What’s your phobia? Are you scared of heights or spiders? Gurl, ya boring. Get your things and leave. 

Here are the WEIRDEST, and I really mean weirdest, phobias that people actually have!

1. Arachibutyrophobia

Sounds kinda like a fear of spiders, right? It isn’t! It is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Bat-shit crazy, am I right?

This phobia could be related to the fear of chocking or even the fear of sticky things but it’s really bad. If you have this, how would you even eat peanut butter? 

2. Ergophobia

I wish I had this phobia because then I will have a good reason to not work. Don’t know how I will get money though…

This is fear of work or the workplace. This phobia could be related to other fears too, like fear of failing at a task or even public speaking. 

3. Octophobia

This is the fear of the number 8. I pity the Malaysian Chinese with this fear. Most Chinese believe that number 8 is a lucky number and often makes sure that the number is present in their lives. 

Wait, does this mean that a person who has this fear is unlucky too? 

4. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Wanna know what’s so ironic about this phobia? This phobia is literally the fear of long words. Isn’t that just crazy? 

They should reconsider shortening this name. Imagine a person with this phobia trying to tell their friend that they have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. I don’t think its possible. 

5. Pogonophobia

Okay, if you have this phobia then you can never date a hairy guy. This is a fear of beards. 

I wonder what happens if you start being friends with a guy when he doesn’t have a beard, then he reaches puberty and grows one. Do you just not be his friend anymore? 

6. Vestiphobia

The fear of clothes? Apparently, it is a fear of a specific item of clothing. But what if, hear me out, you have a severe case of vestiphobia and are afraid of all clothing. Do you walk around naked?

I guess you could live in a nude community but what if you’re also shy of being seen naked?
