Right...I thought a phobia was an irrational fear:
an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme and irrational fear of simple things or social situations; "phobic disorder is a general term for all phobias"

Therefore, the fear of bullets, tb, hell, cancer and other stuff isn't exactly irrational. The mole rat is but meh.

I myself kinda have this one: Hypsiphobia- Fear of height.
However, it tends to be across high bridges usually over motorways...



D: when I was in 8th grade this girl threw her boxers at me with period blood all over them. I think that might have been what triggered this.

Okay what.

Either there's something I'm not aware of or something's wrong here.

I'm not afraid of too many things, but one big one is Severe Thunderstorms :(



I'm afraid of one day finding out I'm a schizophrenic and my whole life is a lie.

The solution is to have your head like a turtle for the rest of your life.

I'm afraid of roosterroaches and spiders.
Not so much scared, but I absolutely despise them, and I think that they're going to climb all over me.
I still like spiders outside though.
I'll never read this topic again, you possible bastard who posts a swarm of roosterroaches
