xenophobia, as many have mentioned before.\n\nIf it is the little green men you are afraid of however, I think that is simply paranoia, with possible dillusional tendencies.

If you are talking about phobias, there are way too many, it is impossible to discuss in here. I am sending a list of phobias, pick the ones that you are interested in for your paper, write the name on a search engine, i.e yahoo, goggle and see what comes up.\n\nGood luck\n\nhttp://www.phobialist.com/

You have a phobia that can be worked out in DBT therapy. You could use an English language refresher course as well!

The American Heritage Dictionary on Yahoo! defines phobia as\n"A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous." It is a form of anxiety disorder.\n\nAn American study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that between 8.7% and 18.1% of Americans suffer from phobias. Broken down by age and gender, the study found that phobias were the most common mental illness among women in all age groups and the second most common illness among men older than 25.\n\nThere are three types of phobias:\n\n* social phobia - fear of other people or social situations;\n\n* specific phobias triggered by a specific object;\n\n* agoraphobia or fear of everything. \n\nI have a fear of heights which developed at an early age.

What scares you about it? It isn't normal but you're not weird either!\nThere are phobias for everything else so why not!? There's probably a scientific name for this one too!

I have a fear of clowns, seriously deathly afraid if I see one in person. I know it has an official name, but I don't know what it is.

There is nothing weird about being afraid of anything in particular, and no matter what you might be afraid of, its unlikely that you are the only person.\n\nI've just googoed 'phobia belly button' and found out that your fear is named omphalophobia, and that it is apparently 'very rare' - biut not so rare that it dfoesant have a name!\n\nI'm sure you can find out more if you google omphalophobia......\n\nhttp://encycl.opentopia.com/term/Omphalophobia

It does not sound like a logical fear to me.  Then again this is coming from a guy scared of heights.\n\nPerhaps you are scared that they are going to enslave you with their religion.  The best way to overcome this fear is probly knowing more about how and why people join cults.  Once you know how to avoid being brainwashed you woln't have to fear looking them in the eyes and telling them they are wrong.

Lots of people are afraid of clowns  the phobia is called Coulrophobia- there are a lot of sites that advertise treatments for this fear so it may be fairly common.\n Some years back there was a convention of clowns  near where I lived and there were 100s of them running around  the local mall shopping during a break in the  convention and even though I'm not afraid of clowns it was pretty freaky.

Arachnophobia- (Fear of spiders) \nBatophobia- (Fear of heights or being close to high buildings)had this before 9/11\nPteromerhanophobia- (Fear of flying) afraid of the crash and burn thing. \n\nAny of the above I'm terrified of. I stay away from cities with tall buildings (I live in the country) and I don't fly. \n\nBut the spiders???? Just typing the word makes my skin crawl. We live in a hundred year old house, with cracks and lots of places for spiders to hang out. I won't go down into the cellar because I know there down there. With the summer coming, I know there is going to be much more in my house. I'm getting some Spider Killer spray, which you just spray at them and they shrivel. Even doing that freaks me out and I want to run. I'm already nervous about it. \n\nThe thought of one crawling on me drives me out of my mind.  The other night, my husband and I were sitting talking, when all of a sudden a spider was crawling down the front of his shirt. I almost went through the roof. He said, "You almost gave me a heart attack". He knows my fear, and I try not to react like I do, but it freaks me out every time. I hate to kill them; after all they are God creation. I wish there was a little spider trapper thing, which you could suck them up with and then blow them back out side. They’re good for catching other insects and maintaining the insect population, but I just don't want them in my house. Imagine if there were no spiders at all, how overpopulated we would be with other insects?  Thank you God.

Many things: Bees (any kind), fire (since I was in a house fire) spiders (any kind) got bit by one 1 time, to fly in an airplane, afraid to drive a car, afraid to go in water past my waist (I almost drowned when I was 5) afraid to speak in front of a lot of people {getting better at that) afraid to be in a crowd of people I don't know. As you can see I am afraid of many things. Probably more but that is all I can think of for right now. What are you afraid of?
