MY PHOBIA

Reddit asked, “What’s your strange phobia?” Some of the responses:
– “Deep open water. You know when you’re swimming and suddenly the ocean floor doesn’t exist anymore? That.”
– “Seeing something in the water – old pop can, trees, lillipads. Logs at the bottom of a lake, pictures of shipwrecks, and chains leading from docks into dark water make me gag involuntarily.”
– “Shipwrecks kinda freak me out. Something about (a thing) that large being underneath the surface makes my stomach flip flop.”
– “I’m strangely triggered by the face of the Statue of Liberty. Something about its enormous face with those strange closed eyes that are supposed to be open.”
– “Lots of dots together. I’m not afraid of it but it just makes me feel rough.”
– “I get a feeling of intense disgust whenever I see very small clutter (and possibly dirt) in one place.”
– “Moths and butterflies.”
– “I can’t stand escalators!!”
– “Styrofoam. The sound, the feel, the texture… I had to take a glass bottle out of a milk box lined in Styrofoam, and audibly gagged.”
– “Mustard, and knuckle cracking.”
– “I have the fear of sand.”
