Top 10 Strangest Phobias You Could Have

From medical point of view, a phobia is a type of anxiety, resulting in fear of an object, person, or situation. The disease, to much extent, is curable with proper medication and counseling. But during the course of its existence, the avoidance becomes impossible and it proves to be highly irritating. Phobias can be either Specific or Social. Let us see the list of top 10 strangest phobias you could have.

10. Nomophobia

Nomophobia is also known as no-mobile-phone phobia. In this complication, the victim has constant fear of smartphones and other tech gadgets. According to UK researchers, in the third world, more than 50% individuals have this health complication.  

 

9. Somniphobia

This is also known as hypnophobia. Somniphobia is the abnormal fear of falling asleep. It means he who has this complication is, most of the times, unable to sleep properly. As a result, the people fail to control their tensions, and nightmares have been known to be one of its major reasons.

 

 

8. Arachibutyrophobia

Arachibutyrophobia is actually a type of fear that leads the sufferer feel that they’ll be thrown around. It results in imaginations that the victim is like a peanut butter sticking to the roof who will soon fell down.

 

 

7. Aibohphobia

Aibohphobia is the fear of palindromes, which is known to be a palindrome. This phobia had been created by computer nerds back in 1980, but proper medication can be of great help to relief from the disease.

6. Hylophobia

It can be regarded as the irrational fear of wood, forests, and trees. Most of the people who dislikes to go to forests or other such places, develop this kind of psychological problem. It may be the result of long forgotten traumatic experiences like being beaten with a piece of wood or attacked in a jungle previously.

 

 

  

5. Gephyrophobia

Have you heard the name of this phobia? If no, then let me tell you that Gephyrophobia is the fear of living close to a river or seas. This may have appeared because a victim (who was once a normal individual) had once fallen in the river while crossing from a bridge. In other words, we can say that it is the fear from water.

 

4. Decidophobia

The fear of decision-making which may be related to feelings of self-confidence is called Decidophobia and could ultimately lead to an unhealthy dependence on others or unpractical methods of guidance. Decidophobia is usually caused by an intense negative experience from your past. But your mind can also create that fear seemingly without basis.

                                                            

   

3. Trypanophobia

Trypanophobia  is the extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles. The condition was officially recognized in 1994. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, dry mouth and shaking. 

 

 

 

2. Chronophobia

Chronophobia is one of the strangest in our list. It is actually the fear of time passing. It is of no surprise that this phobia is usually present in prison inmates and elders who have had a lot of bad and stressful experiences in life.
