    Not technically a phobia, but I have social anxiety, so anything where I have to talk or spend lots of time in public practically paralyses me. I'm scared of a few other small things that aren't really worth mentioning.

    I also have glossaphobia (which is the fear of public speaking), so in short, I'm a wreck. :grin:

    I have a fear of cans. Like, soda cans. Yeah...
    I suppose fear isn't really the right word, it's more of anxiety around them. They make me feel, I dunno, gross and nervous. I've only met one other guy with this weird type of anxiety-phobia but for him it was cotton balls.

    Well, now you've met 2. :icon_wink I actually have the same type of anxiety-phobia. No, honestly, I do. I don't know why though.

    Bees and wasps. And the sound of sandpaper scraping against something makes me feel really funny. Cant stand it.

    IV's - not needles really, just that once I had to get stuck three times because I was too dehydrated and they couldn't draw blood

    Puking

    Bees and bugs

    Heights when I'm not strapped into a harness

    And I have anxiety/panic attacks with weird triggers like risers, my schools chorus room, and the sound of fireworks (I mean they all have reasoning, but when I list them they sound ridiculous)

    I have a fear of bees and wasps, but I've gotten that under control the last few years. I used to dart whenever I so much as heard one.

    For some reason I have this odd fear of failure, like, I really don't like to fail at things.

    Let's see. I'm scared of...

    1. Being tied up or bound (this one is so bad that if someone stronger than me is holding my hands behind my back or something like that, I will start to flip out and panic)
    2. Isolation (vague, but it depends on the situation)
    3. Medical/hospital gore
    and finally.... 4. Clowns

    I am incredibly afraid of the dark.... However, it varies depending on where I am, if I'm with someone and whom that person is if I am, inside or outside, etc..

    And I have social anxiety, so situations regarding that make me freak out.

    I used to be SO scared of the dark. It was so bad that I didn't like to close my eyes to go to sleep or be blindfolded or anything. It continued well into high school when I decided that I would just start walking into dark places and I guess I learned that I was okay. I still get a little anxious in really dark places especially by myself.

    Escalators. Spawned from a series of severe night-terrors I had when I was younger. Experiencing death by moving stairs night after night was more than enough to put me off those babies. Besides, now I have rocking thighs. :grin:

    I've also got glossaphobia in my bag, which I hear is apparently quite common. It goes beyond just speaking though, for me. The very idea of people's eyes on me can get me into a right fit. :slight_smile:

    Here I thought it was only me. :wink:

    I don't have any full-on phobias, but spiders and I are far from friends.

    Needles especially, but anything to do with blood/injury/injection/incisions.
