Day 34: Maybe There Really is Something Wrong With me..

While I was organizing my room. I unwillingly came across a spider.
Not as bad as a House Centipede, but...just as worse.
I thought about, what other fears I have off the top of my head.
I know that I am afraid of insects, doors and the dark.
But I was curious to see what other fears I might have.

I started to look up phobias, which are fears that become unreasonable or difficult to overcome
and I don't think my fears are this bad, but I thought it'd be fun to look them up.


Autophobia or Monophobia: The fear of being alone: I would say that I used to have a fear of this, but maybe i'm more afraid of dying alone then being alone. Sometimes being alone has its perks.My mother keeps telling me that I'm too selfish as a person to live with someone...

Asymmetriphobia: Fear of asymmetrical things:  I think that I may have a problem with this. I can't  look at things that are asymmetrical. I either get annoyed or have a strong desire to fix it..Maybe its the design student in me.

Rhabdophobia: Beaten by a rod or instrument of punishment, or of being severely criticized:
I would say that this would have been a big problem when I was younger (Asian parents and their disciplining methods), but I think I've gotten so used to this, (and from final critiques from studio..heh)

Clinophobia.: Fear of going to bed: While its not a fear, I feel really guilty about going to sleep sometimes. When I have a project or assignment due.

Scotomaphobia: Blindness in a visual field:  Yea...I forget that I subconsciously have this fear of losing my eyesight (for some reason I typed "eyeshit") or my hands.

Batophobia: Fear of being close to high buildings:  I will admit, when I look at a really tall building, or when I stand next to one and look up, I get a little scared. As if the building could fall down any moment...not a good fear if I want to become an architect.

Scelerophobia: Burglars or being harmed by wicked persons: I think a lot of people have this fear.

Taphephobia or Taphophobia: Fear of being buried alive, being in cemeteries: I get a little scared of being in a cemetery, because I think about what in the ground all around me. At other times, being in one is actually quite peaceful.

Sinophobia: Fear of Chinese, Chinese culture: No, I don't have this fear..it just made me wonder how different my life would be..

Consecotaleophobia: Fear of Chopsticks: This too..

Chronophobia: Fear of clocks or time: I might have a mild fear of this, as a result of my commuting life, mixed with architecture.

Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns: I..I can't be in the same room with one..There's just something about them that scares me so much.

Cyberphobia: Fear of working on computers: I think working on Autocad and Rhino for an X amount of hours, might do this to me.

Herpetophobia: Fear of creepy crawly things: Finally, I know a name for my fear of House Centipedes.

Enissophobia: criticism: Just a mild fear...I...I think...

Enochlophobia: crowds: I think i'm more afraid of what happens when i'm in a crowd..I get really angry/crazy...

Achluophobia: darkness I can't stay in the dark too long by myself..I'm always afraid that some Japanese woman ghost is going to pop out..

Decidophobia: Decisions: making decisions: I get scared of making decisions sometimes. I keep thinking of the consequences of what might happen if I didn't do something this way, or that way..it drives me insane.

Dentophobia: Dentist I'm more scared of what the dentist will tell me than anything. 

Pediophobia: Dolls I hate the dolls that have the huge eyes that seem to follow you whenever you're in the room...they creep me out..

Paralipophobia: Neglecting duty or responsibility. Heh...

Oneirophobia: Dreams: I had a dream where my mom was chasing me with a butcher knife in her hand with a piece of paper in the other. (Maybe it was my report card??) Since then..I get a little scared of my dreams.

Atychiphobia or Kakorrhaphiophobia: Failure: A fear instilled in me by my parents and wooden spoons...

Pteronophobia: Fear of being tickled: Do not tickle me. Eyes may be stabbed or stomachs may be punched...you were warned. I turn into a Hulk version of Tickle Me Elmo.

Phasmophobia: Fear of ghosts: I...I'm really scared of ghosts...Maybe is the question of whether they exist or not that gets to me..however, the idea of something coming out of the dark..gets to me too..

Anablephobia or Anablepophobia: Looking up: I forget I get a little scared of looking up...I'm afraid that somethings gonna fall into my eyes and make me blind..or something like that..

Ligyrophobia: Fear of loud noises: I love loud music..its sudden loud sounds I can't stand.

Polyphobia: Fear of many things I love phobias like these...I don't really know why.

Menophobia: Menstration: I don't think I need to go into detail as to why.

Catoptrophobia: Mirrors: I'm scared of looking into mirrors. I keep thinking that i'll see a ghost standing there or that my reflection will move on its own.



Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia: Money I'm more afraid of losing/spending it..

Arithmophobia or Numerophobia: Numbers: Oh man..I forgot about this fear..I have a slight fear of math..because i'm not so fabulous with it..too many beatings associated with it...::tear::.

Thalassophobia: Fear of the ocean: I love the ocean, but I think i'm more afraid of whats floating around in the water..as someone once said "the fish make love in it.." my mind is really filthy.

Gerascophobia or Gerontophobia: Growing old: I'm scared of growing up. How my body might break down and such. I'm also afraid of seeing the people I love dying before me.

Allodoxaphobia: Opinions: Stop criticizing me!!..i'm kidding..kinda.

Sociophobia: Fear of people: Oh yes..I forget how much people scare me..In New York especially..

Metrophobia: Poetry: I'm more afraid of bad poetry..like..deafness, causing poetry.


Politicophobia: Politicians: Yea.

Cremnophobia: Precipices: I don't like standing on them..

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: Fear of long words: I don't have this fear..but...I really don't understand how or why they came up with this one...its messed up

Ephebiphobia: Teenagers: High school instilled this fear in me. .::shudder::.

Testophobia: Taking tests: How can I forget about this one...

Topophobia: Stage fright: I used to have this fear...until I was a golden chicken in a school play..more on that later.

Glossophobia: Speaking in public: I hate speaking in public. I get so nervous. If I stay up there for too long, I become a stuttering wreck.

Arachnophobia:Spiders: .::shudder::. something I will never get over.

Syngenesophobia: Relatives: My family scares me. Whats even scarier is that we share some of the same DNA...


So this is all the fears that I have found that I have in me..

and now I am very concerned..

so very concerned...
