Most phobias aren’t rational fears
What’s scary about flowers ? Nothing, unless you happen to suffer from anthophobia, a fear of flowers. But flowers aren’t nearly as terrifying as clouds if you have nephophobia, a fear of clouds
Most phobias aren’t rational fears, like being afraid of getting sick or experiencing pain. A phobia is an extreme fear of something simple that most people don’t find frightening at all. Some of the most common phobias include fear of heights acrophobia and fear of spiders arachnophobia. But some phobias are much more bizarre, like fear of knees genuphobia, fear of poetry metrophobia, or fear of the color yellow xanthophobia
If all these big words ending in phobia are giving you logophobia ( fear of words ), don’t worry. Phobia names come from Latin or Greek and are difficult to remember and pronounce. They sound like gibberish to most native English speakers, too
