Phobias!

[Describe]

I was thinking about the huge list of weird and wonderful phobias out there while aimlessly surfing the internet and it occured to me that I only know three people with a phobia; my sister, my best friend and another friend.

My sister suffers from Bananaphobia which has always been a great laugh growing up. My best friend, Chris (Gnome) suffers from a baked bean phobia which is called Leguminophobia which, at the time, was hilarious and my other friend Jenna can't stand clowns which actually, is very common.

I thought I'd post so you lot could share your phobias, go on!

Weelllll I have emetophobia, started when I was 12/13. It's when you're scared of vomiting basically lol, I mean actually scared of it. For me it's when I see/hear someone being sick I get really freaked out and panicky. I even get shakey if someone only SAYS they feel sick, I always have to sit next to a door e.g out for a meal for quick escape just in case oh well, I hear it's really common although I've never met anyone else with it.

correction, Jenna is scared of anyone or thing dressed up.

I'm not scared of beans : <

Arachnophobia. I'm sure I have it. When I was a toddler I had a spider in my hand and gave it to my Mum and she went ape**** so I think I've got it 'cos of that. It's so stupid 'cos I know they can't do me any harm, I just get really agitated if I know there's one near me.

Because you had a spider in your hand, gave it to your mum and she went mental you've got arachnophobia? It doesn't make sense.

yes, it does. if you see someone freak out over something when you're younger you'll not know any better and think it's something that's scary and should be avoided, it's not like you can really form your own opinions and it can carry on throughout childhood and when you're old, it's the same with a lot of phobias actually.

Oh, I get it. I didn't understand what he was saying. Right, so, if you give someone a spider and they freak out at a younger age you sorta learn from their fear and adopt the fear yourself? Weird.
