Thuy, Vietnam
Yes, I have one phobia. I scare of being alone in the dark. Being alone in the dark makes me feel dangerous and isolated with other people. Whenever I am in the dark, I always turn the light on and feel better.

Magantun, Spain
I used to be afraid of darkness years ago. I faced it sleeping in semi-darkness and now it's gone.

Krisztina, Hungary
Yes I have a phobia of cockroaches. Sometimes when I see one, pink spots appear on my breast! Recently I have also developed a fear of bridges, when I walk on one I start to feel very dizzy, and have that ominous feeling, my soul will fly out of my body - I know it sounds very odd. Actually i believe everyone should first face the fear to solve it. Personally once I took a cockroach in my hands (I realized there is nothing so bad about it). And also, I often walk on bridges....so it's in progress!!:)

Ayano,Japan
I have phobia of insects!! Once I find them in my room, I can't sleep all night. That's why I clean up my room always.

Kate, Taiwan
I am scared of a lot of things. However, nothing can be scarier than a cockroach. Every time I take a bath, I always see a cockroach on the wall. I scream out loudly, and then my mom comes in and washes it away with a lot of water. I really hate this ugly disgusting creature.

Lila, Vietnam
I am really scared of fire. I can't handle even using a lighter i.e.when I am asked to light candles.

Tereza, Czech republic
I am very scared of dogs and my fear has been bigger since a dog bit me some years ago. Problem is that in our country almost everyone love dogs so beeing scared of them is unbelievable.

Prado, Brazil
I've got a phobia. I hate unpolite people. Mainly those ones which are polluting the enviroment.

Nana, Ghana
Oh my word! I just cant stand snakes.

Elise, Russia
I can't stand the insects!Any spider, beetle, worm, cockroach is make me feel a disgust.It's really awful when they are next to me. Another my fear is the mouse.I realise that they are small and sometimes quite charming, but when they next to me there is happen something inexplicable. the internal panic and horror are make me escape.

Lily, India
Fear is a natural factor and I have phobia of honeybees whenever i hear bumbling of bees fear strikes from everyside and i am terrified i really don't know what to do.

Michel, France
I think that everybody have some scares but the scares are not inevitably phobias. With regard to this question, I'm scared of heights or more exactly of precipices. When I walk along a cliff, I'm attracted by the heights. In this case, I think quickly and I step back. My mind is confused, I sweat and my pulse begins to beat quickler with adrenalin. Fortunatly, it only lasts a minute.

Maryam, Iran
yes i have one phobia ,this is forest.I search about that,then I found due to I scare from being in larg of people I always scare of forest.

Doll
yes, i have got a lot of phobias to the extent that i dont know which one of them affectd me the most, you know i had the phobia of animals, hights, naroww places, bieng alone, etc, i have suffered all these phobias for some time . but what i am doing and isisting to do right now is to overcome, cope with and remove all my phobias by firstly, faith in god and socendly to think clearly about the things that scare me and thirdly to tell my self that i am strong enough to face my trobules and i will stop bieng afraid of any thing in the world.

Alice, Malaysia
i am a phonophobic - I abhor noises and it is a shame to say that i even feel uncomfortable talking with people especially when i detect note of sarcastism, scepticism or any sort of negative emotions that make me feel out of place. I could go berserk when someone, especially my loved one raises his voice at me. more often, i try to avoid any chance to have someone raised his voice to me by staying calm, most of the time with fear simmering below me. When i burst out, the situation could looks pretty out of control. you do know how words could hurt....perhaps it comes from my childhood memories or even now since my father, who has a thunderous voice, often bawls at my mum.That is a lousy feeling to anyone.

Diana,
I feel afraid of frogs. I think it is ridiculous but I can't avoid feel terrified if one of this animals are closed to me.

Huong My, Vietnam
oh my god..the most scary and digusting animal existence is snake. I would be fainted if i see one.

Holly, South Korea
I'm terrified whenever I face with any types of cockroach. I can't stand their legs, wings, or any movement. They even can move amazingly fast. Oh, my gosh.. I'm frightened again only by imaging.ă… oă… 

Conket, Vietnam
Like no other, I'm afraid of being deceived. Deceit is something that is very terrible to me. I can easily forgive someone who is ignorant, miserly, or selfish, but It's hard for me to forgive a deceiver.

Ket, Vietnam
I must say that I'm scared of horror films though I confess that I like watching them :). Every time I watched a horror movie at night, I always turned on all the lights in my house because I was afraid that there would be something like a ghost, a monster..in the dark. It is film about ghost, God, devil that makes me frightened the most. Despite that fact, I still like watching horror films and I won't deny if someone invites me to go watching a new horror blockbuster.

Mary, Panama
Im scared of precipices. Everytime I am in a car near a precipice and we need to turn back on the road, I have to get out of the car and wait until the person drive the car in order to continue our way back.

Mr. Questions, Asking Questions Country
May I know what is claustrophobic? And what do you call the phobia which is scare for height? As in i think claustrophobic is like something that means scare of the dark right? so what about scare of heights? What are they called?

Cheong, Hong Kong
I feared that my height would not grow tall beacuse I was quite short when I was a child. I feared I could not passed a final examination to get a certificate because a bad memory when I was a student. I feared I would never get married beacuse I did not have got enough smart, handsome and money when I loved a girl. Life is really strange and interesting. My height is an average. I have graduated. I also got married ten years ago. Many things I greatly feared but in fact did not happen. I just feared I would near die because my health condition is serious and it will need surgery. I hope this is my fear only.

Andrew, Hong Kong
I'm sort of a introverted person, so may I described myself as a "peoplephobic" ? :P (Or I would say I'm lone wolf) I really enjoy being alone and is bothered by crowds of people.....It's a little bit weird, isn't it ? :P

Thanh, Vietnam
when a child, i was scared of ghost. i thinked i couldn't forget it;but i was wrong. At this time, i'm not scared of ghost. So justnow i don't know what can make me scared!!!

Azam, Scotland

Ei shwe, Myanmar
Yes, I am afraid of darkness specially the ghost. I am really scared to watch ghost movie. When I watched scary movie, I used to cover my eyes with pillow. Therefore, I watch only half of the movie..

Thienloi, Vietnam
I do not know whether I'm scared of height or not . I remember when I was young, my favorite game is the climbing the tree to get the flower or juice . But when I finished my university and started to do maintenance job, I found my heart beat faster in height . Even when I use one short ladder,my feeling is still not easy. Everyday I must do cope with it and try my best to prevent the troubles happen . God bless me.

Brazil
I have a phobia of the injection. When child. I had a strong inflammation in the throat. I needed many injections

Slava, Moscow
Yes, I have one. In two mounths my boyfriend will go to Canada to study in MBA school and will leave my for two years. And I'm afraid to stay alone so much. So, I have a phobia of loneliness.

Daniele, France
I got so many phobias in the past that I can't remember which was worse. May be phobia of earthworms to start when my brother used to pursue me with one of these creepy-crawly, then that carried on with open spaces, enable to cross an open space.....and I don't tell of fear of heights. I also can't swimm. I think I had'nt be reassured enough in my childhood and I would add that we can learn to overcome that with other people contact, with somebody's love, getting day after day confidence in oneself.

Bahij
yes , i have got phobia , and i scared from some insects . and i coping that fears by run away far from that place where the insect founded.

Elvy, Spain
I've been really afraid of grasshoppers since I was a child; because when I was about four, one of them jumped towards me and landed on my nice dress. Although two teenangers, who were walking in the street at the same time, threw it away; it came back to me and kept being on my thigh until my granny killed it definitively when I got home. I can't stand them at all. If I saw a grasshopper I'd scream and jump backward at once. I've already tried not to be so frightened of them, but they're so disgusting...

Petra, Slovakia
Yes of course. I am scared of darkness since my childhood and I could not asleep without light on :)

Elena, Siberia, Russia
I have got a phobia of enclosed spaces. I think the only thing can help people like me is guillotine - ))) because it is impossible to treat !!! When I am in the plain I pray God , after every flight my heart is in pain.I suppose every flight shrinks my life.I hate to be inside the elevator for the same reason , I would rather walk upstairs.I think walking will actually help me to live longer.As you can see those different events are balancing my life.

Maryam, UAE
I have got phobia of scared horror faces similar to those displaying in movies. Also, I've got phobia of wild animals that eat meats like lion, tigher.

Lamerx, Vietnam
It sounds funny that I'm scared of getting photos of myself. I don't want to look at my photos 'cause I look ugly in them and I feel embarrassed about them.

Beatriz, Argentina
I think I don't have any phobia but I have some common fears. Luckily I can cope with them.

Aseni, Dominican Republic
I am only afraid of politic that perform practical jokes to my country letting the people without work, food or education.

Marti, Spain
When i was a child I used to be scared of darkness so my mother left a small bulb turned on all night long. Now I'm much older but darkness still frighten me so I normally leave the courtains open so that I can get some light from the street lamps.Unfortunelly I can't cope this phobia.

Liliana, Colombia
I am scared of the rats. I think so that is genetic because my mother has the same phobia.

Andrea, Brazil
I've got phobia of mask. I know it sounds strange for everyone that I mention it but I can't control myself when I see someone wearing a mask I fell scared and my body starts to shake, I just can think about how to get out of the place. for so many times I start to shout and then to run as fast as I could. I really think that we should respect and never make a joke whit the others phobias.

Luis Garcia, Spain
I don't usually feel phopias of anything. But once, I had been working a lot for several weeks and lacked sleep, and then I finished the work, I got into a real terrible anxious state, and then I really felt bad. I got claustrophobia, but also I was afraid of open air. I had to sleep a lot and was anguished all the time. I didn't feel like eating anything. I couldn't take a train or a bus and traveling by car made me nervous. I felt as I was about to get a panic attack at any moment. It was a terrible experience. Fortunately it wore away little by little, but until two months later I didn't feel really fine. Since then I sometimes feel a little scared when I am about to get onto a train, knowing that I won`t be able to get out of it for several hours or even minutes. But then, I get that idea far from my mind and overcome it.

YPW, Sweden
I have been scared of a dog since it bitmy mother in the leg.

Majid, Iran
First,we should draw a distinct line between phobia and fear.While there is always something logical for fear there is no obvious reason for having a phobia.To me,being confronted with a big dog has always been frightening .Perhaps my mind play trick with me by exaggerating the danger of a dog ,but I do have some good excuses to rationalise my feelings.

Sebastiana, Spain
I am scared of talking in public. If I know I have to do it I start to sweat and get nervous. I try to get over, rehearsing, anticipating the situation in order to dominate it. It's probably a question of a lack of self-confidence

Amal, Pakistan
There was a time when i have spent 4to5 years in phobia of number 13,but you know what actually happened to me,is that i lost my job and most ideal guy as my life partner who has even the abilities to call up the happiness in the deep darkness of dismal.Now it comes to me that all these fears are nothing but the ways of loosing our achievements,so i think we should ignore such phobias to win the game of life.

Beatrix, France
I'm scared of attack, I feel fear when I take subway or I go to the airport

Yayi, Canada
I was agoraphofic which is practicaly scared to everything most of the time I used to live on fear I have had to work to overcome, and I'm still working

Sandy, Vietnam
I'm very afraid of mouse. It's terrible. I can't stand seeing it, even its picture. I don't know when I started to be freightened of mouse, but I know I will be scared of it forever.

Michelle, Korea
I am scared of heights as Alice. It makes me nervous whenever I stand up in high place. In fact, I can't stand up properly even not moving. Sometimes it quite bothers me, but this is better than scary of being lonely or small spaces, I think. Because I hardly ever put in the high space where I am scared.

Yangbae Lee, Korea
Way to cope with my fears.I would like to use the famous quote from Franklin Roosevelt, "Fear All, for Anything Bad is Possible". It;s given me the principle that guides my life. At first, Trying to fear less. Instead of spending all time worrying about what might happen, or what could happen we should focus on the cards we're dealt. I think that is a basic theory.Fight fears anxiety and phobias and improve self confidence!

Suleiman, Syria
Oh.. did she Slapped him ? no no even if I have a phobia, I won't allow myself to collapse in front of any girl.By the way, I have a phobia it's fear of germs. like spend fortune on cleaning and sterilization materials, non-use of common tools, wash my hands about 30 times a day, etc. but many people around me they don't know that. ok Dr Laver!!!

Lan, Vietnam
like almost people, I also have a phobia.I'm scared of high speed of anything. When someone takes me for a ride with a high speed, I'm really feel frightened of accident. Also with a Roller Coaster.

Petra, Czech Republic
I'm scared of spiders, I can bear just those teeny tiny ones. But I don't think it's necessary to cope with it, because luckily, theres always somebody to take care of it:)

Rishabh Poonia, India
I've not got any phobia but I'm scared of mouses.I don't like their tail and I have creeps when I see them.On the other side,I am not afraid of the spiders and the number 13 instead I am afraid of getting out on the score 17 in cricket.You can call it nervous tens.

Thierry, France
HI :-)I don't think to have phobia, I don't like spiders but not untill to be a phobia. I'm very happy by that !

NgocHa, Vietnam
Luckily, I have no remarkable and serious phobia except bad marks in school. I extremely hate getting low grades and always try my best to minimize the chance of them to ruin my life . However,like almost all of students, sometimes unexpectably I recieve bad marks and teacher comment which make me sad and dispointed in myself all day but this state doesn't last long . Ha ha^^ maybe you should consider me an extreme nerd.

Jean Marie, France
Spiders! I'm so scared of them that I used to ask my wife to get rid of it when it happens that one was slowly moving on the slippery bathroom walls. Copping with this phobia is quite a long task. I try to be an adult and relate this fear by any means, isn't it any positive aspect in this repellent thing? Anyway flies are killed by them...I'm getting better, I needn't scream any more in the bathroom, I remove them myself. But I hold, they are really disgusting, aren't they?

Reza, Iran
I am scared of spider,snakes and trapping in the lift but except of Dr Laver i cope with fears and i think this isn't phobia.It depend on state of a person

Anastasia, Russia
I think everyone has some fobias. And me too. I am scared of being lonely and I attend different evening courses to avoid it. And moreover i think it's very funny fear the number 13.:)

Maha, Pakistan
I always feel fear of my near future,and the credit goes to my parents,an unmatched couple who can think just about their self creatad problems and dont think that they have a child who feels fear inspite of their so-called shelter.now being optimistic i hope that one day will come when i will be a most confident gal of the world.

Mark, Russia
I don't have any real phobia. But sometimes I get to be a bit scared of different "life" situations. For example, a fear to be sacked or to have lost money, anxiety about relatives or friends. And then usually I persuade myself that I'm strong fellow and if whatever were I'd cope with it.

Valentina, China
Yes, I do! I'm scared of heights, too, especially when I'm looking down to the ground from a high building or mountain. I'm also scared of insect. They are creepy!

Ana, Spain
During my life I´ve been scared about differents things like lifts and dogs for exemple, but with the time I´ve been able to get over all my fears . But , I have a very big problem with cars , I´m amoxophobic . Amaxophobia is a phobia about driving . I have my driving license since 1989 ; I got it because I needed it but, I haven´t never liked to drive. I live in a little town that in not easily accessible by public transport . When I got my driving license I bought also a little car and I started going some places by car , but gradually I gave up driving and at least I gave away the car . Now I´m not able to drive and I´m frightened when I go by car anywhere . I know that I must overcome this problem because the car nowadays and in my town is necessary but it isn´t easy . Maybe one day ...
