16. Somniphobia
I don’t know if they depend on sleeping pills to sleep. They are afraid of sleeping so it must be difficult for them to want to sleep or even take a nap.
17. Papyrophobia
This is the fear of papers. I don’t know how students who have this fear make it when they have to use exercise books in school (and their parents are unable to afford a computer or smartphone).
18. Podophobia
I rarely look at my feet but you can imagine the heart beating fast when you look at your feet because you have a fear of feet. Or, looking at someone’s else foot.
19. Leukophobia
Again, there are people who fear the colour white. I don’t know how they avoid white since it’s one of the most common seen colours.
20. Scoptophobia
I don’t like being stared at. I get uncomfortable. There are people who are good at staring at someone with unflinching eyes. Well, if you have a fear of being scared at, you have this phobia.
I thought that papyrophobia would be the fear of ancient Egypt.
Ahh…from the papyrus…I think it closely resembles papyrus since the papy is the shortened form of payprus. Maybe…
Hmm… You go deeper in the jungle of phobias, dear friend. May the shade of my eyes does not bring down those who have Scoptophobia.
Hahaha…I hope they won’t fall down.
Interesting phobias, human brain and emotions work in such amazing ways.
I agree. When emotions override the brain, the fear is real and intimidating.
i am really enjoying this series! now the fear of sleeping while someone is staring at you, or worst not only are they staring at you but they are staring at your feet!
Oh my goodness, I will literally faint. That would be too much to bear with my heart beating thrice the normal beat because of three fears at the same time.
did not mean to alarm! fear is a funny thing.
No! I just thought about it and I knew the only thing I could is faint because the fear would be too much.
always hard to deal with things we are scared of!
I too dislike anyone staring at me.
It makes even talking to that person difficult.
There are many interesting and strange phobias. Such as Leukophobia.
There are so many phobias which are not common that makes them strange.
I hope I never have to deal with a serious phobia.
Yes, it will be very detrimental to your life. I hope too in my case.
