I can’t touch cotton wool. It’s the texture of it.

Clowns.....creepy things. Ugh

I think it's not being able to see the face, plastered in facepaint what are they trying to hide.

I need to see faces, I like to see someones eyes.

Clown are just wrong and go against the natural order.

Ive got Trypophobia if i see a crumpet it makes me sick or skin under a microskope, the underside of a mishroom with all the fins, lop of a lotus flower head,

If holes are perfectly spaced like wire mesh or the head on a watering can it doesnt effect me but in a order like the top of a crumpet it makes me throw up.

Very odd and hard to live with

Bobbly bits ..... lots of little things gathered together ..... difficult to explain but I know it when I see it - and if they move it absolutely turns my stomach and sets me on edge.

I used to be really bad when it came to cotton wool, but after having kids, I forced myself to touch it, still cringe when I do, but not as bad.

The other phobias I have are not strange I'm afraid, well I don't think so

heights, staircases, lifts, escalators, small spaces. I'm great to go shopping with, honest

I used to work with a girl who had a fear of irregularly spaced holes - and now I know what it's called!

OK, slightly weird. I hate my feet, nobody touches them, but me, to trim and paint. But over the last two days, I've released how much hubby likes his feet being touched by mine . Only took me, 12 years of marriage to notice lol.

But when you have a phobia of a certain area, it's difficult to use it.

Cotton wool is the fucking devil. I hate that shit. Had to do an activity at work with the kids - make a background for a giant rainbow. Kids wanted to glue cotton wool to the card. I swore, I nearly through up. I couldn’t even look at it. Kids complaining that cotton wool is stuck to them...ugh gives me shivers just thinking about it

No phobias. I hate feet. I hate cotton wool. I hate tcp. I detest spiders. But it's not enough for any of them to be phobias. I don't think I'm wired that way.

Telephone calls. I can just about cope with them these days but still the thought of someone phoning me makes me really anxious.

Her is terrified of clowns, to the point we would have to cross the street in order to avoid one. She's not keen on fish either.

I have this weird urge to jump whenever I'm at height, the doctor said it is a counterintuitive symptom of a fear of heights. The ironic thing is heights give me a buzz and I've never been bothered by them.

Even with close friends and people I know well. Phone calls just make me anxious as fuck.

Dunboyne & Dublin

Rats!

Ever since I watched The Avengers as a kid, with the giant white rat in the London sewers that ate people, I've fucking hated them!

Then one night our Yorkshire terrier had a rat but it had the terrier by the cheek. The problem was, the Yorkie had trained our rottweiler to rat. The rottweiler was trying to get at the rat but almost killing the terrier in the process! The squeals and yelps were unreal. Instinct took over and I jumped in and stamped the rat to death, to protect the dogs from the rat and each other, more than anything else. Next day I went out to bin the dirty bastard and I'd say I'd stomped the rat at least a foot into the ground!

Wouldn't say it's cured my phobia but I'd take the bastards on again a lot quicker.

Sorry for the rant.
