The Weirdest Phobias around the World

So the world can be a pretty interesting place when it comes to it's fears and that what this whole post is about!

Me myself don't have any phobias that I know of and the most common of phobias is the fear of speaking out in public but I already got that one down!Ha ha!

But when I decided to do some research after I got home from work today, I found out that there are phobias for almost anything!

So I give you the strangest Phobias from around the world!


1. Spectrophobia: This phobia is the fear of mirrors.
This one I actually do get because I don't know about you all but when some of my friend come over at my place to spend the night with me and in the middle of the night I see them get up to use the bathroom, I see them stay far away from the hall mirror as possible.
And if you've seen the movie "Mirrors", then JESUS CHRIST.

And once the movie's over, it's never mentioned by the viewer again.

2. Phagophobia: This one is the fear of...........wait, is it pronounced the way I think it's pronounced?
Is it?
Really?
Okay, then well....
Phagophobia; the Fear of Swallowing.
Look, I'm sure that there's a joke somewhere in there but I'm just not going to touch it.

3. Cacophobia: The Fear of Uglyness.

4.Anatidaephobia: The Fear that a Duck is watching you.
Really?
There's a phobia for that?
(sighs) Ohhhh Boy, it's going to be a long night.

5. Hippoptomonstrosesquippedalio: (takes deep breath)
God, that was a mouth-full.
This is the Fear of Really Long Words.
Ummm......

SERIOUSLY?! THAT'S how they named it?!
How is the person who has it even supposed to tell you he has it?


6. Geliophobia: The Fear of Laughter.
Listen to this song and you will understand way this phobia exists.

7. Peladophobia: The Fear of Bald people.
Dang, so sorry to all my bald viewers.

8. Hypnophobia: The Fear of Sleep.
Okay, this one I could never have because I enjoy sleep way too much.

9. And this last one is Phobiaphobia; The Fear of Having a Phobia.
Yeah wouldn't this make someone go insane almost instantly?
Because if someones afraid of something and they're afraid of that fear and they are afraid of that fear of that fear, wouldn't they be shipped off the nearest asylum as soon as possible?
It's a parodox!
Or should I say Phobodox?
