I've fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack.
Mary: Adults are, like, this mess of sadness and phobias.
Success is not for everyone, but if everyone had a phobia of failure, success was going to be a common thing.

It's a universal truth that no parent wishes to acknowledge that the fear and phobias we are in thrall to in adulthood almost invariably connect back to childhood experiences.
It's a phobia I have. I never assume I'm going to be able to write another album after I finish one.
Sometimes the complexities of the mind can be intriguing, but the dark side of one’s thoughts can create its own phobias.
My only phobia is untidiness. My hair has to be neatly kept; my shoes are always clean. Everything has to be in a straight line, in its place.
I have this phobia: I don't like mirrors. And I don't watch myself on television. If anything comes on, I make them shut it off, or I leave the room.
I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.
As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there's a great big world to explore out there.
I am whelmed, and not overly whelmed, just whelmed about a lot of facets in life - just how fragile life is and the different challenges you have in life, phobias about things.

In a way, I had a very good and normal childhood. I had loving and caring parents. But I had a lot of quirks or problems when I was growing up. I had phobias and obsessions.
The fear of vomiting, which for me is one of the most original and most acute of my fears, is actually fairly common. Emetophobia, it's called, and by some estimates, it's the fifth most common specific phobia.
I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.
