There are some really strange phobias not to discount them as I'm sure they are very real to the people who have them. For instance, xanthophobia is the fear of the color yellow which is usually associated with happy things. It must be fairly crippling considering all the yellow a person sees day to day. Optophobia is fairly rare which is fortunate since it's the fear of opening your eyes. Omphalophobia would probably be the easiest to deal with as it's the fear of belly buttons, even your own. We'll wrap up today with one last fear...linonophobia, the fear of string which at first sounds fairly simple to deal with until you think about clothes being made of many strings/threads and the fact that this phobia often includes being unable to touch strings/threads. Anyone with this phobia can kiss crocheting and knitting goodbye.
