Algophobia - Fear of pain
I'm scared of getting hurt and often panic over shots even though I'm not scared of the shot itself.

Maybe Cynophobia to an extent. I am scared of almost all dogs. They are over-energetic, very loud, and some are really aggressive. There used to be a dog when I was young that would chase all the neighborhood children.

Fun Fact: Elurophobia is the fear of cats, but I've never met anyone who was scared of cats. It's always dogs.

Lockiophobia  Terrified of childbirth. I've hyped up the experience in my head so badly that I can't even see myself ever giving birth now. It's depressing. |
