spiders
Even spiders are afraid of spiders.
I don't know if it even has a name, bit if I'm driving and traffic stops with me under a bridge, I'm always afraid it is going to collapse on me. Especially if big trucks are going over the top.
It calls itself the ultimate list, but the only one on that list one could argue I have is aquaphobia. Not a good experience.
Stairs and inclines, like steep hills and tiered seating. We can't sit in the cheap seats at sporting events because I constantly feel like I'm going to fall and I get anxiety attacks. Stairs and escalators are bad too, but I've gotten much better with those over the years (can't exactly avoid them in most cases).
I have a 2 story house with a basement, and even going downstairs in my own home can sometimes be hard.
Tokophobia.
Submechanophobia
Trypophobia
Misophonia
I used to be subbed to r/submechanophobia because i fucking love the aesthetic of that stuff. Sorry you have these issues though
I remember seeing the Titanic footage and there’s such a haunting fear that hit me. I would be absolutely terrified if I was in a close vicinity of it
Emetophobia
No clue if there’s a name for it, but I recoil in disgust from long loose strands of hair. Absolutely hate it when I accidentally get some on me from my sister or mom and feel it wrap around my fingers or something.
Snails. Fucking disgusting. Fish are veeeery edgy too, always found them completely weird to look at.
But fish are also often dead when you see them, so maybe in general dead animals with their eyes and all.
Also blood, not the liquid, but having something in your veins, in the most intimate part of your body. I often nearly collabse, it gets better with every time, for example the second covid suringe was way better, still traumatic.
