Now here's something wild, look how many terms we have for: Tokophobia - fear of pregnancy or childbirth Parturiphobia- Fear of childbirth Lockiophobia- Fear of childbirth Maieusiophobia - Fear of childbirth ...in conclusion, it must be a really goddamn frightening experience!
but here's some more funny ones: Symmetrophobia- Fear of symmetry Pupaphobia - Fear of puppets Panophobia or Pantophobia- Fear of everything. (WAAAGH!) Alektorophobia- Fear of chickens Euphobia- Fear of hearing good news
Can you imagine a conversation with a Euphobic? Doctor: I have the news on your diagnosis. Patient: GASP! Doctor: I'm afraid you're euphobic. Patient: Oh thank god, that's terrible.

I looked fo rone where someone is afraid of trash but I didn't see one. I seriously have a thing with it. Not because it's gross or anything (well part of it yeah) but evenwhen I know I can wash my hands as soon as I touch it I just can't do it. The trash can. Trash bag. anything trash related.. ew..

oh, i also have a really terrible phobia of being underwater. the only water i can stand to be in is pool water and it has to be broad daylight outside and i HATE the deep end. even the thought of being underwater in a lake or river scares me (literally) almost to tears/nausea. i hated the movie The Cave because those ******** were ALWAYS underwater and it made me queasy. confused

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words
I have a fear of...being inside a christian church. No lie, I just can't do it. I think it has something to do with the ones I was forced into when I was small. I just can't, I feel like I'm going to throw up, or start crying and I get all shaky when I go inside a church. I can go past a church, right in front of it even, but being inside? No way, not me, not ever. I mean, when I was ten or something some of my mom's friends tried to get me in a church I cried but they forced me inside anyway. I spent the entire time just sitting there trying to convince myself I was not in a church. Thank all that is good my mother never goes to church. And yet, I'm perfectly fine with gods/godeses/The God.
