Fear of fish is suprisingly common actually, or so im told, its because ppl dont actually recognise it as so called 'fear'.

Having a fear of fish meanst that i defineatly cant eat them cos they make me sick. not physically sick but mentall. I cant go near the fish counter in the shops other wise i freak out. I cant go swimming in the sea or somtimes in public pools cos it somtimes frightens me.

[Kate..]

omg that must be really hard, and remy i've never heard of being scared of holes in the street but it makes a lot of sence

[Arneldo]

I hate the dark. Well, being alone in the dark.

[Sod_James]

Yeh it can be hard but iv learned to live with it. I suppose it doesnt help i work in a supermarket and i somtimes have to put fish through my till lol.

[Kate..]

uh oh, so do u mind like fish in a tank?

[Shaun]

It's not so much of a phobia...but I hate rock climbing. I always see myself falling/losing balance. This applies to anything by a cliff/etc.

[Sod_James]

OMG no i cant stand that either lol. but as long as im a fair distance away from the tank then im. i get nervous if i see them but as long as im not that close than its ok.

My sister bought two goldfish once and i NEVER went in her room cos they scared me lol.

[XxShortyxX]

People on Stilts, I can't be near anyone on Stilts it really scares me lol give me spiders, heights anyday, but that lol.

Having a phobia of fish is rather common. My friend is completely freaked out by them. She can't go near them in the supermarket. She cannot watch the links dry advert with the man with the fish uder his armpits lol. She says it's the scales and eyes. She also has a phobia of pigeons.

I don't think I have any real phobias. I suppose really big spiders freak me out.

She doesn't like birds' eyes as well because of they resemble fish eyes.

Small Enclosed Spaces(Calustrophibia)
Dark
The Mirror

[Kate..]

lol conor u can't enter NTM and be scared of a mirror

[Retroman]

I think phobia's a strong word, I often get the feeling people throw it around when they're just a little scared of something...

Having a panic attack when you see a spider, or crying yourself to sleep if someone insisted you sleep in the dark etc would be more accurate.

Not just "Oh I don't like this, it's a little frightening."

What I suffer from:

Anuptaphobia - Fear of being single, especially when im older.
Gerascophobia- Fear of growing old.
Necrophobia - Slight case of it.

Random Phobia's:

Atomosophobia - Fear of atomic explosions, lol..I just put that in for comedy purposes, as im willing to bet everyone has a phobia of those. Although in all seriousness, it probably applies to people who are paranoid that there will be an atomic explosion.

Barophobia - Fear of gravity, must be pretty hard to deal with >_< as well as Cathisophobia- Fear of sitting and Heliophobia- Fear of the sun..

Not to mention Cyberphobia- Fear of computers or working on a computer, wouldn't go down too well with a few people here.

One that Sunshine30 wouldn't like to have:

Gallophobia or Galiophobia- Fear France or French culture. (Francophobia)

One that I wouldn't like to have:

Genophobia- Fear of sex.

Comedy Phobia:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.

Doesn't Jade Goody have a phobia of tomato ketchup?

[\PJ/]

I have a fear of drinking water out of somebody else's tap and when I enter a room a put my sleeve over my hand so I don't touch the handle.
