Phobias?

[IronM17 5,734]

I had as a child a really strange phobia. It is called vermiphobia or in english the scare of worms. And in this case, it means both, parasitic worms like tape worms, leeches or roundworms but also non-parasitic worms like earthworms or lugworms. I really don't know why I had this phobia or where it comes from, but I maneged it to handle this scare with the time. I mean, I am a educated gardener, and earthworms are the best friends of every gardener. I will not say the phobia is completelly gone, but I can handle it really well.

Amusement park rides that go upside down. I’m not a fan of hanging upside down .

I used to be afraid of dogs. I had a bad experience with one when I was around 10 I think. I remember the day I lost that phobia too. There was an older dog (I think a cocker spaniel) that was sitting on their bed. I assume them being in such a calm, harmless state made me feel that they’re not all out to chase or bite at me ! Some of them are quite gentle. Many are quite jumpy! I guess my phobia was short lived as I was 12 when that happened.

Im not so sure the extent of my phobia though… like how could I have been apprehensive about dachshunds D: ? (I didn’t have any experience with those ones then). Honestly I probably would’ve gotten over them quickly if my experiences weren’t mostly limited to street or loose dogs.

Acrophobia - Fear of heights 😰 😳

Glossophobia - the fear of public speaking 😰 😢

I don't like crowds but I think that's my anxiety and not a fear. 

I HATE being the center of attention! 😳

Aichmophobia - the intense, irrational fear of sharp or pointed objects. Thanks to @ExplosionMare for reminding me of this one. 

I also worry constantly about letting everyone on MLP Forums down. 😔

I'm not sure if they'd be classed as 'phobias' for me as opposed to just vastly unsettling but Thalassophobia & Submechanophobia come to mind.
