the Phobia list

jfhasifas, fjahfklualdifa nduflasdfi shit, sdhnfldsadujfhyalidufd. jfahfawey real shit dbfuadfhf, shdgaue.

yeah, that's pretty much what school was for me over the past 2 days.

so i did a little research on names of different types of phobias, and i came across a really long list filled with possibly, the longest word i ever came across in my entire life, and words that i twist my tongue around to pronounce. best of all, fears of things that i never thought was possible.

some of the many phobias i never knew existed:
  • Anablephobia- Fear of looking up.
  • Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc. (this is not the only country!)
  • Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
  • Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia- Fear of money. (wait, people actually fear money?)
  • Ephebiphobia- Fear of teenagers. (awesome. there's an actual name for this.)
  • Geniophobia- Fear of chins.
  • Heresyphobia or Hereiophobia- Fear of challenges to official doctrine or of radical deviation. (only because i completely dont understand this entire meaning of the phobia.)
  • Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666. (i'll pay you 2 bucks if you can read this right in 3 secs.)
  • Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words. (5 bucks.)
  • Octophobia - Fear of the figure 8.
  • Parthenophobia- Fear of virgins or young girls. (fear of virgins? the dude must be sick.)
  • Phobophobia- Fear of phobias. (peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers...)
  • Sesquipedalophobia- Fear of long words. (mary says, "hi. i have a fear of long words. it's called 'sesquipedalophobia'. you know, like i said. a fear of long words.*cough*.")
  • Urophobia- Fear of urine or urinating. (everyday is a bad day.)
  • Vestiphobia- Fear of clothing. (hm.)

some of the more interesting phobias i think i actually might have:

  • Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being. (okay wax figures are just plain SCA-RY.)
  • Claustrophobia- Fear of confined spaces. (hint: coffin.)
  • Coulrophobia- Fear of clowns.
  • Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school. (nuff' said.)
  • Ochlophobia- Fear of crowds or mobs.
  • Pediophobia- Fear of dolls. (*shudder*)
  • Philophobia- Fear of falling in love or being in love.
  • Taphephobia or Taphophobia- Fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries.

of course there're plenty more fears that everyone generally shares, like the fear of blindness etc. but i thought i'd just put up some that would relate personally to me. ...OKAY, except for the last one, i'll admit.

would you like to be buried alive?

cosmicdust said...

LOL annz...why indeed.

anyway, so many phobias...i suffer from some of them (read many of them). must consider living differently...if that would help

Seige said...

lol. you guys, i dont know. i just THINK i might have that little phobia there. *cough*

cine, i think living differently might help for a few phobias, but probably not all. stuffs like being creeped out by FREAKY wax figures cannot be changed for me, no matter what. LOL. :P

sh said...

maybe it's because you're afraid of opening up to someone else. like really open up. hmmm. guarded?

eeep. that, you'll have to work on! we'll crack up your little shell together!

Seige said...

i think you're right. i am completely guarded. i will really admit that.

i have never really opened up to anyone before. general stuffs, maybe. real personal stuffs- that's where the barricades come up.

yes i'm weird like that. :)

Anti-anxiety drugs may also help you make strides towards overcoming your phobias. These medications are prescription strength and are available for both long-term and short-term use. One example of a drug xanax , it has help people with phobias is benzodiazepine. Often, medication works best in conjunction with other types of therapy treatments. http://www.xanax-effects.com/
