The Phobias Of Life

Find the bravest person in the world, you would find a weird fear buried in his heart. Fears, also known as phobia are a condition of being scared of something that is most likely harmless. But it just cannot be ignored, because come on, it is scary even if not harmful.

Some fears are not that weird like hydrophobia-the fear of water because even though not generally, but yes you can drown or maybe acrophobia-the fear of heights for you can fall off and get hurt. Well, if you just avoid getting hurt due to these things, it is certainly not a phobia. But once extreme conditions where there is a severe distress on coming across any such common things are observed, it is declared a phobia.

There are other uncommon and queer phobias in this world which might seem like an exaggerated version of the truth but actually exist. Like there are times when people are stressed or upset or maybe just irritated with all the hustle bustle just need some time alone. Though there is that one person for whom this way of finding peace is yet another stress, autophobia- the fear of being alone.

Onomatophobia is a fear of names, meeting new people and gaining new experiences is always fun for an onomatophobic person, if only all this didn’t have a name. In the same gathering all an aphenphosmphobic person fears is a shake hand for he/she suffers from a fear of touch.

Another fear that will use up all of you mind to figure out is the Barophobia which is the fear of Gravity. It is really something to think about, how exactly they afford to stay on the ground if they are scared of what keeps them there?

Phobias generally prove to a bane in the lives of individuals as they cause a very high level of anxiety, interfere in the daily lives and tend to become the hurdles in the growth of an individual. Whenever one comes across what he/she fears, there is heavy breathing, sweating, abnormal blood pressure and even heart attacks in extreme cases.

Well, having a phobia becomes a fear itself. Developing a new phobia when you don’t have one or in addition to your previous fears is something no one wants. And surprisingly enough, there is a known phobia of having phobias also called Phobophobia. If you are not aware of your phobia yet, don’t go looking for it as you will develop this one for sure.
