Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Botanophobia: the fear of plants I didn't know there was a word for this (though I guess I should have, every other phobia has a name). I've always called it herbiphobia. I have a self-diagnosed mild case, and due to my immersion therapy I now have some rather nice gardens.

I have a slight, self-diagnosed case of clourophobia: the fear of clowns. (just something about them, i find extremely creepy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Almost everyone has at least one phobia, including me. I have a slight, self-diagnosed case of clourophobia: the fear of clowns. (just something about them, i find extremely creepy) I actually have a mild fear of a mechanical Santa Claus that they place outside one children's clothing shop in winter time in my hometown.

itachi-san Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have a fear of spoilers. If a commercial for Heroes or Lost comes on I do everything I can to not hear or see any of it I'm not looking it up to see if it actually exists so I'll just call it: spoilerophobia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
