Since list of different phobias already tackled in some threads ,these are few additional strange phobias which I haven't found there upon checking up.





📌Plutophobia

the Fear of money.Many people probably wish they had more money, but plutophobia is a fear of money or wealth. People with plutophobia may fear becoming wealthy themselves or have a fear of wealthy people. They pressures associated with it or the fear of getting robbed.



📌Optophobia

the fear of opening one’s eyes. This fear can be extremely debilitating, as it is hard for an individual to carry out daily activities without opening their eyes. People with optophobia may prefer to stay indoors or in dimly lit areas. This phobia is usually associated with a generalized anxiety disorder. Like so many other phobias, this fear is usually the result of a traumatic incident.


📌Vestiphobia

a fear of clothing. For many people, this manifests as a fear of a specific garment.


📌Deipnophobia

fear of dining with others. This often manifests as a fear of dinner parties and may stem from a fear of dinner conversations or having to carry out a conversation while eating. It may be related to an underlying social phobia. In many cases, deipnophobia is triggered by traumatic events from an individual’s past, such as being ridiculed as a child for the way they ate or for not following proper etiquette at the dinner table.
The fear of dining with others can also be related to a fear of being criticized for the way a person eats. They may feel awkward eating in front of others and therefore avoid it. They tend to eat alone or prefer to eat in silence if they do eat with others.
