Euphobia - Fear of hearing good news I bet anyone reading this would be happy to hear good news, from child birth to a new job appointment. But people suffering from this kind of phobia are the opposite, they thrive on hearing bad news, enjoy chaotic environment and will not show happiness when good news is shared around them. Sounds like 'bad belle' people right? This phobia is usually caused because a person heard a good news in the past but was disappointed because it was untrue. Aurophobia - Fear of gold Gold is one of the most sought after treasure in history, people can do almost anything to acquire it because of the enormous wealth it can provide. However there are some people that eill have panic attacks, nausea, shortness of breath and feel very uncomfortable when the see gold talkless of touching it. Not sure any Nigerian will have this phobia o Cathisophobia - Fear of sitting Almost every of our daily task will involve sitting like when we drive, watch movies, work at the office, wash items, wait for another person and so on. Though we it sounds like a small thing, we realize its importance when we stand for hours, sitting makes performing task more comfortable but for some people the reverse is that case. Cathisophobic people avoid sitting at all costs because it makes them feel trapped and controlled. This kind of phobia affects almost of the aspect of daily life and makes simple task seem difficult. Vestiphobia - Fear of clothing Fear of clothing? Really? Cloths are made to provide warmth and beautification. But imagine a person being scared of wearing cloths especially tight ones and turtle necks. People with this phobia usually feel like the cloths might choke them so they prefer being nude. Vestiphobia is triggered by past experiences of riddicule by peers because of cloth worn. Leukophobia - Fear of Colour White Now its is very common to be afraid of colour red because it is associated with danger, but the fear of colour white popularly known as the colour of peace and purity is another kettle of fish. Some people however have fear of this colour, people like this may just hate the colour, or had a bad experience in a place with a white background like on snow, whatever the trigger may be you see them with colorful things and living in colourful houses. Infact some women may be afraid of getting married because of the wearing white bridal clothes. Bro, i guess its time to observe your fiancee... just saying. And finally... Panaphobia - Fear of EverythingPanaphobia is usually a combination of two or more phobias in one person. Panaphobia can be very serious as a person can become afraid of anxiety itself. This kind of phobia tends to increase over time as the person continues to acquire other kinds of phobia through life. Phobia or no phobia learn your fears, that's the sure way to overcome them.
