[quote name="Rivertyl" date="2020-05-17 21:48:42" ] Situational arachnophobia, I'm fine with the liddle teeny weeny spiders, and those jumping spiders with the big head/eyes. I'm absolutely terrified of the daddy longlegs or the ones with big butts, lol Don't know what it's called but I'm also afraid of seeing giant house centipedes roaming around in my house. The baby ones are okay though. Millipedes are totally cool. Nyctophobia is also sorta a thing for me, haha. Well, I'm fine if it's dark in my room or just walking outside, but I still have this childhood fear of a dark basement. [/quote] Oh my GOD. What is it with cellar spiders/harvestmen?? Literally any other spider is fine and even cute, but harvestmen and cellar spiders just freak me out for some reason. Maybe it’s their proportions or something. Agghhhhhh I never kill them though, because they’ve evolved alongside us for a long time and they eat a lot of pests. But I still get majorly freaked out when I try to catch them in a jar to release elsewhere.

I can't stand fire bells, fire, and smoke because of trauma. school sucked. and I'm looking to go back as a ta hahahahaha....

pretty much any large insect. I think it's because a housefly kept flying above my crib as a baby and scaring the bejeebus out of me. I can honestly still remember it, and when my grandmother came and so gracefully saved me. my twin does too, so I know I'm not making it up.

Its gotta be Arachnophobia for me! Except I love big fluffy tarantulas! They are so cuuuuuuute. Its the tiny spiders that get me scared...

I'm the complete oposite of my friends because:

I like small spaces (not clostraphobic) and I don't mind hights

I'm scared of most bugs. Specifically, I'm scared of being touched by bugs - I hate the feeling of their crunchy little feet scurrying on me. I can usually ignore them as long as they don't get too close to me. Cockroaches are the exception, though. I get panic attacks any time I see them or even think about them too hard. I'm a bit claustrophobic as well.

arachnophobia (those arachnids could burn in a DITCH for all I care)
-Got it from reading on how they go into the world and reproduce Uuughh...
Athazagoraphobia
-fear of being left behind/forgotten. (caused by personal problems)
Basophobia
-fear of falling. There is a difference between being scared of heights and falling.
Although I would love to go skydiving one day tho. T v T

I’m super afraid of drowning. I wouldn’t call it a phobia, since that implies an irrational, persistent fear, but whenever I’m in a large body of water (like a pool or a lake) my anxiety tends to peak. :p
