I don‘t have any phobias. So I opted for this book because I think it would be fun to look through. (All images from the interwebs)

Yuki_Onna 😱 OMG... Creepy as **** 3y

AmyG 😂 I will NOT be stacking this book. 3y

Read-y_Picker Yeah good idea and GREAT book!
I used to be so scared of clowns. I can't remember ever reading about them but not sure it would bother me now. 3y

wanderinglynn @AmyG @Yuki_Onna You were at least curious enough to click the spoiler tag! (And that‘s why I put the spoiler tag on it!) 😆😆😆 (edited) 3y

wanderinglynn @Read-y_Picker I don‘t care when mundane things, like clowns or dolls, are used in a horror context (e.g., Chucky), but I don‘t have a phobia of them. It‘s creepy but doesn‘t scare me. 3y

This took a lot of thought. Like, heights aren‘t really a problem for me, as long as I CAN‘T see my possible pathway to the ground. So, airplanes and I‘m not next to the window? Totally fine. An overlook balcony of a particularly tall skyscraper? Absolutely not.

Side-note, but this book seems like a truly terrible idea. 😆

BookmarkTavern @Clwojick Me too! 🤣 5y

Karkar I used to say heights before I figured out it was really falling that I was scared of. 😱 5y

I wish I could take more of a Charlotte‘s Web stance on spiders, but nope I am totally afraid of them.

This is especially for Esther. 🦆

DuckOfDoom I am really curious about the backgroundstory of this phobia. It seems that at least multiple people seem to suffer from it, because so many people know about this phobia 6y

ladym30 Very interesting!🧐 6y

Lindy @DuckOfDoom I found this online: “It is a fictional, humorous phobia that was first coined by Gary Larson in his popular Far Side cartoons. It became popularized by Tammy Duffey in 2008 when she associated it with the Aflac insurance company duck.”

Lindy @DuckOfDoom I agree that some people might have this fear. I have a grandniece who is frightened of animals. She says she doesn‘t like them looking at her. 6y

Lindy @ladym30 😁 6y

julesG 😂😂😂😂 6y

DuckOfDoom @Lindy oh I didn't know it was a made up phobia! 6y

Dear #friYAYintro littens and @jess.how,

I didn't know what trypophobia was, so I googled it. That was a bad decision and now I'm really uncomfortable and freaked out.

I hate you all (not really).
💜 GondorGirl

ChicaReads You got me curious. 7y

Ash.on.the.line Oh no! I put that in my post and debated on putting a google warning! 😧 seriously don't do it! 7y

howjessicareads Lol! Oh no!!!! Is it weird that I kind of want to google now?? 7y

GondorGirl @Ash.on.the.line You weren't the only person who put that as their answer. I should have known better then to Google. 😅 I'll certainly never look that up again! 7y

Ash.on.the.line @GondorGirl yeah I definitely avoid it! 😅 @jess.how if you don't mind tiny repeating holes but it's unsettling for sure! (Think tiny honeycombs) 7y

emily_m_tubb I put that as my fear too... I don't know why Google has to put images up first! Why not a nice little Wikipedia definition?! 😂 7y

Sace I just Googled as well and there seemed to be a lot of photoshopped type images that were simply meant to disturb. But a lot of naturally occurring uneven patterns/holes are cool. I'm thunking plants, wasps nests etc. 7y

Sace *thinking (really autocorrect? How often is "thunking" actually used by anyone?) 7y
