Anyone got any strange phobias/fears?
Or just something you can not stand, or won't go near?

Not really scared of anything, but I can't stand attention seekers and I guess I won't go near them as they can really piss me off.

Yeah they are annoying, especially people who try to be funny in front of a big group and it just isn't funny.
But believe it or not i am shit scared of cheese, i wont touch it or go near it and when there is a really strong smell of it, i sometimes am sick, its so weird cause that's the food everyone loves:(

I don't like cheese..
I hate touching door handles, i start freaking out when i know i have to. Especially if it's a public door handle. That's more of a germ thing though.

that's strange, how do you open handles in public then when your on your own?

I use my sleeve or like one finger if i can.
And then i use hand sanitizer after.

ah i see, must be horrible :(

-Well, I have entomophobia (Fear of insects). And believe me, it's not just a natural aversion to them, I can't even be in the same room in my house as a fly. Arachnophobia too.
-Also emetophobia (Fear of vomiting). It doesn't help that I was sick today, it was horrible, I still haven't eaten anything and it's been hours. /:
-This may sound weird but I've realized I can't stand certain fabrics. I can't stand sitting on the sofa downstairs because it's made out of this fabric that feels horrible against your skin and if you touch it with your fingernails. It makes me shiver so I can't sit on that unless there's a sheet on top of it.
-Acrophobia (Fear of heights) but, to a certain extent. One of the reasons I hate trampolining in school. The teacher always tries to make me jump higher but I just can't. o.O
-I'm kinda scared of germs too like what Charlotte was saying. I feel as though in public places (especially school and public transport), I NEED to have hand gel with me in case of anything. I'm quite fussy too, so I'm told, although I don't understand why other people aren't the same. For example, if there's a piece of chewing gum on a chair at school (Even though it's been there for years and it's dried up), I'll swap the chair OR if there's no clean spare chair available, I'll put a piece of paper down on the chair and then sit on it. Though me being fussy like that isn't a fear or phobia or something...just how I am really...my mum's like that too.

Wow that's so many fears.
It's weird how people just get fears, like have you always been afraid of these things, or has it happened due to something?

I have a fear of large bodies of water or anything that reminds me of such, for example if I stood in front of a large blue wall I might feel a little anxious. I get that same feeling when looking at Google Earth and I accidentally zoom in on the sea.
