I never said it was stupid. I said they are not rational things. Phobias aren't fears that have basis in reasoning - you just ARE afraid of them.

And I happen to have a couple.

Do don't come off all superior to me, like I don't know what a friggin' phobia is.

Wha? I didn't come off superior, in no way shape or form did i say i was superior.

Y'all are having a miscommunication, and are agreeing with each other.

One small thing I should add though is that phobias are exactly that: irrational fears.
Rational fears come down to being afraid of things that might kill or harm you, whereas irrational ones don't specifically make sense on their own, even if a traumatic event got you that fear.
Calling phobias irrational is not weird, it's science.

I was actually really afraid of reefbacks, but my friend a few minutes ago eased me into it (greatest friend ever)

They're still pretty creepy, maybe I'll get over my fear of the glow whales, and start working my way up.

The real question is, have you tried to ride one yet?

Because you can., and it's incredible.

I have a phobia of hights myself. And looking down from a high place in a first person game can really freak me out.
Although, for some reason it doesn't bother me if the game is third person.

What makes you afraid of the whales?.

@uncasual if he knew he wouldn't be, he could try to cure it. @OP if you can afford to a hypnotist can help but its costly as you might need a few sessions to get it dealt with

Allow me to answer for the other guy:

"The fact that they are whales."

Seriously, that's what aphobia is: a fear without a reason. There is no Why, there is only Fear.

Imagine having Eudyptulaphobia in this game.
