Thursday Thirteen - More Phobias!

I started this list a few weeks ago. Here are some more of mankind's deepest fears:
(Please feel free to add your comments about your fears...)

Androphobia: Fear of men -

While not generally fearful of men, there are a few I've given wide berth!!!

Anthropophobia: Fear of human companionship -

I'm pretty solitary. Lots of people scare me to death!

Bathophobia: Fear of deep places -

Claire should be very happy this doesn't affect her; otherwise, she couldn't have gone spelunking!

Gynephobia: Fear of women -

Just one: the Wicked Witch of the North that I had the pleasure of working for. And when I finally stood up to her - the fear vanished!

Hedonophobia: Fear of pleasure -

Weird...can't even imagine!

Hypengyophobia: Fear of responsibility -

My kids all went through this one at about age 15...

Hypnophobia: Fear of sleep -

I have insomnia. Does that count???

Nyctophobia: Fear of night or darkness -

I had "night frights" as a child and had to sleep with a light on but not as an adult. Once in awhile, if something spooks me and I'm by myself, I can still feel the hairs on the back of my neck waving in the breeze.

Pathophobia: Fear of disease -

Only radiation sickness!

Pediophobia: Fear of children or dolls -

Ill behaved children and old dolls give me the willies. Where do clowns fall? I hate clowns!

Scopophobia: Fear of being stared at -

When I wore my first two-piece bathing suit at the beach when I weighed 120#; later in life, it was when I weighed 269 and wore a tent!

Tocophobia: Fear of childbirth -

Not until I had my first child!

Triskaidekaphobia: Fear of the number thirteen -

This has crept into society since there is no 13th floor designated in a high rise building. Silly...That's like one of Empress Bee's Blond jokes - there's still a 13th floor!!!
