I only have a generalized social phobia. I suppose I won't dive off the high dive or go on roller coasters, but these really aren't phobias because they aren't debilitating in any way.

I am not afraid of offending people, or making them mad, or the consequences unless they threaten physical harm.

If it is indeed a fear, it is rule related. If an appointment is at a certain time then that's the time I need to be there. I can meltdown on the way if I think I will be late. Even if I say I will be somewhere at a certain time without an appointment, as soon as I realize I will be even a couple of minutes late I start to to panic.

Heights, clowns, and Decrepit old barns and places of that sort...

Is there a scientific term for a phobia towards decrepit old barns or things of that sort?

If you're scared of creepy-looking places, you might enjoy this thread of mine.

Just look at it. I can't say I'm razzemoticophobic, but I can easily understand why someone else might be.

By the way, does anyone have a morbid fear of wombats? Just wondering.

My guess is that in Judaism wombats are considered to be unclean.

I have a lot of fears, but I do not know how many of them are actual phobias.

Heights and tight enclosed spaces probably are phobias. I have spells when I do not like going out and so do not leave the house, but I think these are just related to my fear of social situations rather than an actual phobia, or it would be all the time.

Also I am a little bit scared of nectarines. If I see them in a store I will briefly freeze and stare at them.

Perhaps you just like stimming on them. I do that with bananas sometimes, but usually I am looking for tarantulas.
