10 Unusual Phobias

sdfsfd

Do you suffer from Arachibutyrophobia?

If you think you have problems, think again. Here are some unusual phobias I found in the Oxford dictionary and PhobiaList.com

1. Peladophobia- Fear of bald people(This must be VERY difficult to deal with)
2. Anthrophobia or Anthophobia- Fear of flowers (But why, they’re so very pretty!)
3. Deipnophobia – Fear of dinner parties (“I’m guessing lunch will be ok with you?”)
4. Mycophobia – Fear of mushrooms!!! (My absolute favorite fear of all!)
5. Arachibutyrophobia – Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one’s mouth (Yeah, really!)
6. Autodysomophobia- Fear of one that has a vile odor (I can understand this)
7. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666 (There’s a term for this? Wow)
8. Caligynephobia- Fear of beautiful women (Guys, now there’s a new excuse)
9. Geniophobia- Fear of chins (Hmm, I can imagine how hard this might be if one fears other people’s chins?)
10. Papaphobia- Fear of the Pope (And here I thought it was about daddy!)

So be grateful for the fears you don’t have today!
