26 Phobias You Might Not Even Know That You Have

11:15 Unknown 0 information

Being scared of spiders or heights is something that a lot of people can relate to. But there are other phobias that you might not even know are “officially” phobias. Some of them sound a little ridiculous, but I guess everyone has their fears…like chopsticks and belly buttons.

Ablutophobia – Fear of washing or bathing, which takes away the fear of wanting to have people around you.

Genuphobia – The fear of knees and/or the act of kneeling. Good luck if you’re Catholic.

Clinophobia – An abnormal and persistent fear of going to bed.

Acerophobia – If life hands you lemons, you’ll probably freak out because of your fear of anything that tastes sour.

Selenophobia – The fear of the moon, moonlight, or even darkness on a moonless night.

Consecotaleophobia – While some people prefer to use silverware (shovel in that rice!) some people have an actualfear of chopsticks.

Baropphobia – Fear that gravity will crush them, they will fall due to gravity, or that gravity will cease to exist and they’ll float away.

Amathophobia – An abnormal and persistent fear of dust.

Ephebiphobia – The inaccurate, exaggerated and sensational characterization and fear of young people.

Scriptophobia – The fear of writing in public or writing in general.

Alliumphobia – These people fear garlic, but apparently not vampires.

Kakorrhaphiophobia – The fear of failure (you would think they would have given it a name that’s easier to say and spell to avoid that possibility).

Arithmophobia – An irrational (no pun intended) fear of numbers or arithmetic.

Octophobia – As the name suggests, it’s the fear of the figure eight.

Geliophobia - No LOL or ROFLMAO for these people who suffer from the fear of laughter.

Anuptaphobia – These people have a fear of being single or marrying the wrong person.

Syngenesophobia - The fear of relatives (this probably flares up around the holidays).

Francophobia – Mais non! It’s the fear of French people and French culture.

Bibliophobia – In a sad turn of events, this is the fear and distrust of books.

Omphalophobia – An irrational fear of belly buttons, which has to be difficult seeing as, well, everyone has a belly button.

Paraskavedekatriaphobia – Although a lot of people have a fear of Friday the 13th, they should probably be more fearful about being asked to spell it.

Porphyrophobia – These people have a fear or aversion to the color purple. No word on if Barney helped spread this one around.

Coulrophobia – This is totally understandable given Stephen King’s It, but it’s the fear of clowns.

Pogonophobia – An irrational fear of beards, although I predict a fear of “man buns” can’t be far behind.

So I guess it's true — the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, no matter what that fear might be...
