    The point of this game is for someone to post the name of a phobia (You can use Google to get the names of phobias if you don't know any off the top of your head), and other posters must try to guess what the phobia is (Without using Google!). When someone is right, they get to post a new phobia, and other posters have to guess until one of them is right, and so on. Got it? Great. I will start with a simple phobia that most people know about, to kick this game off with:

    Arachnophobia

    Fear of numbers actually.

    For the person above: er...fear of London beefeaters? :grin: I've no idea.

    kakorrhaphiaphobia

    ---------- Post added 23rd Jun 2016 at 07:35 PM ----------

    Oooooh! I know that one! It's a fear of dolls. I know because personally I find many dolls to be quite creepy and I got bored one day so I looked it up.

    :icon_sad:

    Not to be confused with "Pedophobia" which is quite different. :grin:

    Nope, but it turns out I spelt it wrong:

    kakorrhaphiophobia is a fear of failure.

    Fear of coffee? (taphe-toffee-coffee- I really have no other guesses)
    Too late. Looked it up; it's fear of being buried alive when falsely pronounced dead.
    Here's one I suffer, and sounds to non-sufferers almost as ridiculous as being scared of coffee:
    anthophobia

    I know that one. It's fear of a bunch of tiny holes together on a surface, like a honeycomb.
    After re-reading the OP I think I screwed up on following the rules. Oh well; I won't do it again.

    It's super gross, and I always avert my eyes. The image is scarring and I just feel like running away from whatever it is. but the irony is... one of the rules is if you guess it right you have to put another one. xD I found this so ironic.. gosh Im lame. Something like homophobia (Super hard ik) Edit: Fear of fathers ex.) papa?

    No I agree! I thought it was silly until I Google imaged it (I know best idea ever) I get why it's a phobia. I think I misread the rules too:eusa_doh:

    And nope but your kind of close...

    Fear of public images, paparazzi? Spiritual leaders (The "Father")? xD all my guesses, lol I tend to reply to posts that have already shifted the topic; ex I feel like I missed something but I'm too lazy to go through it all. Also lol the instant "That moment when you realized.. you **** up."
