I guess i would have to say that i have a weird phobia...I'm freaked out by dolls i guess its becuz they look too human or somethin idk they just give me tha creeps....im not talkin about mannequins like that....i mean like Barbie n those Porcelain things....geez just walkin into a room with those things in them.....*shudders*

Dogs and needles. Needles for obvious reasons, but people always seem to have trouble with the Dog one, its not like i hate dogs it's just that for some reason they terrify me, i dont care if there gonna hurt or bite me but if im around one without a lead im very likely to cry.

Advice would be it takes time to get over a phobia, i mean it depends on what yours is but i used to freak out if a car drove past me with the dogs head sticking out the window. It took me a couple of years but now i only get upset if they're near me without a lead rather than just freaking out knowing they're within 200 mtres of me.

Good luck with whatever it is :)

I don't know that I would consider it a phobia, but I am not a huge fan of water.  I can't stand water near my face and can't take a shower without a towel within arms' reach.  I had a really hard time in swim class when I was a kid because I just couldn't put my head under water.  I ended up learning to swim on my own, and only with the aid of a swimming mask.

I joke about having a fear of commitment. But truth is I am afraid to waste any more of my good years in the wrong relationship.  I don't think there is a pill for that...  But if my fear was to the point of diminishing my quality of life, I would totally seek professional help.

Yes...it may be dumb...but elevators and escalators scare the shit out of me.  I always take the stairs if they are available.  I dont like the feeling of not being in control, where as if i take the stairs i am in complete control.  I dunno, maybe im just crazy.

It may seem silly, but I am afraid of autistic/retarded people.

one kid bit me out of no where when i was a kid... I've been afraid of them ever since...

I hate spiders, and im also a mild germophobe...

Hi there. Real phobias arise in our lives for different reasons.  When I was younger I had a very real fear of germs that led to compulsive hand washing.  Later, in therapy, I learned that these types of phobias develop from a deap need to bring some type of manageable control into one's life, often after one has dealt with uncontrolable and/or distressing situations in her life. 

In my case,  I was abused by a "friend" of the family when I was quite young and the germ phobia and some other irrational fears emerged when I was 11-ish.  I fought my way through my phobias then, only for them to reappear in myy 40s.  Fortunately, good help and medicines were available this time.   While Paxil helped me a great deal, I also recommend getting some counseling to "unpack" some of the feelings that come along with your phobia(s).  It can make a tremendous difference in your freedom to live life.

I do wish you well!

I have a strong fear of the dark closed spaces.  My fear was so bad back in my college days when I took a took photography. My classmates had to hold me down  in the darkroom so I wouldn't expose their film to the light by running out the door.  I  cried  and developed a panic attack. My 2nd scariest moment ever.  My first  moment happened when my brother and I were kids, he had locked me the closet where it was dark and no place to escape.  I screamed,paniced and cried.  He thought it was funny. I thought I was going to die.

I'm still trying to get over my fear of dark closed spaces but I realized I need to see a hypnotherapist for the cure.

The fear of Clowns & Needles....

Xanax helps alot....

my phobias are not that severe to physically crimple me but I do have a bad reaction and fear does ensue. I ran away from Clowns or tell them to sod off and even have the urge to do bodily harm to them.

As for needles, I avoid them like the plague.  I'm like a child that needs candy or something else to mentally forget the trauma.

Hate crowds, and spiders(any creepy crawlies, but especially spiders)

Just a little FYI...most meds that are offered for such "treatment" can kill your sex drive. Think about your phobia and keep asking yourself "so what?". If you hate spiders and you're worried one will touch you....ask yourself "so what?" If you have an answer for that then ask again..."so what?".

Trust me. You will eventually reach a final answer.

Yes. I have a few.

Spiders - They're disgusting. Truly are. And the big ones always have a tendency to just 'pop up' out of nowhere. Example: Ya walk out of a room and WHAM right in front of you on the wall. I can almost hear them yell "Got ya!" Yegh

Clowns - Yeah. IT. The only reason I would be near them is if I have a child with me. I will freeze up and I'll give it the look of death if it even reaches out towards me.

Dolls - Don't nearly freak me out as much as Spiders or Clowns do. But hey. I've seen Child's Play. I don't trust them. Horror Movie Rule - Don't give your kid a doll that talks back.

Bugs - Disgusting. 'nuff said.

Yes I Know. I have issues.

I am scared of small animals...

It is pretty pathetic... it is annoying when freinds say "My pet X, you'll like her/him" and then they get offended that I am still scared.

I have had quite a few bad experiences with small animals, when I was small a cat scratched my face, and a few years ago when I was sleeping a rat jumped on my face (the house was being renovated and there was no roof)

I really hate feet.all types of feet.the only good ones are babies cause there cute but for anything else they really turn me of.and yes im scared of them.i also hate frogs,the way they look at you and jump scares me.but my biggest would probably have to be needles.they make my stomach turn.

i have a strange phobia that came outta nowhere and bit me in the ass which is of caterpillars. i used to love em as a kid but now i completely freak by them. like absolutely terrified and i'd rather be around a snake.

also clowns, gnomes, and glass dolls freak the hell outta me and make me get goosebumps and cold chills. come to think of it...Goosebumps is probably wat started my phobias in the first place :p

and i have a phobia of either being closed too tight in somewhere or being out too open also, like in the center of an ocean with no land...i'd die in the bermuda triangle :p

i'm still working on how to get over mine. I jsut have to push myself and say im' stronger than that and get over it.

[Copied from a duplicate thread] 

i know a lot of people might laugh but i cant stand the dark. i have the wildest imagination ever, and in the dark, it seems to work in my disadvantage. it feels like im not in control of my surroundings cause i cant see in it very well when its dark. it just totally makes me wanna run out of the room!

 bugs and reptiles and animals - i cant handle either very well. i remember having the worse time in the zoo ever! cause i hated all the bugs and the reptiles..snakes and komodo dragons and all others in between! gosh it gives me the creep right now.. and i cant handle some big animals too.

 needles - i cant take injections. cause i could literally imagine the needle poking through the skin, howit tugs on the skin till it finally POPS through it. *shivers*

boy do i have issues. :S

Cotton balls. It's terrible.

 Snow plows, an d walking thur the woods at night.

I used to have to walk home along dirt roads in snow storms, and I woudl scare myself to pieces thinking the plow woudl come by and not see me. or if I took a short cut in the tree line, I woudl be captured by ents or dyraids.

Canadian studies can really open your mind, but only up to a point, and even then it is pretty canada based.

 same here , butterflies scare me death lol so do caterpillars .. they are disgusting.. actually i hate all insects in general 

Another phobia of mine: noises esp loud ones.. i am ultra sensitive to specific noises (to name an example.. i am afraid of  touching metal pots because of the sounds they make , this may sound extremely  bizarre to the majority of u) . have been this way since a very young age..

school.... i can't count the amount of times i've dropped out of school because i can't deal with group work, talking in front of the class.. just trying to make conversation with classmates.. probably goes back to being a kid. wasn't exactly the most popular girl in class and this teacher loved yelling at me and making me feel dumb. oh and the other kids.. totally "frozen out".

when i enter a classroom i totally freeze up. get all cold inside.. this cold and hollow feeling. and i start feeling sick.. like i'm gonna puke. and i go mute. and scared everyone is looking and thinking "what's the deal with that freak". it's gotten better though. I think you just have to get yourself out there and work on what scares you.

i'm working on it :P taking nursing classes next year.. so let's just hoooope for the best :P

Spiders..........Yuck!!!!!!!!

and dogs

I hate needles!! ough When I saw a needle my bodie shakes. When I was little and I needed an injection I literally run away, my mom and the doctor have to follow me all around the place to catch me hehe.

Good Girls Go To Heaven...But Bad Girls Go Everywhere

omg so i am scared of everything, like heights and spiders and snakes and all that. but my real fears are confined places like drowning and suffocation i guess are sort of the same but tight places or burried alive. would flip me way out.

i had to do a phobia representation in graphic design class and to find a good strange phobia check them out at phobialist.com they get really weird and stupid.

So, I play with bugs, I own a snake, I have no problems with sharks or inclosed spaces or even heights.  However, I do have one big fear:

Chickens

I fucking hate those things.  They're terrifying.  *Shudder*, I can't even look at pictures of them.
