Well, all looks funny until you got one. I had to cope with several phoebias in my life, Aphenphosmphobia amongst others. This list is also far from complete.

Who thought of those names anyway had a phoebia of simple short words

So who's going to be first fior telling us what they have a fear of? unless that's A face's list?

**Gerrit** · 13/01/2006, 8:19 PM

Well, I named Aphenphosmphobia already, it doesn't dominate my life however and has decreased a lot luckily, but still.

And I have a mild vertigo, which is a nicer term than whatever Wikipedia uses for fear of heighths.

I can't believe the amount of people who have told me they've got a fear of clowns. Does it stem from a bad experience at the circus when you were young or something?

That is by far and away the best.

I still remember it as one of the few things I listened to from my English Leaving Cert teacher and as if it was only four years ago.....

Im not too fond of clowns myself,i just cant see why people like um!
i think mine stems back to the film ''IT'',i remember they did it as a two part series on sky when i was a kid,i remember sneaking down to watch it and scared ****less going to bed..had to watch it tho and brag about it in school the next day!
Thats deffinately why i have a dislike for clowns!

i also cant drink milk out of an open container...dunno why that is tho,its kinda wierd!

Not for me. Apparently its because we can't get a read on people. If you don't know someone's emotions, you don't know how to react to them, that sort of thing
