Do you know or have weird phobias?

[FoxerOwl]

I am scared of touching wet dish rags. Or just wet rags in particular.
Whenever I think of touching them... -shivers- I get super scared. I think it's because if I touch it, germs will get on me (I'm not scared of germs anywhere else, just with rags). I mean, you don't know where that rag has been.... if I absolutely HAVE to touch a rag, I take the very edge of the corner, a string if available, and when I'm done I toss it in the sink and run away.

I'm also deathly afraid of dark crevices. I don't mind the dark unless it's somewhere I have to reach for something.... like, if I drop a pen behind my dresser and I have to reach for it, I get so scared and I call my dad to come get it. I'm afraid of dark corners and such because I'm afraid some bug will crawl on my hand, a hand will reach out and grab me, or some odd scary thing. I don't know why beyond that. If I see a dark corner I get super scared and pale.

I don't know either of these phobia's names, so if you do please post / PM me! c:

I have a strong phobia of the dark.
Yes, I'll admit it. Not easily, that's for sure.
But it's evolved into more than just the usual childhood phobia..
When it's pitch black or dead quiet in my room, I start hyperventilating. I used to think it was because in the dark, the walls felt like they were squishing me. I don't get that feeling much anymore but.. It's. weird.
When it's dark, my mind plays tricks.
I see glowing things. Eyes, orbs, specs, the list goes on.
I hear noises that weren't there before. Their mostly voices but I don't know what they say.
I feel things. Bugs crawling that aren't really there, cold things down my back and arms, etc.
I know it's just my brain messing with me but even at 16 years old this still terrifies me. I cannot under any circumstances go to sleep without the sound and light of my TV. Even sometimes that's not enough and I have to turn on the lamp next to my bed.
If I am in the dark longer than 5 minutes, I will be huddled in a corner and crying. That is how much I am afraid of the dark.
Another thing that helps is I must sleep with one of our dogs. We have 5 so I usually have at least a little chihuahua next to me. The dog s help because, on occasions, I feel like I'm being watched. Even with the light and sound. With that feeling is also the awareness that I am alone. By myself, away from my family. The dogs bark at a mouse fart so if there was really anything there, they'd bark.

Also, it's gotten to the point where I can't even look at a dark corner of the room. In my house, our couch is positioned so you have a clear view of the entrance to our kitchen.. When I used to sit there with my laptop, I'd keep staring at the dark kitchen at night. And see things moving. I don't know what they were, but they scared the livings out of me. It wasn't the dogs, I know this for sure since they were either in a different room or outside.

This phobia scares me to death, even if I'm just thinking about it. So this wasn't easy to type up!
It's not a feeling I'd wish upon my worst enemy and I'm terrified it'll be the death of me.
But, hopefully not.

I'm terrified of people reading my mind, it makes it even worse since I think that people are reading my mind. If I'm sitting with someone or a bunch of people and no one is talking I think that their reading my mind, like in the classroom....

I hate load roller coasters, they freak me out so much. I'm fine with quiet ones just those rattling clanky sorta ones are really scary. They just seem like their going to break and collapse at any second where I would fall to my dead along with all the other people on the roller coaster.

Fur real toys and other realistic looking animal toys that move freak the hell out of me. I swear when I was eight my fur real cat moved. And when I had a fur real dog I had nightmares about it almost every night. My nan also got me this lamb in a basket bed sorta thing that moved as if it was breathing, omg that thing was so scary. It was placed at the end of the hallway by my mum, I refused to move it or turn my back to it..

Also my mum has a friend who had hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (the fear of the number six hundred and sixty six), she grew up in this freaky religious cult thing and is pretty messed up in the brain. She also had more fears of things such as demons, hell and stuff like that.

Also, just wanted to say some pretty weird phobias:
Kinesophobia- Fear of movement
Laliophobia – Fear of speaking
Nomatophobia- Fear of names
Panophobia- Fear of everything (man that would suck)
Papyrophobia- Fear of paper
Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th
Peladophobia- Fear of bald people
Phobophobia- Fear of fear
Photophobia- Fear of light
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking
Pogonophobia- Fear of beards

Not necessarily a 'weird' phobia, it's sort of common, but I have Claustrophobia. It's the fear of confined places (ex. place that's a little too small to be comfy, a place with too many people, ect.) I get bad anxiety if I feel too closed in.

[BlossomTail]

I'm not sure how uncommon this is but I've got a huge fear of looking at a window and seeing a face at night. It's gotten to the point where I can't even look out windows at night anymore or I freeze up.
