I suffer from Emetophobia, I am very phobic about being sick, but even more so about people vomiting near me. No idea where it came from or why...but I have always had it, even as a baby I would scream & cry before being sick
Phobias
Everyone has at least one. And as there are questions in the trivia room about some really obscure ones, it got me to thinking, what are yours?
I'm scared of spiders and really enclosed spaces to name two.
It'd be interesting to know if anybody out there has any that are slightly less common

drowning...and going on a boat..also fire
Spiders - they just have too many legs!
Also, I think I may have just developed a phobia of Hairdressers!

Fish - I can't stand thier eyes.
It doesn't matter if their swimming happily in a tank or about to be devoured on a plate. Friends who know this take great plesure in ordering "whitebait" (tiny little fish you eat whole) when its on the menu in restuarants.

i'm afraid of a few things but spiders and horses are the only ones i will admit. I'm okay with heights as long as i have something to hold onto
where do i start?
i hate spiders in fact most bugs,they are like ewwwwww.
i dont like being in dark places with a lot of people or lifts,aeroplanes or boats.i am scared of dying and a really weird phobia i have always had,i hate being upside down.

My other phobia is really wierd and i don't know anyone else with it but i can't stand seeeing men shave. It makes me physically sick. It doesn't matter whether its with a open blade razor or a nice safe banded job with safety wires. I have to shut my eyes when the gillette adverts come on to the TV!
All the normal stuff - heights, spiders, water etc don't bother me at all.
Make that 3 of us off these boards with a fish phobia..for me its the scales that really do it I would go see a psychologist, if I wasn't one!

Spiders... eurgh shudders, rocks back and forward with very big eyes. Had to be saved from a 'tarantula' on the wall this weekend (it was very, very large... possibly the size of China... i'm entirely rational when it comes to the evil beasties ). If i end up in a house next time, rather than a couple of flights up and spider-free, the spider thing is going to freak me hugely, and i will need my knight in shiny armour to save me if he's not feeling too lazy.
Spiders probably catch your bees, too

And they are my bees, and i'm not having it. Evil multilegged wee beasties, i declare war on you... from a very safe distance
How can you dislike spiders, they make gravy! Special spider-gravy!
I don't like birds, moths and the scary airplane ride at Blackpool. My biggest phobia is not suitable for family boards
erm biggest phobia is definatly spiders (does that make me less of a man? infact wait dont answer that!! ) erm i also have a fear of birds flying over my head i mean i couldnt care less if theyre on the ground just not flying!
Am I the only person that thinks that wasps are the physical embodiment of pure evil? And proof irrefutable that, if there is a god, then he or she is not benevolent.
Oh, for the record I have a completely rational hatred of spiders, bees, long-legged-flying-things, moths, maggots, anything squishy and wriggly, heights, Chesney Hawks and the aforementioned Evil Alien Race of Wasps (invasion pending).

Did you not see the look on my face when I saw what the song was? No, this is a life-long phobia based on good taste and an over-sensitive stomach.
And here i thought men were all big, brave and butch, and you's all scared of little buggy things!!
Aww, diddums
