@emmahg , you're fear isn't weird at all ! I have personally come across at least two other people on 7cups who have it . Just wanted to let you know you're not alone !

I have the same thing. I avoid certain food, hate eating out, terrified if I know anyone who is ill and have full scale meltdown if I think I'm going to chuck up.

I've been terrified of the concept of germs my entire life. It's guided 99% of my life choices and how I live day-to-day. Thankfully it's a lot more manageable now than it was ten years ago. I'll still get irrationally angry at people who sneeze too much though.

I have a lot of phobias, but actually one of my biggest phobias is Philophobia (the fear of falling in love or emotional attachment). It's really hard to cope through life with this, but I can get by with it

I think I might have this too. Sounds very familiar.

Despite being a listener, I do have a social anxiety which got to the point that I couldn't buy things from tills. The most annoying thing having this is people saying 'you will get used to it' or 'it will pass'. Today I have grown more confident due to the help of making more friends after leaving school to go to college. People who are suffering in schoo, DON'T WORRY. It will get better :)

I was able to overcome most of my fears, except that of needles. I was recently diagnosed as insulin resistent. More shots for me! crying

Primeisodophobis. Didn't even know a word existed for this. "The fear of losing one's virginity." And I'm a guy. How pathetic is it that?!

Neophobia. "Extreme or irrational fear or dislike of anything new or unfamiliar."

I have a weird fear. Trypophobia, fear of odd holes on skin, especially when there's a lot and really compact and stiff in them that I don't know what it is. I cringe, start touching my skin, tremble, hyperventilate, and itch.

@TwoWeeksAgo3712

I have that too! A large portion of people have it. It's like a natural defence thing.

claustrophobia

shortcake October 19th, 2015

Sleeping. Probably no such thing. I feel so vulnerable and completely out of control when I sleep. I have no idea what is happening around me and the fear of not knowing and being able to protect myself, my family and my environment is terrible.
