1. Cyberphobia = The fear of technological materials like computer and mobile phones:
Technological things like computer and mobile phones are the part and parcel of our life. Nowadays, it has become almost impossible to live a single day wihout any of these things. However, it's not the same for people with cyberphobia. People with cyberphobia tries their level best to avoid these things. There are likely to have a rapid heartbeat when they used to be around any of these things. The most reasonable reason of having cyberphobia is to have a traumatizing experience in past somewhere linked to any of these objects. According to a recent diagnostic manual, between 7% and 9% of any community may suffer from cynophobia.
2. Lachanophobia = The fear of vegetables:
We all know that, how much pivotal vegetables are for having a healthy lifestyle! There are some people in the world who don't like eating vegetables that much. But, when it comes to the people with lachanophobia,then the dislike goes to an another level. People suffering from lachanophobia might be experiencing nausea and even shortness of breath at the mere sight of any tiny vegetable like the little carrot pies, brocolli or bell peppars. A study says, estimated 30% of the Americans are likely to be suffering from lachanophobia
3. Syngenesophobia = The fear of relatives:
Have you ever felt extremely anxious, frightened and disgusted while spending time with your relatives? Have spending time with relatives ever made you have a panic attack? Well, if you're having any of these circumstances in your life currently, then chances are that you're suffering from Syngenesophobia. A person is most likely to have Syngenesophobia in their life when they had any traumatizing experience with embarrasing estates with their relatives. For instance, in some families, the little children used to be abused by any of their relatives. Furthermore, in some cases the relatives can be laughing at a person that can make them literally feeling red faced and sometimes entirely traumatized. Syngenephobia is also regarded as familiaphobia.
4. Heliphobia = The fear of sunlight:
Nowadays, it has become entirely necessary for some people to go out everyday. Specially when it comes to the school children and job holders, then they have to go out almost everyday until the one holiday comes in their life. If it's a sunny day, then normally, you're going to be witnessing sunlight after going out. But, when it comes to the people with heliphobia, then it becomes much more harder for them than the usual to go out and to do anything they want. Since, they're likely to face heightened anxiety and racing heartbeat when they come in the touch of sunlight. Moreover, they are also likely to have severe panic attacks on these situation
5. Deipnophobia = The fear on dinner conversation:
What do think, what is meant by the phobia? Do you think, people with Deipnophobia get screwed while having conversation during dinner? Hell no!! People with deipnophobia hate to have a conversation while having a meal with other people. It makes them feeling extremely awkward. Picture this, you're having a dinner party with some people, then obviously they're going to have some chit-chats while while having a meal altogether. But, if you're having deipnophobia, then the silly thing will make you feeling really bad!! Deipnophobia can be simply happened if you're having any negative experience connected to dining conversation. Deipnophobia is also considered as the fear of dinning conversation. It's also related to social anxiety named as social phobia
6. Astraphobia= The fear of stars:
Oh gosh! I can never think of that someone is ever going to be afraid of this amazing sky full of wonderful cute and white stars. However, we must not forget about the people with astraphobia. This kind of people used to feel an extreme anxiety, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath while encountering those stars in the sky. People with astraphobia are just uneasy with the thought of space, stars and alien life. If you're suffering from Astraphobia, then sometimes it can be quite demanding for you to watch movies dedicated to aliens or something like that.
7. Xylophobia = The fear of trees:
People with xylophobia used to be too afraid of the wooded areas. The fear is likely to go to an another level at night for some people. But for most of the people, they used to be afraid of trees all the times. One of the most reasonable reason of xylophobia is rooted in the fear of dark. If you will go through a road with tones of trees on the two sides at a dark night specially by being alone, then obviously somewhere you will feel a little afraid, since tall trees casting shadows on paths and clearings makes the situation relatably horrible. Like animal phobias, the fear of the dark may worsen an existing fear of the woods or even can be the primary cause of that that fear of trees. Xylophobia is also known as hylophobia.
8. Dentophobia = The fear of dentists:
Are you afraid of going to the dentists? Well, the answer is probably 'no'. But what will you say when it comes to the people who are suffering from dentophobia? According to healthline, dentophobia can present such a severe fear that you avoid the dentist altogether. Even the mere mention or thought of the dentist may cause anxiety. Nightmares and panic attacks may also occur. According to smilelign, The most common cause for Dentophobia and most phobias in general, is that they are the result of a previous traumatic experience. This is what most behavioural psychologists conclusively agree. If the sufferer has had a previous experience that was particularly painful, levels of anxiety and overthinking can increase. An another name of dentophobia is odontophobia.
9. Neophobia = The fear of new things and experiences:
The life of a human is much more variable than we can ever be thinking of. In different stages of our life, we have to adapt different new experiences and things in our life. But, for the people, suffering from neophobia, it can be one of the most daunting tasks to do ever. People suffering from neophobia might face a lot of obstacles while bringing a new change to their life or lifestyle. On the top of that, they feel extremely awkward when it comes to accepting new things or objects.
10. Gephyrophobia = The fear of crossing bridges:
When people with gephyrophobia try to cross a bridge, then their hearts race and their palms sweat. They may also have trouble breathing and can be feeling light-headed when they try to cross a bridge. For the most part, the mere thought or anticipation of it may also make the person have a panic attack if they will try to cross a bridge.

1. Cyberphobia = The fear of technological materials like computer and mobile phones.

ReplyDeleteHi Abida! I've never heard of any of those phobias. And, what's so ironic is I have one of them, "dentophobia." Whenever I go to a new dentist I have to let him know about my fear, and warn him/her that I might not come back if the visit is too traumatic for me. And, trust me, I was so traumatized at a dental visit that I wouldn't see another dentist for 5 years! That post was so interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of any of these, but I have come to despise my phone. I miss the days when you could leave the house and have no one bother you!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about a lot of these. How interesting! I know I have a fear of the dentist!
ReplyDeleteI have the fear of dentists as I have had plenty of painful work done. I have 11 implants and one had to be adjusted without pain meds as the meds were not working.
