Share Your Phobias

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. The reason for this was because I was bullied and also bullied others, mostly my best friend. I used to hate seeing her smile, which she rarely did, and told her that I would kill her once she hit 16, making every day … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

My phobia is Sedatephobia, also known as the fear of silence. It has effected all of my high school classes in which I feel like throwing up every hour. Ever since I was in a quiet place in seventh grade I could not accept myself. Like I started hating myself for being able to have anxiety, feeling anxious and nervous. I have feared many other things but Sedatephobia is … [Read more...]

My name is Alicia Daly and I live in county Cork, in Ireland. I am eleven years old and I suffer from foniasophobia, which is the constant fear of being murdered. I usually avoid websites such as Facebook or Twitter as I am scared that a murderer will track me. It sounds ridiculous but I can't help feeling that way. My fear has led to my avoidance of as many people as … [Read more...]

Hi, my name is Natalie and I am 13 years old. I have so many phobias and fears I don't even know what to do with all of them. On the list of 100 phobias on this website, there are at least 70 I'm afraid of, plus several more that were not on the list I can think of. I've always had a fear of the dark, needles, and of sharks and pretty much the entire ocean, and A LOT of … [Read more...]

Warning, this will be quite long, and also, I'm just 12 years old. I used to have a best friend, who I told everything. And by everything, I mean it. Let's call her Luna. Luna was my best friend since 1st grade, we loved each other and we never fought. But at the end of 5th grade she moved to Australia. When she left, we had a girl who we used to hang out with who we'll … [Read more...]

So when i was in fifth grade it all started when my friend i thought i could trust teamed up with the person who would bully me daily and i would go home crying every day because of her. Then those two girls somehow turned everyone against me to the point when i didn’t even and still don’t know all of the rumors created about me. Ever since then i’ve been scared of not … [Read more...]

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. I loved to make friends but I really only hung around one or two close ones. I was highly energetic and very intelligent (writing that, while true, makes me feel bad). I easily … [Read more...]

Hello, I am from Brazil and I want to write about this subject because I have never seen anyone talk about it. Yes, I'm a maquillaphobic, and I've had it as long as I can remember. My first memory about maquillaphobia was at the age of 5, when, at the 1998 World Cup, the nursery school teacher painted on my cheeks. Two green and yellow stripes corresponding to the flag of … [Read more...]

Hello strangers. I'm not positive that this is a type of phobia at all, but here it is in all it's glory (I'm scared to type it because I think people are definitely gonna judge me based on my writing skills). Hi, I'm a teenage girl who just entered high school and I'm experiencing a new life in high school. Except, I still brought my old life to my new life of middle … [Read more...]

Um, a little weird and small story time? Hi :D I am someone who's clinically diagnosed with depressive psychosis and it was something that I had to face, alone, because my parents were directly and indirectly the cause of it and they used to mock me as someone who had mental issues and for the record, I had severe depression and anxiety since a young age. The most … [Read more...]

I just randomly saw this and had the need to share my fear to see if anyone else around here feels like that. I am terrified of being forgotten and just in general not being good enough. Whilst other people might look up to famous people it just makes me anxious. I know I’ll never be up there and that the people around me will just forget me as soon as I’m gone. I don’t … [Read more...]

It has been 4 years since I started suffering from social anxiety. I noticed during my class study sessions I had trouble communicating with my teachers. It happened because I could not get along with my class fellows. It was unintentional. All my class fellows had good grades in their subjects but I had below average. I was extremely embarrassed. I could not tell and … [Read more...]

I don’t know why I’m afraid of butterflies. I wish I wasn’t. Most people say,” they can’t hurt you!” I know that, but I just can’t help it. One of my first experiences with butterflies was when I was a toddler and I was watching a show about cartoon bugs and there was this HUGE butterfly that I remember coming on some episodes. It really freaked me out. The wings were so … [Read more...]
