Basophobia- Fear of walking

That's the oddest one out of the B section. If you are scared of walking then I wonder how the person will perform simple task like going to the bathroom, feeding themselves and other things. They probably have house-keepers for such things. But still. You shouldn't be afraid of walking.

You shouldn't be afraid of walking.


They might be afraid of breaking bones in their bodies, so fixing the problem before it arises I guess.

But, still a fear of walking is pretty stupid.

Neophobia- Fear of anything new

I'm sure more than a third of humanity has that phobia...

Sitophobia- Fear of food

How do they eat 0.o do they take everything in fluid state?

Geliophobia- Fear of laughter

That's almost what I have. I probably have a weak Gelotophobia - Fear of being laughed at. Luckily not showing on the web (just so you know you won't be able to take advantage of that )

I just want to post the definition of phobia for you guys to keep in mind.

Phobia -

an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation


Remember that it isn't just a fear of something.

A fear of walking? That doesn't sound too common, but yea maybe you're right.

I personally have hemophobia, I absolutely hate blood.
