I had this question in my mind through out the day,
and I thought it would be nice to create a thread to see if some people on the forums actually got some kind of phobia(s).

I might as well start with myself.

I have a huge phobia of dogs (Cynophobia), and whenever I approach a dog on the street or anywhere else, my first instinct is to avoid it as quick as possible.
Me & my parents went to Germany to meet with some friends, and they actually had a dog in their house.
As a result, I spent the rest of that night in their basement, watching stuff on my phone
Whenever I actually see a dog without a leash, I immediately want to turn another direct to avoid going to the same line as them.
It even happened to me today, as I went to the store to buy stuff for tonight, I approached two guys with two dogs.
Leashed or not, I took a longer route just to avoid contact.
I am actually scared that my phobia could effect my life in many years, as it doesn't seem that my friends doesn't have this phobia,
and if they actually get a dog for company, I could lose sociality with them.

Well, that's all I had to say about my fears.
Do you have any?

Wow, I've thought for a long time that I'm the only person in the world who's afraid of dogs. I've Cynophobia as well. It's better than earlier, for example I stay more relaxed with smaller dogs than before, but I'm still very nervous and feared when seeing dogs. This is so heavy that I can't eat in restaurants where dogs are nearby.

I actually have the same problem about eating in restaurants, except that I try to take my focus on the eating more than the dogs around, but at the same time I still worry if the dog (or even cats, as I barely know what pisses a cat of) is close to my leg.
As for someone who usually go to Bosnia & Herzegovina on vacations, I do know that there are a lot of homeless dogs who usually walk the streets, as well as restaurants that mostly has their tables outside instead of inside.
Add both of those factors together, and I pretty much got my nightmare.

I'm really afraid of spiders but idk if it's already an arachnophobia. It depends on the situation I think, I also find spiders interesting (but disgusting) animals so idk

Spiders - it's "common" but I just can't stand them at all.. 

There was this big scare in October for me when I read there was a specific breed that have developed in Ireland and I was freaking out when I heard stories of what they did.. and I'm not ashamed to say but this is why I check my bed before I sleep and if possible.. wear socks to bed.

Though I'm not the only one in my family. That's my main phobia, I don't think I have a lot more but maybe to some extent heights - THOUGH hey, it's not as bad as my main one.

I'm afraid of them, when we will talk about it (even if we talk about it at day)

[Julian]

Oh yes I also hate darkness. And when I'm alone, outside at the evening (when it's dark) I always fear that someone will attack me >_>
