Strange Fears and Phobias

Tweet

We are all scared of something. But what is it that scares you? Is your fear normal? Is it weird? Here are some of the many strange phobias. Liticaphobia Being that the United States is extremely sue happy, it isn’t surprising that some people are afraid of lawsuits. It’s a real fear. And because you could literally get sued for anything these days, it’s understandable that this is a scary thing. It really is. Peladophobia Peladophobia is a fear of bald people. This means you would be scared of Mr. Clean, Steve Harvey, Bruce Willis, and Howie Mandel. Turophobia If you’re from Wisconsin, then you better not have this fear. Turophobia is the fear of cheese. Didn’t think this was possible? Turns out it is. Sufferers of this strange phobia usually associate cheese with some kind of traumatic memory. Turophobes literally have to run away when they see cheese. And it isn’t always type specific while some are afraid of all cheese, some are afraid of just one cheese in particular. Maybe they are just scared of the stinky cheese. Ablutophobia Taking a bath is an essential form of personal hygiene. However, for people with Ablutophobia, they do not believe that washing or cleaning is doable because it is something that terrorizes them. This particular phobia should not be confused with fear of cleanliness, as the latter refers to the dread of the cleaning process itself. It is usually found in women and children experiencing emotional instabilities due to past traumas or other distressing reasons. Something a little different to read on this Monday morning. The last Monday in November. Enjoy your day!
