Porphyrophobia - fear of the color purple (not Oprah and the movie...the actual color)

Can you imagine living in a world where you felt uneasy looking at this?

We also know that porphyrophobia often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates.








Don't want the porphyrophobic in-laws over for Christmas? Decorate with these....problem solved.



Can you imagine telling your college professor that you can't do that research paper because you have a fear of the color purple?

As always, have a wonderful weekend in the Lord Jesus, and remember if you are porphyrophobic, stay away from the tulip gardens.

Arachibutyrophobia - phear of peanut butter sticking to the rooph of the mouth

This website thankphully informs us that, iph you are victim of this phobia, then you will dephinitely try to shun situations where you will be compelled to eat peanut butter.

Was it phorced on him? What kind of menace would compel someone with such a disorder to eat something so terriphying yet so tasty.

Our son, Justice dephinitely doesn't have arachibutyrophobia as he eats a good old PB&J sandwich most days for lunch, and it doesn't really matter to him iph he has anything to drink or not. More ophten than not he wanders through the remainder of the day with the evidence on either side of his mouth. When do they learn not to bite the sandwich directly in the center? Does that arrive about the same time as reflexes?

As always, have a wonderful weekend in the Lord Jesus, and remember iph you are arachibutyrophobic, stay away from any and all Reese's products.

Asymmetriphobia - a phear of asymmetrical things
It may also be called -

• The phear of mismatched things
• The phear of one-sided things
• The phear of things that aren't symmetrical
• The phear of things that have a lack of symmetry

Maybe that's the way asymmetriphobia began...aphter looking through old baby photos you realize that there was something crazy about that sweater that Granny knitted you as a baby. Out of phear of offending her mother-in-law, she made you wear that out of kilter thing all the time. Now, 30 years later you have problems looking at this:

"Get me outta here! Straight lines! Must....have....straight lines! Neeeeedddd equality and balance!"

As always, have a wonderful weekend in the Lord Jesus, and remember iph you are asymmetriphobic, stay away phrom the abstract collection in your local art museum.

Peladophobia - fear of bald people
Common symptoms of peladophobia include but are not limited to: breathlessness, excessive sweating, and inability to speak or think clearly.

Admittedly, the dude with goggles is pretty scary. If I stared at that long enough, I may develop a hint of peladophobia; however, how far does this phobia go? Does it also apply to mannequins?

What about women?

Dogs?

Inquiring minds want to know.

As always, have a wonderful weekend in the Lord Jesus, and remember if you are peladophobic, stay away from those wig shops.
