    I'm afraid of darkness. I even sleep with (bright) lights on.

    Phobias are psychological in origin, it stands to reason that you can have an aversion to anything so long as you can perceive it.

    I use to have a physical phobia of air. It was called asthma. Now it's called being choked by my training partner.

    But especially pigeons (rats with wings, ew), seagulls, chickens, crows, ravens, peacocks, turkeys, VULTURES...ah forget it, they all scare me except penguins. Unfortunately I rarely encounter those anyway.
    You are really afraid of all those birds?? I would be afraid too, but of only certain ones. I am afraid of them flying above my head because they have pooped on my head twice before...
    Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.

    I have problems with small spaces. I wouldn't call it "phobia" because it is not out of fear but rather I get agitated when trapped in small spaces.

    I'm the kind who draws away from crowds, especially with a big lot of dumb fans.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    Your condition is called claustrophobia.

    Phobia means fear. All living things have fear.

    If you're talking strictly phobias as in the psychological term. Then it refers to irrational fears, and taken to an extent that it interferes with daily life. Like a fear of heights that doesn't allow people to work in tall buildings. Otherwise yeah, pretty much everyone knows fear, the lack thereof is a criteria of sociopaths.

    I think I have a mild case of claustrophobia.
