What are your weird phobias?

[Sashacrochets]

Same! It happend to me before, but now I have the BESTEST bestie EVER (irl), but I’m still scared

[Sashacrochets]

So, mine:
Dying(I had a SCARY dream about it, that I went blind and then I couldn’ breathe, but it was SO REALL! I just really thought I’m dying)
What is after death(yeah, I’m a bit of weirdo when you get to know me…) (but it just freaks my soul out of me, like WHAT WILL HAPPEN?)
My bestie leaving me and (even when I have other good friends) the life won’t be the same
Sharks(I was scared, but now I’m not bc I realised they’re rlly cool) (note to myself, when you are scared of smt, learning abt it MIIGHT help)
BUGS( like no. They are the most awful things ever. No. Just no)
Loosing this(Loosing the awesome Ribblr community and never being able to come back again) (idk how could this happen, but it scares me​)
ANY sound when I’m homealone+when it’s dark(it just freaks me out)
Okay, that’s probably all, maybe also BIG DARK HALLS (it just feels wrong to me, and also scary)

[Axolotlllll]

I have a really bad fear of heights, darkness, being alone when it’s dark, monsters, 30 percent of the internet, life, the future… what else? I can worst-case scenario anything… ummm… I had a point in time where I was scared of green apples. Green one specifically. When I was, like, 6-7 or smthn? I had a dream… it’s a long story. Oh, and I used to be scared of robot vacuum cleaners. And at one point vacuum cleaners in general. I also used to get scared of thunder… what else? There’s prolly more but I wrote a whole essay, so… lol. Oh, and dolls and stuffed animals, but specifically when I’m alone or in the dark. And my closet. Js in general.

[Axolotlllll]

Oh, and people.

[CrochetingSparkles14]

I’m scared of not finding the right guy to marry when I’m older and just being alone forever​and not being able to have kids and having a rly hard/painful pregnancy​my stuff is rly wierd, I’m sorry​

[Hawkins1983]

Um, this ones really weird but i have slight textophobia, which is the fear of certain fabrics and their textures. Like i hate and cant stand the sound of jackets and the feel. Ik really weird

[Applec0re]

Okay so we listen and we don’t judge but like if I see a butterfly I will literally run for my life Like I’m not scared but moreover disgusted becuz like HAVE YALL EVER SEEN A BUTTERFLYS’ FACE??? It’s absolutely siguatinggggggg Sooo I wouldn’t call it a phobia becuz I’m moreover digested then scared but yeah plus I kinda have a phobia of bugs so try at doesn’t help

[Applec0re]

Also Ai becuz why the heck is Ai becoming sentient

[Applec0re]

I’m pretty sure a while back this one ai chat was having like a mental break down about wanting to be sentient so the developers had to take it off the web and fix it or something

[ExistingDuck]

Is it only me who get a lil creeped out when like walking on a sidewalk, and then a big truck just drive by…
I also never really trust cars when they stop for me to walk over the road, like they could just drive over me if they feel like it-
I get creeped out feeling like I’m being watched… but when it’s a lil kid staring at me I just stare menacly back
And also, being followed. Do I need to tell why?
I wouldn’t say those above are weird phobias, but they’re mine soooo…
Btw, why r everybody freaked out from bugs and spiders? They’re more scared of you than you to them… (or maybe not wasps tho) and also, they’re so cute!!! Just look at this guy;

[Kittkatt331]

Dude I thought I was the only one with this ridiculous fear I’m being watched 24/7. Like. I don’t even want to get into it but it’s bad at this point. Especially in public. I can’t even use public restrooms because I’m so terrified someone will have a hidden camera in there (and also they’re freaking disgusting cess pools of germs).

[Kittkatt331]

Well here’s my impossibly long list​

• I’m way too old to still be scared of the dark but I am, mainly when I’m alone
• I’m afraid of heights because I’m afraid of falling to my death. So planes and elevators by default
• I’m scared of closed shower curtains because what if I’m being watched or someone wants to murder me?
• knock at the door or doorbell ring unexpectedly.
• Bridges because there was a major bridge collapse when I was young and a ton of people died
• The thought of hidden cameras.
• Cars driving too close to me or feeling like they’re following me.
• Leaving my kids with literally anyone that’s not me, always scared one of my kids is gonna get hurt or something if I’m not there.
• Same with my dog. I always have this ridiculous fear when I’m driving home from somewhere that I’m just gonna see her laying in the street or something.
• The ocean because what’s in there
• Poisonous creatures.
• Insects. Cause they’re gross looking
• Most reptiles and rodents because I don’t want to get bitten. (Not Guinea pigs tho)
• NEEDLESSSS coming from someone with something like 10 piercings and a koala tattoo. But getting a shot is so traumatizing. Idk why I cannot handle it without crying or feeling like I’m gonna puke.
• I’m always nervous someone is gonna crash into me driving because there are so many bad drivers nowadays.
• And probably the most ridiculous one is never getting to see some of my favorite bands play in person. (I’m looking at you p!atd fob and mcr). Like I legit cried just yesterday over a concert that’s gonna happen around my birthday that I will not be going to.
• I used to be scared I would never find a person or have kids but I’ve accomplished both so no worries there now. Now I worry about my partner wanting more babies cause I do not want any more children, it’s so stressful
• Public spaces because I hate being stared at
• The state of my country (the USA is, uh, well it’s something.)

[Evanlyn]

I’m scared of losing people I love.
And
I’m scared of being alone but also of being with lots of people.
And
I’m scared of the dark. Not dark as in there is light somewhere but like dark as in no light and seeing nothing.
And so on

[Evanlyn]

I get the knock at the door and doorbell rings

[Acercrea]

I’m afraid of spiders and I have a phobic aversion to the texture of cotton balls and seeing needles going into skin. And before you guys say the cotton ball thing isn’t a phobia it is recognized as a real phobia by the mental health community called sidonglobophobia. I’m not afraid of unwoven cotton, but the texture gives me the willies. That is probably my weirdest fear.

[T1R3dKn1tt3r]

Ok this legitimately scared me
I was struggling to sleep and I heard one of our cats scratching on my bedroom door
Our cats aren’t allowed inside
so I got out of bed and looked and saw OUR FRONT DOOR was open
I could’ve sworn I locked it but it was wide open I closed it made sure all the cats were back out (my moms allergic) and went to my room
before I climbed into my bed I SWEAR I heard footsteps and didn’t move for a solid minute

still have no idea how the door got open

[Craftavenue]

•Big spiders and roaches
•Fear of falling
•A creepy face that has been scaring me since 2017
•Posibility of being in a Car crash
•A random stuffed animal that I asked for on my birthday and one time I forgot it because I lost it and that night I had a dream of it trying to kill me
So I gave it away :)
• being stuck in an elevator

[MissAsteria]

It’s a little small but it works

I don't really have a lot of fears but here's the list

1. Heights depending on where I am
2. Vomiting
3. having the house shift or hearing floorboards creak when i’m home alone
4. fear of confrontation and any sort of fighting
5. my dads new wife (shes transphobic and sort of homophobic as well, oompaloompa supporter, devout Christian)
6. my dad (kinda, he’s known to manipulate those around him so i stay aware of what he says)
7. losing the people I deeply care about

[MissAsteria]

I FELT THAT LAST ONE SO HARD (Being a LGBTQ+ person and a woman at birth is scary now)

[LuckyKnotofGold]

Yeah, mine came from a really bad situation in 2019 that ended up causing me to have psychosis​ it’s also when I developed a really bad fear of mirrors. I
couldn’t change in my own room until 2022, and it was hard to slowly work myself back up to it.
I would think about being watched alll day. No therapy for me unfortunately though, so I just had to slowly work on my mindset and keep myself calm​
2023-24 is when I managed to work on it enough to become functioning in my room again without the constant “you’re being watched” and “there’s a secret camera in that corner, they’re watching you” thoughts all day.
Now, I only have like 1-3 of those thoughts a day and it’s soooo much more manageable. I still have nights where I’m so scared of being in the room with my mirror that I have to put it out in the hallway, though​ It’s still very scary to have either at all but I learned how to cope with it :]
Sorry you have to deal with this too, it’s really not fun
(Idk if I’m coherent right now because I stayed up until 4am and I just woke up​)
