necrophobia

To the extent that I can play with live spiders but dead ones terrify me. Dumb, I know.

Only in certain situations though. I can go see dead things in a museum just fine.

also

thanatophobia
agoraphobia (has become much better now that I realize it is based on sensory overload)
a shade of scoptophobia

But none of these are severe so I'm not sure the term "phobia" is warranted. They're just things that I

I don't know if these go along with phobias but I'm afraid to go out at public places but I still do it. I have a fear of authority figures, people who talk too fast, spiders, trucks, loud noises, biker men, paperwork, criticism, and some other things. Oh and not to mention, those clowns. :clown:

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia the fear of long words... well not really, I just always thought it was cool

Anyway, I am not entirely sure that I am even capable of feeling fear... I don't have any recolection of ever being afraide of anything

Is there a fear of not being able to feel fear?

Claustrophobia (Only in places crowded with people, like elevators. I am fine in small places if I am alone)
Arachniphobia
Fear of needles, syringes, ect (Dunno what this is called, but I have it horribly, took 4 or 5 people to restrain me when I needed a blood test when I was 13, I am 15 now and I doubt they will do it again, hopefully.)
