PHOBIAS (2)

-
     I am back to enlighten you with some more phobias and their names.

Ø Aichmophobia: This is the fear of sharp and/or sharp objects.
Ø Neophobia: This is the fear of new things or newness.
Ø Gamophobia: Fear of commitments, marriages.
Ø Omphalophobia: This refers to the fear of navels. Hmmmmm quite weird.

Ø Phobophobia: This may sound funny but it is the fear of fear or having phobias.

Ø Sesquipedalophobia: If you find it difficult pronouncing this then you definitely have a phobia for long words which is actually the meaning of this word.
Ø Coulrophobia: This is the fear of clowns. This is not just for evil clown alone.
Ø Atychiphobia: This is the fear of failure. I’d like to believe most people have this fear.
Ø Hylophobia: This is the fear of forests, trees or wood.
Ø Mysophobia: This is the fear of germs, contamination or dirt. Quite unheard of to me.

AND THE LOCKDOWN CONTINUES

  It's no news that the lockdown has been extended and even if the lockdown isn't charting it's full course in certain cities and places, movement and activities that we've grown used to are restricted. While the isolation may not be much of a big deal for some, I'm sure it has some bored to the wits and maybe at the brink of insanity (who knows?)

(Remember the last one? ) Limit the amount of news you take in: social media sure has its ways of bringing enlightenment and I'm certain you have been at the receiving end of a plethora of BCs here and there. Whilst some of these might be valid, there is always room for false news. Staying in the loop with what is going on shouldn't mean wolfing down every little bit of news that swings your way (especially without making your own findings).
