Logophobia...

Fear is inherent in everybody. What makes it different is what the people are afraid of. But there are some very different, very weird types of phobias, the presence of which is baffling as these are real fears. Here is a list of some strange n some hilarious phobias.

Philophobia - Fear of falling in love or being in love.

Phobophobia - Fear of phobias.

Aibohphobia - Fear of palindromes (It is not an actual word; aiboh is not of course Greek or Latin for Palindrome, but is simply intended to make the word itself palindromic).

Anemophobia - Fear of air.

Antidaeophobia - Fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (fictional, from Gary Larson cartoon).

Caligynephobia, Venustraphobia - Fear of beautiful women. (Really????)

Eleutherophobia - Fear of freedom.

Euphobia - Fear of hearing good news.(Huh?)

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - Fear of the number 666

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words.

Levophobia - Fear of things to the left side of the body.

Melophobia, Musicophobia - Fear or hatred of music.

Papaphobia - Fear of the Pope. (Lolz…:-D)

I believe we should never run from our fears, 'coz when they catch up to us, we're too tired to fight. It’s true… the way I see it.
