With the exception of one person we’re all afraid of something. Some
of us however, whether due to a traumatic experience or just bad luck,
have fears that could be classified as being a bit more irrational. These
are some of the strangest phobias you could have.


Ablutophobia
If you have ablutophobia then you had better go grab some deodorant
because you are probably too scared to take a bath or clean yourself.

Ergophobia
Ergophobia is the fear of work or the workplace environment. On a
serious note however, psychologists believe it is a combination of
various fears such as failing at assigned tasks, social anxiety, and
public speaking.

Nomophobia
Short for no-mobile-phone phobia, this is the constant fear of not
having service and according to researchers in the UK a whopping
50% of people have it. Third world…we apologize.

Philophobia
Although butterflies in the stomach are often associated with love, for
someone with philophobia those butterflies are more like deadly
scorpions, as they are petrified of falling in love. Unfortunately many
people in this category end up living a life of solitude and fear of
commitment.

Somniphobia
Also known as hypnophobia, this is the abnormal fear of falling
asleep. Oftentimes it can be the result of people feeling as though
they are losing control and nightmares have been known to cause it
as well.

Heliophobia
In a sort of modern day vampirism, heliophobia is actually defined as
fear of the sun. Although it sounds harmless, it can actually be quite
serious and lead to vitamin D deficiency as a result of staying indoors.

Chaetophobia
Although some people with chaetophobia only fear loose or detached
hair, others can be terrified by the hairs on their very own bodies.
