Gerontophobia- fear of old people
Arachnophobia- fear of spiders
Emetophobia- fear of vomiting
Nyctohylophobia- fear of dark wooded areas or of forests at night
Or maybe I'm just a hypochondriac ;)
So, do you have any unusual irrational fears or anxieties?
Answer:
Humans have only two natural fears, fear of falling or the fear of loud noises, these are natural instincts that you are born with the rest are all taught/learned.
fear of having a bath with toilet paper in the water
Fear of baked beans! I can't stand them - the sight of them or the smell of them!!
i have a social phobia-i hate being around other people, i fear peoples judgements of me.
I have one... not even sure if there is a name for it or not... but I will NOT touch a steak knife with a wooden handle. The texture totally freaks me out.
I think i am generally scared of everything, so dont feel bad. I have horrible panic dissorder and anyhting can scare me. mostly im scared of being poisoned or killed

Here ya go:
Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media.
im scared of being in dark water at night
There is another one most people leave out or forget. It is Roadtestophobia. It is the fear of the guy who gives you your road test so you can get your driver's license.
I'm afraid of hair when it's not attached to people's heads.
I don't like walking on grass. I don't know what you would call it.
Cardboard - regular brown uncoated cardboard - like empty toilet paper rolls - can't even touch them without serious cringeing. If it's coated I am fine. I always get blamed at work for not changing the toilet paper when it's empty - I just can't touch the empty cardboard roll... ACK!!
well it's not really all that unusual, but i am so scared of the dark. especially finding spirits in the dark..ugh it creeps me out just writing it down.
and i also agree with the dark water at night thing.
and thunderstorms. ahh scares the **** out of me!
I am terrified of wasps !! I don't know the scientific name for it but I will jump out of a moving car if one comes in the window!! AHHHH!
as a child i used to be morbidly afraid of balloons. Especially when you blow them up then let them fly around the room with the air escaping. Also i feared them bursting. I couldnt be around balloons.
I have mostly overcome my fear now , i can hold them and be around them, i can even let them fly around and i can burst them, but i'd be lying if i said i felt 100% comfortable around them, i still feel a miniscule bit of anxiety.
I remember for a long time I couldn't sit on a toilet seat unless I completely sterilized it, and even then I'd prefer to pee while I was sort of in a crouching position.
Lol. It was really weird.
Social phobia, fear of drowning, relapse and an irrational fear of turning legal (18).
I have a fear of mouldy food. It just scares the crap out of me. Like if I open something and there is some nasty hairy surprise in there, I actually scream sometimes or swear and drop it. Just the way it looks is horrible all green, hairy, lumpy with black things. Ewwwwwww gross lol.
I have anxiety and depression and having been trying an alternative therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique and it has really worked for me and helped me a lot. Since using it I have been feeling a lot better. It's very good at getting rid of all kinds of negative emotions and dealing with all kinds of issues quickly like phobies. It does sound bizarre but does work. Might be something that can help you. If you type in Gerontophobia, Arachnophobia, Emetophobia, Nyctohylophobia etc in the first link emofree.com you should get lots of articles about EFT being used on these.
forgot to put the links sorry.
I don't know if it's a labeled phobia, but I'm sorta afraid of large empty spaces. Well, not really afraid, but freaked out by them.
