Would some with a fear or vomiting and a fear of bowel movements by a alimentary schizophrenic?
LOL good questions.
As regards the latter I think Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson would be the best people to diagnose.
Here’s one for you, does an agnostic have to believe that God exists in order to question His existence?
That could go in a conundrum post.
I’m waiting until we get to “a fear of having phobias”. Phobiphobia? Or would that be a fear of one of Mars’ moons? Inquiring minds want to know! 😀
I was tempted to include friendorphobia – military personnel who are afraid of someone shouting Who Goes There – but I resisted the urge 🙂 until now 😦
I thought it was spelled friendophobia, and it’s a fear of being “friended” on Facebook…..
No, that’s the civilian version, I’m surprised at you knowing that 😉
Know about it? I fight it everyday! That, and twitophobia – a fear of Twitter users. 😀
