This must be a partial list, because a lot more phobias come to mind–claustrophobia and arachnophobia being the ones that concern me most. As a writer I can add the fear of rejections, although I think publishers these days are trying to be more politically correct–my manuscripts are now referred to as ‘declined’ rather than ‘rejected’. There’s also the fear of getting bad reviews, although I should be immune to those by now. And as my kids are getting older and settling into a life of their own, there’s the fear of the distances created between us by their new-found independence.
There must be a lot of unnamed phobias out there. Can you think of more and what would you call them?
