Do you have associated phobias?

richkid · 01-09-2004

I came across a wide range of phobiasin a psychology book,and I'm sure theres hundereds of them,some as strange as phobia of AIR 8O and dolls (they can be scary,Chucky etc.)

Some i think associated with SAD:

SCOPOPHOBIA- being stared at
MONOPHOBIA- being alone.
ALELPHOBIA- imperfection
KAKORRAPHIAPHOBIA- Failure

I think i've incorporatd them all but possibly not as phobias,well i hope not!

I was just looking at the poll bit and I hadn't scrolled down yet, and I was wondering what they were...they use such obscure names for it! But I suppose that they would do as there are words for everything, in which case, some would need to have letters put in random order! (If you get where my thoughts are coming from!) Sorry, I'm just rambling now. I do suffer from those things, but I don't think it's a phobia as such...does one have to be diagnosed for phobias? I don't know...I think I have a phobia of speaking! (Now, is there a word for that?!?!?)

Iatrophobia - Fear of doctors.
Insectophobia - Fear of insects.
