Click the link and find the scientific name of what you're afraid of...



Then tell us - we promise not to laugh (at least not in front of you :)
 
I suffer from the dreaded:

Coulrophobia Fear of clowns.



although this one - amused the crap outta me :
Arachibutyrophobia Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
 
I've seen some weird phobias that alot of ppl will laugh at~ like the one fear of spiders with machine guns and so forth~

~but I have alot of phobias myself that I'm now getting treatment for~

sorry...~ I just dont' think you should laugh at somebody's real phobia of something ~__~ ...

since one of mine is I'm terrified of ppl laughing at me
 
Isolophobia: Fear of solitude, being alone.
Monophobia: Fear of solitude or being alone.

o_O
 
You can put me down for the fear of clowns too. The only thing I could think of that really gives me the heebeejeebees is cockroaches and that was not on there. I am a little claustrophobic. I laughed hysterically at Judeophobia.
What the heck!!

Excuse me. I have to go laugh hysterically at KasumiNiko now.
 
Thanatophobia or Thantophobia : Fear of death or dying.


I just don't want to die. The end.
I can't really think of anything i'm afraid of.
 
I'm afraid of balloons.:eek:

Firebat a fear of scorpions would be arachnophobia, I know it's most often used for a fear of spiders but it covers all arachnids despite what that site says.;)
 
Arachnophobia, but limited to spiders only. I had a scorpion crawl around on my hand, no problem, but can't even look at spiders on pictures.

My worst phobia doesn't seem to have a name though - being scared sh*tless of shipwrecks. The ones under water, sunken ones...not the actual process of sinking.
 
Couldn't find a name for what I got?And that is extra terrifying to me!

I am afraid of Phobia's themselves,?more to the point I am afraid to develop one. As it stands all the things which scare me somewhat also intrigue me which stops them from being labeled as Phobia!

I call this new phobia...the fearusdevelopus phobia
 
I have alot of phobias, way to many to find the names for it..clowns,pickles,germs,other peoples blood, butterflies, people touching my hands, sick people ( i have an auto immune disease, when i get sick my kidneys mess up) light bulbs, batteries, changing light bulbs or batteries, being around batteries, eating batteries in my sleep,dust,toilets,toilet clowns(dont ask), dirty dishes,anything dirty, small spiders, hairless animals, buffalo's , yellow,turning off my cellphone, computer, tv ect, fire, lighter fluid, lighters, hairspray, sore throats, feet,people coming in my room while im asleep,elevators, escelators( ? ) ...arg im just a mess >.<

I am deeply, fiercely afraid of bees. I was stung by 250 yellowjackets when I was five. I stepped in an underground nest, they swarmed, i fell to the ground.

I cannot sit down when one is flying near me, nor can i watch bees on tv, or comfortably look at pictures of bees. One time I felt something up my sleeve, rolled it up, saw a hornet and reflexively threw my expensive camera on the ground while flinging my arm around trying to get it off!

Oh god. I'm terrified of bees too. My experience wasn't nearly as traumatic at you but I blame it on two things:

-My brother being stung and running around scream/flailing his arms/getting caught up in the washing line when I was about 7 and my mum panicking horribly and yelling at him for poking it. :rolleyes:
-My other brother dropping a bee in my sisters mouth when she was little, he was sooo lucky it just buzzed out again but I wanted to cry. My brother is pure evil but was worse when he was younger.
