The Scariest 20 minutes of my life

I'm not saying everyone who is afraid of commitment faces a fear comparable to those crippled by phobias -- I just think atychiphobia (fear of failure) is more common than, say, melissophobia (fear of bees), and because it's a fear everybody has, people just write it off as NormalFear+, instead of getting the help and diagnosis they need - or get diagnosed under an umbrella, like social anxiety.

Basically fears that aren't tangible.

Also there is no name for fear of no God... which I have... (I probably shouldn't though)

[Lurkily]

Theophobia.  But tangible isn't really what I mean; more like things related to work and relationships.  That kind of thing breaks people all the time, but people just call it depression or anxiety.

I see what you mean. Thanks for claryfying. I still think you put way to broad of terms on everything but I agree with the basics

I have plenty of phobias:

•fear of heights

•fear of the dark

•fear of being alone

•fear of sauces (ketchup is a particular trigger)

•fear of spiders

•fear of being abandoned

•fear of pain

I mean if were talking about phobias now I guess I should say I have an unreasonable fear of bees and flies, and I will not hesistate to run away screaming if a bee flies into my room. also I hate big spiders (but tiny ones are really cute)

 

I mean I guess the scariest moment of my life was when we went on the first ever walk around the park area when we moved into my dad's new house (I would've been 7) and we went to this field place thing which is around the harbour I live on (were so lucky to live there, its literally a 30 second walk away) and obviously it gets really muddy. my sister, who is basically a stick insect who has somehow climbed multiple mountains when she was 13 so she can essentially teleport herself wherever she wants to go, and she used this to run fast as hell over some mud from one bit of dry land to another. she told me to do it too, and I went to do it after some peer pressure thinking "I mean its just some mud if I got stuck it wouldn't even get past my wellies"

looking back now, I facepalm at the "I would only sink halfway past my shins" moment because oH BOY

I GOT STUCK AND SUNK DOWN TO MY WAIST

I obviously started screaming and my dad pulled me out, and one of my wellies are still stuck in that mud to this day (which is roughly 6 years later)

thankfully I only had to walk around like some scooby doo monster reject for like a minute and then I got home and had a shower

and that's it

 

also I guess when it snowed last march my mum made us take a bus to try and get somewhere to do sledding but obviously the bus had to stop after a while and we were forced to walk to my auntie's house and I swear to god I was about to keel over and die in the cold and im pretty sure I just fell asleep and sleepwalked half the way and when I got into my aunties house I just rubbed myself against a radiator (which usually burns you after touching it too long) for about 10 minutes and that was one of the happiest moments of my life

 

also theres probably the time I was pushed backwards off a giant tree stump and bent my finger so far back it broke, but that didn't scare me it just hurt like hell except for the fact that the person who pushed me (who is now my best friend lmao) insists I hit my head against a root of the tree stump even though I have no memory of hitting my head, just falling off and having a tiny headache and, you know, a broken finger

 

ok I just realised I wrote an entire essay so sorry about that lol

Regarding spiders, I'm the opposite. Big spiders are adorable to me but if I see a tiny one I run away screaming.

I have Lilapsophobia and astraphobia The fear of Tornadoes and Thunder/Lightning.

When I was smaller I wanted to be a storm chaser to film tornadoes.

this isn't even funny anymore. firstly we're both british, secondly we have similar school attendance rules, and now you have the exact same fears as one of my best friends? aCK
