The wierdest phobia you know of

[Kortney]

aibohphobia: the fear of palindromes(words spelled the same forwards and backwards like radar, level, etc.)

Haha, that one doesn't exist.

I think Tetraphobia is a funny one. That's a fear of the number four.

hippopotomonstrosequippedaliafobie

I have erotophobia. Basically, the fear of anything sexual, including being in the situation, witnessing it, reading it, or even being told of it.

AHAHAHAHAh.. sorry >.<

Uhmm.. Chronophobia? Fear of time.. That'd make you paranoid no..? ( I don't have it, don't even know if it's an official phobia.. sounds like one though..

It's funny right now because my friend just had me go into the depths of /b/, catch his thread before it was deleted, search it for pics he uploaded, then figure out the girl it was. I'd never looked at porn before, and it disgusted me, but I can't resist a challenge.

Does that not mean you're almost an eternal virgin? Unless you can overcome that phobia..

Well, I attach emotions to everything. So, casual sex would be impossible for me. But, if there was enough emotion behind it, I could handle it.

Man, thats horrible... but on the bright side your girlfriend would never have to worry about commitment, and getting to that stage with someone would probably result in a more productive and loving relationship than most.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is a fear of long words... which is pretty ironic i think.
I've also heard of a fear of glad rap and peanut butter sticking to the top of your mouth. don't know what there called though.

Coulrophobia. Fear of clowns. I have this.

This isn't weird, clowns are disgustingly creepy.

To contribute, koumpounophobia, the fear of buttons (as in the buttons on clothing). Not sure where I heard about it but I remembered it because it fascinated me, to have a fear of something so common and so harmless must be horrible.

 

[shadyh8er]

There was a phobia category on Jeopardy! one day, and I remember one of the phobias being Geniophobia.

It's the fear of the chin.....no seriously.

Oddly specific, but still just plain wierd.

fear of being watched by ducks

Spoiler: Look at it...

Sorry for the single-image-post, but it will make at least one person laugh, so I had to.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

Not sure of the name, but fear of realtors.

Seriously, though. Atomosphobia, fear of atomic explosions is pretty weird. So is Doraphobia, fear of animal skins or hides. Also, Peladophobia, fear of bald people. And there's Levo and Dextrophobia, fear of things to the leaf and right of the body, respectively.

Hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. The fear of long words. I shit you not, look it up.

That's what I was gonna say. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. I think the word was invented as a joke.
How about anemophobia, the fear of wind. Scary.
