and yes you are right...there will be a whole lot more out there in the making
ha ha LOL.. this was funny.. i think I have Mageirocophobia and Thaasophobia, found a name to my fears.. :)
nice facts...:)
Hydrophobophobia - Fear of rabies...actually this has a scientific basis....these people's throat muscles contract[due to stimulation] every time they drink[causing intense pain]..thats the reason they get this...
Thats one long list of phobias....and such interesting ones...of course, some I didn't even know existed :(
I think i'm going to develop a phobia for not blogging one day..
lets see, what can that be called?
bhaiya....
kal din bhi ashubh hi tha....
coromondal express derailed ho gyi..us mein plane crash..britain mein ek plane ka crash landing..landing gear failure....raat ko patna mein ek aur train derail.... and different accidents mein 200 log mare...
socho...ab toh mujhe bhi friday the thirteenth ka phobia ho gya hai .. :-|
sometimes i feel like we take things too far, exaggerate them beyond comprehension and make ourselves believe that we are "sick".
I wonder what purpose this classification serves.. hehe
Phew..quite a list there!!!:)
what is the phobia for FEAR OF LIZARDS?? my friend has it..wont step inside her own home if she sees one or hallucinates one!!!:D
@I am
I guess you are not fat then.....both your phobias make you Health Concious :)
@brocasarea
Oh.....ok thanks for expalianing....:)
@prats...
It might turn out to be combination of
Scriptophobia : Fear of Writing
Doxophobia : Fear of expressing opinions or of receiving praise
I will name it digitechscriptodoxophopia
@the daydremer
You are right and wrong.....these things have happened on normal days too...just that when its 13th you have trained your mind to read and follow such news...
As an exercise pick any date and any day of the month....and think accident and pick a paper or tv or net...you will find atleast five....
in short fear not bro
@raaji
I dont think its necessarily a fear. Its more to do with ones mental makeup.
It is tough I know but in this case people actually have a fear of life being normal and good....so they keep of going back to the "sick" one just to prove that they are right....
@aaarti
Thanks and fear of lizards is:
