Phobias


If you suffered Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia or Sesquipedalophobia, how could you ever write them down?

If you suffered Xanthophobia, how could you ever peel a ripe banana?

If you have Merinthophobia then you probably aren't into BDSM, especially if you have Dishabillophobia too. Suffering Vestiphobia at the same time would make life intolerable. But then, if you had Thanatophobia or Cleithrophobia, Cleisiophobia, or Clithrophobia the alternative is going to be pretty hard to cope with as well.

What was that? What are all these things?

I'll translate:

If you suffered a fear of long words, how could you ever write them down?

If you were scared of the colour yellow, how could you ever peel a ripe banana?

If you are scared of being tied up then you probably aren't into BDSM, especially if you have a phobia about taking your clothes off too. Suffering a fear of clothing at the same time would make life intolerable (although you would be kept occupied taking them off and putting them back on all the time). But then, if you had a fear of death, or a fear of enclosed spaces, the alternative is going to be pretty hard to cope with as well.

I think the worst one for me to have at the moment would have to be Herpetophobia - the fear of creepy crawly things. Cos at the moment my legs think they have these things all over them, even though they really don't. I tell ya, its enough to give you Acarophobia - a fear of insects that cause itching.

You were dying to know all that, weren't you? If you check out this site, there are even more of them.
