Ephebiphobia

Some people talk about us dredful teens and how were so pighead and how we're always back talking. But for some people there scared of teens. It first start out as "fear of loathing teens" but today its used as inaccrute exaggerated characterization of young people. Today it means "the fear of youth." Some other terms that are closely related are Pediaphobia which means the fear of young children and infants and Gerontophobia which means the fear of elders and or seniors. Tjis fear usually causes discrimination which is called Adultism.

Gynophobia

Let me first start out by saying what Gynophobia is. Its a fear of being in your "birthday suit". Now for all you slow people out there, it means being nude. This phobia is caused from people who get worried with seeing other people naked or themselves. People can have this fear if their unhappy with their physical look or anxiety about sexuality. This can cause the person to feel exposed and or being unpertected. First it can start out as an irrational fear but those that suffer say it rises from feeling unable to preform. It also can spark from the feeling of akwardness in the mind.

Cibophobia

If you have Cibophobia you are scared of food. Some people can be mistaken for anorexia-people who are afraid of the consequences of food to their body. The main difference is people with Cibophobia aren't afraid of the negitive impact that food can have but jsut the food itself. Sometimes, some people can have both which can be very dangerous. One of the signs are people who avoid certain foods all together. Some of the most foods that people fear is milk or mayonnaise(food that is perishable.) If you have Cibophobia you're probably most concerned with expreation dates. If you are, you can be found smelling foods very carfully if its close to their dates.

Arachnaphobia

If you’re like me, then you’re terrified of spiders. The thought of them crawling around is chilling deep in your bones. But I’m not the only one. Arachnophobia is one of the most common phobias. Some of the symptoms are feeling uneasy where a person thinks a spider could be lurking, screaming, crying and sometimes standing on a chair. A person can have a panic attack if its server. Even a realistic drawing can cause a person to get scared. You can’t treat this phobia with any medicine. Although many spiders are harmless and small, some are deadly.
