OCD (fear of losing control). And although I don't suffer from acrophobia, I suffer from what's called "call of the void".

Height and sea. My fear of the sea is even transferable to a frickin game. I can't swim and look for underwater structure in Minecraft, even in peaceful mode.

People, and it gets dismissed constantly. Man up, get over it, it can't be that bad, how silly, it's just social anxiety, etc. I've skipped meals, just because I couldn't go to the store. The idea of a retail job gives me panic attacks.

It's like being arachnophobic, where everyone is the spider, and you've had to deal with it since you had memory.

Really dumb but I have an irrational fear of heights. Like my body physically gets sick and dizzy when up high without any input from my brain.
Paul, it may not be a phobia. It might be a b12 deficiency. I know someone who has to take supplements, and one of her tells that she is getting low is vertigo from heights.

To be fair the best treatment for phobias is to VOLUNTARILY confront them. Getting blind sided or forced into them makes them worse, of course. So as long as your friends didn’t literally drag you along or otherwise coerce you, it might be good.

My heart goes cold whenever I’m outside alone at night. All three at once or it doesn’t even register. I also get vertigo from heights and hate being on balconies.

This one seems pretty bad to handle,hope it doesn't cause you too much inconvenience
Theres this great game called Subnautica, you should try it.
I never finished it
I think this could be included in category of heights too...one thing i don't like is being in high place and looking down
