Weird Fears People Have
Weird Fears People Have….including me.
OK, this is weird, I know, but I have Taphophobia. This is the fear of being buried alive. Yep, I hyperventilate even thinking about it. Ain’t nobody gonna put me in a coffin. Throw me off a boat at Folly Beach, SC, and I’m good.
Lots of people have weird fears. I have a few not listed here because we are talking about weird fears today. Yes, I’ve been accused of having a fear of flying (Aerophobia), but I have found a couple of good Old Fashioned doubles, plus air pods with a good podcast, and I can make it through.
Also, a fear of heights (Acrophobia). Now I realize I’m probably throwing my man card away with these fears, but hey…we are keeping it real here. Fear of drowning (Thalassophobia), yep….me too.
Here are ten more Weird fears people have…..
1. Ablutophobia: Speaking of drowning, did you know some people fear bathing? Ablutophobia is a real thing. It’s people who fear bathing or showering. We can probably figure out who they are if they get close.
2. Pogonophobia: Yes, some people have a fear of beards. Sorry, Santa.
3. Ergophobia: I bet most of us have this about every Monday. It’s fear of work.
4. Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns. Yea, I can see this. Clowns can be kinda creepy.
5. Dentophobia: Fear of dentists. OK, I have this. I get nervous every time I go. Not a fan.
6. Gamophobia: Wait. I may have this one, too. Fear of marriage.
7. Ophidiophobia: I may have more of these on this list than I thought. Ophidiophobia is a fear of snakes. Do you think I can run fast? Try me on this one.
8. Podophobia: Fear of feet. Yes, feet. Who would have thought?
9. Zuigerphobia: Yes, it’s a real thing. Fear of vacuum cleaners
10. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: I’m not even gonna try to pronounce it. Fear of long words.
