I have my little fears of things here and there, but I can't really think of any proper phobias, ie irrational fears.

[Nicole8188]

I don't think I have any.

Yes, I'm hardcore and not afraid of anything.

I have a phobia of skin-skin contact with most people, mostly ones i don't know. it's not on that list, they only have "fear of being touched" although that's probably the same.

Weirdo...

Come to think of it, I have a fear of fast food. And plastic bags, I fear they're the downfall of the earth.

That doesnt sound like you have any phobias. Being uncomfortable is different then having a huge fear that makes you take extreme steps so you wont confront it
