The Friendly Book Cave 2020 discussion

Fear is a result of negative emotions. We must practice positive thinking to face things straight on and conquer them.

This topic is where you can discuss what your phobias are.

I have the phobia of travelling and leaving out of my home country.

I fear Fear itself. Fear makes me who I am, considering I am scared of so many things. Losing loved ones, and heights.

I think I have a couple. Mainly, I'm afraid of bugs (giant or medium sized bugs), and having to leave my home for work (I feel like it's a phobia for me).

It is really interesting on what a lot of people are afraid of. Some are afraid of bananas.

Not to mention cotton balls. I know someone who is afraid of them, and K? I wasn't sure why.

Is there a name for a phobia of holes? Like honeycombs and egg cells? * shudder "

I'm actually not scared of anything at the moment but I do know there is a phobia of long words

Phobia of long words:Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
The phobia of holes: trypophobia

Whoa! I totally have that!

Ahahahahahaha

And like, why would they make the word for fear of long words huge?

Irony maybe

Must be

Or its because theta re afraid of long words

Perhaps. That's pretty funny though.😂

I know right

So anything sharp and yellow.

No thats not what that means

Bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets look really similar to each other but that does not mean Shine has a fear of anything yellow

Okay

Why'd you change your post?

I feel ya for the needles thing. I've hated them ever since I was born.

we have belonephobia

Also known as Aichmophobia

(view spoiler)[ Aichmophobia is a kind of specific phobia, the morbid fear of sharp things, such as pencils, needles, knives, a pointing finger, or even the sharp end of an umbrella and different sorts of protruding corners or sharp edges in furnitures and building constructions/materials. It is derived from the Greek aichmē and phobos. This fear may also be referred to as belonephobia or enetophobia. (hide spoiler)]

I had to look it up hahaha

I am not afraid of other sharp objects just needles

I also have the phobia of people killing animals or seeing dead animals in front of me. It really makes me sick and change the colour of my face.

I kinda have a fear of sharp objects but it doesn't stop me

That is one of the reasons I am a vegetarian.

Well, um, I'm a bit afraid of people in general and forming relationships. But, I'm also afraid that when I die, if there is an afterlife, it won't end (which is kind of the point, stick with me). I'll live in a perpetual limbo knowing the next day won't be different, it will be perfect, but boring-I'll spend my eternity in perfect boredom..

I have Autophobia and Athazagoraphobia

I have several phobias snakes, spiders, needles, flying, and for some reason falling? Oh and because I'm an introvert and have Asperger syndrome, social situations can be frighting or hard for me.

I'm scared of big spiders-little ones are okay if they aren't near my bed or aren't running. But they do mostly scare me.

I have Astrophobia, which is the fear of Outerspace.
I hate it! I once broke down to tears in class because she was making us look up pictures of black holes
