Phobias GALORE

Don't ask me why, but for some reason I am obsessed with phobias.  I find them so interesting.   I love adding little phobias to my stories (especially The Fear-Full Adventure, which is about them).  Because there are so many crazy awesome fears.
Here are a few phobia examples:
Anatidaephobia: Fear that a duck is watching your every move (!).
Pteronophobia: Fear of being tickled by feathers.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: Fear of long words.
Pantophobia: Fear of everything.
Barophobia: Fear of gravity.
Chirophobia: Fear of hands.
Ephebiphobia: Fear of teenagers.
Agnosiophobia: Fear of not knowing.
Acrophobia: Fear of heights.
Claustrophobia: Fear of small spaces.
Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders.
Atelophobia: Fear of imperfection.
Graphophobia: Fear of writing (CRAZY!).
Now, remember, these are only a few.  There are THOUSANDS more.

Some of my Phobic information.
I am Agnosiophobic.  But for me it's more like not knowing when.  I hyperventilate when I know something is going to happen, but I don't know when to expect it.  It's scary!

Any phobias you readers want to share?  Comment below!
