12 Bizarre Phobias Unknown


A phobia is an irrational fear, compulsive and disproportionate to something. There are many common phobias, some well known as arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces). But in this article we will not talk about common phobias, phobias but strange and unknown 12 ...

1. Arachibutirofobia

This phobia is an irrational fear of some people to some kind of food (usually peanuts, almonds or peanut butter) can be stuck on the palate. This term was first used in the book Dead Man's Handle, Modesty Blaise series (1985) by Peter O'Donnell.

2. Xanthofobia

This phobia is characterized by the incomprehensible fear of yellow.

There is an adventure game based on the story by Harlan Ellison. Ellen, one of the characters of the short story I have no Mouth and I Must Scream (1967) Harlan Ellison, suffer from this phobia.

3. Levofobia and Dextrofobia

It is said that levofobia is the irrational fear of objects located to the left of the subject's body. The dextrofobia, on the other hand, is the same fear, but with the objects that are on the right of the subject.

A clear case of kid who does not suffer from dextrofobia ... The term was coined by a single known case of Dextrofobia (1957, USA), a patient named Rudolph Dexterfield, who developed an extreme panic to have objects (much larger worst) to your right.

4. Aracnofobiafobia

This word describes the fierce terror against people who are afraid of people who suffer from arachnophobia. Appears in episode 6x22 series Gilmore Girls.

5. Anatidaefobia

The anatidaefobia is the irrational fear that at any given time and from somewhere, a duck is watching you.

Although similar, do not confuse with Ceiling cat ceiling cat. The term originates in the cartoon The Far Side by Gary Larson.

6. Hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia

Anecdotally, this word defines those who have an irrational fear of long words, so I gather that you have to mention fobia.El complicated origin of the word comes from the Greek hippos, which means big, monster, monstrous, sesquipedalian-word derived from Latin, meaning great. It is also called sesquipedaliofobia. The word is first used in an episode of Brainiac 5 (DC Comics).

7. Alektorofobia

This phobia describes people with a fear of frightening the chickens, chickens or other poultry.

Randy Hickey in the series My Name Is Earl, suffers from this phobia.

8. Technophobia

Technophobia is an intense fear and unjustified technology. The films which are post-apocalyptic scenarios (technologically speaking), the type of Terminator, Matrix or Wall-E are often a source of terror for people suffering from this fobia.Elton John has acknowledged on occasion have technophobia, specifically in relation to mobile phones.

9. Anoraknofobia

This phobia is the irrational fear of spiders that appear on jackets.

Is the use or not use it? Is the use or not use it? The term is first used in the book of Wallace and Gromit Anoraknofobia of Marillion.

10. Triscaidecafobia

The frustrating triscaidecafobia is a fear the number 13. Around this number has always been controversial, since it is one of the numbers that cause bad feelings superstitious people. However, this phobia goes a little further. Some phobias may be the paraskevedekatriafobia, which represents the fear of Friday 13 (no, the film phobia, although it should) or trezidavomartiofobia, which represents the fear of Tuesday 13 (not, not comedy group phobia, although should).

11. Laloginefobia

The laloginefobia is a mixture of fear of public speaking (or laliofobia lalofobia) and fear of talking to beautiful women (or caliginefobia ginefobia).

The shy Raj, Rajesh Ramayan Big Bang Theory Koothrappali, one of the characters in Big Bang Theory, has this phobia and can not speak in the presence of women.

12. Lupolipafobia

This type of phobia is defined as the fear of being chased by a werewolf around a kitchen table while walking in socks and the floor is waxed.

Again, of course, this phobia first appeared in the work of Gary Larson, The Far Side.
