I don't think I have any Phobias (that I know of), but maybe I do. One day we'll find out.

However, I know that the phobia of long words is, ironically, an insanely long word. It is : hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Yea... ironic.

I have a fear of heights, can't remember what the name of it is though. Its the one fear I have yet to overcome.

Did you know the most common Phobia isn't death it's snakes?

I have arachnophobia which is a fear of spiders. I am scared of the massive ones the most , The small ones don't worry me.

I always thought the most common phobia was the phobia of speaking in front of a crowd. Meaning people would rather die (literally) than go up in front of a crowd and talk.

Maybe it is the snake one now. But they aren't too bad, I like em. :P

I also have a phobia of great heights. As I worry I might fall to my death.

Well then it's more a phobia of falling than heights i suppose! :P
Or have you ever ran away from a tall building because it's that high? D

That's called acrophobia, Moe.

I have a fear of simply being useless, either working until I am not longer able to do my job as well as possible, or of having no marketable skills... Don't know what that's called.

I thought stage fright (dont know the phobia name) was the most common
But wait i also found something claiming Arachniphobia is #1
And something saying snakes is #1...
Curse you Internet

THIS seems reliable though

Lol! Agreed, funny. :P
Some phobias are just strange. There's a phobia for almost everything. There's even one of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth.

That reminds me, I'm afraid of nuts. But its not a phobia, I'm deathly allergic to them.

I have two phobias: Acrophobia (fear of heights) and atychiphobia (fear of failure).

I have the latter so bad, I will literally quit whatever I'm doing if I feel like I might fail, even do nothing. This makes me fail, making it worse. D:
