However brave we may claim to be in life,
there is no denying the fact that we all have some particular fear
which we would like to avoid.
They may be fear of heights or spiders, but they are very real.
But then there are some, who develop a phobia for the strangest of things.
Lets take a look at some of them now.
26.
Chromatophobia.
When the world of cinema finally welcomed its colored version, we were all happy.
Unless for a few, who suffer from a condition called chromatophobia.
It is basically living in fear of color.
Yes, color!
Of any kind.
So basically they need to keep themselves away from almost anything!
The severity ranges from a particular color to really bad cases
where every color is a nightmare!
25.
Somniphobia.
Well this one is a particularly nasty one to have.
It basically means that the person suffering from it is scared of going to sleep.
It is different from insomnia where people cannot fall asleep.
Those suffering from somniphobia are actually mortally scared of sleeping.
Many believe that they will die in their sleep, while many others are scared of the dreams!
Somniphobia has a genetic predisposition although trauma can also lead to its onset.
24.
Omphalophobia.
Birth must be a tricky time for all of us.
After 9 months inside, coming out into the world will definitely need some coping!
So much so that some people develop a huge fear of their bellybuttons because of it!
Why?
Because the umbilical cord, which is basically a reminder of the process of birth, is connected
through the belly button.
Known as omphalophobia, it makes the person feel highly uncomfortable in the presence
of navels, so much so, that they cannot even watch their own!
23.
Papaphobia.
God is supposedly the one you should turn to when looking for strength to fight fear.
But when you become fearful of the house of God itself,
there really is not much one can do!
Known as papaphobia, a person gets scared of everything that has to do with the papacy
or the Vatican.
While it is not really clear what drives this really rare phobia, one wonders if the crusades
had anything to do with it!
22.
Pogonophobia.
While there is no doubt that beards do enhance the look of men,
there are some men who stay away from it.
Women too, but there are none who actually scared of beards unless they are suffering
from pogonophobia.
The fear of beards probably has its roots in OCD
with many considering that beards tend to be unhygienic.
Whatever the reason, we really cannot avoid beards can we?
After all, Santa without that thick white beard wouldn't look so cute now, will he?
21.
Numerophobia.
None of us really like numbers.
And we couldn't really be happier when school was over
and we did not have to deal with numbers everyday.
Of course, some of us liked numbers and became accountants, just as some of us really could
not stand numbers because they were scared of them.
Numerophobia is a condition where a person is extremely afraid of numbers and getting
through the mathematics period was a nightmare, quite literally.
Some are afraid of specific numbers like 13 and 666, while others of just about any number!
20.
Trypophobia.
The people who suffer from this phobia are scared of small holes.
It is usually because they think that it is dangerous,
as it can hardly be ascribed to the fact that they could fall in it.
Things like honeycombs and sponges scare them badly!
So if you think your kid is scared of Spongebob, just make sure that they do not have trypophobia!
19.
Nomophobia.
Considering that mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives, it is natural
that we qould all feel a little queasy when we are out of coverage.
But some people take this to another level as they start experiencing panic attacks when
there is no coverage.
They are the ones who suffer from nomophobia!
Guess that adventurous little trek is not made for them!
18.
Hylophobia.
Trees are usually beautiful to look at.
They have a very calming effect but turns out there are people who just cannot stand
the sight of them because they are hyper scared.
Be it woods, forests or single trees even, they just cannot come face to face with one
if they suffer from Hylophobia.
Guess the reason is that woods are generally associated with witches in story books!
17.
Turophobia.
Well, who does not like cheese?
It is simply delicious and makes almost any food taste better.
But that does not mean that all of us like it.
Those who suffer from turophobia have an innate fear of cheese and while some have an aversion
to particular varieties, some are just scared of any cheese.
Guess they would be the best people to share diet plans with!
16.
Globophobia.
Globophobia is when people have a fear of balloons in general or from balloons popping.
In any case, they would absolutely be the last person you should call for a kids party,
or they might just have a fit and spoil the party!
15.
Ergophobia.
While it is something we would all like to have,
it is not a very practical thing to suffer from.
Ergophobia is the fear of work, which basically means that work environments or looking for
employment scares them senseless.
Wonder if they can line up at the unemployment office though!
14.
Sanguivoriphobia – It is very natural to have this phobia.
After all, it is the fear of vampires.
But while most of us know that they are not real,
it is pretty easy to ignore that fear.
But some of us suffer from sanguivoriphobia
which means that they have a fear of blood eaters.
And it is not easy to convince them that vampires are not real!
13.
Anthophobia.
Flowers are pretty and fresh and are the perfect things to get someone you love.
But if you are dating someone who has anthophobia, better luck for something else.
Because they are scared of flowers and ever the petals and stems!
So if you are looking for that fancy proposal with rose petals,
just ensure your partner is not anthophobic!
12.
Pentheraphobia.
Meeting mother-in-laws is usually a harrowing experience for everyone.
But then there are more than enough examples of mother-in-laws being the sweetest people alive.
Unfortunately, it will not matter much if you suffer from pentheraphobia as then you
are just extremely scared of them and no amount of niceness will change that.
So just in case you do suffer from pentheraphobia, look for an orphan to date!
11.
Chrometophobia.
If you ever find yourself in a position where you have to borrow money, we advise you to
go look for someone who suffers from chrometophobia.
Why?
Because they are so scared of money that they will probably not ask for it back!
They just cannot tolerate having excess money on them!
10.
Anatidaephobia.
This is a strange one to have.
People who suffer from Anatidaephobia are just insanely scared of ducks watching them.
If they feel they are under observation by a duck, they are simply incapable to doing anything.
And this does not extend to chickens or rabbits.
Just duck!
So if you ever have rubber ducks in your washroom, you can be pretty sure no one with anatidaephobia
is ever going to use your washroom!
9.
Genuphobia.
Going down on a knee and proposing is an exceptional experience for everyone.
But then there are some who would just be mortified of it!
Those who suffer from genuphobia have a deep fear of knees, be it their own or someone
else's!
Guess no grand proposals for them!
8.
Philophobia.
If you have ever been in love, you know how it is a magical experience.
Unfortunately, there are those who suffer from philophobia and have an irrational fear
of falling in love.
They just cannot stand it and will go to any lengths to avoid falling in love.
Which is probably why they generally end up alone!
7.
Chaetophobia.
Losing hair is a terrible thing to experience as it reminds us that we are getting old.
However, for those suffering from chaetophobia, it is an even more harrowing experience because
they are scared of loose or detached hair.
But there are also extreme cases where people are just terrified of even the hair on their
own bodies!
6.
Coulrophobia.
Given the number of scary clowns that have featured on television, films and even real life,
it is no wonder that many kids have developed a fear of clowns, known as coulrophobia.
This fear is so great that even a simple encounter with a clown can send them into a tizzy!
5.
Neophobia.
All of us are happier when things just keep happening the way they have
Newer things come with changes
and not all of us like that, even though they may be exciting.
This is especially true in the elderly, which is perhaps why some of them suffer from neophobia,
which is a deep rooted fear of anything new.
It probably has a lot to do with having to part with old things but still,
it is a very sad thing to suffer from!
4.
Decidophobia.
Well, as the name suggests, those who suffer from this are mortally afraid of making decisions.
Even simple things like which turn to take is a difficult task for them as they have
to face their fears.
Which is why they end up having sucky lives where others are more or less making all the
decisions for them!
3.
Gephyrophobia.
IF you suffer from Gephyrophobia,
make sure there are no rivers close to where you are staying.
Because you would not be able to cross them.
Gephyrophobia is the fear of bridges and it is apparently more common than we thought
because there are cities in the world where you can actually hire someone to drive your
car across the bridge!
2.
Phagophobia.
If you suffer from this, well they you also suffer from sheer bad luck.
Phagophobia is the fear of swallowing things and that just means that you find eating a
horrifying task.
Those who suffer from phagophobia are known to experience weight loss and malnutrition.
Not surprising considering that you would find eating a daunting task!
1.
Phobophobia.
Well, this one just takes the cake.
Of all the weird phobias to have, this one is pretty much up there at the top.
Phobophobia is the fear of developing any phobias.
And considering the number of weird phobias on just this list itself, they would probably
be scared of interacting with just about anything as it might just give them a phobia!
