Ive got the water thing but a little different. Im not scared of water, or the ocean, just the thought of something being IN the water. I havnt been able to see if this is a real life thing though, as Ive only experienced it in video games. Its the only Phobia I have that currently only exists in games and not real life. But again, I dont go outside much and I havnt been near a large body of water in a long time.

I used to think I had a fear of heights, but recently ive found out its less a fear of heights, and more a fear of Falling. Even stairs scare me, I feel uncomfortable walking down stairs unless theres something I can grab onto for support. I feel really uncomfortable when people mention skydiving, and as a kid I was scared of balloons when they flew up into the sky, cuz I was scared one day it would take me with it.


Then theres the two primary ones that take place in my day to day life: Entomophobia (insects) and Arachnaphobia (Arachnids). Its a size thing with this one. Something like a fly or a very small spider, I wont be able to touch them like pick em up but I can swat em away. Stuff like daddy long legs I can leave alone as long as they dont come close, but cockroaches, bigger spiders etc. I get paralyzed. I cant let them out of my sight or ill be super paranoid. Even after spraying them I have to see them fully die to even be put at ease. And then I feel insects walking over my body when there isnt any. Its super unnerving. Even writing this makes me uncomfortable. The weird thing is though, ive heard people with some phobias cant even look at pictures of what theyre afraid of, whereas i think spiders and scorpions in say a video game are really cool. Its just the real things scare me half to death.


Needless to say I cant walk around outside barefoot.
