But there are so many TYPES. . .

• aerophobia - dread of fresh air, or air in motion. Probably caused by over-exposure to games consoles in early childhood. I can't help but wonder how sufferers of this manage to breathe...
• agyiophobia - fear of being in the street. Since "The Street" in this country often refers to the soap opera "Coronation Street", I can actually understand this one :o)
• aichmophobia - fear of being touched by a finger. The original "itch you just can't scratch"?
• ataxiophobia - fear of untidiness. I think my mother and girlfriend would both agree this is one that I certainly don't suffer from :o)
• basiphobia - fear of walking. Appears to be widespread in America - Presumably it's the opposite of amaxophobia, or fear of riding in a vehicle.
• chromophobia - fear of colors. How, exactly, does this one work?
• chronophobia - fear of the duration of time. I can't decide if sufferers would avoid watches like the plague, or wear several very, very accurate ones.
• eosophobia - fear of the dawn. Can I use this as an excuse to always have a lie-in? :o)
• ergasiophobia - fear of doing work. I've definitely got this one :o)
• gephyrophobia - fear of crossing a bridge. I blame the three billy goats gruff for this.
• gymnophobia - fear of the sight of the naked body. If they could find a way of inducing this, the internet would collapse overnight :o)
• kinesophobia - fear of movement. How easy it would be to taunt these people. "The earth revolves at a thousand miles an hour! ahahaha!"
• levophobia - fear of objects on the left. Exactly 50% of the entire universe scares these people.
• panphobia - fear of absolutely everything. I dread to think how the therapy sessions must go...
• phobophobia - the fear of developing a phobia. Presumably one simply points out that suffering from this one means you already are suffering from a phobia, and they can then stop worrying about it.
• tremophobia - fear of trembling. Since fear causing people to shiver, this one must be really tricky to stop once it starts...

All the above are genuine phobias. Amazing, eh?
