X is for Xenophobia
(A-Z Challenge -"unthemed" for today)
Xenophobia (adj): an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange.
I have a couple of fears, not of something foreign or strange, but the fears are strange. In fact, they're so strange I cannot share them with others.
Here are some fears people have (if you've been reading Cassie's blog, she's been blogging about fears all month!)
Arachnophobia: Fear of Spiders
Coulrophobia: Fear of Clowns
Oenophobia: Fear of Wines
Ranidaphobia: Fear of Frogs
Fear of Flying
Do you have a fear you'd like to share? Are you Xenophobic?

People are scared of wine!!??!!
Heights, is my big fear - acrophobia. Mostly, it's the fear that I'll jump from a great height whilst being irrationally drawn to look over the edge. Although that might sound weird, it's quite a common feeling for people who are scared of heights.
Hello, Marta! I have a sharkophobia (I don't know the scientific term, haha). Ever since I saw the movie Jaws, the ocean isn't as fun anymore. :( I still go in, but not far out or for very long. And I make sure I'm not the only one in the water so perhaps Jaws won't get me first, LoL! ;)
Have a lovely weekend and happy A to Z!!
A fear of wine? How odd.
I wouldn't call it a phobia, but I really hate to fly.
I don't like spiders. Not sure if it's a fear, but I do jump when I see them.
