Phobias

well, I posted this for three reasons; First, I'm bored. Second, I saw a website with a list of all the phobias and I would just like to make some comments on some of them here. And thirdly, I'm bored. So without further ado, here I go.

Ablutophobia - Fear of bathing, washing, or cleaning.
At first I couldn't believe that someone would have this kind of fear. And I thought that anyone who has this kind of fear has a high possibility of not having that much of a social life. I mean, if you have fear of taking a bath or washing yourself, others might have that tendency of staying away.
Agoraphobia - Fear of places or events where escape is impossible or when help is unavailable.
The only thing that came into mind was that these guys might not have the interest of playing video games, let alone games like Pacman.
Algophobia - Fear of pain.
Okay, now a person who have this would probably have a pretty hard time most of the time. I mean, sometimes, even guys who don't have this would feel it if, for example, if they were trying something new like, let's say, sky diving or something like that. But someone who feels this all the time, again, would have a hard time since life is filled with painful experiences, right?
Androphobia - Fear of men.
Okay, again, hard time.
Decidophobia - Fear of making decisions.
Everyone has to make decisions in his or her life, so uh...you get my point.
Gerascophobia - Fear of growing old or ageing.
Ageing is definitely unavoidable so again, hard time.
Heliophobia - Fear of Sunlight.
I would expect someone with this to have pale skin.
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - Fear of the number 666.
Very uncommon, I assume. Plus, it's a mouthful. XD
Osmophobia - Fear of smells.
Again, unavoidable. You would have to be able to smell something eventually.
Phagophobia - Fear of swallowing.
A person with this would be faced by two choices I think: Face their fear, or hunger.
Phobophobia - Fear of having a phobia.
Well, that's a neverending loop now, isn't it.
Somniphobia - Fear of sleep.
Okay, another thing that, imo, is very unavoidable since one's body would have to rest at one point.
Tetraphobia - Fear of the number 4.
Again, very uncommon.

Yeah, so that ends my comments about some phobias that I find peculiar.

DISCLAIMER - To all those who have one or more of the phobias mentioned above, I have no intentions whatsoever about insulting you. I simple want to speak my mind as to what I think about these.
