Come on, no one liked this one? I found it hilarious.
Luposlipaphobia - fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor

Yeea, but that one isn't a real phobia ^^

To be honest, I don't think any phobia is too crazy or strange because it is an irrational mindset that is triggered by any event and grows on a person until it affects their everyday life. I personally only have 2 phobias, and one isn't so irrational cause it's the most common. Yea, fear of spiders.

. Yea, fear of spiders.


I don't mind spiders at all, I just jump when I roll over in my bed and there's a spider right in front of my nose. After that I just put it outside lol.

Sinestrophobia

Sinistrophobia. Sorry, I just had to make use of my rudimentary latin vocabulary knowledge.
I guess Dextrophobia would be for anything rightsided.

Thanks for the fix. I get A-Word-A-Day on my email, and an alternate definition of 'sinister' is 'Of or pertaining to the left hand.' And then I found the phobia, so...

I guess Dextrophobia would be for the right hand or side, it Sinister is the left side, than...

A funny story, but when I was in the 6th grade, we had to write a paper on what Phobia we had. So, I asked the teacher what the phobia was that 'theres always someone out to kill you' and she said that was just 'Paranoia', haha.

Yes, I do suffer from Paranoia.

That is where it originated. It isn't a 'real' phobia.

Katsaridaphobia- fear of roaches

I catch or squish spiders/any bug with my bare hands for sissy friends, I've had pet rats and snakes, as a kid I used to catch those little green lizards that are everywhere in the south and clamp their jaws onto my ears (you know, earrings ha)... But I've always been terrified of roaches! I can't even indirectly touch them, and the smell of roach spray gets my heart pounding. I even have to turn away from pictures. It's one of the dumbest phobias ever I think... Oh the shame!
