None of mine are particularly pronounced (I can overcome them by effort of will, and the disease ones usually don't come up), but since they're irrational I suppose they count.

Acrophobia- Fear of heights.
Albuminurophobia- Fear of kidney disease. (I didn't even realise this existed, but it's accurate.)
Meningitophobia- Fear of brain disease.
Pathophobia- Fear of disease. (Kind of a source of some of the others, as you can tell)
Pnigophobia or Pnigerophobia- Fear of choking of being smothered.


The odd thing is that I'm not particularly given to disease.  I'm simply very worried about that changing is all...


And I definitely don't have it, but I'm surprised that this one is in there...

Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons.

What, is the person who made that list Flemish or something?  :P

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

I actually had to look up what a Walloon was, it's a romance language spoken by a handful of people in Wallonia, Belgium...

It's a little specific.

Diabetophobia- Fear of diabetes

I really ought to have this, given the family history and all... It also aparently goes hand in hand with blindness.

Well, yes, it is a real phobia. But anyone here who has it would be a sniveling wreck due to Aqizzar.

 :D

Hahaha! Funny lol.

Pachydermophobia.


They're watching us.

Also, since we seem to be sharing, I'm afraid of wasps/bees etc. Buzzing, stinging things.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Really?  Might have something to help you with that . . .
Nah, I won't do it.  It'd make me feel evil.

I use to be scared of clowns, now im more like "Piss Off" than "GET THE F*CK AWAY FROM ME!"
Heights, eh, not really scared unless theres no railing.
I know a lot of people who are scared of lizards, rats, and spiders, I usually just have to pick it up and put it somewhere far away.

^ This, probably my only actual phobia. I also don't like to be touched by insects and certain sea creatures, but its not an actual phobia as in "OMFG, AN ARTHROPOD *dies*", more like "ewwww".

Well, since I made the thread, I might as well let you know I have a phobia about suffocating. I'd rather die in any other way than suffer a drowning or choking death.

It really creeps me out.

Hydrophobia- Fear of water or of rabies.

How the hell are those two related?
