Whatsaphobia?

I confess, I have issues.

Phobias, to be precise. So I’ve checked out this pretty interesting website (www.phobialist.com). It basically tells me of almost all the crazy phobias on this earth. So far.

I have no idea whether it’s legit, but i’ll give it the benefit of doubt. (Okay i’ve just checked. All the phobias are rrreal.) I’m no genius, so I’m not sure that I can actually state that I have phobias and i’m not exactly a licensed doctor or psychiatrist …ehheh.. moving on!

Basophobia is the inability to stand, or the fear of falling. Okay, for me not so much of being unable to stand but I really get freaked out when I am walking in groups or like “two-by-twos” prior primary/secondary school days. I’d always have this insecurity that some arse would come up running from behind and. trip. me. Then I’d fall flat on my face. Or if there was a wet spot, mental image poofs up! Trina is walking towards the wet spot. Trina slips and falls. Wham.

Climacophobia. The fear of stairs, climbing or of falling downstairs. Every single time I’m taking the stairs, be it walking up or down, there’d be yet another mental image in my head of me tripping and tumbling down the stairs. Double wham.

Some interesting phobias are, for example, Arachibutyrophobia. The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Never have been a big fan of peanut butter but I know how they feel. Peanut butter smells funneh.

There’s this other one too. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. (blablablablathiswordjustrunsonandonandon) The fear of long words. Ooh dang, the irony. Imagine those poor people who are suffering from this…

“I have hipp… I… I have hippopotomonstrooo….. ARGHHHH!!!! I can’t take this anymore!” cue mad rush to the bathroom to bawl their eyes out.

How bout another one? Clinophobia. The fear of going to bed. Who fears going to bed?!?? Going to bed is like the highlight of my day. Or night. Whatever. But there is, of course, the sad fact that i’d have to wake up early the next day. 

So go Wiki or check it up on phobias anywhere on the net. Who knows? Maybe you guys are just as weird as me. 

 

p.s. Do not, I repeat. Do not trip me.
