Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I have so many of these phobias! My anxiety soared through the roof this past winter until I got a handle on it, good to know others fear many things too :)

I am very scared of dogs it interrupts my life. When i lived in an upstairs apartment my downstairs neighbor had a big boxer and when they had it outside id stay in my car until they went inside or id wait in my house to go anywhere until they went inside it was horrible.

Number 8 hands down

I have trypophobia I have crazy anxiety of holes and lines 😫😫😫 I have goosebumps writing this right now 😑

I think at some point in time, everyone becomes afraid of death. I am afraid of spiders 🕷

Since I was a todler

I got entomophobia lol

I don't really know what I'm afraid of. I know that it's not a physical thing, that's for sure. Like I'm not afraid of any object or animal.

TRYPOPHOBIA. One if my biggest fears. Freaking hate it. It literally makes me want to cry. If you don't know what that is, go to google and and type it in then press images. Hell to the nah. I hate that shît

I always knew I had a phobia of holes or irregular patterns but I never knew there was an actual name for it. Later I found I have trypophobia 😩
