Weird fears?

[Here No Longer 5,290]

Well I didn't think about this when I first posted, but I do have a fear of unfamiliar surroundings and people... So...

[TBD 17,276]

I have some few fears but not as weird as this..i think.

People sharing loving attraction. I can't stand people kissing or sex in general. That's why I avoid movies/shows with lovemaking scenes.

Does nyctophobia count as a "weird fear"? Because if I am in a very, very dark place IRL (night-time isn't as bad...), well... Let's just say that my condition is quite bad. 

[Lulaypp 2,558]

I don't know how wierd is it, but I have this slight fear of joining a fandom/being a fan of things, if it makes sense.

[Midnight Solace 5,135]

I'm scared of talking to ponies/ people face to face. Even being around them freaks me out.

[Celtore 2,770]

It's not really a constantly present fear, but sometimes when I'm looking through my telescope at night, I wonder what else is out there. Is there intelligent life out there somewhere in space, and if we encountered it, would it be hostile? Or worse, could there be a world devouring monster out there somewhere hidden in the deepest reaches of space like Galactus?

The rest of my fears are fairly mundane.

I used to be scared of escalators.

[Rainbow Dash 1,473]

I get real scared when bugs crawl are anywhere on me that isnt my hands. I can hold a Tarantula or Scorpion just fine. As soon as they crawl on my arms, im ready to roll up in the fetal position and cry.

I have a weird one of being up on step ladders or a few feet off the ground.   Now it comes to big heights,  I have no problems! 

[Earl Grey Ghost 447]

We have had a lot of different threads about fears, and I can't contribute to any of them. I don't really fear anything. The closest thing would be, I guess heights? But that's only if I'm on unstable ground. If I'm on stable ground, I don't fear falling, therefore I don't fear the height. I'm a bit nervous about flying, but not against it. So that's not really a fear. Most people fear losing their loved ones, so I guess that's my pick. But it's not something I constantly stress over, it's just not a nice thought. So. yeah there you go.

I don't know anyone IRL who has weird fears, although I did discover there is apparently a fear of long words and a fear of holes, which is pretty weird imo.

[Lucky Bolt 35,266]

Spiders, wasps, most beetles, the dark, and enclosed spaces. I guess those are pretty normal fears compared to some of the ones on here. 

[Galaxical Phoenix 68]

There was a YouTuber I watched for a bit that was scared of dead bugs

Not living ones, just dead ones

 

As for myself, 

. . .

I’m actually not sure.

I’m definitely scared of loud noises (although if it’s like a party with loud music I’m usually fine because I more or less expect it) aaaaaaaand I may have atelophobia?

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,619]

I have an unusual fear of naked mole rats.

No, not like Rufus from Kim Possible.

Actual naked mole rats. THOSE THINGS ARE HIDEOUS!

[MangoFoalix 25,063]

Maybe not super weird, but I have somewhat of a fear of being watched sometimes by the unknown.

[Shigaraki 301]

my sister is scared of Elmo... :/

[Shigaraki 301]

also l don't have weird fears

l hardly get scared, like for reals idk what l'm scare of. *thinking* ????

[Doctor Derpy 164]

Car washes. More specifically, those automatic car washes. I literally don't use them because I'm pretty much scared to death of them. Though, It's only when I have to drive through them. I can swap seats with one of my buddies and it's totally fine.

[Narcissus 356]

I'm afraid of animals; all kinds. I don't like them and they don't like me. 

[Lunar Glow 677]

I've always been deathly afraid of ants...it just overwhelms me how they come in uncontrollable packs...all scattered on the floor...

[Clawdeen 26,297]

My unrealistic weird fear is of gravity ceasing to exist and me just falling into the sky. Or I guess that would be floating into the sky. 

[liujiadong 2,998]

I’m totally freaked out when someone knocks on the door. Like, the second I hear that knock, my heart just races!

Well, since I was a little child, I always suffered from a really specific phobia which is called vermiphobia (also known as helminthophobia or scoleciphobia), the fear of worms. It includes both, parasitic and non-parasitic worms. So, it was for me no difference if it is a earthworm, a nematoda (like a round worm), a tapeworm or a leech. When I saw a worm, I flipped out and run away. Rainy days were the horror in my childhood since the ways are full of earthworms (besides the fact that other chidlren made fun of it and came to me while holding earthworms in their hands tp scare me). Well, except for the parasitic ones, it is a totally irrational fear and with the time, I overcome my fear of worms. I mean, I am an educated gardener and the best friend of every gardener is the earthworm. I even watch videos or pictures were worms are in it (like a documantation of parasitic worms from a german speaking youtube biologist), but in my youth, I even could not that. I honestly don't know how this fear began, but it was really heavy. I was also for some kind afraid of snails, but not that hard as for worms.

As a child, I also had another strange fear. I was afraid of the sound of sirens (like when the fire fighters are alarmed). I also don#t know how this arose, but I also overcome with it ... I mean, I was part of the youth firefighters later.
