What's a strange phobia you have?

Mine is butterflies. I can't stand those flapping ****ers! They freak me out! That and dragon flies or humming birds.

Butterflies and wind turbines.

Glad to finally meet someone with a butterfly phobia. I felt like I was always alone with that phobia.

When I was watching TV, the Universal Studios spot at the end of a show would freak me out. They've changed a few times, but it didn't matter. Creepy.

Lamb chops the puppet freaks me out. I think it's mostly Sherry Lewis though.

Mushrooms. Particularly the concept of eating them. I cant touch them or eat anything they have touched, and it makes me super uncomfortable to see or smell them. Inconvenient bc my fam has mushrooms most weeks and have to cook them seperately.. its a surprisingly dehabilitating phobia

the weirdest phobia I have is the fear of when I step on to a new surface (such as carpet, or floor, what ever) it will move like a platform, and take me with it

then I will fall, and I'll have to be rescued before I'm sucked in to the carpet/ floor/ what ever

In some places, I have an overwhelming fear that I'll fall through the floor.

Yea! It's not just me with the butterfly phobia!

Whenever I tell people about it they're like wtf.

They just really freak me out. They just look disgusting. I had one dive bomb me at work. A big monarch butterfly too. I've never jumped up so fast in my life to get away from it!

I hate the upstairs of my house, I can't walk up the stairs without someone else coming with me, it's actually quite debilitating. I also hate enclosed spaces with other people I don't know in there. I also have a fear of the dark to the point where I have to take a torch with a strobe.

I don't think I have any phobias. However, lately, I cannot stand it if I get into bed and there's a wrinkle (I can feel) somewhere.

I keep trying to control my surroundings because I'm afraid I'll totally go off the deep end soon and some semblance of control helps with that.

I get afraid that the bed will fall through the floor. Irrational fear but I still have it.
