Phobias are obsessive fears in which a person begins to fear certain phenomena, objects, diseases, situations, etc. Most often, we are talking about the fear of spiders, closed spaces, darkness, but there are also much more strange and ridiculous phobias.
Rare obsessive fears
Balloons are usually associated with holidays and fun, and therefore do not cause negative emotions. However, people suffering from globophobia are very afraid of such things. In most cases, those who are faced with this very unusual problem are afraid that the balloon will suddenly burst next to them.
Globophobia has another variety. Some people are afraid to pick up balloons filled with helium, because it seems to them that such a simple object may well lift a person into the air.
Sometimes in a person's life situations may arise when he reads some text and cannot understand its meaning. A technical article, a complex agreement or contract, highly specialized terms can be puzzling. As a rule, people are not afraid of this, but there are also those who are prone to acribophobia - an obsessive fear of not understanding the meaning of the text.
Agirophobia forces people to take long walks in order to get to the right place without crossing the road. This fear is not related to the fear of being hit by a car. On the contrary, agirophobes cannot cross the road even if it is empty.
The most amazing phobias
One of the strangest obsessive fears is metrophobia. People suffering from it are afraid of poets and poetry to a shiver. They are terrified by the very thought that someone nearby will begin to read a poem.
Of course, metrophobes are also very afraid of the fact that they themselves will have to do poetry or learn and recite other people's texts.
A very rare and completely inexplicable obsessive fear is genophobia. People suffering from her are afraid of knees, moreover, both their own and others. Seeing a bare knee, they are very frightened, so watching movies and even a simple walk can turn into torture for them.
Anatydaophobia looks more like a joke, but in fact, this disease really exists. Anatidaphobes are very afraid that somewhere in the world there is a duck watching them.
It is so important for some people to constantly communicate with someone and be needed that they even develop nomophobia - an obsessive fear that no one will call them. If the phone is silent for at least 5-10 minutes, such a person begins to feel discomfort, and the longer the call is not heard, the stronger the negative emotions become.
Finally, a classic example of a very unusual fear is phobophobia, i.e. fear of fear, fear of noticing at least some kind of phobia in oneself.
