Yesterday I remembered that old style (like 1940s) doctors, dentists, surgeons and insane asylums might be the most creepiest thing ever.
I can't find any good enough pictures to explain what I mean, but yeah..

Yeah because I have no idea what you mean.
Except for Joseph Mengele; he's a creepy doctor in the 1940s and let's not forget about Unit 731 (but that's obviously not what you meant).

I don't know if you're being sarcastic.

Also I googled Unit 731.
I shouldn't've googled that.

Haha, no you shouldn't have! I'm almost mean enough to tell you other WWII incidents you shouldn't google, but I'll let up.

Wait, but no I really didn't know what you mean. Was I right or something?

I couldn't find any good insane asylum ones.

There's an old dentist room in a museum here, and I can't even go look at it without almost crying.
It's creepy stuff.

I'm not sure what its called, but it's kindof "Hydrophobia", I'm scared of big bodies of water freaks me out and I sortof half panic and have this feeling of dread, like, even in a game, the sight of a big body of water or water that seems like it goes on for a while, an example of this would be like in a game, a small pool of water with a tunnel in it that you couldn't see the other end of would disturb me,

and other than that, i'm not sure if this is a phobia, but I hate bugs, mainly because you never know when one of them could be like, poisonous or carry some disease or something like that

I have the same thing, though mine carries over from a childhood trauma where I horribly stung by a large jellyfish when I was sevenish

You know, it's kind of amusing how quite a bit of the time, you hear about a phobia and just think to yourself "Man, how can anyone be bothered or afraid of that?" and it seems silly.
When your phobia is just as silly and you don't even realize it.

Slightly unrelated but just a thought that occurred while reading Alpherio's post about hydrophobia.

I feel that fear of singing, screaming spatial anomalies is a healthy fear, but that deer-in-headlights paralysis is not. I had to pause both of those videos immediately to copy the links and I still feel super uncomfortable. This is most ridiculously specific phobia I know of.

But seriously, I have a fear of getting ambushed in my own house. Whenever I'm getting some water at 4 AM or something I always bring my baseball bat with me and check all the corners. I don't know if this is an actual phobia or if I'm just super paranoid.

Funny, how the one saying that is also the one who has a picture of the world with its oceans as his avatar.

Small things that are highly aggressive, and pointy/venomous.
Wasps, scorpions, possums, millipedes, assorted rabid animals, etc.

I personally went to find this thread just to say I have found out I have trypophobia. That's a fear of small holes I think. Look it up to get a better image/idea of it if you want.

Gives me the heebies jeebies thinkin' about it.

Alternatively don't look it up because the top image results for trypophobia are scary whether you have it or not

I'm scared of heights, going fast and bugs that fly. Except butterflies. They hella 'dorbs.
A cockroach flying is literally worse than the holocaust.

Why? None of them are venomous and none of them have fangs that can break human skin anyway. They're completely harmless to us.

Shemp, phobias.

They are more often than not illogical but still they persist.
