I'm afraid og being paintet with stamps, toush and whatever. Therfore i'm extremely afraid of tattoos. It's called tatuozuaphobia or something. I just paniced because a near friend showed his new and first tattoo.. I'm soo anxious that i'm not able to talk about my fear and i'm being really akward in the situation and need to leave the party... really sad. Anybody else dealing with something similar?
TW ️: have intensive crippling intrusive fear of having a stroke or an allergic reaction. I don't know if there is a name for this phobia. Last night I had a panic attack because I thought my throat was closing up. Sometimes I get panic attacks because I started to think that I'm having a stroke. It happens frequently. I also developed a new fear and intrusion thoughts about my teeth falling out and chewing on them .
The dentist. I had a traumatic experience when I was quite young. It seems silly but I didn’t know what a dentist was before one came into my classroom. I was forced to get checked up in front of the whole class, my friend had to drag me up there while I was sobbing. I was adamant after that to never see one. Would throw fits if my parents tried to take me, would even think about running away if they ever tried to physically force me. I am heavily regretting my childhood now. Hit a block of depression in my teens, couldn’t take care of myself. My hygiene hit an all time low, I could barely get out of bed. Years of neglect plus never having been to a dentist before and now I have a mouthful of problems. Like a billion problems. They’re starting to get worrisome but I still cannot find the courage to go. I’m terrified of the pain/discomfort of the treatments, embarrassed about the state of my teeth, and full of anxiety just typing this. I want to be able to smile healthily and confidently someday, but I don’t have the bravery right now to do what I need to do. Wouldn’t wish this phobia on anyone.

hello! Thanks for sharing this!:) phobias are normal although not fun many people experience them,
Im afraid of dogs and cats. As far as i know its started when i was like 3-5 years old i stepped on our dog’s tail and from his pain he barked right in my face , and i got that scared that im still afraid of them till this day. Tbh i question if thats the reason im afraid of them bc it sounds silly so idk. The worst thing is that I LOVE cats and dogs , but i get terrified when im around them. I also hate when people be like “oH nO ItS gOinG to EAt YOu” like no im not thinking that they are going to eat me.

The closet thing to it is Allodoxaphobia; that is a fear of other peoples opinion or criticism
I have a fear of doors and the round of rattling doorknobs/knocking. I got diagnosed with a seizure disorder last year and the new medication I was on made me hallucinate.
I have a lot of fear’s accumulated over my lifetime. I don’t know the names of them. I will just name a few.
Heights, anything involving me around people, all of my issues, losing my grip on reality, coming out, fear of having emotions, of loving and being loved. Just to name a few.
i have pseudodysphagia. it started around one or two years ago and living has only gotten harder since. every day is a fight :)
