What are you afraid of?
Some of the most common fears that people have are fear of heights, spiders, and dying.
But the people on todays list have some very interesting fears.
From the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth to the fear of air
and wind lets talk about these and more only in todays video.
Top 10 real phobia that people actually have.
Starting off this countdown we have arachibutyrophobia I swear these complex names are going to kill
me today, so if i pronounce one wrong, please just let me be.
Anyways This is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth/ the fear
of being choked by peanut butter.
The severity of this phobia depends on the person.
Some can eat small amounts of peanut butter, where as others cant eat it at all, and avoid
anything with the consistency of peanut butter all together.
Its thought that this phobia might actually stem from a bigger phobia of things that are
sticky, or a fear of choking.
You might develop this fear if maybe you had a bad experience with peanut butter.
Maybe you almost choked on it.
So i suggest maybe dont shovel spoon fuls of peanut butter into your mouth as a snack.
Stick to having it on sandwiches and what not.
In our 9th spot we have ablutophobia - call to action
This is the fear of bathing, or cleaning one self.
Now dont get this mixed with aqua phobia which is the fear of water, however ablutophobia
may develop later on from this phobia.
Anyways this phobia often occurs in children, but they tend to grow out of it when they
become older.
However there are cases of some adults having this fear.
As a result any person with this phobia will avoid bathing or showering.
This fear may have been developed after a traumatic event involving water.
Or maybe they are secretly a mermaid, and literally cant get wet or else they will bust
a tail.
Moving on at number 8 we have xanthophobia This is the fear of the colour yellow.
I didnt know this was a thing but apparently it is.
A person with this phobia are typically afraid of anything that is yellow, like flowers,
pineapple you get it.
Which is sad because this phobia interferes with their everyday life because yellow things
are everywhere.
The most common cause of this phobia is from having a bad experience with the colour.
Maybe they were stung by a bee.
Or hit by a yellow school bus.
Then they go on fearing the colour yellow.
Like they now associate yellow with bad luck.
In our 7th spot we have numerophobia.
This is the fear of numbers.
This could stem from the fear of doing math or dealing with numbers.
Cause we all know that math sucks.
But did you know there are a bunch of other phobias having to deal with specific numbers.
Like octophobia which is the fear of the number 8.
People with this phobia not only fear the number 8 but also the the infinity sign symbol..
Because its an 8 sideways.
This phobia might stem from some traumatic event involving the number 8.
Like maybe they were involved in an accident that happened on the 8th day of a month.
You get it.
Theres also triskaidekaphobia.
Which is the fear of the number 13.
Again this could be for similar reasons as i just mentioned.
Or it could be that they fear the number since 13 is associated with badluck.
Moving on at number 6 we have omphalophobia This is the fear of belly buttons.
Not gonna lie, if you really think about it belly buttons are pretty weird.
Anyways people that have this fear are scared of seeing or touching other belly buttons
or others.
Ya id be afraid to touch other peoples belly buttons too.
In fact, if this phobia is on the more extreme end they might even put a bandage over their
belly button so they dont have to see their own.
They also may avoid places where belly buttons might be exposed, like at swimming pools or
the beach.
Fun not so fun fact but alfred hitch cock had his belly button surgecially remove.
Not sure why but he did.
Fifth and halfway mark we have linonophobia The fear of string.
People with this phobia, get anxious when thinking about strings or string like objects
or when seeing them.
As a result they will avoid strings or anything to do with strings.
Such as sewing or tying their shoes.
People with this fear may have developed it if they were ever tied up in their past.
Maybe that was a punishment when they were a child.
Or you can even develop it if you watch tv or movies that show people tied up, while
lets say their house was being robbed or if they were kidnapped and held captive.
That can trigger this fear.
It can stem from the fear of being tied up or restrained.
Moving on at number 4 we have aerophobia Aerophobia is the fear of fresh air.
Yes air.
Its the fear of the movement of air too like drafts or breezes.
Not to be confused with the fear of flying.
Now heres the thing, this phobia is a symptom of rabies.
So people with rabies might get muscle spasms and i quote “ an intense startling reaction”
when exposed to a gust of air.
This is then what triggers the phobia.
People with this phobia then have a fear of going outside.
Moving on at number 3 we have nomophobia Nowadays we go everywhere with our phones.
They're practically fused into our skin.
Nomophobia is the fear of being without a phone.
And surprise surprise its a brand new phobia, thats been on the rise.
This phobia stems from the user having a cell phone addiction/dependency.
Usually people that are constantly on their phone will develop this phobia.
When they are then separated from their phone they will become anxious or nervous.
Or someone with this phobia might get anxious when they lose signal, or their phone runs
out of battery.
Whats scary is that this phobia is fairly common.
In our 2nd spot we have the urophobia This is a fear of urine.
Now theres too parts to this phobia.
One is the fear of pee itself.
Like the smell and colour etc. the second part is the fear of urinating.
Typically if they fear pee, they wont want to pee.
Other causes of this phobia, are if the person experience pain while urinating, or if they
have trouble urinating.
It can also develop if the person has bladder control issues.
If this is the case then they might be fearful of having an accident while in public.
And In our number 1 spot we have dextrophobia This phobia involves a fear of having objects
on the right side of your body.
Often people that have OCD will have this phobia.
They just cant stand having things to the right of them.
For example, if theyre sitting on the couch watching tv they may move the pillows and
the remote to the left side of their body so that theres nothing on their right.
But having this phobia might make it hard for the person to drive.
If they are in the left lane they might get very anxious about all the cars to the right
of them.
Thats all for todays video, which phobia did you find the most shocking also let me know
in the comment below what youre scared of.
