    Fear is a funny thing, don't you think? And some people have the strangest fears (including me) Just wondering What is your biggest fear? and what is your most irrational fear?

    My biggest fears are probably spiders and needles.

    My most irrational fears are clowns and prawns (yes...prawns...eh)

    Heres a list of funny fears to give you a laugh.

    Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
    Anablephobia- Fear of looking up
    Barophobia- Fear of gravity
    Chaetophobia- Fear of hair
    Chronomentrophobia- Fear of clocks
    Dextrophobia- Fear of objects at the right side of the body
    Geniophobia- Fear of chins
    Ideophobia- Fear of ideas
    Kathisophobia- Fear of sitting down
    Lachanophobia- Fear of vegetables
    Mnemophobia- Fear of memories
    Octophobia- Fear of the number 8
    Nomatophobia- Fear of names
    Ostraconophobia- Fear of shellfish (aaaaaah prawns!)
    Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th
    Phobophobia- Fear of fear
    Selenophobia- Fear of the moon
    Stasibasiphobia- Fear of walking


    and now the funniest

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words

    How ironic! haha!

    My most normal ones would be spiders, snakes, and car accidents. The most irrational I think are elevators and clowns. I think being afraid of clowns is pretty common though.

    I'm scared of tasting something I don't like. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I just cannot try new things. I'm nowhere near as bad as I used to be - when I was younger, I refused to eat anything other than mashed potato.. :p. - but the weird thing is, I love food. Well, the food I like. I just get panicky if I think I might have to eat something I won't like. Or if I try something nasty, it quite often makes me physically sick :shock:. I know it's psychological, but try telling my stomach that!

    Philantrothy and sickandtired I don't think we have flying cockroaches or lizards over here so I don't fear them....but If I had one flying at my face I am sure I would run in the opposite direction

    xxx, I have the same thing, I can't eat or drink anything I don't like, or think I won't like, it makes me feel terrified that I will be sick!

    I'm terrified of spiders and cockaroaches, but I also harbor a fear of rejection and failure.

    I'm terrified of spiders and also I get nervous everytime I step over a kerb incase I fall over. Not quite a phobia but a fear all the same!
