Phobias

Most people fear something and I’m no different. I am not going to talk about my phobias in this essay, instead I will briefly describe a few phobias that have fascinated me.

Ablutophobia, the fear of bathing. This is amusing. I have never come across someone with this phobia and hope I never will. Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. I think they they fear birds pooping in their eye which may cause them to go blind . Amathophobia, the fear of dust. I’m sure no one in India has this phobia. Arachibutyrophobia, this is a funny one. It is the fear of peanut butter being stuck to the roof of the mouth. Cacophobia is the fear of being ugly so, why has makeup been invented? Coprastasophobia , the fear of constipation, lets move on to the next one. Domatophobia, the fear of houses or being in a house. This is a new one, I haven’t heard of it before. Eleutherophobia, the fear of freedom. Eosophobia fear of daylight, vampires have this. Euphobia, fear of hearing good news. Geliophobia, fear of laughter. Genuphobia, fear of knees.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words. Lachanophobia- Fear of vegetables. Olfactophobia- Fear of smells. Panophobia, fear of everything. Venustraphobia, fear of beautiful women.

After writing this, I think I’ve got a new fear, phobophobia, the fear of phobias.
