Franklin Delano Roosevelt said the following about fear: "Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." I thought that would be an appropriate quote to begin today's blog about phobias.
You would not believe the number of phobias,I was astounded. There must have been over 50 just starting with the letter A. I am just going to list some of the least known of the offering,but it is still pretty interesting to think about all the things that people fear no matter how irrational.
Arachibutyrophobia-Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Ashenophobia-Fear of fainting or weakness.
Ataxophobia-Fear of untidiness
Atychiphobia-Fear of failure.
Autophobia-Fear of being alone or fear of oneself.
Achluophobia-Fear of darkness.
Agyrophobia-Fear of streets or crossing the street.
Alektorphobia-Fear of chickens.
Allodoxaphobia-Fear of opinions.
Amaxophobia-Fear of riding in a car.
Anthophobia-Fear of flowers.
Anuptaphobia-Fear of being single.
These are just some for you to give some thought to for now...there will be a test at a later date!
