Bizarre Phobias

OMG...me to i have a serious fear of midgets they scare the hell out of me for real! do yall know what the name of that is i check the phobia list an i couldnt find it...so if you can post it and help me out plz...

I dont like wet rags and homosexuals but lesbians are cool

i have a fear of sheets too. i hate the feel of having them surround me and i hate the feel of the cotton. even the sound of cotton sheets rubbing togeather scared me. i also have a fear of intercourse and a huge fear of dark closets. i cant go to sleep witout making sure ever closet in my house is securely shut. i have cats and one of them knows how to open doors and sometimes he figures out how to open up the closet at night. if i wake up and see the closet open i get so afraid that i cant move and im afraid to breathe. i hold a flashlight when i go to bed just so that if it ever happens i can have light. but then when it happens im too afraid even move my finger and turn the switch on. i just cry. any name for that fear?????

the wierdest of my phobias is sticky things. it creeps me out even typing it out.
its like its eternial stick will never release its self from you..
you will never be free from this monster.. feeling and being physically sick when one is in the same room as me.
its hard in school when teachers even in the last year of secondary they give them out to pupils and you say you dont want one and the dreaded question why!?!
replying under my breath being so ashamed of such a stupid and silly little thing even they tease me.
causing me to be so scared even more.. having never met any one the same as me i have no idea what im so scared of ..
have to go out of a room till the class are finished a task
crying .. why am i so different .. panic attacks!
what is wrong with me
i see know many people have phobias that some will never be cured or found out what this is because of, i dont know why mine began
However i do know that its an evil thing which the devil has a grip on your life. if takes controll! you need to demolish this. i am only 15 years old and in these 15 years of being alive i have began to realise the only way out of this trap because thats what it is, is to be saved by jesus!!!!!! pray its not hard

i have a really wierd paper phobia, when someone uses markers or closes a cardboard box or just touches styrophome it gives me the goosebumps and just gives me the willies. i am currently still in school and the phobia really interferes with my school work, so any cure would be great.

ii have a phobia, but ii don't know what iit iis


iim scared a whole bunch of nasty lookiin bumps on peoples bodiies!!!!!!!

iis there anyone who's scared of that??

Hi
I have a fear of puppets, have just been discussing midget phobia with a lady I work with, can't beleive how common it is!

bex

hi... umm... im afraid of stairs... not climbing them, just freaked out that someone is gonna come sneak up on me, and kill me :(. does ANYONE know wat it is called?? thank you!!

does anyone know wat the fear of towel textures is called?? i hate that feeling 😛

Thank you!!

I have a secret fear of saying the word "poo" I havnt even told the closest friend this strange Phobia!
Scratching stones together sends me whappy too lol

Another one is the little round white paper lollypop sticks touching my mouth. it makes me suck my teeth at the thought.


Using sandpaper is horrible for me, its the sound and texture.

Hey, i was reading through this and I share a lot of the same phobias as you. Except mine are sort of the opposite lol. I have to wear socks 24/7 because i freak out when i walk on carpet, or when they rub on my bed spread or sheets. I just hate the feeling and sound.. i cringe at the though. And i can't rub my hands on any fabrics either. I also have a really nervous habit where when i go out to eat i rip all the straw wrappers, and napkin wrappers, and anything paper and put it in a big pile in front of me. its insanee

i have an incredible irritating sensation from fabric, in the teeth and under my fingernails.the thought of biting it freaks me out and if i accidntly scratch it with my fingernails my teeth cringe. somtimes it lasts for hours.

I am not afraid of paper but i get goosebumps whenever i see it or think about it or feel it. I would suggest typing things. I also suggest tablet pcs. they are a computer that you can write on. another thing i found out is that my identical twin has the same thing. its not something that you think is wrong. its how you think.

Ok, ever since I can remember I have had this weird fear of different types of soap. It's not so much the soap really, it's the smell it leaves on my hands/body that really makes me freak out. It started off when I was a small child with diswashing detergent. My parents would make me wash the dishes with the blue Dawn detergent and I would just loose my mind and cry for hours until they finally gave up and would do it theirselves. To this day I cannot even touch the outside of a bottle of diswashing liquid or I feel like having a panic attack. I have to use the square diswasher tablets and wash dishes in the dishwasher. I'm totally normal about the square tablets. I'm also fine with any kind of liquid body wash, shampoos, car wash soap, etc. but am freaked out by bar soap and liquid hand soap. What is wrong with me?!?

I have a phobia of a certain vegetable, even a fear of the name of it. I try to rationalize that many people love it, but if it's near me I cry and the two times in my life I've accidentally touched it, I gagged and nearly threw up. It's one of my husband's favorites, and I've asked him to protect me from it, but he doesn't do a very good job. He's suppose to clean up the kitchen after he has it, but he often misses some and then it's like it's jumping out to terrify me. I can't touch the faucet after he's touched the vegetable and washed his hands. Actually I slightly fear all wet vegetables, but the one is more of a hysteria.

I also don't like apes, chimps, and clowns but can cope with them.

Does anyone know the name of the phobia when you fear seaweed?
I absolutly hate it, puts me off the beach !!!

I am scared of being tickled, but not by a feather. When I was little my big sister and one of my ELDEST aunt's only daughter would tickle me, but not at the same time. I guess that it ended up becomeing a "phobia". Does anyone know what it is called?(not the being tickled by a feather one) When you e-mail me the answer please make the the title "PHOBIA" so that I know it isn't spam. (I have TOO MUCH spam)

achondroplastiphobia is a term for fear of human dwarfs

Hi, My friend has this weird phobia were he just needs to hold the television remote control. Do anyone know what thats called, or have the same fear??? Google was no help.

I absolutely cannot stand napkins and paper towels!! And when they are wet its 10x worse! I cant open my straws at restaurants, my mom opens them and then i blow thru it once to make sure no paper got stuck.. if i ever had paper in my mouth i would committ suicide.. I also am always afraid my legs are gonna break if i stand too long, i cant breathe when i look at midgets, Im afraid of breaking the string under my tongue or getting a paper cut in my eyeball! I hate when teachers erase the chalkboard because what if they accidently scratch the board?!?! I HATE forks scraping on plates.. I hate certain words like napkin, mush, coldcuts.. I hate my life.. help

I have an extreme fear of myself touching my Akilies tendons, and my elbows, let alone other people touching them. Can anyone tell me what this Phobia is called?

I have an extreme fear of my Akilies tendons and elbows being touched, I have to wear altered socks, and I cannot wear shoes that touch them, and I cannot wear long sleeve shirts, and I cannot rest my arms on any kind of rest that touches my elbows. Can any one tell me the names of a fear of Akilies tendons, and elbows?

i'm absolutely terrified and nauseated from wet or crumpled paper , kleenex , paper towel , toilet paper , tissue paper .. i think you get the idea !
it absoloutly disgusts me , i have no idea why hahaha i could cry if someone rubbed like wet toilet paper on me or something

I'm really scared of electricity...I get scared whenever I see the warning sign and power stations and those fenced off areas are really scary...they make me want to run a thousand miles. I'm interested in the science of electricity. I'd just rather stand back, thank you.

I SO KNOW WHAT U MEAN ABOUT STYROFOAM EVERYTIME I SEE IT I FEEL REALLY ILL ..LIKE IM GOING TO THROW UP ... I START TO ROLL MY NECK AND BITE N MY BACK TEETH ITS SO GROSSS I HATE IT

just to let you all no i have a fear of midgets too-they creep me out so bad i wanna run away. i feel awful about it and my friends make fun of me for it but i really cant help it. i apologize to any ppl i'm offending but its a serious thing... :down:

I am absoloutly terified of clusters of dots or holes apparently its a just released phobia called trybophobia, i will scream at the top of my longs if i see them!

I have a fear of dry things! Dry skin, rough carpet, cardboard, gravel, sand, construction paper, etc. etc. Anything that makes me thing of something dry, I start to gag and get chill bumps and want to clench my hands! Ugh! It is absolutely terrible. I have seen it get worse of the last couple of years, I better see a psych soon! I looked it up tonight it is called Xerophobia, fear of dry things.

I have a huge fear of touching paper at all. When I do have to touch it, I have to wear gloves. Then I run to wash my hands, and I have to put on lotion. I know it sounds really weird. I lost my job 1 1/2 ago because of this. It has totally ruined my life.
Does anyone else have this?

I have a fear of soap and making sure it is all rinsed off good or I will be itchy and burning. Even if I think someone else has had contact with soap I think it transfers. I carry a wet washcloth around with me and constantly wipe my hands. It drives me insane. Does anyone else have this sort of phobia?

🐛
I have a similar fear of soap!!!! Read my post on page 7 or 8!

Sorry, it's on page 9!

Thank you for the response on the soap, I appreciate it. Does anyone else have a fear of soap or fear of getting soap on you and not getting it rinsed off? I am even afraid to touch door handles, fear that someone didnt rinse their hands good and it is on there. This is destroying my life and my parents said I wasnt like this as a child. I just wish I could touch it and be okay if its on me without getting rinsed. I take like a 30 min shower. Im afraid stuff I touch will have soap from someone else touching it too.

hello, i have a really bad fear of spines. i can't stand looking at them.
i feel like im going to vomit everytime the word spine is even said, i can't even stand people touching their own spines. i really wanna know what the proper word is for this. can someone please let me know?

I hate finger nails and anything to do with them. I hate getting them ripped backwards and i grit my teeth and a bunch of crap like that to get past the thought of nails.

i have a serious fear of midgets that was fully realized in a walgreens last night.

My 13 year old daughter has anxiety and OCD.
She is afraid of wet laundry, she has to wear gloves to put the stuff from the washer into the dryer. She hates the feel of lotions and creams, a lot of fabrics, tags on her clothes touching her skin and the strangest one is fear of her belly button being touched. She can be in a dead sleep and she will freak out if someone even goes near her belly button.

I myself have OCD and have some pretty weird phobias- First MIDGETS! It's the fact hat I'm an Artist, and midgets are just... deformed... their arms and UH! Second Jeans. I Don't own a single pair. The feel is gross and icky! And the sound when you rub your palm to it! Third High pitched or chalky sounds, like when you scratch cotton shirts or when people have those ringtones adult's cant hear, AUG! Fourth Porcelain Dolls that look real, EW! My girl friend bought me one and I cried, it was very pretty, and had a beautiful dress, but OH HELL NAH! Last is I absolutely cannot dry my hands after I wash them, after doing anything I must wash m hands, but I have to let them dry naturally. Gods! And I'm 15.

What is the fear of foam. I am not as bad as i was when I was younger, seeing as I can take bubble baths with out hypervenalting but I still cant stand a lot of it. I ususaly just use the soap bar. I feel crazy when I think about it, one time my brother chased me around with foam from the dish water, it was horriable.

Hello, I have a really bad phobia of the back of my own head. I hate looking in the mirror at it or even touching it. Sometimes it seems to be talking to me and it bit my finger once. I DID NOT BURN THAT CHURCH.

😊 lol

The dry hands and feet thing. I have it pretty bad.

I hate dry hands and cannot touch my hands together or touch anything else that is dry when my hands are dry. Paper is the worst, especially newspaper or anything really dry feeling. Rough fabrics kill me. I could never fold a piece of paper in half and then run my fingers down the fold.

My feet are just as bad. I cannot rub them on carpet or ever have them be bare. I have to wear socks and I have to keep lotion on them. When my feet start feeling dry in my socks it drives me nuts. Also I cannot touch my feet together! I also walk around with fists when my hands are dry like someone mentioned before until I can get them moist again and build up some sweat.

I would seriously like to have some discussions with people who have this to see similarities. email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). thanks

I have the terrible fear of the word "homework", and I REALLY don't know why! Also, I have Ephebiphobia (fear of teenagers), Graphophobia (fear of writing), Gerascophobia (fear of becoming old), Anthrophobia (fear of people), Dinophobia (fear of whirlpools), Hemophobia (fear of blood), Cibophobia (fear of food), Coprophobia (fear of poop), Hobophobia (fear of bums and beggars), Philophobia (fear of being in love) Pogonophobia (fear of beards), Teratophobia (fear of deformed people), the fear of soap, doorbells, colors, Bulgarians, salt, dancing, singing, and wet cloth. I know it all sounds really weird and unbelievable but I do. Most of this stuff will make me cry or puke or scream, and all of it will set me on edge and give me a ton of goosebumps! Hell, just thinking about it all scares the life out of me. God how I wish people would stop treating this like a joke! If you have any names for the fears that didn't have "phobia" after them, PLEASE tell me!!! :exclaim:

I am Jesse,and I am fourteen years old.
I have a phobia of rubbing my hands together,
or people touching the inside my hands.
People say Im crazy and if they know about it they rub their hands together just to aggervate me.I can't help but cringe and shake when I hear the noise,and my body seems nonresponsive until it stops,I have no idea what the phobia is called or if anyone has the same problem,it would make me feel better if someone did.

I have a fear of touching people, even my family. Like I hate giving hugs and especially holding hands or anyhting affectionate it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Ha its weird because im really friendly its just I dont like the feeling of someone SO CLOSE. Its invading my bubble lol

I'm 16 years old, and I have coulrophobia[[fear of clowns]]
It's not like most people's fear of clowns though, where when they see one they get the creeps.
If I see a clown, I have a panic attack. I scream, cry, shake violently, and sometimes even black out or pass out.
It's horrible. =/

I thought it relieving to read that I was not the only one afraid of midgets. I went to universal studios once and there was one taking tickets. I had to get in the back of another line for fear of it touching me...

i have a this huge thing where after i do the dishes i have to put huge drops of lotion on my hands twice. if my hands get dry i freak. and i have a fear of dying. when i'm around people who are considered dangerous i don't talk to them. and i try not to look at people wrong.

I cannot rub my hands together when they are wet and I cannot touch anything. what is this called?

:) hi.. i have a fear of clipping my nails.. my hands sweat if i touch anything after i clip my nails. i also don't like to touch wool and other stuff like.. it grosses me out. So can anybody tell me what's the scientific name for nail-clipping pfobia?
