Remember the thread R2 made about random superpowers (once again, great idea R2! Thanks!)? Well, I decided it was time for some...aggressive expansion.

Same rules. Go to the wiki (found here) and click that random page button. Let's see what you are afraid of...

My phobia for today would be:

Deprecorophobia

The fear of curses...hmm odd.

Chionophobia The fear of snow... Winter will be coming and I'll be hiding in my basement.

Beware the mirrors.

It'd be really bad for you when you're in a mirror maze.

Glad to know where to find you R2

Kryptophobia The fear of kryptids (any animal or plant whose existence has been suggested but not verified by the scientific community)

Whoa...I guess now I can be afraid of any beast (Loch ness monster, basilisk, Yeti etc.)

I'm rather disappointed I can't find a fear of spam bots in the phobia list. That thing took over 2 pages of Armor forums in only a moment.

Dipsophobia The fear of drinking alcohol. While I wouldn't want to drink alcohol, it's not to the point where I'm scared to drink it. If the world depended on me drinking a beer then I would most likely do it.

A phobia I found a while ago is Arachibutyrophobia -
The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth... which I find kind of odd.
But I have two phobias which aren't uncommon:
Trypanophobia - Fear of injections and needles
And a fear of elevators, which doesn't actually have a name for some reason?

I don't know if the link thingy worked btw

And a fear of elevators, which doesn't actually have a name for some reason?

It seems that the fear of elevators is just one aspect of claustrophobia, not a phobia of its own.
.
As for my random phobia of the day, I got Kosmikophobia, the fear of all kind of cosmic phenomena. I can understand that meteors can be dangerous, but auroras and eclipses? They're too pretty to be afraid of them ^^

I got Polyphobia - fear of many things. It's a slippery slope phobia. I don't think I have this one since most people who have it need to be institutionalized for being unable to live on their own or act around other people.

Emetophobia The fear of puke or feeling like you're going to puke.

Seems more of a germaphobe thing.

I HATE BUSES! I have a fear of buses, specifically school buses, which I'm pretty sure there is no word for, but it might be bustrophobia. The thought of sitting in some gigantic yellow iron box with wheels that shakes around SO MUCH that could crash so easily at any given moment, makes me sick. Whenever I looked out the window, sedans are slower. SEDANS! That's not natural, sedans are tiny and this huge twinkie is going faster. I haven't been in a school bus for a long time, and I hope I don't have to in the future.

Cleithrophobia The fear of being locked or trapped in an enclosed space. So it's basically Claustrophobia.
