I found this one to be extremely ironic:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.

I don't think i have any phobias. I get a little nervous when public speaking, but not enough to inhibit me doing it, so I don't think its a phobia.

Here's some funny ones though:

Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking.

I'm too lazy to read that list, lol...
Although from what I have read, I don't really have any phobias.. And I can't really think of anything that comes to mind..

I liked the one that was "Fear of Walking".

Me...i have a real ordinary one.

Damn...i'm so ordinary

Acrophobia- Fear of heights

(and i mean....really fear of them)

hmm....Actually i fear only if there isn't a thing to hold onto that is positioned a liitle over my chest.
If a bar like that exists (and it is solid enought) i can stand anywhere and look towards anywhere.
What is that?

My guess is fear of death or pain.

Testophobia- Fear of taking tests

I was completely expecting that to be fear of testes or testicles. I don't know why.

Nucleomituphobia- Fear of nuclear weapons.
Papaphobia- Fear of the Pope.
Hoplophobia- Fear of firearms.
Thanatophobia or Thantophobia- Fear of death or dying. (At least premature death - I'd like to live to be 20 at least, thank you.)

Doxophobia- Fear of receiving praise.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words. (I don't have this one but I've always found it to be very amusing.)

Also, I hate sitting with my back to the door, and I have problems with authority figures.

I have no fear of death; when it comes i will be happy to see what it is.

As for pain...i dunno...pain is nice some times...it's stimulative.

Sounds more to me like a fear of falling... if you have something blocking your chest it's less likely that you'll fall, and therefore you aren't afraid. Just my thoughts.
