What is the "craziest" phobia you have?
I personally only have maybe 2 phobias, one is the fear of flying, I've never flown, and wouldnt have to unless it was urgent. And the other is the fear of being suffocated.
I would say drowning (being out at sea and unable to swim) and roaches (I can't even be in the same room if there is a roach).
I wouldn't call it 'crazy'. I mean, clowns really are creepy and evil, aren't they?
It's no where near a full blown phobia for me, anyway. I'm not going to run and hide if I see a clown, but I definitely don't like being around them.
I'm afraid of spiders and clowns because of childhood incidents. But my weird phobia is unofficially called trypophobia. It's the fear of clusters of holes. Not like a sponge or Swiss cheese, but maybe a sunflower with the seeds in it and, if I can see the pores on my face, I wig out. I did write a Hub about it.
I also have a fear of drowning. Iff anyone even touches me while I am under water I freak out as if they are going to hold me under! My other fears are spiders and of losing control- like if I am high up on some ride at an amusement park I'm afraid that I will suddenly go crazy and jump off!

What was your biggest fear as a child?I had two big fears growing up. One was clowns (traumatic experience, don't ask), and the other one was the blob. As an adult I have an irrational and completely ludicrous fear of something sneaking up on me while I'm in the shower. ...
