Fear of phones?
Started By
I'm irrationally afraid of phones, to the point where I will-not-answer them.
Does anyone else have this fear? or some other, equally rediculous fear?

Terrified. :[ <br /> <br /> I absolutely HATE phones. I pretty much flat out refuse to make a call unless it's to my mom or dad. I don't even really know why.

Strongly dislike phones but not to the extent of phobia.<br /> <br /> Phobias of murky water, mirrors, huge things, and centipedes.

I hate making calls and getting calls. I talk quietly and for some reason I never can understand what people are saying on the other end of a phone, so I absolutely dread any sort of phone call. I will, however, answer numbers I don't know just to see who's on the other end. *shrug* <br /> <br /> I don't have any legitimate phobias that I know of... Oddly enough, I always kind of wanted one XD I knew a guy once who was terrified of empty bathtubs. Absolutely refused to step in one.. I'll keep thinking and see if I can come up with something I'm actually afraid of. >.<

I'm afraid of opening those lift-up-and-pull cans, and mentally disabled people (because of trauma from when I was little, I am not trying to be predudice). But I have been fine with phones, I just tend to mumble a lot when I talk on the phone.

Yup, I'm afraid of phones too. :| I'm not quite to the point where it's a legitimate phobia (there's a lot about telephonophobia on Google), but I have trouble doing just about anything with a phone. Except texting. It's much worse if I'm expecting the call beforehand or if I have to make the call myself.<br /> <br /> It's funny, the fear has kind of come and gone in cycles throughout my life. x3 When I was really young, I just refused to talk on the phone... but I don't remember it being about anxiety so much as stubbornness. For a while I was fine, and now I despise the phone again.<br /> <br /> At least I've gotten over my fears of storms, being alone (I love it now), and daddy leg long legs.
