Are you one of the people on this list? Is there something specific in life that just doesn’t sit right with you? Or maybe you can’t even stand the sight of it without reeling? Let’s take a look at some rather creepier, common, and strangest phobias. See it as a test to see if you can make it through till the end.
20. Coulrophobia
The fear of clowns. About 99.9% of the human population I believe.
19. Genuphobia
The fear of knees. Um, right. To each their own.
18. Samhainophobia
Fear of Halloween. Welp. Just close your eyes for the next few days.
17. Verminophobia
The fear of germs.
16. Achluophobia
The fear of darkness.
15. Barophobia
The fear of gravity. Oh?
14. Chronophobia
The fear of time. I always find this one fascinating.
13. Atelophobia
The fear of imperfection. I understand this one.
12. Claustrophobia
The fear of small or confined spaces. Definitely me. I don’t know what it is that makes me panic. Maybe because growing up my cousins would stick me in a box and sit on top so I couldn’t get out. HMMM WONDER WHERE MY PHOBIA CAME FROM.
11. Thanatophobia
The fear of death. This use to be a huge fear of mine when I was a child and my mind could never stray from the topic once I focused on it.
10. Kinemortophobia
The fear of zombies. Well just hope you die before the apocalypse happens. What if you become a zombie then and you’re afraid of yourself. A concept.
9. Hexakosioihexekkontahexapho
Fear of the number 666.
8. Acrophobia
The fear of heights. Depends on how secure or safe I feel at said height.
7. Telephonophobia
The fear of talking on the phone. I still get anxiety having to order a pizza.
6. Catoptrophobia
The fear of mirrors. Honestly I fear more of what I might see standing behind me in a mirror. Or of one at night specifically.
5. Paraskevidekatriaphobia
The fear of Friday the 13th. Apparently 8% of people in the world have this as a severe fear. Sorry guys, but next one’s in December.
4. Ephebiphobia
Fear of teenagers. Same.
3. Venustraphobia
The fear of not all women, no no, the fear of beautiful women. Now it makes sense why so many people are afraid of me! Just kidding, seriously, I’m not that self-absorbed. Joking. Again. Don’t hate me.
2. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
The fear of long words. Okay now that’s a good one. Say it three times fast.
1. Phobophobia
Fear of well… having a phobia. Kinda Ironic wouldn’t you say?
