Are You Scared?

I've just spent most of my morning on a website called phobialist.com. It's just someone who's collecting names and types of phobias and they've put them all on this one website, and some of them are just bizarre! So I thought I would give you a rundown of some of my favorites.

You definitely don't want to go someone with ablutophobia. That's someone with a fear of washing and bathing, so they're really going to stink.

Barophobia: it's a fear of gravity. How? How is that even possible?

Clinophobia: it's a fear of going to bed. How do you develop that fear?

This one just confuses me. Euphobia: it's a fear of hearing good news. It's good! It's good news! if it was a fear of bad news I could understand it. But if you're being given good news how can you be scared of that?

'You've just won the lottery!' "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yep. There's a phobia of that.

Dromophobia: that's a fear of crossing the street. how do they ever get anywhere?

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphopia: this is a fear of the number 666. I never want to be scared of that number just so I don't have to say that word again.

Linonophobia: it's a fear of string....

Ophthalmaphobia: fear of being stared at. So if anyboday has that and they're reading this post: O.O

The next two make me really sad when I read them.
Philemaphobia: it's a fear of kissing. and philophobia is a fear of being in love. ............it's really sad.

Now the last two are phobias that I have.
The first one is Globophobia and it's a fear of balloons. yeah....
and the other one is telephonophobia and that's a fear of telephones. I'm not, strictly speaking, afraid of telephones, I'm scared of picking up the telephone. I'm really terrible at telephone conversations.

So yeah, if you have any weird phobias or you know of any phobias with great names, let me know because I find it very interesting.

I'll leave you with my favorite phobia that i found:
Arachibutyrophobia: it's a fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. That's really specific. Just don't eat it!
