Islaamaphobia is not on the list.
Homophobia and Islamophobia didn’t make the cut? What’s this world coming to? This list is “rasis”! Harumpf! Harumpf!
Meh, I’m islamonauseous.
2. Depends on the spider.
3. I can’t stand small spaces.
7. Public speaking is absolutely terrible. I would rather chew glass every day until I die than do public speaking.
8. Clowns and mimes are sent from Hell to destroy us all.
10. Depends on the bug.
They could not put Islamophobia on the list, because they really are trying to get ya, so it is disqualified as a phobia, same as Obamaphobia. And if you are a Christian, Homophobia goes out the window.
Hard to do a decent poll in a PC world.
Obamaphobia: The distrust of EVERYTHING that eminates out of O’Venal’s mouth!
This condition is NOT an irrational fear, IT IS COMMON SENSE!
(This condition is closely related to Trudeauphobia in Kanada)
Let us not forget the irrational Transphobia.
With all the millions of transgenders running around now I’m guessing transvestite phobia is probably included in the generic “transphobia.”
I have a daughter-in-law who cannot watch a spider on t.v. or even look at a spider without panicking.
Apeirophobia - The fear of infinity.
Hoplophobia. The pResident has it.
1. Acrophobia (heights) 3. Claustrophobia (enclosed spaces) 5. Thalassophobia (deep water) 7. Glossophobia (public speaking)
Add to that, my real number 1. Birds, 2. Fire, 3. Crowds.
Obviously, I’m a mess.
I’m not afraid of heights. I’m not even afraid of falling. I’m afraid of hitting the ground.
Hoplophobia — fear of weapons, especially guns.
Some fears are not irrational. In fact it would be irrational to not fear, in some cases.
1. Acrophobia (heights)
Bothers me more now that I am older. When I was a 10 year old kid I fell 30 or 40 feet from a tree. No biggie. But now going over the Rt. 301 bridge across the Potomac river concerns me. Maybe because it’s a 2-lane undivided bridge and there are tractor trailers and low guard rails.
2. Arachnophobia (spiders)
Love spiders. Suddenly discovering a huge wolf spider inches in front of one’s face in the garage is invigorating.
3. Claustrophobia (enclosed spaces)
No problem. Space is limited, I’m small. I used to crawl through long storm drains as a kid, or hide in them.
4. Ophidiophobia (snakes)
Cool as long as I know what they are.
5. Thalassophobia (deep water)
Even a bathtub is dangerously deep. Seriously deep and cold water is a blessing.
6. Necrophobia (death)
As long as it’s someone else it doesn’t scare me.
7. Glossophobia (public speaking)
I hated it as a kid. But I became a salesman, so I got used to it. Sales bonuses helped.
8. Coulrophobia (clowns)
Obama freaks me out.
9. Trypanophobia (needles)
My wife sews. Found one in a bathroom towel and another on the carpet. Just a household hazard. As for medical needles, not a problem.
10. Entomophobia (insects)
Like ‘em. Or quite a few. Though getting bit by 30 mosquitoes in an evening isn’t my idea of fun. Arachnids like chiggers and ticks give me more problems than insects.
