Okay, who on earth decided that was fitting for a fear of long words? It’s almost as bad as aibohphobia

I actually have tokophobia. It's seems like a weird and irrational fear to have, but I certainly have it. I have nothing against pregnancy or anything, just the idea of someone having someone inside them scares me for some reason


Edit: seeing so many people feeling the same way that I do makes me feel a lot less alone. ty guys :]

[Rattyfanboy]

I have Peladophobia, the fear of bald people. I also have trypanophobia, the fear of needles. My doctor was a bald man and it was a full on meltdown.

[gaster]

Athazagoraphobia.... that is... that is me. I don't want to be forgotten. And I'm trying to leave a mark that says "I was here"

[Reddit_gamer]

People with these phobias falling for those are the definition of the phobias, makes good conflicts

[Quill-llrzAAAAAwhitenoise]

Fun OC idea: an OC who has Athazagoraphobia, but does not fear death at all, like their only goal is to leave a mark on the world, even if it means death.

[Sagninaw]

I don't know if this counts as Athazagorapphobia .. but due to my abuse as a kid and being locked up in my room for days on end... even as a large adult man I fear that I'll be forgotten.. and be..abandoned

I know it's lirrational but to me it's petrifying ...

It makes me seem like a creep when I get real clingy with people I know.. because I feel like if I don't stay close constantly and follow them around, I would be abandoned and completely forgotten about...

[ToastieTaco]

I have scopophobia, whenever I realise someone I know relatively well is staring at me it’s not as bad like I may start shifting and breathing a bit faster but when others I don’t know as well stare I feel judged and start panicking but try to mask as fine.

[Elisw]

Or trypophobia! It’s the fear of holes or repetitive patterns. It sounds dumb but I have it! If I see a bunch of small holes I legitimately get really scared or anxious

[lauraisthebest_yt]

With that tree one, you made me afraid of trees. That drawing was staring into my soul 😭

[id]

that was the scariest ghost I’ve ever seen, you give a warning if your showing stuff like that

[ansleywimer]

A good one is Trypanophobia, fear of needles and/or medical procedures involving them. When I have the possibility of getting a shot or blood test or any procedure like that (I have Trypanophobia on an extreme scale like a 9/10 fear on the scale), I'm in a constant state of anxiety which steadily increases the longer the possibility is around or the more likely it gets. My blood pressure and heartbeat increase, and I get in a state of manic happiness, acting like everything is fine, smiling and laughing and making jokes, but at the same time stimming and freaking out. Sometimes it comes with scary urges to get out of getting those procedures done, like collecting the blood that comes from natural cuts to provide as a blood sample. Extreme fears can push your body to terrifying levels, always remember that when making a character with fears.

Dentophobia
The most relatable fear
And also
Tooth hurty
If you know you know

[RainbowKessem]

I love how some of them fade away, and for atelophobia, there are those slight imperfections. There's so much attention to detail <3
(Also used to be my favorite word)

[Pancake_Derretido]

One of my characters has Eisoptrophobia, which is an unhealthy fear of mirrors or reflective objects.

[Hazbinfan-rdgj]

Yoo that fear of being forgotten thing makes me want to make a character that obsessively acts really nice to everyone in hopes that they won’t be forgotten

[ihadastrokereadingthis]

gualoxartophobia - the irrational fear of sandpaper! as somebody who is incredibly (almost impressively at this point) sensitive to noise and texture, of course i’m scared of sandpaper. genuinely had to step out of the room on more than one occasion if somebody started using it. i’ve thrown up at least twice because of it, too.

[aMessyDrawing]
