Fears & Phobias - Chat & Discussion

I have a genuine fear of clowns (Coulrophopia).

I once made the mistake of revealing that fact in the chatbox (some time ago) only to be bombarded
with clown pictures every time i went in there

I didn't know there so many fears and phobias until I went on phobialist.com, I will name a few of them from the list:
Caligynephobia- Fear of beautiful women.
Chaetophobia- Fear of hair.
Cenophobia or Centophobia- Fear of new things or ideas

Quote:I have a fear in worm..yakkkkkkk I don't like to see a worm...

Seems that your not alone.Fear of Worms is know as - Helminthophobia.

Ballistophobia - fear of bullets ? Surely a bullet alone would not be that frightening.But when loaded in a gun,pointing at you in the hands of a cold blooded killer ? Yes,that's enough to scare the crap out of you !
