Discussion: Phobias and Fears you have or want to conquer

As our weekly theme is phobias and fears I thought I’d make a thread about the phobia’s and fears we want to overcome or just learn to live with.

My arachnophobia had lessened over the years, I am now only scared of a specific kind so that is helpful!

The Ferris Wheel fear went away and came back.

I really want to get over my fear of the dark though.

So how about you?

My fear of needles, or anything sharp piercing into the skin :grimacing:

Well, it’s not exactly a fear but I get squeamish whenever I see it in movies and I never felt like that before!
Thankyou, Stranger things
I think I’m already starting to conquer it but eh :sunglasses:

Also being abandoned it’s not like I have been abandoned before but it’s just the thought of friends or family or my boyfriend not loving and wanting me around and leaving me that kinda scares me a lot

I feel you guys on the abandonment and death anxiety, and those are both fears I’d love to conquer. I get anxious about death sometimes because the thought of just suddenly not existing in this world is just… :cold_face: :grimacing:
And the abandonment, I tend to overthink everything, so any time I feel I’ve said the wrong thing or acted moody and negative, I worry that my loved ones won’t want to be around me anymore. It’s only happened with “friends” that weren’t really my friends to begin with, so that’s probably why I fear that.

To be honest, I don’t really care if I conquer emetophobia because that would mean being exposed to vomit… and, no thanks.

I don’t have phobias. I have certain reasonable fears on adequate levels that are needed to keep yourself alive and well. I think people often throw in the word “phobia” without it being the case.

Spiders. Most aren’t poisonous and humans are much bigger than them but man, I’m terrified.

The only fear I have is emetophobia. I wouldn’t be scared of heights if I didn’t get nauseous when I go up high…

My fear is heights like rollercoaster go upside down. I don’t mind to try a rollercoaster one day but I’m a chicken

Oh, I was like “A topic about Phineas and Ferb!” lol

I don’t have any phobia or strong fear really. I’ve been a bit anxious in the past, but I don’t think it ever counted as a phobia.

I sometimes do fear that I’ve done something wrong and that people think that I’m annoying or useless. Maybe a bit afraid of losing friends. I’ve read something interesting about this which makes me want to comment on the 16 personalities/mbti thread hehe :relaxed:
