This thread is inspired by the Dr. Phil show about phobias that I am currently watching. Do you have any phobias, and if so what are they? Don't be ashamed, everybody has a fear of one kind or another.

Just found this site on the web, it has a whole list of phobias. Not to poke fun at people who actually have these fears, but some of them are kinda funny and/or unsual.

same here - I hate going up those floating staircases that you can see right through I went up the La Sagrada de Familia in Barcelona and couldn't even bring myself to look out at the view I got so scared. I never even realised I was afraid of heights until then.

I'm angoraphobic, other than that I'm ok I think.

Arachnephobia or Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders.

Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis. I shouldn't laugh, but that one cracks me up!!

That's a common fear that many people have.

Really? That's gotta be rough, especially when you're really sick and need meds make you well again.

Fearing see a penis? No
Fear of thinking about a penis No
Fear of having an erect penis I don't have one - can I hold one?

Those floating staircases would scare me too! If I'm going up stairs, I prefer the kind that are closed in. I'm always afraid of falling through the steps or something.

Anxiety said:

yeah that too!

That's gotta be rough.
