I will be posting five weird Phobias you might have never known.
You’ll be astonished there are people who have a fear of things which you would have never thought existed.
Here they are:
1. Otophobia
There are people who fear opening one eye. They ensure they open both eyes because they’re afraid what might happen when they open one eye.
2. Cyberphobia
Yah, there are people who fear computers. It is understandable but they can overcome this fear since learning computer is not difficult.
3. Heliphobia
I have noted all of us here love sunlight. Some of us are wishing for it. But, there are people who are afraid of sunlight. They will avoid going out of their houses during sunlight.
4. Ataxophobia
We all know the benefits of being tidy. Well, there are people who fear being tidy. I don’t know what makes them fear being tidy or ensuring their surrounding is tidy.
5. Botanophobia
All of us here love plants. It’s one of the most posted category on this site. However, there are people who fear plants. They wouldn’t near plants not watch any photo of plants.

That’s a great idea. To me, all these phobias are new. Some are really a little “weird”.
There are many fears in this world but some as you’ve said are weird.
You have listed some very interesting phobias. I may know some people who fear being tidy. 😀
Really! What do you is their reason for fearing being tidy?
I was just joking, because the person I had in mind is very messy, but people are different. Some really can’t focus on anything unless their physical space is neat and tidy, othes may even get inspired by the mess when seeing random objects together, for example. These are only my speculation, in case of phobias it’s really more serious and less racional.
Ahh…Yes, there are people who want to be tidy because it doesn’t look staying in a messy place. And some don’t care. But those who have the fear, it’s quite serious.
Those are day to day life happenings and strange that people have these phobias.
Yes. People have real fears for things that look ‘innocent.’
Very interesting and amusing thinking of people having these phobias.
It shows how there is something that is feared by somebody.
We are all very different. That is why we accept things differently.
You are right. We all have our fears since we’re different.
This is crazy, lol. Otophobia
While you might’ve fun closing one eye, to someone else it’s a nightmare:)
Another interesting post to read about Thanks!
Thank you. You are welcome.
Hard to believe that someone is scared of plants, but
phobias should be taken seriously. They can affect daily activities and person’s life .
Yes. It can make living very difficult.
ok i did not know about 1/2 of these – i learned something new today. I guess I don’t have NewLearnophobia (fear of learning something new every day)!
Hahaha…there might be that fear. There might be people who fear learning new things:)
i am also scared of Legos – legounderfootphobia from when my kids were little.
Really! Why do you fear Legos?
have you ever stepped on one at night in your bare feet?
i have
i fear the little creatures scurry to be underfoot on purpose.
I have never. I can understand why you would have that phobia. What are you doing to get over it?
