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!
