may not be very visible for others.
I often find myself getting irritated and angry when new things happen, and when there's things I don't understand. In those cases, I don't want to learn about it, I just for one reason or another begin to hate it.
I'm also very paranoid about everything, could give examples but I'm a bit tired right now.
Sometimes I get very sad as well, especially when I find myself in trouble because of these things that I can't control. I really really try to change myself, but I'm not sure if I ever can recover completely. :(
PAPER CUUUUUTSSSS AAAAAAAAAAHH
Airplanes.
I'm afraid that one day a spider will be hiding in the toilet bowl so when I empty my bowels it comes out and bites me and I can't get away.
[QUOTE=Glowwerm;32946288]I'm afraid that one day a spider will be hiding in the toilet bowl so when I empty my bowels it comes out and bites me and I can't get away.[/QUOTE]
Oh my god I have the exact same fear. [B]Every time[/B] I've been going to the bathroom for the past 10 years I have always checked in the toilet bowl, under the lid, behind the toilet e.t.c. for spiders. It all began when I was 8, I had just taken a shit and I pulled down the lid only to see a huge ass spider sitting there.
As you might guess, I have arachnophobia. Actually, it's not just spiders I fear, but pretty much every insect (with some exceptions like mud-worms and fruit flies). Some insects I just try to avoid calmly while others make me freak out and give me a panic attack, like bees, wasps and spiders.
I also have a slight fear of the dark. It's not as strong as my fear for insects, but for example whenever I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and then go back to my room in darkness, my heartbeat goes up and I usually run to my room, always checking my back instinctively, with a huge relief/burst of happiness once I'm finally in my room and have closed my door.
I don't really have any phobias. I have fears, but they're not the same thing.
[QUOTE=ultra_bright;32940019]Homophobe.[/QUOTE]
I was being sarcastic that time. I actually have a phobia with any small bug that flies, especially ones with stingers (Bees, Wasps, etc.).
I'm afraid of bad threads
