I'm really afraid of laughing gas, sleeping gas, novocane, and pretty much anything else the dentists try to inflict on me.

I don't let them ;) It hurts like crazy but at least I don't get scared....

Chaetophobia. Fear of hair. xD

Nah, I have:
Scolionophobia - Fear of school
Papaphobia - Fear of the Pope
Cynophobia - Fear of Dogs
Papyruphobia - Fear of Paper/Papyrus
Necrophobia/Thantophobia - Fear of Death/Dying
Pathophobia - Fear of Disease

I think that's all...

You're scared of PAPER? Is that why you prefer scanning cheese and your webcam rather than paper? :D

Why dose paper scare you? Scientific reasons or it just creeps you out.

Might be like a synesthetic fear, which I totally understand. I try to avoid touching paper when I'm doing my homework, which is why I love winter - I can pull my sleeve down just far enough to cover the bottom of my hand. I hate the feeling paper gives me.
Love and Light

Here we go.

I'm:

arachnephobic--afraid of spiders
demophobic--afraid of large crowds
ligyrophobic--afraid of loud noises
enetophobic--afraid of needles

I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them off the top of my head.

Crysi: I know what you mean, about the paper. I LOVE the sound of paper tearing, however. And the smell of it burning. Ooooh.

I'm also neurotic, manic-depressive, ADD and a little OCD. I'm lucky too--getting away from my gene pool with just these problems. Whee!

My #1 phobia is of bees, hornets, etc. I've never even been sting, but whenever I'm trapped in a room with on a freak out. I can usually handle it for a while -until they start bombing me. Literally, everyone I know is like, "Why do they keep on flying at your head?" and stuff. Once they star doing that, I usually jump out a run screaming from the room. :D

OMG BEES!!! I HATE'em!!! Galatea really hit the nail on the head with her fears! I HATE needles! They poke me too much (O_o)

I just threw the Papyruphobia in there for fun. I thought it sounded funny!

Nope. I had OCD and ADD in elementary school before every child was diagnosed with ADD and OCD. Besides, I'm neurotic to a point that sometimes it's hard for me to function.

I've decided I'm not arachnephobic. I'm entomophobic. Afraid of creepy crawly things.

Oh and dentophobic--afraid of dentists.
