Fear is a part of life for many people. Almost everyone is afraid of something. For example, we all know people who are afraid of spiders, heights or small spaces. There are a lot of phobias that are relatively unknown, but that you still have to deal with on a regular basis. We have listed a few for you.

Don’t try to scare yourself.

Do you already know these fears?

Nomophobia

A fear inextricably linked to the digital age. No, we’re not talking about being afraid of technology. Rather the opposite. With Nomophobia you experience the constant fear of not being able to access your mobile phone. Does this sound familiar? Maybe especially for the younger generation.

Monophobia

If this bothers you, then playing hide and seek isn’t really your thing. However, as a seeker you will do your best to find the rest. People with monophobia fear being alone. A possible reason for this fear is if you have been abandoned in the past, for example in childhood.

Neophobia

A new job, a new relationship, a new education. New things are very exciting. Especially if you have neophobia. It’s the fear of being new or trying new things.

Decidophobia

Don’t give people with this phobia too many options. They experience selection pressure. Decidophobia means you are afraid of making decisions. If you’re already sweating when asked what you want for your birthday, you probably have this fear. Maybe, who’s to say?

The name makes more sense if you know what people with this phobia have to do. Did you guess? We will free the victims of this phobia and never rewrite the word for this fear. Anyway, this phobia is about the fear of long words. Let’s be honest, even if you don’t have this fear, you will get it from this word.

Taphophobia

There is a good chance that they will be cremated when they die (this has already been recorded). A person with taphophobia is afraid of being buried alive. Well, the thought of that isn’t very pleasant for anyone, but if you have tapophobia, you’re actually afraid of it happening.

Arachibutyrophobia

Eating can also be a necessary stress reliever for some people. It goes further than the fear of not liking something or accidentally biting into something hard. To name a few. People with arachybutyrophobia are afraid of peanut butter sticking to their palates. Very specific, but it really exists.

Phobophobia

We close with fear of fear. You read that right. Phobophobia is the fear of fear. This may sound crazy to some, but if you look at it from a different perspective, it may be one of the worst fears you can have. There are different fears out there. So if you suffer from this, unfortunately there is something to be afraid of.
