Phobias (part one)

This is a post about phobias.  If any of you don’t know, a phobia is a fear of something or someone.   There will be two lists, one list of common phobias and one list of some phobias I find very odd and different.  Here we go, to Phobialand.

Common phobias:

• Arachnophobia→a fear of arachnids (spiders, scorpions,e.t.c. also, one of my friends is arachnophobic).

• Acrophobia→ a fear of heights.

• Claustrophobia→ a fear of crowded or closed in spaces(a friend of mine has it , not the one with arachnophobia though).

• Coulrophobia → a fear of clowns (And once again, I have a freidn with this phobia).

• Necrophobia→ a fear of death or dead things.

Odd phobias:

• Technophobia→ a fear of technology.

• Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia→ a fear of the number 666.

• Novercaphobia→ a fear of one’s step-mother

• Phobophobia→ a fear of phobias.

• Plutophobia→ a fear of wealth.

• Pteronophobia→ fear of being tickled by feathers.

This last phobia is the best but most ironic phobia  EVER.  Ready?  Here goes:
