[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]i can totally understand all of the above

Yea I get uncomfortable talking to them too... I think it's just weird because you expect a man to act like a man... and when they are overtly gay they don't act that way so it throws you off.

Saying that i'm decently comfortable around my girlfriends gay friends now...

It's pretty well unavoidable in this rather pathetic world

i can totally understand all of the above

i cant lol

first of all how can women have a phobia of childbirth o maybe its the pain your scared of and therefore have a phobia of pain

Naj im sure a psychologyst could make a lot of money treating you lol

the reason someone is phobic with something is mainly due to them associating it with something undesirable or maybe due to genetic, to cure phobia there are a range of therapies hypnotherapy, aversion therapy, systematic desentisisation , cognitive therapy are the main ones

Naj maybe if you list all the reasons why you fear something e.g.mice,insects,clowns,childbirth, then logically work out how it can harm you, next step confront your fear then overcome your fear.
you fear hell- alhumdullah - so should we all
fear of height tends to be genetic and the hardest to cure
fear of death and floods are sensible fear as long as you dont excessively fear them
homophobia- is also understandable since its unnatural and disgusting

has anyone heard of omrowphobia when you fear all things stupid lol

I have aversions and complexes but I couldn't pick a phobia from the Time (ftr) list.

For a laugh I want to answer something like proctophobia but I guess it's pretty big and not to be sniffed at. 😉

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"] Mr Admin has a fear of human contact[/quote]

I agree.

I get irritated when there are loads of people closeby.

And also if they touch me. keep your distance.

I understand, im not homophobic but just the idea of homosexuality used to annoy me

But whilst at university i had a freind who i was quite close to, and i didnt mind teaming up with her to do projects and presentations...in the final year she told me she was lesbian and introduced me to her partner....it didnt bother me at all and i still worked with her like before

I have a phobia of growing old

Lol-they have a name for everything.

I have a touch of gamophobia…and occasionally extreme glossophobia.

I definitely have atychiphobia…and I’m sure every girl has lockiophobia.

[quote="Omrow"]Wahhabophobia.[/quote]

So your phobia is understandable.

Im not the only one.......i know people that have got bare phobias than me,on telly they showed a lady with a orange phobia lol

Raf i dont need therapy thank you.

hypnotherapy, aversion therapy, systematic desentisisation , cognitive therapy :? im not with you

I dont really wanna work around my fears as its impossible and am working to live by them.., its not as though i have to face them on a day to day basis anyway but i cant possibly think of overcoming the fear of mice and insects esp..

childbirth like muslimsis said i think is a phobia every lady carrys....and my fear of heights aint genetic.

It good to see so much people suffer from phobias

which means a psychologyst could make alot of money treating you twisted

'phobias start in the mind and can be defeated in the mind'
Raf786(2006)

there was a study carried out by albert bandura in 1966
procedure
in which he used a baby and every time the baby touched a white cotton wool , bandura would bang a drum really loud next to the baby therefore making the baby scared- this was done a number of times

findings
The baby would get scared and cry when seeing the wool, also the baby had a fear of mice, paper and rabbits as they were all white

conclusion
Bandura had created a phobia in the baby of white , as the baby had associated white objects with the loud noise. Therefore proving phobias are all psychological and due to association

Although this study was valuable in learning about phobias it proved to be unethical as the babys phobia of white objects carried on to their later life
