I have always been terrified of the dark.

Being touched by guys, germs, bees, and also gaining weight

I used to be scared of blood (even in movies), but now it's not much of a problem anymore.

I used to have a phobia of dogs, but now I'm only scared of the big (especially black) ones that make a lot of noise, run towards other people and that don't have an owner (or that have an owner who doesn't care if their dog bothers other people).

Now I'm still scared of insects, dolls (especially the broken ones), death (although I shouldn't because I'm a Catholic, but I have to say my fear of dying kept me from suicide a lot of years ago), and being abandoned by my friends.

@nyagaroxas I have emtophobia (a fear of v***t) and two branches of entomophobia (specific insect phobia) : Spheksophobia (Wasps) and Aphiphobia (Bees). My insect phobias are so bad that I cant go outside properly in summer and I often find myself running into roads and In front of cars to get away from a wasp or bee. I cant even look at a picture of a wasp. My emet is also very bad to the point where i eel incredibly ill on a daily basis just because I am I so scared of being ill.

I am also a hypochondriac but as my emet makes me fear hospitals I am just in a constant state of fear.

Therapy is too expensive and my friends and family are not supportive at all so these threads are all I really have

@raspberryMaple2604 I am scared of bugs too, but I am terified of spiders. Even seeing a picture of a spider scares me. Even if I hear the song The Itsy Bitsy Spider, I get the willies. I hate spiders so much, so I understand your insect phobia.

well, one of my friends told me i most likely have Misophonia since i had a panic attack when i got shouted at one time.
i think i also have Automatonophobia (fear of animatronics), Necrophobia (fear of death), and slight Arachnophobia (fear of spiders)

Mine is of bread...? Not really sure where this came from but I'm genuinely afraid of bread I can't even look at it or be near it. I also have this weird thing about particles in the air getting onto my food so nothing can be near my food and no one else can touch it... it's weird and idk why I'm like this but everyone hates me for it

Agoraphobia. Its not really much like the other phobias in the sense that its not about some animal or object, but instead of panic attacks. And Im honestly stuck in my house for years because of it with no way out. It sucks when no one understands.

Atelphobia- the fear of not being good enough. It makes me too clingy and it will push my friends away, which is what i am scared of.

I have a strong fear of being alone/ loved ones leaving. I think its kinda because I was accidentally left in a museum when I was little and Ive had bad break ups. Im okay with being left alone at home for awhile or going out on my own Im not okay being far away from a loved one for long periods of time like days (I get restless and need to be distracted or I will start getting really nervous thinking they might of died or have grown bored of me and eventually believe they are never coming back for me) which sucked when my parents had to leave for a few days to go to my sisters hockey tournaments, or my lover would be too busy to respond.
