I just thought of one that is borderline that I have. I really really really hate large compacted crowds.

in order for something to count as a phobia it has to interfere with daily life one way or another (uhh well that's a p basic criteria but it better categorises into things that are actually phobic)

obv the casual language definition is diff from the actual psychological definition w/e

being judge but that's just social anxiety I guess

I have actual acrophobia
my friends are always like "if you go really high you'll get over it"; they don't seem to understand

I just flinch the forget out when I see a wasp anywhere near me.

phobias are a specific form of anxiety and social phobias are defo valid

Mine don't understand either.

thallasaphobia is an EXTREMELY strong photo of mine (fear of the ocean)

the ocean terrifies me--- i can't even watch Finding Nemo.

i'm oddly unsettled by very small objects
idk how to better explain it. once i had a nightmare where there were a bunch of icicle stalagmites and one was like really really thin and it freaks me out. it also upsets me when i have a jolly rancher and it gets down to a really tiny thin rod and i can feel its diameter with my tongue and it's rly scary :(

So um I'm claustrophobic, and I'm extremely afraid of spiders.

fear of sharp points?

Aichmophobia is the morbid fear of sharp things, such as pencils, needles, knives, or even a pointing finger

Is there a phobia of centipedes and cave crickets? Those are the only two things that cause me to freak.

Fear of growing up and thinking of the terrible future dead ahead.

Like bills, death, a wife, possibly bratty kids, and Jobs. Ugh
