Recently, I read Sis GarrethGrey's article about ,"My son and his biggest fear - phonophobia" she stated about Phonophobia which means phobia of sound

Phobia is the term that we use in order to refer an extreme fear of something, it can be a thing, event, feelings, and others that you can imagine. Since phobia is an interesting topic, I would like to share too what are those well known phobia, that I personally experience and discover from the people that I know.

________________________

Acrophobia

Fear of heights. I have shared about, and based on the comments most of the users here are afraid of heights. I was once in this situation, that I m extremely afraid of heights. When I'm at the malls, I need to stay away from those glass railings, because it feels like my soul is going out of my body. My brain keeps on alarming about the possibility that I will fall, but fortunately I overcome it now.

Coulrophobia

Fear of clowns. I have seen in many videos about those kids who are afraid of clowns. Maybe the movie "It", trigger their feelings that clowns are evil and enemy. I was in grade one when we have a Christmas Party, then our teacher invite clowns to show us magic tricks but then one of my classmate keeps on crying, we found out the she's afraid of clowns and no matter how they make her feel better she was like having a trauma seeing clowns.

Gerascophobia

Fear of growing old. When I was a kid I think I have this phobia, I always get worried, everyday, thinking about what if my parents get old, even me. I was filled with negativity and crying about many possibilities. When I reached teenage, I hate having my birthday because for me I'm getting old and I don't like it. Now I'm totally fine and healed by the Holy Spirit.

Glossophobia

Fear of speaking in public. Maybe many of us are afraid of speaking in public. But there are people out there who really have an extreme phobia of speaking in public. My friends told me that their classmate during highschool is afraid of speaking public. Since there are activities like reporting that he need to go in front and speak, this classmate that they are referring always turns red, trembling, and sweating too much. He likes to hold his handkerchief and in just like couple of minutes his handkerchief turns wet and those students in front can clearly see how it dripping with sweat.

Astrapophobia

Fear of lightning. I really hate lightning especially when I was a kid, maybe it triggered when a news in our local place spread that there's a man who was hit by the lightning, and that the doctors need to cut his leg in order to survive. Also when I attended the Red Cross camping, at 7 pm, I saw how the powerful lightning strike the field, that it light like morning. Also it's sounds, the thunder makes if more scary.

Nyctophobia

Fear of darkness. My uncle have this phobia. According to my father he already have this when they are just a kid, and now at the age of 45 he still have it. He can't breathe well without light, he used to think that someone is looking at him in the dark and even terrified with ghosts. When he visit in our house, we need to open all our lights at night just for him to sleep.

Philophobia

Fear of falling in love. Ehhh. Who have this phobia? Haha I know there are factors who create this phobia and I understand that sometimes this phobia is better than pushing yourself to get hurt again and again.

I think I have a fear of growing old but the reason why I have a fear is because I am scared that I will grow old failing and not achieving any of my goals in life.

I'm sorry this is a very pessimist comment @Ling01

Well, I have a Glossophobia caused by my anxiety. I just don't tremble and shake, I really find all the reasons to skip that public speaking or even an oral recitation everytime.

Hihi. Thanks for sharing this. I think I should share an article about this, to explain it further.

love is always a mystery sometimes everyone is afraid to repeat their love story because they have experienced bad things because of this basic reason most people who have had their hearts broken before are afraid to love someone.

philophobia is felt by some people, especially young people because love and heartbreak are mostly in these people. Honestly, I also felt the same way when I was in high school, it might be too early for a student's love to run aground when he had to be left behind. When I was still in school, I was afraid to fall in love because I didn't want the pain to happen again, but when I started college I started tried everything and I realized that not all love has to be owned until death.
