The phobia of getting a phobia & others

Suffering from a phobia in many cases is latent and unique. Due to various complexes, physiological anomalies, and past accidents, people develop various kinds of phobia. The hackneyed ones include fear from water, height, darkness and spiders. But what about the less common known fears? This is General Eerie with message 102 for his fellow earthians.

The Wikipedia defines phobia as a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. Certain aspects of neurology deals with the development of phobias in brain. Sometimes, the fear is ridiculous and very sardonic. 
LISTEN HERE: Believe it or not, fear of fear itself is a phobia and is called PHOBOPHOBIA.
Phobophobia is defined as an abnormal fear of phobias or of developing one. The risk of acquiring phobophobia is greater to people already suffering from a certain phobia. If you went through intense phobic reactions towards the object of an established fear, you may eventually dread confronting and experiencing the same morbid response again, thus leading to phobophobia. Other bizarre phobias:
