Phobia is an extreme or
irrational fear of or aversion something. Phobia categorized in different of
categories such as specific/simple phobia, social phobias and so on. Moreover, we
will list out some of phobias, example of phobias, the phobias that we have and
how do we overcome.
Ataxophobia
defined as the fear of disorder, chaos or untidiness (Max, 2014). People who
engage with this phobia will never ever satisfy with cleaning executed by
others and they will generally redo everything.
For instance, the former famous
soccer player, David Beckham also suffered from Ataxophobia.
Acrophobia
is one type of phobia in the world. It comes from a Greek word ‘acron’ which
means heights (Heathtopia, 2016). Acrophobia refers to the fear of heights or
unable to stay in the high position. People may fear to go to high floor in the
building, travel on an escalator or lift and ride roller coaster. For example,
Tobey Maguire is one of the celebrities who suffer from acrophobia. He is the
main character of Spiderman (Face Your Fear Limited, 2013).
Trypophobia
can be known as repetitive pattern phobia. This phobia was coined in 2005 but
not officially recognised by some psychologists. Nevertheless, have many of
people claim to be fearful of the objects with small holes, for example
beehives, ant holes and lotus seed heads. An Individual who was Trypophobia
will suffer an emotional reaction. When they see the closely packed holes
objects they will reflect anxiety, bodily symptoms that are skin-related such
as itchiness and goose-bumps. They will also have physiological changes, for
example nausea, or trouble catching breath.
Besides that,
Scoleciphobia is known as fearful of worms. Scoleciphobia usually associated
with the fear of unhygienic conditions. Most of the Scoleciphobia people
believe that the presence of worms means poor hygiene or diseases.
Last
but not least, I am Shue Fang and I suffered Herpetophobia which are fear of
reptiles especially lizard, when I saw I will scream and jump away. I will try
not to go near them and let them crawl on my body. I’m Yong Yong and I
ascertained that I extremely fear about the feeling of changes in my life which
has been recognized as Metathesiophobia.
I’ve been trying my best to cope with it by understanding that there
does nothing in this world will remain the same or perfectly from its origin
until the end. My name is Chua Yi Theng. I fear of ghosts and it’s known as
Phasmophobia. I will try to avoid watch horror movie on everywhere. I am ying
shin, I found that my phobia is Autophobia which is cannot being alone and I
try to become more independent. My name is Loh Yi Ling. My phobia is
Nyctophobia, fear of darkness. This phobia is irrationally fearful of the dark
because after closed the light and the room will turned dark, then the brain
perceives frightful images of what will happen. I will try to overcome with a
little brave and do not imaged things.
