The word phob is derived from the Greek word 'to fear'.


Phobia is defined as a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous. They are often seemingly normal for the average person, but strike terror in the heart of the poor soul suffering from them.


Here are some of the more unusual ones I came across:


Peladophobia- Fear of bald people

Phobophobia- Fear of phobias

Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow or the word yellow

Pupaphobia- Fear of puppets

Numerophobia- Fear of numbers

Cyclophobia- Fear of bicycles
