Visiosubrideophobia (fear of smiles)

I recommend you play the roblox game of the same name, very scary

Still does count not as a phobia, more like anxiety

Everyone’s talking about phobias they don’t have but I actually have a really weird phobia
this is completely unique to me as far as I know
i am afraid of padded seats
its not a straightforward fear either its got a bunch of really weird rules like for example

  1. The more padding, the worse.
  2. The dirtier it is, the worse. (this one makes it really hard for me to sit down in places like public transit and restaurants)
  3. (This is a big one) I will not touch any rips the seat might have. I will go to great lengths to avoid doing so, and pick a seat with no rips if possible.
  4. Vinyl seats are significantly worse than seats made of other materials.
  5. If the following conditions are met:
    a) The seat in question is located at someone’s house, not in public
    and
    b) Their house is relatively clean,
    the phobia will basically not be present at all

Sitting on a padded seat that breaks one or multiple of these rules feels like attempting to sit on a chair made of spiders and requires me to psyche myself up.

Most of the phobias on this thread are fake, but there is one called trypophobia which is real and surprisingly common (16% of people have some degree of trypophobia). It is the fear of small clusters of holes or bumps. For example, this picture of a strawberry might trigger an anxiety attack for someone with an extreme case of trypophobia.

Strawberries are fine to me but one time I saw this image of a hand with a bunch of holes in it and I didn’t touch the internet for the rest of the day

I saw that photo. I shut everything off and went to bed right after.

from your pfp its the fear of a duck watching you somewhere

which is really weird ngl like why tf would you be scared of a duck? They’re barely a foot tall lol

ok sorry for bump but there’s this weird thing with me and i’m not sure exactly what triggers it, but basically when people go into detail talking about medical things (more particularly painful ones, i can’t exactly pinpoint it) i start to get physically weak and tired and sometimes very itchy

if someone could figure out if this a phobia or not or what it is if it isn’t a phobia would be nice

you could also send articles or just examples to see if they trigger it
