Phobias

Weird phobias.

Everyone, at some point in life have experienced some phobias, but there are a few very strange phobias, that you would think they are a joke.

But let's talk first about what is a phobia:

It is an irrational fear, a type of anxiety disorder in which the person has a relentless fear of a situation, a creature, place or thing. It is an intense fear of something that is actually minimal or no threat, which can reach panic and extreme suffering. Is usually uncontrollable, notably it affects the quality of life and the person who has it avoids the phobic object or situation.  

Now I will show you some of the most rare phobias that exist: 

• Hexakosioihexekontahexafobia: fear of the number 666. People with hexakosioihexekontahexafobia feel an irrational fear of the number 666 and avoid things related to this issue. The origin of this phobia is linked to Satan or the Antichrist.
• Xantofobia: fear of the color yellow.  Xenophobia is the irrational fear of the color yellow. People suffering this type of phobia generate great anxiety with anything that contains yellow. The sun, the yellow paint yellow word or generate symptoms in xantofóbico. 
• Trypophobia: fear of the cheese.  Those who suffer trypophobia can't see or smell a simple piece of cheese because it gives them a feeling of intense discomfort, this is due to a traumatic experience suffered previously. Totally it is one of the rarest phobias known. WOW and I love to eat cheese.
  
• Hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia: fear of long words.  It is that fear, irrational to the pronunciation of long and complicated words, the person suffering this phobia avoids mentioning such words. Many times, this phobia is accompanied by social shyness and fear of being ridiculed. Due to the complexity of the word used to describe this phobia, the words used today are: sesquipedaliofobia or largsofobia.
• Coulrophobia: fear of clowns. The image of a clown produces panic, fear and distress to the person suffering coulrophobia. Although it is common this phobia is perceived as funny by people who don't have this fear, the subject experiencing the phobia of clowns can trigger major anxiety attacks. I don't think this is one of the most rare or strange phobias that exist in the world but it might for some people if it is, but let's face it there are a few clowns that don't look very friendly.
• Cronofobia: fear, to the passage of time. It is difficult to understand and is exacerbated by the fact that people who are too afraid to the passing of the years can not prevent that from happening. So far no one has the recipe for eternal youth, so only you have to accept yourself, loving you and taking care through the years, and well, there are surgeries but don't become addicted to them.
• Hypnophobia: afraid to sleep.  It is an irrational and excessive fear, to the act of sleeping. People with this phobia feel panic by thinking that while you are sleeping something terrible might happen, for example, they stop breathing and die. The cause can also be the fear of having nightmares because if any suffered repeatedly before.

These are just some of the rare phobias that exist but there are many more, best of all, it can be treated to overcome.
