Are you phobophobic? The fear of that and other strange things...


If you have a fear about developing a fear - you’re phobophobic. 

Here are some more unusual phobias:

• Omphalophobia- fear of the navel

• Nomophobia- fear of being without mobile phone coverage

• Papaphobia- fear of the pope

• Uranophobia- fear of heaven

• Chrometophobia - the fear of money

• Pognophobia - the fear of beards

• Geliophobia - the fear of laughing

• Cacophobia - the fear of ugliness

Not quite as unusual is coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. Many children and adults alike are uncomfortable with a painted on false expression. Its not unlike maskaphobia, the fear of masks.
