Fear is a protective function of the body, which points to a potential danger. And if it were, humanity would probably die. But someone has such a high level of anxiety that it prevents life from enjoying life. Often, phobia occurs as a result of a traumatic event.

We are accustomed to the fact that some people may have claustrophobia or sociophobia, but in some cases a panic state achieves completely non -standard forms.

We’re talking about the most unusual phobias.

Eisoptrophobi

Generally, fear is apparently caused by discontent, but it is also caused by cultural ideas. For example, the belief that the mirror is a portal in the world of souls and reflection is a ghost, a demon or other world.

Tripophobia

Tripophobes are panicked by the cluster holes. This can be explained evolutionically: if a person has a deep ulcer traces on the skin, it is probably contradictory. Tripofobs is also afraid that a dangerous person lives in the holes. However, such sets of holes are found everywhere in nature and most of them are harmless like honeycombs, wild lotus seeds or corals. Tripophobia usually manifests itself with itching and nausea. Scientists Arnold Wilkins and Jeff Cole concluded that the phobia was caused by disgust.

For example, Panfobia took place by Sheldon Cooper from the “Big Bang Theory” sitcom. In one of the episodes, the hero even thought of moving to another city after “colliding with Pasadena’s criminal side”. In fact, his apartment was simply robbed, he bought a few comic books.

Hexacosiexecontagexaphobia

The fear of this number of number is found everywhere: the directors and writers working in the genre of horror and only by jokes. For example, Cryptipasta about the 666 computer virus killed people, was popular at zero. Meanwhile, we have previously written where numerophobia came from or the fear of certain numbers.

In other words, mountaineering is contraindicated to them. The bridge also symbolizes the passage: If you pass through the portal, the world will never be the same again.
