I found a website which has a lists of phobias and I finally found mine. I'm Anthropophobic. Anthropophobia means fear of people, which is exactly what I've got and why I have to many hermit tendencies. My mum wants me to go to the grocery store later today, which is fine, but she wants me to get some sandwich meat. That part is what I don't like... it means that I have to talk to the deli people and tell them what I want. Quite terrifying actually.

But anyway.. There are some very amusing phobias... Like, Arachibutyrophobia, which is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. And Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, which very ironically and cruelly means the fear of long words.. There's a fear of laughing, of swallowing air, of opening your eyes, all sorts of things. If you've got some spare time go to http://www.phobialist.com/reverse.html and it's got a veeeeeery long list of phobias. Great fun.
