Monk Fear list
Apparently a lot of fears have a few different names to them. Here is a few of mine. I couldn't find the fear of being burned. And I wonder if they have a name for a fear of saying people's names to people. It's not really a fear per say but I find I don't really say people's names to them unless I have to.

Ophthalmophobia: Fear of being stared at.
Scopophobia or Scoptophobia: Fear of being seen or stared at.

(Don't really feel comfortable when people stare at me for any real length of time)

Glossophobia: Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak.
Laliophobia or Lalophobia: Fear of speaking.

(I can force myself to do it but I really hate it. And I try to avoid it as much as possible)

Anthropophobia: Fear of people or society.
Social Phobia: Fear of being evaluated negatively in social situations.
Sociophobia: Fear of society or people in general.

(I think it's just that people are the hardest to predict)

Anuptaphobia: Fear of staying single.
Gamophobia: Fear of marriage.
Philophobia: Fear of falling in love or being in love.

(Sorry, just a really weird person. Still haven't figured this out about myself yet.)

Entomophobia: Fear of insects.
Insectophobia: Fear of insects.

(It's not all insects it's more of them crawling on me and not knowing it. And sometimes the fear of bugs that fly at me.)

Aphenphosmphobia: Fear of being touched. (Haphephobia)
Chiraptophobia: Fear of being touched.
Haphephobia or Haptephobia: Fear of being touched.

(Actually it's the fear of unknown touching or hugs)

Decidophobia: Fear of making decisions.

(I really have a tough time making decisions)

Dishabiliophobia: Fear of undressing in front of someone.

(Really wish I felt comfortable with it)
