Allodoxaphobia, decidiophobia, nomophobia, catoptrophobia, and chorophobia. Want to know about some of the rarest phobias?

The intense worry and avoidance caused by these fears can interrupt day to day living, causing panic when that fear is encountered – that’s when the fear becomes a phobia. In a previous video, we talked about the most common phobias. Many of you requested one about the strange phobias or most rare phobias. We’ve honored your request and made a list. Let us know if you know someone who identifies with any of these. Also, do you enjoy this animation style?
