Pyrophbia for me!

I know its weird but fire scares the Bajeebers out of me.

Considering fire can get out of control really fast if you're not careful? I think it's a perfectly understandable fear. Now, "Arachibutyrophobia" (fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth)... THAT'S a weird fear.

Before reading your last line, I was about to say, "These aren't REALLY your phobias, are they? These are the type of things that most people get nervous about, but not have a breakdown over. o_O"

I think a lot depends on the situation/degree of what I'm recieving. Ex, I said I don't like people touching me... but like... I won't care if it's my mom... XD If it's like some strange person, then I'd be kind of creeped out.

Yes, that's what I mean. Most people would be nervous/creeped out too to be touched by a stranger. But a phobia would be like if the thing in question caused your heart to beat so fast that you start to have a panic. Or like if you start to get so scared that you cry. Basically I think it's a true phobia if it's something you adamantly avoid your whole life, even if it makes it inconvenient on yourself. (However, the situation is somewhat different if it's something you don't come into contact with a lot.)

Anything less and it's kinda normal. i.e. Most people would feel like they would die if they had to speak in public, but they manage through it without a physical breakdown or hyperventilation. On the other hand, a person with phobia of speaking may absolutely refuse to do it under any circumstances, even if it meant losing a huge promotion.

Indeed, but with the increasing number of peanut butter related injuries it is understandable.
