1: Roller coasters! no. no way nope! <br> 2: Automatonophobia is the fear of anything that falsely represents a sentient being; it is a type of specific phobia. This includes, but is not limited to, ventriloquist dummies, animatronic creatures, mannequins, scarecrows, and wax statues. (mine only being mannequins with faces) <br> 3: honondasdontiaphobia; is literally the fear of loosing your teeth.

Agoraphobia is an intense fear and anxiety of being in places where it is hard to escape, or where help might not be available. Agoraphobia usually involves fear of crowds, bridges, or of being outside alone. <br> <br> Trypophobia, is a claimed pathological fear of holes, particularly irregular patterns of holes <br> <br> Thanatophobia: fear of death. <br> <br> The last one is because that's the only given promise at birth is death.

I read that people with Trypophobia may stem somewhere deep in our brains from long long long time ago. That people who suffer from this also feel the same negative emotions when seeing poisonous animals and that it is something ingrained in us for our own safety. See below pics, warning may be upsetting to some.

Fear of Public Speaking Phobia โ Glossophobia - I had to give a speech at my high school graduation. My knees were shaking, my hands sweating, felt like I was gonna puke. My voice shook the whole time but I made it through it. I still hate speaking in front of people, really large groups in particular.
<br>
<br> Fear of Long Words Phobia โ Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - I don't have this but it struck me as funny that the name for fear of long words is one of the longest words I've ever seen.
<br>
<br> I also don't like being in tight spaces, bugs (even though I used to pick cicadas up by their wings when I was a little girl) and heights. These last 3 aren't overwhelming for me but make me uncomfortable.
<br>
<br> Awesome thread Teeny. Thanks! 
@rickgrimesrocks I don't care for speaking in large crowds either. Thank you for sharing

Don"t know what it is called, but I can't walk on things I can see through. Terrifies me. Cat walks are safe, I know but I seize up like a two dollar tent.

Lilapsophobia - fear of tornadoes. I used to have these horribly vivid dreams about being sucked up into a tornado when I was younger. I haven't had one in a long time and the internet shrinks said it was more of me not feeling like I was not in control of my life than me actually fearing tornadoes. That's probably true because I don't think I'd be any more upset than anyone else if a tornado went by my house but I hated having those dreams. I don't think there's such a thing as a fear of dream tornadoes though.
@PaddyWhack Check out these sites: <br> www.lauriloewenberg.com/tornado-... <br> www.quora.com/What-is-the-meanin... <br> www.dreamdictionary.org/uncatego... <br> Maybe these will help you understand why you had dreams of tornadoes. <br> or maybe you a fear of nightmare: <br> Kakoneirophobia (from kakos meaning "bad, evil", oneiros meaning "dream", and phobos meaning "fear") is an irrational fear of nightmares. ... It is often connected with oneirophobia, although kakoneirophobia is the fear of bad dreams only, while oneirophobia can mean fear of good dreams as well. <br> <br> Whatever the case thank you for sharing your fears with us๐ฑ
@Teeny๐ You are welcome. <br> <br> Bonus: a favorite movie of mine about tornadoes. I'm gonna go watch it again right now :) <br> dosmovies.com/watch_movie/Into_the_Storm....

<br> dumasaphobia
<br>
<br> Meaning : 1) A morbid fear of dumbass people. 
<br>
<br> A mental disorder that has no cure. It's called 'Dumasaphobia', the fear of stupid people. 
<br>
<br> Example : Ted can't even turn on Fox News without having a panic attack because he suffers from dumasaphobia.
@๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ*๐ญ I think a lot of us have that phobia and that problem....lol

In honor of America Horror Story-Cults which is filled with phobias <br> <br> WHAT ARE YOUR PHOBIA'S LOOK THEM UP AND LIST THEM <br>
@Teeny๐ Being In small places,where I could get stuck. Don't have problems to look In videos or pictures,but If I were In that spot,I'd panic and then die. :D - Claustrophobia.
@Kriksis I understand that completely!! <br> Thank you for sharing
@Kriksis Me too, I couldn't unzip my winter coat one time and I panicked and ripped it off.
Felt like I would smother and couldn't breath. If I was stuck in a small space like a coffin I'd probably die of panic.
As I have gotten older I have a fear of Heights, never use to be afraid of much when I was younger, I even use to sit on the 14 floor balcony and not be worry about falling.,
@Teeny๐ I have a fear of parasitic nematodes. I could not find what that would be called. I do like beneficial nematodes and other platyhelminthes though.
