Well, I've always been wondering what everybody else is...
---
According to the American Psychiatric Association, a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm.

Heres a list of ALL phobias(or atleast most of them):

Phobia List

Or maby you just suffer from a case of Paranoia? Hmmm?

This list is too long, and includes things that are not really phobias. I mean, lets take one example here & also have another look at the definition:

According to the American Psychiatric Association, a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm.


So, an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation.

Atomosophobia - Fear of atomic explosions.

Now, call me crazy - but shouldn't you be afraid of an atomic explosion? It *will* kill you after all, so that doesn't seem all that irrational. It's like if you're thrown in a cage with a tiger and you're afraid, you don't have a phobia of tigers, but you should be afraid, because it will likely maul and kill you. Painfully.

Chiraptophobia- Fear of being touched

Everytime someone nudges me I feel really strange and I generally avoid crowded places. I've been bumped quite a few times but haven't made skin contact for as long as I can remember.

A little bit of arachnophobia. Spiders are just so creepy. Oh, and I just found out that clowns kinda creep me out. Not that I'm scared of them, but I just don't like them. Or their acts. Way to bright side for me :P
