In this world I think there is phobia for almost everything. Some people are afraid of highs, others from spiders and so one this is quite normal thing and I understand that, since I do not like highs too. But there are also much more "interesting" phobias I have seen in the TV. People were afraid of mill houses other of wind turbines. One women was so afraid of dirt she did not clean the house for years so there was unimaginable dirt everywhere, this is quite cliche.
These phonies are strange for me. I think in the past people were more psychical balanced and there was not as many strange phobias people suffered from as these days.
What is the most weird phobia you have ever heard about or suffered from? Do you have any phobia and do you try to fight with it?

well I don't know how true this actually was, because I saw it on a talk show, but this was definitely strange. They were doing one of those shows where they were helping people confront their fears. There was a guy on there that claimed to be deathly afraid of peaches. They held up a peach in front of him and he went ballistic. He even screamed when he saw a PICTURE of a peach, which kind-of lead me to believe that he was making it all up just to get on TV, but how weird is it if someone is afraid of a piece of fruit?

The weidest phobia that i have ever heard... is the fear of turning right... so this person doesn't turn right... every time she walks or drives a car... when she is going to a place where there is a need to turn right... she would just look for a way to get there by turning left... even if it take her a long time... that is just so weird...
I do not have any phobias... and i am afraid of thing the common people are afraid of...
