I'm terrified of windows. Every time I'm near one I get super anxious, especially at night. They have to be closed, locked, and covered for me to even feel the least bit safe. Also, someone else has to do those things for me, because I won't go near them. Mirrors are another thing. They're not as bad as windows, but they definitely make me feel extremely uneasy.

@Estelle1313 for some reason when i was in high school I hated bananas. I ate them.before high school and I eat them again now, but those years in high school i refused to eat bananas or anything banana-flavored. It wasn't too much of a phobia though. I just thought bananas were gross. No idea why.

Spiders... And oceans 😬

Most of mine are sort of basic. Heights, spiders, commitment, the dark- that sort of thing.

Except for one: the fear of being hit by a car when I'm checking the mail. And I don't mean 'fear of getting hit by a car', I mean 'fear of getting hit by a car ONLY when I'm checking the mail'. Otherwise I'm not really afraid of cars.

Needles, the unfortunately cortisone shots every three months for my quickly fading dancer body

My phobia is frogs. I don't know why. When someone mentions their names I start to shake if I see them I will cry and scream it's the worst phobia (by worst I mean worst stage)

Darkness, i'm so afraid of it. I get panic attacks whenever i'm in a dark room or place.

It's ridiculous, and I have no idea where it comes from, but I'm absolutely terrified by automated sliding doors. I have a hard time getting into an elevator or a train, or even into Target!

I have a lot of phobias. Thunderstorms, the feeling of utter rejection and being shunned out by friends and family, but I think my biggest phobia is pain. Both emotional and physical. I don't know why either, exactly. Perhaps it's because of my social-anxiety issues and the fact that I can be considered a bit of a society outcast can really contribute to these fears of mine. Except for thunderstorms. That fear came all on its own. O.O

I am afraid of basically any kind of bug (even butterflies, they really creep me out). I also have a phobia of roller coasters. Just being near a roller coaster makes me very anxious.
