Are they really phobias or you just dislike that? Phobia is when you begin to tremble or fell anxiety.

Yeah, it is on the list. It's been mentioned before. Twice.

Convocation was this past Friday. It was fun, and nice to see everybody, but the place was so freaking crowded(my class of ~40 surrounded by about 600 business students, plus the other 200 hospitality students), I very nearly passed out from an anxiety attack. Haven't gotten one of those in a while, but I haven't been in a crowd that big in a while.

Though I don't think it counts as a phobia, as I wasn't really AFRAID of the crowd... Just really really anxious... =\

I'm afraid of arthropods and balloons. I'm told that the latter is globophobia.


Also, I'm fairly sure there's a less retard name for the fear of long words. Whoever came up with hippopoto etc is just a fuckface.

You don't have to be literally scared of the crowd, but something is causing the anxiety, and that's where the fear is. Nearly passing out is definately grounds to call it a phobia.

George Bernard Shaw suffered from coitocophia: fear of sex.

I have insectophobia. Or really, anything that is insect or bug-like. Shudder.
