Strangest Phobias You Could Have by aolumaxi(m): 11:46pm On Jan 07, 2016 |
With the exception of one person we’re all afraid of something. Some of us however, whether due to a traumatic experience or just bad luck, have fears that could be classified as being a bit more irrational. These are some of the strangest phobias you could have. Ablutophobia If you have ablutophobia then you had better go grab some deodorant because you are probably too scared to take a bath or clean yourself. Ergophobia Ergophobia is the fear of work or the workplace environment. On a serious note however, psychologists believe it is a combination of various fears such as failing at assigned tasks, social anxiety, and public speaking. Nomophobia Short for no-mobile-phone phobia, this is the constant fear of not having service and according to researchers in the UK a whopping 50% of people have it. Third world…we apologize. Philophobia Although butterflies in the stomach are often associated with love, for someone with philophobia those butterflies are more like deadly scorpions, as they are petrified of falling in love. Unfortunately many people in this category end up living a life of solitude and fear of commitment. Somniphobia Also known as hypnophobia, this is the abnormal fear of falling asleep. Oftentimes it can be the result of people feeling as though they are losing control and nightmares have been known to cause it as well. Heliophobia In a sort of modern day vampirism, heliophobia is actually defined as fear of the sun. Although it sounds harmless, it can actually be quite serious and lead to vitamin D deficiency as a result of staying indoors. Chaetophobia Although some people with chaetophobia only fear loose or detached hair, others can be terrified by the hairs on their very own bodies. |
