Fear

Fear is irrational and stupid.

Tell that to the trillions of people who suffer from stupid and irrational fears. And the list literally goes on and on: The phobia list.

I thought my 'fear' was made up, but apparently it is real: Graphophobia- Fear of writing or handwriting. I don't have a fear of writing so much that I have a fear of sucking, or of ridicule. I just have to write a short story for school. But what if it comes out horrible?

Ah, there's a word for that too:
Katagelophobia- Fear of ridicule.

Some are especially noteworthy: Kleptophobia- Fear of stealing.
So like, don't steal.

LOL: Syngenesophobia- Fear of relatives. 

Chaetophobia- Fear of hair. (Like, even on your head?)
 Phalacrophobia- Fear of becoming bald.

Cenophobia or Centophobia- Fear of new things or ideas. (ME!)
  
I think if I keep reading and identifying with this list I will become insane.

And there it is: Agateophobia- Fear of insanity.

Cibophobia- Fear of food.(Sitophobia, Sitiophobia) (Do you starve?)

Chirophobia- Fear of hands.

Macrophobia- Fear of long waits. (Most people, everywhere.)

Hmmmm... Papaphobia- Fear of the Pope.

Yup, Xenophobia- Fear of strangers or foreigners.

Anthropophobia- Fear of people or society.
Sociophobia- Fear of society or people in general.

Oh so that's what my problem is:  Sophophobia- Fear of learning.

Bromidrosiphobia or Bromidrophobia- Fear of body smells. (I think we all suffer from that)

Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

I searched 'fear of babies'. No such thing.

Made the list:  Theophobia- Fear of gods or religion.

BEST. ONE. EVER:
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666.

Okay seriously, if you need a laugh check out The List 

I need to go to sleep.

Oh no:

Hypnophobia- Fear of sleep or of being hypnotized.
Somniphobia- Fear of sleep.

Noctiphobia- Fear of the night.    

Clinophobia- Fear of going to bed.

I could just go on and on.....
