Phobophobia

Tonight we were talking about Meghan's fear of aquariums and decided to look up what that phobia is called. We didn't find what that phonia is called but we found some other fun and interesting ones.




Automatonophobia: the fear of ventriloquist dummies. This also extends to wax figures and other personlike things. I don't think I have a fear of these things but they definitely freak me out. 
Pediophobia: the fear of dolls. Again, I dont have a "fear" of dolls but porcelain dolls freak me out as well
Panphobia – Fear of Everything...that would suck.
Cacophobia: fear of ugliness
Nomatophobia: fear of names
Venustraphobia: fear of beautiful women
Xanthophobia: fear of the color or word yellow
androphobia: fear of men
aphenphosmphobia: fear of being touched
bibliophobia: fear of books...oh the sadness
gamophobia: fear of marriage...know a few of those
porphyrophobia: fear of the color purple
pyrophobia: the opposite of pyromania
francophobia: fear of france of france culture
genuphobia: fear of knees
geliophobia: fear of laughter
illyngophobia: fear of feeling dizzy when looking down
megaphobia: fear of meghan
xenoglossophobia: fear of foreign languages

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: Fear of long words

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth



Now, I dont suffer from these...I do have a fear of heights but oddly enough I didn't come across it. While most of these are silly, people really do suffer from paranoia and fear from many of these things. Praise the Lord God sets us free from our fears.
