Bizarre Phobias

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

i think you guys are all douche bags just get over your fear

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?

hi... again.. i forgot to say that i also have a fear of hearing the sound of markers on paper.. and i mean any kind of markers... even the colouring ones that kids use. And the thing is i don't hate or even dislike the sound of other things on paper like pencils or pens or whatever. When the tip of the marker screeches on the paper, i grit my teeth and arrghhh. i almost hit my neice when she started screeching loudly in the room while colouring a color book... and she's 6 years old.. can anybody also tell me the scientific name for this phobia aswell?

Is there a name/word for the fear of boxes?

I have a fear of ripping nails. Like when in horror movies people are dragged across floors and their nails start shredding. I have to hold mine in place really tight because I'm afriad their going to get ripped off

I also have a fear of losing/cracking/shattering teeth. I have dreams where I lose my teeth sometimes, or my teeth will shatter and I'll start crying.

What are those called?

I am 15 years old and i have a little problem.

I have a fear of touching wet things like wet rags or sponges or if they have been used and i know it or it looks like it. I can touch wet clothing and other things its just them and i am not afraid of getting dirty can any one tell me why or tell me the name of this phobia.

I have a fear of my own belly button. i dont like it to be touched at all. Just thinking about it makes me feel nervous and uncomfortable.

OMG I cannot believe that I found this! Many of those things bother me too! Except one thing that I escpecially hate is dry hands! And lucky me it runs in the family. So i am obsessed with lotion. i have to have it everywhere i go. I really hate it when people with dry hands scrath their hands. i get goosebups everywhere. I also hate lots of the noises that dry things make. I dont know why im like this but i think its really funny that there are other ppl who have the same issues too. I dont like the feeling of dry crayons either. It isnt as serious as other peoples cuz i dont blank out or anything. if i have to use it then i just grin and berrit.

I have a fear of tape. Well actually adhesive. I can't stand it sticking to me. I need to wash the area of skin that adhesive just touched because it feels like its still sticking to me. I once almost had a panick attack because i had it sticking to me for 2 and a half minutes. I noticed that i didnt like adhesive when i was in 6 or 7 grade. I know this is bizarre

Hi, I have a huge fear of spnal cords. It's wierd because I can go to a chiropractor just fine but the sight of one makes me feel sick immediately. My husband as a joke told me to look at this rotisserie chicken we had just bought and when I looked he had opened it up and showed me it's spine. I freaked out SO BAD, screaming and all. It almost makes me want to be a vegetarian. Also, I had a nightmare about this persons spine sretching out of their back almost as if it was reaching for me. Scariest dream EVER! YUCK!!! Is there a name for this? Thanks.

What is the fear of Cardboard Called? i need to know. cauce i can't go near cardboard and if i do i have to hold my breathe and i hate to touch it. its really weird.

I'm not gay at all but I have a fear of being chased by a group of young women. I'm a 35 year old guy and I should have no problem with this whatsoever. All other guys would probably dream of this happening to them. I have no idea of what brought this fear on but just the mere thought of the girls catching me and having their way with me sends me into a cold sweat. When I am out of the house I am always looking over my shoulder to see when it might happen but I know it probably will never happen. On a couple of times I've walked round a corner and then started sprinting because I think that the group of women might be following me. Once it happened when I was with my girlfriend but I could not tell her what was going on as she would think I was a total nutter. What makes me think like this? Can anyone help me? It's been going on for way to long. It simply has to stop. Also does anyone know the name of this fear? Bert from LA California.

I have a very severe phobia of red-orange hair that is greasy and volatile and touches my hand and fingers and is just so gross. It makes me feel like punching people. What should I do? Also, that stupid girl, has a fear of lotion and Windex. Is this a phobia? Or is she just needing attention? Please help because I feel as if I am soon going to punch her and rip out her hair and put lotion in her eyes. This is a severe phobia and I really want some help. Please, please, please, please. Thank you for your time and I appreciate your response. ^_^

LOTION HATER FOR LIFE

Someone mentioned a fear of the ring and the grudge, which is the exact same as me. a fear of the films the ring, the grudge and the unborn. its quite normal, but even now i feel asif theres something here, therefore i must just go and close my eyes and listen to the rasmus

I have a fear of people touching, blowing in, biting, licking, putting IPod ear buds in, etc. my ears. I know it's weird. I really want to know what the phobia is!!! Please respond!

I am actually glad to see that I am not the only person that is freaked out by wet paper! I can't go into public bathrooms- because I worry that there will be little bits of paper on the floor that are wet and will stick to my shoes. I also freak out if I see someone using a tissue and it gets wet or they lick it with their tounge- so gross! Does anyone know of a name for it? I certianly wouldn't want to be cured though if it means I have to touch it to try to work my way thru it. I am perfectly happy living the rest of my life avoiding it- just would like to know what its called. And to prove to my friends and family that I am not nuts- it does exsist.

i understand the wet hand thing. i can not stand to be touched by wet hands, and i get the nastiest feeling if my feet are dry and then touch water. i really dont know when this started or why but i was wondering if other people had this problem or if any one knew the name of it

I have a terrible fear for my Achilles tendon. I hate being barefoot and I'm always hyper aware of them, it's an awful feeling. Whenever I walk, I'm afraid they're gonna snap (typing that made me have a near panic attack)
When I bump into things or something brushes into them (sometimes when just thinking about it) I start breathing really heavy and my insides become uncomfortably warm.
Some people are aware of this fear and yet they feel the need to GRAB THEM. I freak out and I don't think they quite get that this fear is just as real as the fear of heights or death.
I heard that it's too rare to have a name, is this true?

can anyone tell me the name of the phobia for faces painted white with white face paint. not clowns. she has no problem with clowns. just people with white face paint.

:long: i know this is weird but i am so incredibly terrified of cotton balls being torn or ripped. if i see it or hear that someone has ripped one, i will start gaging and getting weak. at one point this phobia was so bad that i actually avoided the isles in stores that had cotton balls, out of fear that some one would stand right in front of me and continuously tear and rip cotton balls right in front of my face... also i have a fear of pink liquid. like pink lemonade sends fear surging through my body... it's horrible because one time i was at a family event and my aunt handed me a glass of pink lemonade and i didn't know it, simply because it was in a red plastic cup. here i was, a thirty two year old women about to drink the one thing that she was afraid of. as soon i was about to drink it i saw that it was pink and i threw the cup down to the ground and started screaming. my poor aunt, and every one else around me for that manner, jumped with fear... i felt horrible. could someone please tell me what the name of these phobias are?

I have too many phobias! I wish I could just get rid of them. My most common phobia is afraid of being in the dark, especially when I am alone. I literally freak out and scream bloody murder whenever I am.
A weird one may be that I'm terrified of closing my eyes whenever I'm taking a shower..? I'm not afraid to blink or anything, just afraid to close my eyes. I'm always thinking something is in the bathtub with me, staring. It gotten worse ever since I started playing with my ouija board and the things that started to happen. I started to keep my bathroom door open, along with the curtains which wasn't my greatest idea since I've learned my two older twin brothers liked to intrude on me when I was showering, which is both repulsive and disgusting. Plus, I have a phobia of being seen partially, or fully naked. :red:

I have this weird phobia (i think?). I just can
