Darth Homer Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 A few I suffer from: Truiphobia: fear of reality Nulicaffiophobia: fear of no sodas Twangophobia: fear of country music (NOOO!! MAKE IT STOP!!!) Sensophobia: fear of being coherent Vegophobia: fear of eating healthy stuff Makeemallupophobia: fear of making up phobias (yes, I did make all of these up and I'm sacred. For me, the later it gets, the sillier I get. If you want some really weird posts, just wait for the next time I stay up 'till 5 am. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming Nut Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I could think of why people would be afraid of some of those though you'd have to neurotic first. "Anablephobia- Fear of looking up" should be renamed fear of looking up and seeing something falling toward you. "Epistemophobia or Gnosiophobia- fear of knowledge" should be fear of what it could bring about you know dooms day. "Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing" Again you need to be nutty frist but you might be afraid drowning. "Clinophobia- Fear of going to bed" either you have bad dreams ALOT or your afriad you'll never wake up. "Helmintophobia- Fear of being infested with worms" that would be nasty and painful so your right to fear it... if you live in he Amazon not in NYC. "Peladophobia- Fear of bald people" bald guy's tend not to very nice in pop culture and if you already have lose grip of reality you might extend that to all bald people. "Sciophobia- Fear of shadows" more like what might be in them. For these to happen you have to mess up in the head to begin with and at that point you might be afraid of anything for some irrational reason. All I have is my nice old fashion fear of heights.

Sherack Nhar Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I am a bit afraid of heights, but I wouldn't consider it a phobia. I do, however, suffer from Apiphobia during summer. I can't stand the bees, wasps, and hornets; they totally freak me out. I'm even a bit nervous around flies. Complete list of phobias: http://www.phobialist.com There's even the fear of garlic!
