i became scared of toilets when i saw that scene in jurassic park when the dinosaur eats the man when i was 5. since then loud flushing toilets (or even soft flushing ones when im real anxious) send me running out of the bathroom! when its automatic and loudly flushes too quickly i usually flail around the stall trying to get out as quickly as i can, and of course i cant figure out how to get out of the stall then. Thank god other people also have these problems!

Ligyrophobia by: Anonymous
I have this problem too, and especially auto toilets. The only phobia name I can find that nearly describes this fear is Ligyrophobia, a fear of loud noises. Like some of you have said, I don't fear all toilets, in fact I have no problem with my home toilet and regular pubic toilets that aren't super loud, but then there's loud toilets and loud toilets that flush on their own is even worse. Don't know how to cure this, wish I did, it makes working 8 hour shifts at a place with automatic toilets very difficult.
the soundd by: Anonymous
i am afraid of the sound and the part of being in a small space which is usually locked with this loud white thing. its also the walk away from the toilet while its flushing i phyke myself out and start walking faster and get more skared. nobody in my life knows this.
I'm glad i'm not alone D: by: scared like CRAZY
Well,I have a very loud toilet so I always wash my hands first, plug my ears, flush with my feet and RUN. I hate doing that and I want to be able to flush without being scared. HELP D:

High level, low levels by: Anonymous
When I mean by high level toilets I mean the ones with the toilet tank close to the ceiling. Low level ones are closer to the toilet, and close coupled toilets are the standard ones in North America in homes. High level ones are the ones I'm scared of.
Scared of High level toilets with chain pullies by: Anonymous
I am actually afraid of high level toilets with chain/string pullies. Low-level, closed-coupled, and push toilets are the only toilets I am okay with, but high level toilets???? I don't know why and I have never been to countries (yet), such as England, Hungary and Italy, where they mostly have high level toilets with chain pullies. I used to be afraid of toilets as a little girl in general, because they were so loud!!! But now, I have to deal with high levels when I go to Europe!

Loud toilets with lots of splashing by: Anonymous
I'm not afraid of toilets flushing in general, but I am afraid of loud toilets with lots of splashing water. I was a professional cheerleader and the toilets in our lockerroom creeped me out! I don't know if it was the sound or the the idea that I could get splashed with toilet water that bothered me the most! But anyway, everyone made fun of me because I would open the door, stand halfway out of the stall, flush with my foot and then run away!

Oh, My gosh. Me too! by: Morgan
I do the same thing! I feel like everytime I flush a toilet, it's too loud and I feel like I can't hear everything around me, so i run to! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I wish there was a way to fix this. D:
