Whoa, I wonder what coulrophobians think about insane clown posse. Lol.
Those Phobias are pretty hard words to pronounce, I myself think that I would have emetophobia since I dislike vomiting so much. I dislike it so much that whenever I am partying I try not to drink to much because whenever I get a hangover I usually throw up and feel like crap the whole next day. |

Yep, indeed most of medical conditions are named using latin or greek words. i believe when it comes to numbers - greek names are used, as far as I remember my chemistry classes
 and to contribut to phobias list, there are some some: Agoropbobia - fear of open spaces Arachnophobia - fear of spiders (as Arachnids are all spiders and similar creatures) |

Arachibutyrophobia - fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. (as arachi should mean peanuts, butyr probably means butter and and phobia automatonophobia - fear of ventriloquist's dummies and wax statues (as auto means self as in autoportret nad the rest is up to you guys) caligynephobia - fear of beautiful women. Should be a tradegy for any man peladophobia - fear of bold people (intresting, when one with this phobia gets bold, is he afraid of himself?) hippopotomonstosesquippedaliophobia - fear of long words. Thanks goodnes one can find out about his condition without freaking out

QUOTE(NovaTerra @ Mar 12 2006, 10:31 AM)  Latin for six is (don't laugh, if you do, you're immature) sex. one = unus two = duos three = tres four = quattor five = quinque six = sex seven = septem eight = octo nine = novem ten = decem So, yeah, a Latin scholar you are. I found the whole thread interesting but I wanted to mention that in german six is sechs which is very close to pronounced like sex. There is a slight difference in the annunciation. There is another phobia for fear of being touch. Anchraphobic or something. Not all people with phobias have them all the time either. Most of the time I am a very touchy feely type of person. But occationally I really don't like to be touched. It bothers me to the point of neurotic. It is not all the time thank goodness. Its just sometime. I have no idea why I get that way sometimes. Its just one of those crazy things that make me unique. LOL |

Pyrophobia – A fear of fire. This is the phobia that I possess. I sometimes go sleep fearing the house will catch on fire in the middle of the night, but like unicornrose said “Not all people with phobias have them all the time either” So most of the time I am fine.
I am actually more afraid of small fires like candles. I cannot stand being around candles. |

Wow, so many phobias! I'd hate to be around someone with Sinistrophobia (fear of objects on the left side of body/left-handed), since I'm left handed...One thing that I find funny about one phobia, is the fear of long words. It's called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Someone with that phobia would be afraid of the name, itself. I'd hate to have some of those phobias that I saw on the list at phobialist.com.

im afraid of clowns(just the scary ones), bees, dying in a very stupid manner like gunshot or car accident, and giant red squid. im not sure where the clown thing came ffrom but i am allergic to bees. im definately not afraid to die. i am a big wave surfer and will challenge any wave anywhere but to be shot in a drive by or killed in a car accident freaks me out. its such sad way to go. some people might think dying in a wave is stupid but it's my passion so i cant complain. my parents didnt like it too muh but they got over it. the red squid thing... just watch the discovery channel when they search for these 300 foot long giant red squid at night. these things have beaks as big as your hands and they wrap up thier prey and squeeze them to death. look up pictures on google or something. im sure i will never encounter one but i'd rather see a shark then one of those suckers!
