What would you call a fear of fear lists? LOL Very fun TT!! Mine is up too! :coffee:
It’s good I don’t have any of these phobias you have just listed.
My TT13 on commitment is up too.
I’m happy to say I don’t have any of those fears!
Boy, would it stink to be afraid of ideas ~ I mean…wow. How do you even come to realize you are afraid of an idea? You would probably have to come up with the idea you were afraid of ideas, right? Gee…that would really stink.
Great list! Mine’s up! Happy Thursday!
Fear of time…Wonder what the phobia name is for fear of lack of time? π Great list
I must say that time and restrictions get on my nerves, but I don’t think it’s a fear. Those are interesting. Never heard of ’em b4. Trip out!

I have A-H and maybe L.
:crazy:
π Just kidding-though my mother and my grandmother are both afriad of cats.
This makes me wonder what fear of objects on the left side of the body is called.
Levophobia: Fear of things to the left side of the body!
I love phobias. Well, not phobias, but the words for them! π Great list!
Ok, some of those names I wouldn’t have thought go with the description… like the fear of horses… I was sure it was fear of Hippos when I first started reading π
Happy TT!!
Wow, are those for real? Fear of cats? Fear of France? Fear of horses? That’s some crazy stuff.
:O
phobias – I’m scared – great list!!!
8|that’s a whole lot of fear!!! BTW how long did this bit of research take you? Or did you have it all ready?
To be honest it didn’t take that long, I got them from one site but I went through a few sites before choosing one to decide on the most comprehensive and reliable looking one. So if any of them are wrong I apologise.
I have a hard time with phobias because I refuse to walk through life afraid. Sometimes I wonder if it’s not just a question of controlling one’s thoughts.
And a fear of books? I think I just had a heart attack. lol
Happy TT!
ooh, i have the fear of work one! well, less “fear” and more “hatred”. π
Wow! The things you learn on Thursdays… I’m completely cracking up at aibohphobia. How cruel is that?
Thank heavens I don’t have felinophobia nor do I have linonophobia as I LOVE string…
Hmmm..I wonder if I could collect disability for #5 and #6 – I have extreme cases of both. π
Happy TT!
It’s hard to believe that some of those are real fears!
WOW! That’s a lot of fears. Most I didn’t know had names. I also know alot of people afraid of #5! LOL!
Lots of fears, but where is my FEAR of heights? None could be worse!
Not to be smart, but I ljust learned a lot of big words
