General insanely abstract phobias
I have a fear of styrofoam! I avoid it at all costs. I also do not know the name of this phobia, no matter how much I look the closet word I've found was "styrophobia" is this true?

I hate cotten balls. I hate them. I can't touch them at all or anything that feels like them. The thought of chewing on a cotten bal (the feeling of it between your teeth and all) makes me quesy and i hate it.

When I was about ten, it seemed that getting a ringing in my ears would automatically make me afraid --- not afraid of anything in particular --- just afraid. This usually happened in bed when it was dark and quiet. Somehow I noticed that looking at the floor, perhaps because the night-light shone on it, would make me feel better. Then one hot summer night I realized that the fan was making noise that would prevent me from hearing the ringing noise. And so I started to sleep with a fan on and didnt have the fear problem anymore. Ringing in my ears doesnt really bother me anymore, but be it winter or summer, I can no longer sleep without my fan.

I have a fear of people named Chad. My doctor told me laughingly to call it Chadophobia, but I take it seriously and thought it would be nice to get it out there.

I HATE tires.
The smell, the feel, the look.
It makes me shudder.
I'm aware this isn't a fear of anything, but I thought it might fit in.

Styrofoam. I can't stand it. It makes a wild noise. It feels disgusting to the touch. I think I would vomit if I drank from a styrafoam cup. My boyfriend, friends get rid of it for me. I have to leave the room when unpacking newly bought items. Just typing this....I have goosebumps.

I can't stand the thought of being dragged. Any time I see someone in a movie or a cartoon being dragged across the ground, my stomach turns and all I can think about--even if it's a cartoon--is how painful the road rash would be.

Sound - I type as quietly as I can, I mute the TV when I first turn it on, then slowly turn it up, I open the microwave before it's done, and every time a dog barks I freak out and run away. Mom says when she was pregnant with me somehow I could hear police sirens outside, or fireworks, and I'd start freaking out.

In 6th grade I was blowing up a balloon for a science experiment... I didn't like it already because of another phobia I have - loud sounds... I was blowing up the balloon when someone popped it in my face. From then on whenever I even saw a balloon I would crawl under something and just cry. You can't imagine the horror on my face when I arrived at Prom to see that every inch of the floor was littered with balloons. And all those high heels? I nearly wet myself... I sure got out fast though!

The very thought of any type of fabric touching my teeth sends me over the deep end! I get the creepy crawlies worse than you could imagine.

I have a phobia about seeing the bottom of boats or ships - I simply cannot look at them.
If I see a boat out of the water or a shipwreck - especially a large tanker - I have to look away as it makes me feel physically sick.

I have a phobia of cotton balls. I have no idea why, but I hate the way you can stretch them apart. They have this weird, squeaky quality to them. If someone stuffed my mouth full of cotton balls, I’d probably have a heart attack and die. My wife has to remove them from all of our medicine bottles so that I can pull out a Tylenol or what have you.

I get freaked out by pencils. They remind me of finger bones, like when someone taps their pencil it’s as if they have this skeletal finger clicking and tapping on the desk They make me shudder.
