I saw it once online somewhere and now I can’t remember it. There is an actual term for the fear of offending Muslims. Lest anyone be confused, it is not Islamophobia, the fear of (or discrimination against) Muslims.
Please people, serious answers. This is a term that ends in -phobia.

I’m asking for the name of the phobia, as in ____phobic or something of the like.
I’ve tried google, but I couldn’t find it.

Years ago around the end of January I would develop Chinophobia (fear of snow). Maybe it was because we had 3-5 feet of snow and I was ready for spring. Over the years I have developed “temporary phobias” for a number of good reasons.

A phobia is a handy way to get myself out of unpleasant situations. I developed Dentophobia (fear of the dentist) when my wisdom teeth decided to come in, but it was cured when the pain became so unbearable that I set out for the dentist office for some relief. Phobias also provide good excuses for why I do some of the silly things I seem to do, such as, when computers were first introduced to our school.

When computers were first introduced to our school I developed instant Cyberphobia (fear of computers or working on them). As the years passed I lost this phobia, but I noticed that there are many phobias associated with computers. In other words if you have any of the following phobias I would not be even near a computer.

Neophobia (fear of anything new)–computers change daily, oops, hourly so you need to avoid them.

Monophobia (fear of being alone)–since working on a computer is not group work you should avoid a computer.

Ballistophobia (fear of bullets)–You can get near a computer and even work on one, but avoid that bullet button at all costs.

Tropophobia (fear of making changes)–don’t even be in the vicinity of a computer because this is a continual procedure and if you don’t change your computer system often you quickly revert to the caveman era of computer technology.

Atychiphobia (fear of failure) – better not chance using a computer because the power may fail, the lights may flicker and then your system fails and you have to start all over. Besides that, one misplaced finger can make you wonder, “What happened now?”

Ankylophobia (fear of joint immobility) try sitting at a computer all day and then get up, it’s close to impossible at my age so avoid the computer.

Kaniophobia (fear of anything new or novel) with a computer it’s always changing and you may not be warned about those changes, so don’t chance it.

Allodoxaphobia (fear of opinions)–you can get on the computer, but avoid chat rooms and articles, like this, at all costs.

Castisophobia (fear of sitting)–self explanatory, just avoid the computer. Tachophobia (fear of speed)–avoid computers only if they have high speed internet and it was built last year, other wise, it is okay.

Polyphobia (fear of many things)–Everything connected to the computer is numbered in the many things category. Many functions, many buttons, many sights and especially many wires. Technophobia (fear of technology) That’s what computers are all about, technology, so avoid.

May you find your life free of any phobias and typing peacefully on your computer. Have a good life.

Are you a person who has problems dealing with phobia? If your answer is like, “Come on, she is the one who always have the problems. I have absolutely no issues about commitment.”

Are you sure? Think again. The reason why people are usually so afraid of commitment is because that they are unable to lead their regular lifestyles! Are you prohibiting her from living her regular lifestyle? Sometimes, it is good to review your wooing techniques. Are you too aggressive? Are you too self-centered? Or are you simply too possessive?

Don’t assume quickly that these qualities can be derived after the woman has dived into the relationship. Most of the time, women decipher your characteristics before they decide they want to enter the relationship.

“Hey, but some women complain that their boyfriends are possessive after they enter the relationship!”

I agree absolutely. But, there is something that you have forgotten. Usually, guys act like gentlemen before they enter a relationship as well! Basically, it is quite hard to be comfortable with someone you fancy.

So, don’t lie to yourself. Don’t act who you are not. If you don’t have deep feelings, it is wise for you to consider moving on in your life. Otherwise, when she maintains status quo after a few months of courtship, it is time to change your dating habits and traits.

No one said that a major change in your habits is going to be easy. Therefore, you should always start with taking tiny steps to fulfill your goal of finding a cute girl. There are really no shortcuts. Just take things as they go along and don’t force your own ideals on others.

Sasha asked:


Hey I was just wondering if there is a name for a phobia of getting bad grades. Thanks .

People have different reasons for their fear of cats. However, most of them can point to an experience in their past that made them afraid of the animals. While it is always prudent to treat animals with respect, it is not normal to panic at the sight of an ordinary cat or kitten. Pets are meant to bring love and happiness to people. Breeders do not breed animals to create anxiety. Yet, people with a phobia of cats are incredibly anxious when they see a feline. People with this phobia should know that it is easy to overcome their anxiety in just a few hours with the help of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy.

A Fear of Cats Can Negatively Impact a Person’s Life

It might seem like this type of phobia is easy to live with if you do not own a cat. However, people who suffer from this phobia might be afraid to visit homes that have a pet cat or might avoid taking their children outside in case they run into a feral cat. People with a severe form this phobia may even be afraid of seeing a cat on TV.

Don’t Pass the Phobia to Your Children

Children are remarkably perceptive about their parents’ fears. Many parents are, therefore, concerned about passing their concern about pets to their children. They do not want their children to learn to fear felines like they do. They want them to play outside, visit friends and watch TV without fearing a panic attack.

Break the Cycle of Panic

The best way to break the cycle of panic is to end your own phobia. This will require you to recondition your mind. When you see a cat you will no longer fear an attack but will instead see the animal as a gentle creature that means you no harm.

Help is Available

NLP and hypnotherapy have both proven to be effective. Direct NLP and hypnotherapy reconditioning techniques have cured many people with a phobia of felines from their debilitating panic.

How NLP and Hypnotherapy Can Help

Direct NLP and hypnotherapy reconditioning techniques do not take into account why a person is afraid of cats. A person might not remember what started their fear. They might not remember a time when a cat jumped on them suddenly or when a cat scratched them when they were small children.

Yet, they are aware of how their phobia limits their everyday activity. NLP and hypnotherapy will recondition their thoughts. After treatment, they will not panic when they see a cat but will instead see a cat or kitten for what it is, namely a beloved pet or innocent animal that will not hurt someone without provocation.

NLP and hypnotherapy can often help someone fully recover from this phobia in one session. Rarely, a second session might be required. Therefore, in as little as one hour, a person can be rid of his or her fear of cats that so profoundly impacts his or her life.
