General human anatomy phobias
I have a very strange fear of my tongue getting a paper cut. I don't know why though it makes me cringe just thinking about the sound and texture of the paper cutting my tongue.
Score:
My phobia is when bones touch eachother- like when elbows touch one another or ankles or knees, knuckles, any bone..

I cannot stand the sound of fingernails touching anything and anytime someone touches me with their fingernails I start to scream and cry and sometimes freak out...

I hate when people bend their fingers. Even though the fingers are bent backward a little bit its disturbing to me. I dont mean the knuckle where your whole finger bends i mean the joint on EACH AND EVERY FINGER. I wish i knew the name to this strange phobia.

I am beyond terrified of many things, but there are some that are horrific to me.
- I can't stand long, bony fingers. They are creepy and disturbing to me.
-Anything that is SUPPOSED to look human. Wax figures, statues, etc.
-Ventriloquist and porcelain dolls are the worst things in the world. They aren't pretty or anything. They are horrific in everyway I can imagine. Thinking about them worries me just a little bit.

I have some insane and irrational issue with people coming into contact with my ears. I can't stand it. I won't normally let someone get a hand within a foot of the sides of my head because of this.
It can cause a lot of problems sometimes. Getting check-ups at the doctors is a real pain (and actually, I'm afraid of doctors anyway, so that only makes it worse). I also really love body piercings and such. Generally, when concerning my ears, I'll just pierce them myself now (with all the PROPER equiptment; no piercing guns, sewing needles, or safty pins for me, thanks), but sometimes a new piercing will get bumped and bleed or something like that, and then there's always someone wanting to get a look at them, and I just freak out.
It extends to other people's ears, too. I gt very incomfortable, a lot of the time, having to touch someone else's ears for any reason, and I especially can't tolerate seeing ears injured. I fainted once because my little sister's earring grew into her ears do to improper care, and my mother tried to pry them out. I passed out, and on my way down, smashed my head into a wall and got my ankle caught under a chair, resulting in a minor break in one of the bones in my foot.

I cant stand my tounge being touched, even talking about it makes me gag. This makes the dentists very difficult and the thought of having any kind of treatment in my mouth or throat impossible

I am afraid of other people's hair. Not so much their hair as a whole - but individual strands. If I'm reading a book and I notice a strand of hair stuck between the pages, I will get a tissue, or preferably a paper towel (as they are larger) and use that to remove the hair. Usually I am gagging and retching as I do this. For this reason I do not eat in restaurants, as finding someone else's hair in my food would surely be the death of me.

I have a phobia of arm hair in general

Admittedly, this isn't quite a phobia, but it's certainly along those lines.
It's things that are meant to look human, like waxworks. It's not that I'm completely terrified of them, I just get a little freaked and wary around them. I think the problem is that they look human enough that I subconsciously expect them to be alive and walking around, but they're just not quite right so that if they were walking around it would be absolutely, horribly terrifying. I hope you understand what I mean. Here's some of the things I'm talking about:
- Dummies at museum displays, especially if I can't see their faces (look too real that way) or if they're looking directly at me (seems like they can see me).
- Porcelain dolls, ventriloquist's dolls, etc.. Borderline horrific. They don't look cute, realistic or humorous, just scary.
-Waxworks. Oh my God. They epitomise the whole 'too realistic but not quite' thing for me. Imagine being locked in Madame Tussaud's overnight. Ugh.

I'm terrified of breaking my sternum.
Whenever anything gets near it, I cringe. If I'm wlaking down a crowded hall or street, I have to hold a book or purse of something over my chest because I'm scared someone might elbow me or something.
The thought of that long, narrow bone snapping in two at the tip and the ends grating the inside of my chest... my pulse speads up and I have to touch the bone to make sure it's still whole.

I hate people to touch my head. Going to the barber shop is horrible, yet I do submit to it. I keep my hair short so the barber can do it in the shortest amount of time. I don't even like to wear hats because they are touching my head.

When my friend threatened my with her foot, as she knows I am podophobic ( scared of feet) and placed her hand on my arm, I freaked out, thinking it was her actual foot. She laughed and explained it was her hand! I am still not forgiving her for that!

i have two phobias, one is of people opening their eyes too big, if i can see the whites above your iris, i immediately have to look away until you return your eyelids to a more normal state, it gives me the chills just thinking about it.
my other phobia is skin and hair, i cant touch another persons skin or hair. me touching someone's head, or skin is like putting your hand in a garbage disposal with a three year old's hand on the switch, i flip.
im not sure if it is related, but i also get very embarrassed if my skin moves, i have this warped idea that my skin needs to be tight, and rock hard, so that even pressing a finger against my arm in front of someone, and watching it snap back when i take my finger away, it feels almost like i just took off all my clothes in front of a crowd.

Lately, whenever I see a sharp object, especially wire cutters, bolt cutters, or something of that ilk, I get a nauseating image of someone using them to cut the tendons below my knee caps.
