Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow or the word yellow.

Why is there a fear of the word "yellow", but not of the word "xanthophobia"?

i think Autodysomophobia isn't a fear at all, i think it's a common reaction!!

Mine is Aviophobia and Arachnophobia, so the first time I do get up the nerve to get on a plane, the way my luck goes there will be a spider on board as well.

True fears?

Arachnophobia and Coulrophobia

Some of these are hysterical, although I know I shouldn't laugh. It's cruel to laugh at the fears of others. But come on...... Geniophobia- Fear of chins ????? There's a line there somewhere. I just happened to lose where it's located when I was rolling on the ground laughing at these!!! :rollin:

Don't know which one it is, but I really can't stand needles - especially dentist's needles! Frelling thing looks like a harpoon gun heading for your gums - all the dentist needs to do is shout 'Thar she blows!' when he/she spots the tooth that needs working on to complete the picture...

Mine is Aviophobia and Arachnophobia, so the first time I do get up the nerve to get on a plane, the way my luck goes there will be a spider on board as well.A good way to figure out a spider's mental-state is to poke it in-the-butt with a pencil-like object. If the spider scurries away, then it's probably mindin its own business. But if it spins around and bites the pencil, then that one's lookin fer trouble.

I've got necrophobia ok? And I work with medical records, so I had to jump thru a million hoops to get medical documentation showing that I can NOT work with death records. Now here is the irony........I am a HUGE fan of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (the originals of both) and Day of the Dead. Im a weirdo.
