Phobia really sucks. Most of the time you don't know why you are scared even though you know u shouldn't. I remember the other day, I cried because of a sound that triggered my phobia. Even though I know it wasn't that and it just sounded similar. Its sooo awful. Took me almost an hour to calm down.
hi! ik this is probably irrelevant but phobias are actually irrational fears of something that people arent scared of normally. it can be caused by some traumatic event or just show up from no where. so yeah, people with phobias don't actually understand why they're scared of that thing. like with me, im scared of large bodies of water, even though ive never been near one 🤷🏻
i have arachnophobia, and i remember the time where i was studying for finals in my room with this table lamp that just had the lamp without anything to cover it. i was reading from my notes when i noticed from the corner of my eye the biggest shadow of a spider ever, which was the spider sitting on top of the lamp. i just sat there paralyzed for what felt like a minute, but was actually close to half an hour. my tears wouldn't stop and i couldn't breathe well. it felt horrible
They do, especially when you have siblings who are like "just kill it, it's not a big deal" which I had to deal with. I have undiagnosed katsaridaphobia (according to my parents), and at one time, I was going to an area in my house (where there was a grated sewage line and I hated being there,) to turn off the gas for our stove after dinner was cooked. It took me a while to muster up a lot of courage to walk past there, and I guess I took a little long because there were two cockroaches crawling all over the floor near the gas and I frantically freaked out in fear and tried to call out my mother's name through an open window but since she and my siblings were talking and laughing too loudly they couldn't hear me. I did eventually turn the gas off and booked, but I bawled my eyes out really hard when I reached the kitchen and it took me minutes to fully calm down.
my phobia is every single fricken bug/insect. It makes it difficult for me to even move in my house (especially in the summer) considering there are ALWAYS bugs everywhere. Ive always hated the summer and my parents don't actually understand what phobias are and that I have many of them. Today I've seen 3 videos on yt of spiders and I flinched so hard and shut my eyes straight away. There have been ads, videos and in real life where I cannot handle seeing one. It literally doesn't even matter what bug it is, i'm still terrified of them.
That guide should get fired. I know that seems extreme, but if someone asks you not to ring a giant bell, they are saying it for a reason. That panic attack could have turned into something way worse. Phobias are no joke. Being subjected to a phobia, especially on purpose, CAN and has killed people before. The guide was an asshole for doing that despite Ike practically begging him not to. Whether he thought Ike was gone or not doesn't matter, he should have waited till Ike was no longer around the church to do that, but even then Ike still would have heard it because church bells are HECKIN LOUD, you can hear it from miles away. This is not to say that the guide should stop his tour and stop doing his job for one person, but the guide should have made sure Ike would be okay if he was going to plan on ringing the bell anyways.
Well that guide prob thought Ike left but what an ass. I get the fear, huge ass bells larger than you that ring at a pitch that makes you shiver (it’s why they use bells in horror movies).
Him seeing the bells in front of him and gaining that deep fear in an instant is exactly like how I found my phobia of butterflies. And when people do the exact thing you beg them not to and pretty much shove it in your 5 senses, the utter betrayal
I'd never hear of a phobia of butterflies. Is your fear triggered by both realistic and obviously fake butterflies? I love butterfly imagery. Most of my favorite jewelry has butterfly motifs. A lot of Lolita dresses/JSKs I want have butterfly motifs. I think their wings are beautiful. But I find real ones terrifying. The few times I’ve convinced myself to go into walk-though butterfly exhibits I’ve had breakdowns inside. (Last time, my cousins rushed through and left me alone. I was lucky that a stranger saw me crying and helped me get out.) I'm unsure as to whether or not I am scared enough for it to be a phobia.
@@kingfrodo8682 The thing is that, while being in a room full of them was terrifying, seeing a few of them outside is not. I also have no reaction to butterflies I know are not real. But from what I've heard, most people with a phobia would react to both a single butterfly and fake butterflies as well. I'll try researching it myself a bit more. But thank you. :)
@@anrowari I also have it, its called "Lepidopterophobia" (fear or butterflies and moths). For me, it doesn't trigger when there is fake butterflies around since 1, i know there fake and 2, they aren't flying (the main trigger of the phobia is their flying from what ive heard). And while i have gotten used to small butterflies flying near me, seeing a butterfly/ moth thats more than 2 inches even 15 ft away from me will make me panic (and i think i would actually run for my life if i ever see a mariposa/ atlas moth cuz... you'll see-) And yes, you are definitely scared enough to have lepidopterophobia, judging from your story and i relate to you. I remember my family and i going in a butterfly sanctuary and i just remember crying so much (that was the time i was very scared of butterflies) to the point even before entering the place and saw two butterflies through the curtain (they used tassel curtains so you could see the whole place) and already wanted to go back outside. And i also still feel a bit guilty for accidentally stepping on an orange butterfly, RIP orange butterfly, i didn't mean it.
I have a really weird phobia and I’ve had it for as long as I can remember. It’s a phobia of buttons. So not specifically buttons on consoles or remote controls, but buttons on clothes. I don’t know why but I can’t wear a single thing with buttons on them because it physically makes me sick. I can’t touch them either. I don’t know why but it just makes me feel really sick, and I legitimately panic if someone tries to show me something with buttons on them or puts one near me.
feel free to not answer this question! I'm genuinely curious about how you go on with your day with your phobia? Since alot of clothes surprisingly has buttons and you can't really control other people around you to not wear them unless you guys are close, how do you avert your attention to something else?. Also what happens if you find a shirt or clothes that you like but it has buttons on it? Can you just like have someone replace the buttons with something that can serve like it? Or can you not since the idea that a button was there is just a straight up no? Sorry if this would seemed rude to ask but I would be really thankful if you answer it!
sorry to add to the other questions, it's just that it is quite uncommon to hear this type of phobia. does this carry over to the ones in asian clothes where it's made of fabric or cord thats in a ball instead of the flat types that are common? or does it include any shape, size and material as long as it's a ball and a loop?
I have a small phobia of wrists, you'd be surprised how many people will try to grab my wrist or stab themselves In the wrist (with like a pen etc) just to get a reaction out of me, it's wild I really feel for ike
YES my gosh what is up with people and trying to trigger you 😭😭 when I was going through the time when my anxiety was through the fucking roof and everything was terrifying to me, the amount of people that would notice me jump and the look on my face, that would then do it again was crazy. Even a few of my friends did..
I hate it when you tell people not to do something because it upsets you in some way and then they immediately do the opposite (regardless whether it's mild or significant in anxiety/discomfort) One time when I was younger a guy at camp pushed me off the flying fox platform when I was harnessed in (I was already begging the instructor to not make me do it) and sent me off I froze up completely while crying and didn't move; they had to get someone to come bring me down because I could not move to unclip the harness Once on the ground I just sat down on the spot and cried silently for the rest of the day 🙃 (I have severe acrophobia but the school I was at didn't care, and they kept it from my mother and I still haven't told her about it)
@@Enikasan-hm2iw Does it? Huh, never thought of it like that I kinda just took it as the guy pushing me (a classmate at the time) being a dick and the staff & teachers doing this funky little thing called ✨ignoring the problem✨ (happens a lot in my experience, most people don't care what you say about a situation, even if there's evidence of discomfort or even fear)
i have tons of phobias with the most severe one being every bug/insect. To be fair I understand that you don't want to tell your mom considering I still haven't told mine but it's for the best. I know it's difficult but therapy can actually help get rid of the phobia if it's serious.
@@yukii021 Ah, I feel like I should clarify Ma knows of my acrophobia (and pretty much most, if not all, of my issues) as she's the main person I talk to about my problems, I just haven't told her about this specific incident (Also can't afford therapy so woooo o(-()
@@Complexicon_of_a_Startist oh, i see. Well it's good that you told your mom about it and you have support for it. I do know there is one thing that really helps for there not to spiders considering I also have this phobia. You can buy these sprays and spray it onto the rims of your walls. If you haven't tried it yet try it NOW. It works perfectly and I haven't seen a spider in my room for a long while. (also its the summer so theres many more bugs/spiders so it really helps). I hope your phobia gets better and have a great day!! 💙💙💙
Reading through all these phobias I’m glad mine is slightly normal I have bug phobia and I’d have psychosis and hear loud buzzing and hated the sound and couldn’t sleep cause I could not tell if the buzzing was real or not when it would happen personally the more I subjected myself to those noises the less it affected me I still hate the sound but I can remain calm and I don’t get such wild symptoms anymore Sometimes phobias are connected to difficult memories so it’s not that your scared of the thing but maybe every time you saw it/heard it in the past something bad would happen so usually the thing is associated with something that’s more of a rational fear
;0; poor ikey! Relatable! I don't have that phobia (bc I have a phobia and its much more intense than my fear of bells), but I really really don't like bells either, especially the noise. everyday during gym I would have to hold my ears for like, a solid minute because the local church bells would freak me out. he's like me For Real. Glad he advocated for himself, even though the guide ended up doing it anyways :/
I also have multiple phobias such as phobias for needles and blood so even the smell of metal can trigger my phobia of blood so I know what it’s like to get panic attacks and I do my best to avoid anything gore related especially in movies which sucks cause I personally like action movies. I used to be worst as a child passing out at a mere drop of blood but now doing better.
As a fellow phobia sufferer (mine's a lot milder than Ike's, but I do get very jumpy around dogs) I'm about ready to throw hands too just hearing about that tour guide
honestly yeah phobias suck and unfortunately there are so many people that are shitty enough to deliberately go against your wishes when you are clearly not handling something well. I have really severe arachnophobia, I know this is a really common fear, but paired alongside my tourettes makes it physically painful to deal with. Seeing spiders or even just thinking/talking of them is enough to make my tics go wild and nearly send me into a panic attack. A lot of my friends who aren't scared of spiders love bringing them near me and trying to put them on me to see my reaction because it can trigger tic attacks along with the panic attacks. I do have one odd phobia though, I have a really bad phobia of wrists, I can't handle anything touching my wrists or seeing things touching the wrists of others. So a few of my friends with terrible coping mechanisms found it funny to pick at scabs on their wrists and leave their sleeves up enough I could always see their wrists and laugh at my reaction. The reaction usually being almost the same as with the arachnophobia, panic attacks and a lot of tears.
Poor Ike 😥 that guy sucks. But speaking of, I happened to see a comment in one of Enna's streams, (but I can't remember for sure which one- it might've been the one where she was making EN in sims) and when it was Ike's turn, I saw someone comment something like "give him bells, Ike looooves bells" and I was like? There's no way there was some miscommunication that Ike loves bells instead of having a phobia so that was pretty horrible of them to even joke about it. So there are people out there who see and know that something makes someone scared or upset and to them it's just a joke. I hope one day that commenter and the guy from Ike's story get a bit of karma 😠
I was afraid of bells as a 3 year old with recurring nightmares of me standing atop of some London looking building with giant bells on the side. Structures that I had not seen or experienced at the time due to my age, yet I knew them like the back of my hand as if I was recollecting memories. The fear is gone now...
I sort of relate to ike here cause I have "Lepidopterophobia" (fear of butterflies and moths. "This type of phobia can cause a person to feel intense fear or anxiety at the sight of any moth or butterfly. Some people with this fear may avoid going outside, or they may have a full-blown panic attack if they encounter moths or butterflies. Others associate butterfly and moth behavior with being attacked or overcome by insects so that the fear is less about being hurt, but more so by being unable to control or escape the environment.") And while i have gotten used to small butterflies flying near me, seeing a butterfly/ moth thats more than 2 inches even 15 ft away from me will make me panic (and i think i would actually run for my life if i ever see a mariposa/ atlas moth cuz... you'll see-) I remember my family and i going in a butterfly sanctuary and i just remember crying so much (that was the time i was very scared of butterflies) to the point even before entering the place and saw two butterflies through the curtain (they used tassel curtains so you could see the whole place) and already wanted to go back outside. And i also still feel a bit guilty for accidentally stepping on an orange butterfly, RIP orange butterfly, i didn't mean it.
Phobias are the freaking worse and I feel so bad for ike bells make a lot noise more then just yelling or noises because that’s what gets me and it’s either I’m gonna have an anxiety attack or panic attack but if someone did that to me I will go off and maybe just maybe throw hands
I have a phobia of loud noise, eyes and getting stared at. I don’t know why, I just do. I “played” a game to get over them and by “played” I mean “I moved forward by one step and immediately started to cry and have a panic attack that almost made my vomit”. My brother had to do it for me. But good on Quildren for warning Ike when a bell was coming up.
I don’t have any phobias besides height, but I do have a lot of texture issues. So here’s one that I find kinda funny Cotton balls. I HATE cottonballs. The way they sizzle when you squeeze them- just- augh- and for some reason I hate the fluffy part. Idk why I just hate cottonballs. I remember I spilled some and had to get my friend to pick them up because I physically couldn’t touch them-
@@NocturnalNovelist this is funny to read now that we know Ike is a massive fan of yoko taro's works and he even had a stream explaining the whole plot of drakengard 1 😆
i also have phobia but its of the sound of clock ticking. i unerstand how bad they are :( i feel so bad for ike because that dude that rang the bell was so rude and a btch honestly.
For people who dont understand, Ike has a phobia of bells called kampanaphobia (from Greek kampana, meaning bell) is the fear of bells. This phobia is commonly triggered by a negative experience with bells, such as getting scared when a bell rings, or getting injured when a person that reacts to bell bumps or knock them over. Symptoms of kampanaphobia include panic, dread, feeling of doom, heart palpations, loss of control, mind and focus, and air hunger. Treating kampanaphobia is relatively easy as it is not an irrational fear. It is treated by peacefully presenting a bell to the sufferer and then ring the bell softly to them, and then ring faster. Or it can teach sufferers all about bells, including its history, uses, and as an icon.
Phobias suck I've got the typical spider phobia and I swear it can be so badly triggered just by the thought, a quick image or just someone talking about them and I could be in the corner having a meltdown from it... my poor parents have to deal with me when I actually interact with a spider, as my mum always says it's like a serial killer broke into the house
Hes like me, Its like how i found out all my phobias. But the 3 i recently found out how afraid i really am of them are heights, loud noises, and moths/mayflies. Heights: i knew i was scared of that, it wasnt in till i went on a 200 foot droptower where i realized how much i was scared Loud noised: I went to a demo derby and my friend screamed in my ear as a prank Moths/mayflies: A person grabbed a few and started chasing me Phobias suck ass, and i know how he feels for something like that to happen
Io penso di avere la stessa fobia. Da quando ne ho memoria ho paura delle campane. In particolare quelle grandi e quelle enormi. Ho paura della loro forma e ho paura del suono di quelle grandi. 😢😢😢
phobias are such a weird human trait, like, we've never encountered this thing, or heard this sound before, but when we encounter it the first time, there's this instinct to feel fear, panic or utter disgust at it.. maybe it gave us trauma in a previous life and stuck with us in the current? PS: I'm quite the avid believer of reincarnation and repeating lives so this is the only theory that I can come up with
It's not a phobia, but I have extreme anxiety when I hear the song "Woman Up" by Meghan Trainor. It's not the song itself i'm scared of, but the memory attached to it. I had a very traumatizing event in my life happen whilst this song was playing. Yea, it sucks.
