What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
I wouldn’t say I have an actual phobia, but I completely understand people with trypophobia. It makes me very uncomfortable and I find it pretty revolting.
Heights - fuck high places.
Spikey objects like injects
Almost fell over twice because I just saw one
Do you get vaccine shots? My brother did not like them as a kid but has gotten better as an adult.
Yes, but I almost always start to hyperventilate and get a panic attack. When I got the 3rd Corona vaccine shot, I had to lie down because it started getting back before my eyes
No, not really. I dislike wasps and hornets but nothing debilitating. I feel sorry for anyone with a fear of the sun or fear of money. Some of the more irrational fears must be hard to deal with.
Just the normal concerns of heights, spiders, killer clowns, etc… I actually love storms, rain, and the night in general.
Spiders. Terrified of them to the point of just picking a direction and running until im far 😂
If there’s a single spider sighting in the house, my wife is affraid to go to bed alone for the entire week. I’ve suggested therapy, but she’s read somehwere that therapy involves showing you pictures of spiders until you’re not affraid anymore and the thought of that scares her already.
Yup. Especially those fuckers with extra long legs. Just pure horror.
And also many other insects with long legs.
