I’m not going to get all technical (yes, that is how you spell it, otherwise my computer would underline it in red, that is what you guys meant, right?) with the right -phobia words. But…
Feel free to confess your phobias in the comments!
I have a fear of chihuahuas. Those little dogs are so… not for me. (I like other dogs though)
Have you ever been in a restaurant where they dim the lights and its really crowded and you can’t see anything? Or you have that moment in the car at night, driving home, when you notice how terribly dark everything is and every headlight flashing by makes you jump? I think that is probably claustrophobia. I don’t like dim lights and I don’t like the dark, but I don’t like light at night, either. I guess I like things to be “natural”.
Fear of nothingness. Does that make sense? Sometimes I get this chilling sensation that I’m nothing, that this doesn’t exist, that I’m something else huge and yet so small. I can bring that feeling on if I want to, but usually I prefer not to.
I used to hate loud noises. It’s pretty ironic because I love watch percussion concerts. I’ve mostly gotten over that, but I’m so afraid when I hear loud noises and I don’t know what they are.
I don’t really have a fear of heights, but I do hoard things a lot. I have a very difficult time throwing stuff out, so when I’m standing on a bridge or somewhere up high, I’m always afraid I’ll drop something. I’ve never lost anyone in my family (that I was close with/really knew). I don’t have a fear of my own death, but certainly of those I love. Fear of loss is probably my worst fear.
Now I sound really paranoid. Oh well.
