ANTIclimatic Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I have pediophobia (fear of dolls and other humanoid figures). Had it as a kid and it was caused by that one child's play scene where chucky came out of the fire place burnt and was walking towards the camera menacingly. I remember walking in on that scene playing in the living room as a kid and being so petrified that I ran to my parents room and hid behind the wall lol. I'm a fan of the child play franchise and don't really find chucky all that scary but the anxiety still remains.

Kavish Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I cannot sit with an open door or entrance behind my back. I will get fidgety and keep looking behind, with a constant feeling that something or someone is creeping over me and will attack at any moment. I cannot explain why I feel like this and it has impacted my life significantly. My parents claim nothing happened in my childhood to trigger this.

The7thStranger Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I have a profound fear of having my head stuck in places. Going under a bed or sticking my head between the couch and wall ... I can't do it. I've had multiple nightmares of having my head stuck under concrete or in a sewer. I'm not sure where it comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subzero Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 1) Lepidopterophobia - fear of butterflies/moths I'd say it's very mild, I won't have a panic attack or anything but I think they're disgusting lmao. Pretty to look from a far but other than that no thanks. 2) There isn't a scientific term, at least I haven't found one (maybe a weird form of necrophobia), but the thought of someone seeing//touching my body when I die freaks me the *** out. Like it's completely irrational since I will cease to exist and it won't matter at all but knowing that someone will look at my corpse, I hate it. My siblings say I'm cat in a persons body as cats hide/like to be secluded when they die. I always say if I knew my moment of expiration, I'd go into a deep cave where nobody would find me and let my body decompose and by the time anyone finds it, it's completely decomposed/dissolved or at best just a skeleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense, I know I mean everyone has a skeletal system that isn't special, so I think the way my brain thinks of my flesh as "me" it's dumb but Idk, it weirds me out and I'd like to die completely alone, it's ridiculously irrational. Tbh I'd rather my entire body decomposes and nobody sees/finds it but the chances of that are extremely slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting though never even though about someone having that specific fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Spiders! I'm capable of killing them myself so it's not too debilitating but I just can't stand them. I'm fine with insects. Not really a fear, but when I'm in public spaces I prefer sitting/standing in corners or with at least one wall behind me so that I can see the whole room. It's not a must for me and I can still enjoy myself even if I'm facing the wall, but I have a strong preference to being able to see my surroundings at all times (when I'm out of my house). I don't know where it comes from, it's a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonginBey Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Spiders and stores where everything is displayed a certain way. For example: Anytime I go shopping with friends and we come across clothing displays like this, a chill runs through me, and I think someone is going to jump out It all started after seeing this particular scene as a kid: The first 20 seconds.

I'm not someone who particularly likes being exposed but I have no issue when it comes to physicals/doctors, so it should be no different in death as coroners/morticians/medical professionals are the ones deal with your body postmortem, but I do, not sure why. It's puzzling, I don't think I've ever met/seen anyone with the same "fear" Edited May 23, 2022 by Subzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
