Phobias are a rather unpleasant phenomenon. But not rare. They can change a person beyond recognition, make them love or hate and even bring to suicide. The basic phobias are known to everyone - fear of spiders, darkness, dogs, water and so on. But there are such strange and surprising ones that you did not even know about ...
What comes to mind when mentioning a phobia - horror, fear, fear, panic? All this is absolutely true. You probably heard Einstein's well-known saying: "Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity." I would like to add another - and human fear. There are no limits to people's phobias in this large and motley world. Some of them seem strange and even funny, but in fact it's not funny. After all, phobias practically do not give in to treatment, especially if they developed in early childhood.
Phobia 1. Catophobia - when a person is afraid to sit
Yes, there is. Usually such a phobia occurs at school age. For example, when a child sits on a sharp object or accidentally falls from a chair. Thus, the school prank of someone from classmates can be the cause of the development of phobia someone from peers. People suffering from this phobia can develop varicose veins, so they are always on their feet. These people practically can not find a job. Well, perhaps, if this work is "standing". I wonder how these people go to bed? After all, before they lie down, they still have to sit on the bed?
Phobia 2. Hadonophobia - fear of pleasure
A very depressing phobia, especially unpleasant for adults. It's hard to say exactly how it manifests, but one thing is for sure: when they feel good, they are very bad. The destiny of a person suffering from such a phobia is horror, fear, fear, panic before the opportunity to be happy and content. It is impossible to imagine the depth of suffering of such people.
Phobia 3. Europhobia - fear of female genital organs
This fear, most likely, is rooted in the experiences associated with the birth of a child. The first moments of appearance in this world are so intense that the child unconsciously develops this phobia for the rest of his life. Men and women suffer from this in the same way. They are not able to create a family and lead a normal sex life. In this case, most men start to show homosexual tendencies. With women, everything is much more complicated. They are afraid of themselves, or rather, of their own parts. One thought that they have IT leads them into horror, causes panic. And how can we live with this? Even think terrible.
Phobia 4. Gipopotomomonstrosesskvppedaliophobia - fear of saying long words
Just an irony of fate! It is this phobia that is called the longest word in the entire list of human phobias. In fact, this fear is quite common and brings a lot of suffering to its owners. It's hard to tell where this phobia comes from, but it definitely turns a person's life into a nightmare. Although, to put it in monosyllables, you can also achieve certain successes in life. Probably…
Phobia 5. Metaphobia - fear of alcohol
With such a phobia, the only thought about alcohol is horror, fear and panic. Not to mention to keep the bottle with alcohol in hand or taste its contents. There is nothing to think about! Many people suffering from metaphobia think about alcohol with the following symptoms: nausea, dry mouth, cold and wet hands, weakness in the legs, increased heartbeat. These symptoms are likely similar to those of people who regularly drink alcohol excessively. The border between the obsession with alcohol and its fear is not so obvious. That's why this phobia is so difficult to treat.
Phobia 6. Ozmophobia - fear of smells and flavors
Such usual words "it is insanely tasty" can in reality drive a person crazy with this phobia. Such people are forced to eat fresh food all their lives, to avoid sharply smelling (and generally smelling of anything) objects. Needless to say, this is not very successful. If, of course, do not wear a special mask that detains odors. In general, such people clearly do not envy.
There are many other strange phobias, such as fear of the sky, fear of the Chinese, beards, bald people, love and even their own mother ... Phobias can be almost incurable, but experts still urge not to give up and try to fight this disease.
There are many types of treatment. If you are persistent, you have a real chance to get rid of obsessive fears. For a start, you can try massage, shiatsu for example. The goal is to provide a sense of inner freedom. Through this massage, the circulation of blood, the nervous system stimulates and the distribution of energy and harmony of the soul and body is achieved.
Psychotherapy and meditation can also help. Some experts recommend and hypnosis to establish the source of fear. In the course of treatment, people will be "pushed" face to face with his phobias. It is expected that at some point he will begin to overcome his own fear.
