Phobophobia...

   Haha weird word right? Phobophoia. Turns out that means the fear of phobias...or the fear of fear. Strange right?

  Everyone has a fear of something, no matter how hard they try to deny it. There's so many different fears.

  My fear is probably the fear of dark wooded areas(or being in the forest at night), that's also known as Nyctohylophobia. That's one of the biggest ones I have, I'm so scared that something will jump out at me or an animal will eat me (I know dumb, but it's so scary when your out in the forest). Or I have Coulrophobia or the fear of clowns, heh... I'm pretty sure I also have Atychiphobia, the fear of failure... I think that sort of explains itself.

There's so many different names! I'm not going to list them all but here are my favourites

Anablephobia- Fear of looking up
Cathisophobia- Fear of sitting
Dementophobia- Fear of insanity (every one's insane, sorry bud, but you've gotta face it someday)
Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school (warning: do not use as excuse to skip school)
Ephebiphobia- Fear of teenagers (how rude!)
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words (does anyone else find that mean?)
Macrophobia- Fear of long waits (I hate those too)
Ombrophobia- Fear of rain or of being rained on (don't forget your umbrella)
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking (...)
Tropophobia- Fear of moving or making changes
Xenoglossophobia- Fear of foreign languages
Zoophobia- Fear of animals

I'm not going to name them all but here's a HUGE list of different phobias, maybe you'll find yours! >Phobia List<

Remember, it's ok to be scared, and to have fears. :)
