Bumble bees

I know they're cute and don't usually attack people unless provoked, but they still have stingers and whenever I see one buzzing too close to me I get really nervous.

Accidentally putting my phone in the microwave with my food

I have a phobia of vibrating phones somehow.
I can't stand vibrating phones.
When I'm watching anime and there's a vibrating phone on the anime I immediatly have to pause it and calm down sometimes even skipping the whole scene.

Petroleum for some reason. When I was a kid I had nightmares about getting trapped inside an oil tanker and drowning in crude oil. I also couldn't close my eyes in the shower because I though the water could turn to oil at any second.

>>34318190
Cheese. I have an irrational fear for eating cheese.

I can't stand the smell that keys or other metal objects leave on your hand. If I have the option I grab them with my shirt or a glove, but when I have to touch them like when I drive, I immediately wash my hands at the soonest point possible.

medium/large fish tanks, big fish themselves, and deep water like big pools, lakes etc etc and especially the ocean.

it's so odd how i can't walk through the dark, glowy section in pet stores where they have all the tanks stacked together, like the lighting and fish make me feel terrified, i even have nightmares of walking through particularly scary fish departments. and the bigger the fish tank, bigger the fish, the scarier it is, although sometimes my phobia magically goes away, like in cute salt water fish stores..

I know this feel. I'm not so much scared of it as I am unnecessarily annoyed by it.
When my neighbors did it back home especially. They were Italian, so they would slam their doors HARD and then talk really loudly. And they usually had a bunch of people in their cars, so once I heard the first door and the first shout, I knew it would be going on for a while.
Also this kind of stuff makes my dog go crazy so I have to sit through a few minutes of her barking like crazy.

Also stinkbugs. I am scared of them because I am extremely disgusted by them. I know they can't hurt me, but I hate most bugs in the first place and can't stand being near them. These fucks are especially scary and disgusting because their buzzing is very loud, and their flight patterns are erratic and random. If I suddenly see one on the wall I leave the room until someone kills it, because I know they'll jump off any minute and fly at an alarming velocity around the room, eventually colliding with me and making me freak the fuck out. I literally get horrible anxiety when this happens. Where I live about a year or two ago they were fucking EVERYWHERE. You literally could not enter a room and not find at least one on a wall or ceiling. It was literally hell and my family makes fun of me to this day of my fear of these digusting fucking things.
FFS even spiders disgust me less.

Fear of elevators. Just being in one or around one with open doors.

I used to be scared of needles too, but I learned that getting a shot isn't as bad if you let your arm go completely limp first. If your muscles are tense it hurts more.

I also feel calmer when I look directly at the needle before it goes in, although I'm not sure if this works for everyone. I'd rather see it coming.

>fear of the dark... kinda
>fear of the unknown
if I turn off the lights and can't see at least 05% of the room I curl up into a ball, shake around a lot and start having this banging feeling in my chest. Only time I ever feel afraid, also... ironically it's not the darkness that I fear but what could be hiding within it.

please don't judge me...

submechanophobia

but not just submerged machines, also submerged trees still standing up underwater. Also thalassophobia, but more of deep water.

Do you mean Mayflies? Cause I know what you're talking about and to some extent, have the same feeling.

Also, spiders and bees, but only kinda. Like if the bees are around in my yard, I'll watch them and same with the spiders, but if they get too close, I freak out.

I one time woke up with a silverfish on my arm. And I've had stinkbugs fly into me on multiple occasions. I spare no mercy for bugs.

For some reason whenever there is a full moon and I look at it I get scared.

At least spiders don't fly. The ones that you usually find in your house where I live in PA aren't very big either, so that's probably why I'm not very scared of them.
If I lived in Australia then it would be a different story.

one of my childhood fears was a computer or TV that was left on overnight catching on fire while I was asleep. even though I was too afraid of the dark to not have the TV on

the sound of styrofoam scraping drives me insane

my mom used to have these two crafted glasses that were similar and hearing them scratch against each other did the same thing to my head.

When women collect into large groups and make high pitched squeals followed by "oh my god i missed you so much" or "oh my god youre so pretty yasssss you too" and do lots of hugging and cheek kissing and gossiping.

I also hate it when large amounts of women make noises like cheering and screaming.

kek, I got over my emetophobia by deluding myself into thinking I have an iron stomach.

I developed a fear of rain after I lived one year in an apartment with severe water leaks.

Now even though I have my own house (which I also modificated after purchase so it would be 100% waterproof) I still check for water leaking signs in certain spots when It's raining.

I literally cannot enjoy rain anymore.

>tfw have the opposite of claustrophobia
I get nervous when I'm in a wide open area. Is there a name for this?

Misophonia, specifically - eating sounds. Loud chewing, loud gulping, chewing with mouth open, finishing the end of the soda while drinking with a straw, that sound the air makes when you try to get the last drops.

I get a mix of disgust and sheer anger.

I hate myself for it. It makes my life such a pain.

Sometimes also other repetitive sounds that people make, like if someone has a cold and instead of just blowing their nose they will just sniffle every 10-15 seconds.

The fucking sea. Whenever I go to a beach or something I just feel so nervous going too deep. Happens the same when I'm playing vidya and there's a level underwater or water-related.

I'm constantly terrified that I left my front door open

it's almost compulsory for me to check the front door several times

Most of the irrational phobias in this thread can easily be fixed by just exposing yourself to what you fear until it doesn't bother you anymore.

This is actually a real normie thread.

Reeeeee

I absolutely fear deep water, like oceans or seas, even when the water is above my waist i feel really uneasy. Also when there is a big rock underwater with lots of seaweed around it, or anything else underwater,

recently had a nightmare where i was stuck beside a ship`s propeller, and the ship started to decend into the water.

I`m also terrified of sea creatures like lobsters, crabs, homars, things like isopods, and also fish when the head is attached, they just seem so unnatural that once i almost fainted.

I love heights though, flying on a plane or being somewhere really high up is really calming for me. I often see in my dreams that i can fly myself and it feels so awesome.

I have one
I call it the Irrational Bathroom Fear
Basically sometimes when I'm shitting I fear that I'm actually not conciously in the bathroom and I'm actually shitting in public somewhere which would be horridly embarrasing
