Ok some people say that have like Clausterphobia but I have like the opposite.
I like being in closed up little spaces.
I used to hide in boxes all the time when I was little...

I think that's the funniest and craziest list I've ever seen. That must be hard, coming up with new phobias every time a new one surfaces.

I saw a guy on The Weakest Link with a plant phobia. That must be a tough one.

Acrophobia-fear of heights
Aichmophobia-fear of needles
Apriphobia-fear of bees
Claustrophobia

LOL! Me too. I had this blanket box. It had my dolls clothes in it. I used to hide in it. Until I realized that I wasn't fooling anyone... what with the dolls clothes sprawled out on the floor. Hahaha!

Hmm, phobias. I have a few.

The Wind. Even a breeze puts me on edge.
Wind chimes... of course being associated with the wind.
Whirlpools - Dinophobia.
Slappy - Automatonophobia.
Kreepy Kraulies. (Pool Cleaners)
Ocean - Thalassophobia.
And Infection - Mysophobia.

Fish are my number one fear. I am literally petrified of the dead ones. No kidding. I'll go rigid and start hyperventilating if one gets near me. I have nightmares about them at least 3 times a week.

Other than that, my main ones are: heights, needles, white doctor gloves, public speaking, ghosts and wind.
The thought of losing a limb or a digit in some horrible accident kind of freaks me out too.

I imagine if I was ever anywhere near a big ol' whirlpool I'd be pretty freaked out.

What's slappy?

Speaking of pools, I'm dead scared of people coming at me under the water. I can never play 'shark' because I always forfeit when the person gets too close XD.

haha I love playing Shark...
hehe I am a fast swimmer and can hold my breath for a long time.

When my brother was little he had to wear a life jacket in the pool and my friends and I would always make him it for that game because he could never get us. We just swam under him...

ya what is Slappy?

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a phobia but really loud, sudden noises put me over the edge. That's why I have a deathly fear of balloons: I'm always afraid they're going to pop but I don't know when.

I also have bad fear of knives. I'll use them but sparingly and I'll use a butter knife if it works. After accidentally cutting myself with one, I haven't seen knives the same way.

Weird. I cut myself once and I was like... laughing-ish. Like, 'Ahaha. Look at that blood '.
I was trying to cut some frozen bologna out of the package and the knife slipped and went into my thumb.
