Do you have any phobias?

[Chippiewill]

I still constantly fail to comprehend why some people dislike/are afraid of sunlight. I have a friend irl who hates the sun with a passion and I'm confused as to why ?

That's why they're irrational fears.

[orientalframe?]

i have a fear of death and a fear of vomiting, and that's about it really. i'm not sure if i'd go far as a phobia, but i'm sure that anxiety (if anyone else on here suffers from it) does not help at all

That's why they're irrational fears.

Makes sense I suppose.

See, I have a dislike of heat and sunlight, because I'm ginger and I can't stand it... But I wouldn't say it's a fear. Why do you have a fear of them?

if you google about fear of heat it's like also coming under just avoiding it completely wherever possible and doing whatever you can to make yourself always cold too. which is basically what I do cause I overheat even in cold temperatures ridiculously easily.

for fear of sunlight I think it's sorta like i'm afraid of it just literally because I don't like the feel of it, nor the fact it gives me freckles and numerous other reasons. It also does irritate my eyes massively though which again is the technical definition of photophobia anyway.

main phobia is the fear of dogs. my god they could make my heart stop. I am scared of spiders but only the big hairy ones.

I wouldn't say I have a phobia of anything. Yeah a few things freak me out like i'm not keep on heights but I wouldn't mind it.

This thread is full of so called 'phobias' when they're not, when I went to Scarborough last month I had a long conversation about phobias and irrational fears for some reason and it really made me think about them differently.

Those who have a phobia of heights - if you're on the edge of a cliff you have the rational fear you're going to fall most probably therefore it isn't really a phobia if we all react the same in the given scenario.
I used to believe I had a phobia of death, when in reality I think more people have the fear of how they're going to die, thus the phobias will have their own name.

I have no phobias, but only fears, I'm not scared of spiders, although I am a little about them crawling into my mouth through the night and cutting me off from breathing - so I do still have that fear of death that most will have, it doesn't make it a phobia as I believe I'd die that way which scares me, the same way as I fear of drowning, burning alive, being shot, stabbed or having a disease.

I swear this thread was made not too long back either, so simple searching could have just added to the previous one.
@Skandair; you're the main example of this, you do not have a phobia of spoons, you are scared of what they'll do to you, not the actual spoons themselves therefore it's a fear.

Sorry for going on, but that's the reason some of your long lists aren't - those who said kissing others because they think something will go wrong is a fear too .

i wouldnt agree with you on the fear one, sure some may be completely normal ones, but if you are feeling utterly sick just from standing at an edge that you can't even fall off cause of barring etc and it's not even high at all I think you could pretty safely call it a fear of heights tbh.

Definitely agree though phobia of spoons is ridiculous lmao. I think most of us did claim however though that like the kissing stuff was just fears for us
