Strangest Phobias You Can Have

Post Reply New Topic

To some extent I think I have IRS-phobia.

Sometimes I want to try earning money on the side, but I don't know if there is some tax law I don't know about that I need to comply with. It tends to nudge me in the direction of only wanting to work a W-2 job or maybe for a contracter. Basically, I want to work in a situation where someone else gives me that the Tax forms which I can then hand to someone else to prepare.

Any questions... and I'll point the finger at the boss or accountant saying it must be their fault.

Nomophobia (fear of not having a phone on them)
Haha, my NT cousin has that! If she hasn't got access to her mobile phone, she'll literally go mad!

Philophobia (fear of falling in love/committing oneself to a partner)
I thought I had this and began to worry, because I kept turning guys down who asked me out. But now I have met someone who I am not afraid to tell him how I feel about him, and I don't feel trapped or smothered at all when he rings/texts me. Maybe I have to really, really fancy someone to be able to even think about a commitment.

Coulrophobia (fear of clowns)
I used to hate clowns when I was small, and they are not my favourite things now. I don't think it's fear though. It's just something I have never been a great fan of.

So no, I don't have any of those phobias on that list.
