What are your Phobias/Fears?
I'll start with mine

-Acrophobia (Fear of Heights)
-Emetophobia (Fear of Throwing Up)
-Hemophobia (Fear of Blood)
-Necrophobia (Fear of Death, the Dead)
-Taphophobia (Fear of the grave, or fear of being placed in a grave
while still alive.)
-Pediophobia (Fear of Dolls or Children) but im more of a fear of
dolls, not children.
-Fear of Caterpillars (i don't think there's a term for fear of
caterpillar.)
-Fear of Leeches (i have no idea what it's called, leechophobia maybe~!)
If you want to know more about your phobias, here's a list of Phobias to get started: link

-Taphophobia (Fear of the grave, or fear of being placed in a grave while still alive.)- I don't fear death, but the thought of live burial terrifies beyond measure. When I 'die', my family are to put a plastic bag over my head for twenty minutes just in case.


Arachnaphobia (Fear of spiders)- Can't handle spiders. Even the sight of them makes me panic. Urgh!

Algophobia (fear of pain.) - i guess...well i really hate it, lol, so half fear half big dislike

Arachnophobia (fear of spiders)

Entomophobia (fear of insects) - not all, just the big ones, creepy ones, ugly ones...yup

Ornithophobia (fear of birds) - any kind of birds, not specific, hate them all. Oh and i've freaked out from birds before being in a few metre radius of me, it's not so bad now though, lol.

fear of dragonflies erm....don't no if that's even heard of but i can't stand them
i don't mind photos or people talking about or even watching them or tv (infact i have some dragonflie earings lol....metalic, their not real!)

but as soon as i see one in real life i freak out, complete hysteria, i have fainted, screamed in public and even jumped fully clothed in to river just because i saw one, i'm still not sure why it seemed like a logical thing to do when i was hysteric

heights and small spaces can freak me out a bit, but in a good way like a andrelin rush way
