Inspiration from the previous thread about being scared of small clusters of holes. What are everyone's phobias.
I've only got one really and it's Styrofoam. I hate the feel of it, the way it squeaks, the look of it (waits for pics) and everything about it. Whenever I have to unpack a box with it in there I have to get someone else to do it and leave the room.
My friends know about it, so they often try and shake it in front of my face and scratch it etc. It's so bad that I'll do anything to make it stop (throw punches etc).
Anyway, anyone got some weird phobias?

worms. think it's from being taught how to hook earthworms for fishing as a kid. had an apartment once where fruit flies or something laid maggots in the carpet like squishy, angry pieces of rice that would sneak up your leg. watched roundworms crawl out of my dog's butt as a kid.
i cannot to this day handle a worm or go anywhere near anything even remotely maggoty

Aquaphobia.
And no, not any water, specifically deep water. I can swim for shit.
It feels like I'm giving it everything I have and I move about a meter or two.
Think specifically, like at beaches which are nice and shallow (yes I'm fine with that) but then there's a sudden deep drop in depth. Scary shit.
I can't even tread water well. I'm fine in boats and stuff though!

Like dozens of cows or horses. Can't go for a nice walk around here without getting chased by those damn things.

i would like to fight a cow and a goose at least once before i die. but not at the same time, that'd be unfair.

Fucking SPIDERS. Can't go near then, can't touch them Looking at them, I get the major heebie-jeebies. One of them gets on me? Forget about it, I flip the fuck out. I jump around waving my arms. Pathetic. Fucking spiders.

I specialised in phobias when doing my doctorate. Each and every phobia is a direct result of a key experience during the first three years of life. The most common phobias are caused by the most common experiences, but the more uncommon ones can generally be attributed to rather unusual experiences, or physiological/ emotional responses to the actions of people during that early period.
Under investigation, the vast proportion of these unusual experiences are eventually attributed to abusive behaviour. About 90% is considered an educated guess as to the amount.
Now then, lets have a look at some of the responses up there.
