I am 20 years old and have intense fears of normal social things

By Reader 1 Comment

Hello readers. I hope I don't come off as complaining, my life has been nothing but filled with love from my family. I just have issues I want to get off my chest, but I become disheartened to change because I feel like at 20 years old I have no one to relate to. I am a 20 year old junior in community college who has not gone out much. It is funny because as a child I used … [Read more...]

The Worst Past Memories

By Reader Leave a Comment

I was twelve years old since I hated the word memories. I hated taking pictures with my friends and even with my family. I don't know if it's normal or what. Then I started withdrawing with my friends who are involved with that past memory. Later on I started having nightmares, popping in and out of that worst memory, then I cry a lot, I have mood swings, and sometimes I … [Read more...]

Looking for an answer

Multiple Fears

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hallo world. I’m a teen with a decent amount of phobias. It started with ailurophobia, or fear of cats. That one is really mild, so I don’t mind it. It’s kind of funny, actually. It doesn’t really bother me, and I even cat sitted for my friend a month ago or so. It’s just that cats freak me out lol. I’m okay with that phobia, it’s just part of me. That was back in 5th … [Read more...]

Teenager: Afraid of Mostly All Relationships

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hello, my name is Mia. I experience Aphenphosmphobia and Philophobia (Fear of Touch/Intimacy and Love). I used to be super depressed from the ages of 8-13.

I can’t find what my phobia is called

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hi, I wrote another post on here about my social anxiety (medically diagnosed) but you probably didn't see that so I'll go over who I am. I am a 15 y/o high school freshman and I don't know if a name for my phobia exists yet. I have an extreme fear of large metal things in my mouth. If you've been to an orthodontist and they took a mould of your jaw with that nasty putty, … [Read more...]

My struggle with social anxiety and depression

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hi, so I'm just about to turn 15 and am a freshman in high school. I know it's going to sound like I'm self-diagnosing and I'm just a teen who is being dramatic, but I'm really not. The first part of this post is going to be about my social anxiety. I have an unrealistic and crippling fear of being judged, unaccepted, betrayed and people leaving me. I have been to a … [Read more...]

A Cornucopia of Fears

By Reader Leave a Comment

So where to begin? First off I should explain that as of this moment I am currently a 22 year old who lives with her little brother and her parents. As a kid I was both outgoing and extremely shy.
