First off. Phobias are no laughing matter if you got some. I have listed couple of odd ones. Some of my readers added some other things they are afraid of. So feel free to add yours too.

I think the first step to overcomecome your phobias is to admit them and the be able to talk about. Maybe this thread helps you a little. Seeing that other people being afraid of odd things might help too.

    quite a varied list. If I got to pick which phobia I have (yes, it’s a silly notion), it’d be Lutraphobia. I don’t think I’ve seen a single otter in person. Perhaps I do have Lutraphobia and I just don’t know it.

    You forgot one:
    Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

    i have a fear of raw meat. i live by myself and it limits my cooking abilities! on a good day i can handle it very quickly (straight from the package to the pot, pan, or whatever) as long as i have on rubber gloves or plastic bags over my hands.
    and to go to a restaurant and order a steak ‘well done’ with ‘no pink what-so-ever’ doesn’t work very often. i always have to send it back or its burnt to a crisp!

    For being scared of seaweed.
    Can someone please tell.

  38. jessica wrote,

    i have a HUGE fear of snails. and slugs too.
    i don’t know exactly why, but it has a lot to do with their “slimy-ness.”
    snails more than anything. i can’t be near one, or i get major anxiety attacks and freak out.
    it also has to do with my fear of insects/animals with SHELLS. for example, crabs, lobsters, turtles, snails, cockroaches.

    what would you call a fear of shells?
    (not the kind you find in the sand.)

  39. josh wrote,

    I have pernoctation, which is a fear of pigeons.
    I hate them so much, that whenever I see them walking infront of me, cutting across my path, I freak out and run the opposite direction.
    When I was younger, I was attacked by many pigeons and I have the scars to prove it.

    Has there been a diagnosis of a phobia of a meat slicer? My friend is traumatized by them.

    cutting/scratching/ anything like that on a wrist i will faint.
    whenever someone talks about them i cover mine and protect them i keep doing it now that im trying to type about them
    i also have a fear of veins they scare me terribly i find them so gross and sickening ahh ugh i get the chills thinking about them.
    my last fear is getting shots into your veins. in the inside of your elbow scares me the most. it scares me terribly i will NEVER let anyone do that to me but on the other hand its kinda good cause i will never inject drugs into myself lol

  56. leticia wrote,

    i have a fear of bubbles. it started when my friend burned his arm and then his skin bubbled up. Oh the horror!

  57. Mugugey wrote,

    I hate slugs too! I love snails though, I think its ‘cos slugs are all exposed and the slimyness can touch you (if that makes sense?).
    Also I hate other peoples ’stuff’ like clothes or shoes or especially things like ‘bathroom stuff’(toothbrushes, hairbrushes, girly products etc).
    And wet dishcloths, they are disgusting!
    And anything to do with injuring hands, like kids getting their fingers caught in car doors, or nails falling off but that fear is legitimate ‘cos I caught my thumb between a concrete wall I was knocking down and the sledgehammer I was using to knock it down. My nail had to be removed and my thumb got infected and now(7years later) it still doesnt bend properly!

    Umm and last thing: fast cars or people messing about in cars(driving silly, swerving for no reason, etc). Again I feel this is legitimate as I was in a car accident a few years back and still have flashbacks and nightmares.

    God I’m a right bundle of neuroses aren’t I?!?!

  58. Brittney wrote,

    OMG! I am not the only one afriad of Jello! It warms my heart that other people afraid of jello were kind enough to share there thoughts! Jello terrifies me so! I will freak TOTALLY FREAK if you even give me the recipe for jello! It horrifies me that the monster even exists! I have no real reason for being afraid of it, but man, is it scary! I run fevers when people touch me with it, and I can hardly breathe when when I hear it spoken. Anyone else afraid of jello? Email me and we can talk! yoimjohnyj@aol.com

  59. Maury wrote,

    I’m afraid of balloons. Seriously, no one believes me and they chase me with them and sometimes it gets so bad I cry. Usually I’ll just get tense and cover my ears when I’m around them. I think it’s mostly the anticipation of them popping. I’m not afraid of deflated ones, and if I hold the balloons it’s ok because I know they won’t pop. Weird…and fear of balloons is not on any of the phobia list sites. :(

  60. Nancy wrote,

    I have a phobia of throwing up (ugh, i’m shuddering just thinking about it), but it’s not on the list, yet, then again, it is fairly common (sadly)

    other phobias–
    spiders
    my ex-husband kidnapping my daughter
    my ex-husband killing me and my daughter and my parents
    but I do have good reasons for the last two…although my fear can get out of control and become overwhelming so easily
    okay..moving along
    fear of never being married again
    big birds like cockatoos and cockateels
    loud sudden noises
    crowds-at times
    grocery stores at times I feel the roof WILL fall in on me
    the color red used alot in a store –I will have a panic attack and have to leave
    fear of if I do ever get married again…he will be violently abusive to my daughter and myself

    yes..i am in counseling :) yes ..i do take medication :)
    yes..i am trying so hard to get him put in jail for violently sexually assaulting my daughter for over 5 years on visitation… the wheels of justice are broken..but yes God WILL punish him

  67. Jasmine wrote,

    Yeah, I’m afraid of needles and pulses. I mean, I’m afraid of getting my pulse taken, not them in general. But yeah… my dad is always making fun of me and trying to take my pulse cuz he has to “practice” for school, but he’s just trying to freak me out. But, just wondering, does anyone know the name for the phobia of pulses or blood pressure being taken, cuz I can’t find it anywhere. I think it’s Sphygmophobia, but that’s only cuz I looked up the word for pulse in Greek and added phobia, so I’m not completely sure. Thanks!

  68. Marie wrote,

    I have a fear of odd numbers, although I don’t know the name of it.
    This means I must have the TV’s volume on an even number, and only increase it or decrease it by even numbers as well. The same goes for the radio and any other item with numbers which denote volume.

    also kellie: i got that Far Side reference. nice.

  73. Tina wrote,

    I have a fear of buildings falling down while I’m in them. The fear normally starts while I’m in the passanger seat of a car and for some reason I start thinking that there is too much weight on the floor in my apartment or any building and the floor will collapse and I start freaking out or the building I work in will collapse while I’m in it. Once I get inside I’m totally fine and the phobia goes away. Once there were way too many people in a club and all I could think about was that it’s too much weight and the floor will collapse right under us. I hate it and I wish I knew what it was called…if there even is a name for it.

  74. Julia wrote,

    I have a fear of all the bubbles being the same size and in rows like the hexagons in beeswax. When this happens and I’m wshing the dishes I have to fluff it up until it’s gone. Anyone know what that’s called?

  75. Rachael wrote,

    I’m deathly afraid of astronauts.
    I don’t know why.
    I freak out really bad, if i see a picture of one.
    Once my friend shoved a picture of an astronaut in my face in class and i started hyperventilating. i always do if i see a picture of one and my eyes start watering and i get a heaviness in my chest like a can’t breathe, and i just really hate them and people breathing loud in my ear.

    Fear of clowns: The King of All Weird phobias

    Does the name Pennywise tell you something? Maybe the chills, maybe some fear, maybe some hatred, or maybe nothing. Imagine that you are alone in your house, it’s getting dark, you can’t see really well. The door bell rings, you go downstairs very slowly, you open the door and… Pow! A big clown face greets you with an annoying/devilish laughter GUFFAW, GUFFAW, GUFFAW!!!Fear of clowns, together with fear of driving and fear of success, is one of the most known weird phobias and fears.

    Fear of clowns, or its scientific name coulrophobia, is an extreme fear towards these hated creatures. It isn’t true what they say: clowns are not funny, cute or good-spirited creatures. Well, maybe they are, depending on who is or who is not afraid of clowns. There has always been ambivalence, since people have managed to label clowns into two types. The good, funny one with fear of driving and the evil, sinister one, that kidnaps people and puts them in the trunk of the car to eat them later. Fear of clowns could be toward both of them. However, weird phobias and fears tend to address the evil clown.

    Fear of clowns is more common with children; say ages 2 to 7, nonetheless, it can also be found among teenagers and some adults. These weird phobias and fears are caused by two main reasons:

    1) Children grow fear of clowns after experiencing a dramatic situation with a clown in person. It may have been at a neighbor’s party, or a cruel prank the child’s father made. This fear is usually carried to the child’s adult life. A similar situation happen with fear of driving, where a traumatic situation makes the brain to retain that episode.

    2) After seeing a malefic portrayal of a clown in the movies, television or media in general.

    A Social Phobia

    There has been a tendency in popular culture to turn the clown persona upside down, providing it with traits of horror. Fear of clowns as part of the weird phobias and fears have been feeding of human terror since the 70’s. Weary Willie the clown created one of the first cases of multiple personality in the body of the Kelly’s dynasty, father and son. On decade later a whole lot of movies started to give a bigger stardom to these Machiavellian characters. Movies like ‘It’ and ‘Killer Klowns From Outer Space’ really created a culture of fear among youngsters. With other generations, evil clown costumes are very popular in Halloween celebrations, town festivals and parties all over.

    All these weird phobias and fears, including fear of driving and fear of dentists are easy to treat. Medication and therapy are valuable options, but sometimes psychological assistance is not even necessary. These weird phobias make me think: There has to be something scary about a bunch of people coming out of a tiny car. That might even cause me a new fear of driving.

    People always think that it’s really weird that I’m afraid of a “harmless mollusk.” It might be harmless, but it still makes me cry when someone chases me with one. XD

    Balloons freak me out too. I’m always anticipating them to pop, so if there’s a kid squeezing the crap out of a balloon, I’ll just leave the premises.

    I’m really odd! I have a fear of stepping on slugs not off slugs, I stepped on one about a year ago and I completly freaked out. The other day when it was raining I was on a feild with my dog and I had to inspect every inch of where I was going to step before I stepped, terrified of stepping on a slug, My worst fears came about tonight when I stepped barefoot onto a slug, I was heaving and almost crying, I got in the shower right away washing my foot with shower gel, about six times, and then scrubbing it with a shower lily with a seperate shower gel, I refused to use the same lily on my body, because I thought it had slug germs on it. I then got out of the shower and got the bacterial stuff and rubbed it all over my toes and feet and then I moisturised it and then sprayed it with perfume.

    I also have a fear of thunder and lightning which is called astrophobia

    I’m a magazine journalist and i write for all the womens magazines in the uk.
    I’m looking for a story about someone (preferably a UK resident) who has an unusual phobia that severely affects their life. I need a female angle so it must either be a lady with a phobia or a guy whose phobia affects his relationship with his wife/girlfriend.
    These are well paid features and depending on how unique the story it could fetch anything from £300+ (often achieving between £600 and £1,000). The more unusual the story and the more it affects your life, the better chance there is of achieving top fees.
    The magazine feature will be written in the 1st person (your perspective), giving the opportunity for you to tell it in your own words.
    If you are interested and want to know more please email me at adamarmstrong@hotmail.co.uk
    I look forward to hearing from you

    I just want to point out that it’s not a phobia unless it is causing major psychological distress to be around or reminded of a certain thing and you do everything it takes to avoid being near or reminded of the thing that is causing that fear.

    It is not a phobia if you are grossed out by something, hate something, or even are just afraid of something. Like… I’m afraid of heights, falling, the dark, spiders and bees, but they’re not psychologically distressing, and I can tolerate them. With a phobia, I wouldn’t be able to do that.
