    Putting this definition here because some people may not know the term: "A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation the affected person will go to great lengths to avoid, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed."

    Do you have a Phobia? I have a phobia of Crucifixes, Octopuses and Rejection. -_--

    Thalassiophobia......

    Don't really know how this started, maybe from the mario64 water level-.-'

    Not even sure what's scary about it, all I know is that the bigger it is, more i can see through the water without seeing the end of it, the scarier it becomes. I guess it relates to the fear of the unknown:-/

    It's called Staurophobia. When ever I'm around one I get scared.

    I've had a mild case of claustrophobia for as long as I can remember; I'm guessing it's hereditary because my dad is as well.

    And although this is recent and I have absolutely no idea how it came by, I have a phobia of papercuts - which sounds insane, but each time I get scared I need to touch a piece of paper to remind myself that they're pretty much harmless.

    Thanks for reporting my post but I'm only serious if you're serious
    I feel a bit offended that someone has said they're "scared" of a symbol of my religion without any logical reason, so for that matter, if you are completely honest, I suggest you see someone about it
    Only offering advice, not trying to start anything

    I was very afraid of him when I was little, I thought he was a skeleton LOL

    I cant wear any clothes that have holes in it especially underwear and socks, makes me cringe and super uncomfortable. I am not sure if that counts

    Globophobia. Don't know if that's the correct phobia. It's not so much the balloons themselves I fear, but rather the sound of them popping. I can't remember what started it, but ever since I was little the sound (or the anticipation) of a balloon popping scared the shit out of me. I could not be in the same room as the balloon popping - I would run to a different room and cover my ears because it scared me so much. Pathetic, I know, I still can't be in the same room when someone pops a balloon.
