1). Trypophobia - Fear of holes
People who suffer from this phobia have a fear of small holes, and usually associate these with danger. You know, say, a honeycomb, a sponge, etc. The moment a sufferer sees anything with small holes, they could get nausea or full-blown panic attacks!
2). Somniphobia - Fear of falling asleep
Imagine having the fear of falling asleep! While some people just can't do without their regular eight hours a night, sufferers of this phobia may associate going to bed with dying, or losing time while asleep, or may fear lack of control.
3). Nomophobia - Fear of being without mobile phone coverage
Ah! I am sure we all have a little percentage of this hidden somewhere in us. But people with this phobia take it up a notch. They have a fear of losing mobile network, mobile battery, or even losing the sight of their mobile phone!
4). Hylophobia - Fear of trees
Okay, no offence, but some trees actually do look really scary at times. Anyway, people who have this phobia fear trees, wood, and forests. It may be caused by watching all those fairy tales or stories which talk about the evil guys staying in the forests. So go easy with the fables, alright?
5). Turophobia - Fear of cheese
It's rather shocking to know that some people fear cheese. The poor souls have no idea how great it tastes! While some people may fear some particular cheese types, others may fear cheese altogether. SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!
6). Globophobia - Fear of balloons popping
People who have this phobia can fear balloons in general or the sound produced when a balloon is popped. I have no idea how on Earth people with this phobia will ever be able to arrange a birthday party for their kids!
7). Sanguivoriphobia - Fear of vampires
At least people who suffer from this won't have to sit through the torture of the Twilight movie series! Such people have a fear of vampires and blood eaters. In fact, the word literally translates to 'fear of blood eaters'. Of course, people who have this fear take vampires to be real.
8). Anthophobia - Fear of flowers
And I used to think flowers are pretty and a refreshing sight! But for some people with this phobia, flowers are their worst fears come alive! Sufferers of this phobia have a fear of flowers or even of their petals or stems, even though they know that flowers pose no danger to them whatsoever!
9).Pentheraphobia - Fear of mother-in-laws
This is the discovery Indian bahus have been waiting for. The sufferers of this phobia have extreme fear of their mother-in-laws. Better start looking for an orphan partner then!
10). Ablutophobia - Fear of bathing
Okay, now this one is simply disgusting! But then there's not much you can do when you are scared of having a bath, can you? People with this phobia fear bathing and washing in general. And it happens to kids and women more than men. And all this, while I thought men don't have regular baths!
