Philophobia

Philophobia- Fear of falling in love or being in love.


My friend told me about her problems today. One of them consisted of her missing two of her ex-boyfriends. She told me that she wasn't sure which one she missed, and that it hurt that she didn't know which one she missed. It hurt her more that she had messed up the relationship with both of her old lovers and that they now had a great dislike for her. Of course it hurt her plainly that she missed them at all. I would have to say that this would be the worst part of falling in love, yes? Love is great when everything is calm and normal. Although, once everything starts going haywire, love doesn't seem all that great anymore. If we know things like this are going to happen, then why fall in love at all? Why do we still glance at love to be the most wonderful thing in the world? Perhaps it's because of how it makes us feel when we're in love, or being loved. Either way, it seems pretty scary to me. But hey, why should I complain? I happen to be one of those believers.

Athazagoraphobia

Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting.


I realized that all of us forget things. Maybe not just simple things, like what to buy when you go to the store, but actual people and things we would like to remember. I would never want to be forgotton, yet I feel this way a lot of the time. I feel as though people forget my existence, or don't even realize that I'm right in front of their face. It doesn't feel very good at all to be invisible. It's no wonder that the shy and quiet people we hardly ever notice end up having some sort of tragic event in their lives. It doesn't feel good to be forgotton! I plead to you, notice the people around you! They are but mere souls that want your attention! But I digress... we're all just going to be forgotton about soon. That sure is depressing to think about, huh?

Agateophobia

Agateophobia - Fear of insanity


Today a friend of mine told me a story about his summer with drugs. This story contained so much fear in it, and from the way he told it, I felt as though I could feel everything. All the fear & all the pain that he had felt on those days--I could feel it. He said that he had lost all control over his brain, and.. I, for one, would not be able to take that. I have a strong fear or " phobia " for losing control over something that I should be able to have control over. Does that make sense? Well, some things in this world just don't make sense..
