Dear Reader, I am very afraid.

From what you may ask? Well, chins, trees, and hair of course! Just in time for Halloween, check out some of the craziest phobias a person can have in TehTop10 – Strangest Phobias!

Fears. Some are pretty universal, such as heights or spiders. On the other hand, some seem a little odd. Ever heard of someone that’s afraid of flutes? Just in time for Halloween, here are ten of the most amazing and strangest phobias anyone can have.

  10. Dendrophobia – The Fear of Trees

Trees are usually pretty harmless. I mean, apart from the 36 tree-related deaths each year. But people with dendrophobia think differently. All those swaying trees seem to gather together. They’re planning something. You know it.

  9. Stasibasiphobia – The Fear of Walking

You should probably drive your car to work. Or take a train. Or fly. Anything but walking! People’s most basic form of movement happens to scare the bejesus out of you. Why? Nobody knows.

  8. Peladophobia – The Fear of Bald People

Ever seen your reflection in a bald man’s head? To someone with Peladophobia, this would be like watching a horror movie. If you’re afraid of bald people, eggs, watermelons, and anything elliptical, you could have Peladophobia.

  7. Ommetaphobia – The Fear of Eyes

The eyes…they are always watching. From everywhere. They see into your mind. They see into your soul…Sound familiar? Then you probably have Ommetaphobia.

  6. Nephophobia – The Fear of Clouds

Clear skies are so much more important if you have Nephophobia. Those evil poofballs of precipitation look suspiciously like cotton balls. Or kittens. …Scary?

  5. Nomatophobia – The Fear of Names

A rose smells as sweet by any other name. However, if you have Nomatophobia, all names are just as terrifying. If names like Robert and Susan strike fear into your heart, you should probably get some help.

  4. Xanthophobia – The Fear of the Color Yellow

Yellow is such a scary color. Such horrifying items as bananas, daisies, and sunshine are all yellow. Why must yellow be so terrible? WHY?!?

  3. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia – The Fear of Long Words

If pronouncing the name of this phobia scares you, you’ve got it. Believe me, you wont be winning any Scrabble competitions anytime soon. (Oh, and yes, this is the real name of the fear. Huh.)

  2. Cathisophobia – The Fear of Sitting

There may be a good side to this phobia. I’m sure your health will thank you for all the standing you’ll be doing. Every time you see a chair, sofa, bench, etc. you die a little inside. Just next time a friend asks you to pull up a seat, don’t run off screaming.

And the number one strangest phobia is…

  1. Panophobia – The Fear of Everything

You are so much more afraid than anyone else. At least, you’re afraid that you are. And afraid that you’re not. And afraid that you may be. And afraid that someone else may have your fears. And…

Well, I guess that wraps it up.

But seriously, get some help.
