It is so scary!!!! I wish I could just have different phobia that I can actually avoid! Like a phobia of heights! Because you can prepare for them and you know when and where you will have to face heights, with v* (sorry if you don't understand what v* is, I can't write the word because it petrofies me!!) You gave no idea of either!! I get sweaty and warm, my heart starts pounding and i begin to cry! I can't be around anyone who even coughs because I worry they will be sick and spread it to me! People who don't have this phobia are so lucky!! You wouldn't even begin to understand how hard it is to cope!!! I could go on and on about this but it would take up too much space!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Globophobia Report Abuse
Globophobia is a fear of balloons. In some cases, the fear is of balloons in general, while in others the object of fear is the sound produced when balloons pop (phonophobia). Globophobics tend to avoid parties and special occasions such as birthday parties, weddings, or any other festivities that may involve balloons as decorations. Globophobia is uncommon, but sufferers include Oprah Winfrey, So Ji-sub,[4] and Doug Stanhope. Generally, globophobics will refuse to touch, feel, or go near a balloon for fear it will pop. Globophobics tend not to trust people who have a balloon in their hand or anywhere near them, especially children.

I'm only scared of balloons because they have germs on them! When people blow them up with saliva all over it and then let the balloon go, all the saliva flaps around and... just... eeewww...

Does it count as a fear if I just get really stressed if I'm in a rush, like my breathing gets really fast, and it's like someone is pressing down on my chest?

I just don't want to be analyzed and looked down upon so it turns out that I'm completely wrong or what if what I say offends people and they get mad at me and they just keep getting angrier and angrier and they hurt me just because I had an opinion?

Pteronarcophobia (fear of flies) Report Abuse
Flies are terrifying. You never know where they're going to land or if it'll be on you or your food, and they vomit acid to disolve and eat a part of what they want to chow down on.

Toilet Phobia, fear of toilets Report Abuse
I feel like the only person who actually has this. The holes and loud noises just somehow got me and especially automatic toilets creeped the heck out of me, I always expect that they're gonna jump you with usually a very loud noise. I'm fourteen now and I'm finally starting to get over it. What I do to help me is to think of a catchy song or funny moment and remind myself that at least it won't actually kill me. Anyone kind of agree or just think I'm plain weird? Let me know in the comments below.
