Please do not be upset with me when you read this. I am not in anyway making fun of the phobias that people have. As a matter of fact I have several of these fears myself. But thought I would take a different approach to them. So please read on but keep in mind that this is more to be funny then to attack any one or their fears.

At first when I looked this up to start writing about it I had thought that I would discuss the problems of fears. But since looking at “ALL” of the different fears that there are in the world I decided to take a different view point on them.

I am listing just a few of the fears that I have found listed on the internet and decided to attach them to people. Not that they have these fears, but perhaps they should.

From the Wikipedia encyclopedia fear is described as: Fear is an emotional response to threats and danger. Fear should be distinguished from anxiety, which typically occurs without any external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result of threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.

OK, that is all of the fears that I wanted to really poke a little fun at. Hope you enjoyed them.
