Me? Cockroaches. Deathly afraid of them. And down south they're huge.

Hmmmmmm . . . I'm slightly afraid of bridges. Ugh, I hate them. I know they're stable, but they don't seem stable.

I'd rather think the fear of bridges would be the fear of drowning..
I have a fear of that too. One of the worst ways to die.

Also, heights, not sure if it I previously mentioned.

Not all bridges are over water.

But yeah, I guess I have mild gephyrophobia.

In that case it also happens to be fear of heights...like fearing cracking your head open on the pavement below.

As well as these ones:

arachnophobia - Hate massive spiders , Small ones don't worry me.

cancerophobia - Fear of getting cancer.

acrophobia - Fear of heights above 6 meters .

nosocomephobia - Fear of hospitals .

That's all my Phobias ... Is Stage Fright a Phobia?

A Phobia is like you crap your pants you're so scared of them. You'll run away from a huge crowd screaming in terror, thrashing to survive.

I just have a little fear of spiders. Not phobic.

There are phobias of everything, here is a list of some (there may even be more). The funniest name probably is Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, the fear of number 666. There are some really bad ones like Phagophobia (fear of swallowing) and Panphobia (fear of everything or constant fear of an unknown cause).
I have a friend who has Astraphobia since she once nearly got struck by lightning.. before I knew her I didn't know phobias could be so bad. But she told me about her fear and how she gets completely paralyzed if she gets in a storm.. really a bad thing..

I think I don't really have a phobia myself, at least nothing makes me overreact anormally. When reading the list there are a few I could pick out that may apply, but it's more of a psychological complex, not strong enough to be called phobic I think.

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

I already stumbled across that.. in fact it's a hoax^^ well, sorta.. those who named the phobia took the name and added things like hippopo and monstro to make it that long, to make fun out of it. But the real name isn't much longer than Sesquipedaliophobia

I don't have too many phobias that would be serious... my brother has a major fear of orange cylinders though.
