I’m going to start naming every irrational fear known to man.” Fear of curly object? We will call that curlaphobia. Instead, I like to imagine that somebody, one day, in a difficult and time-consuming study decided, “Hey forget this. I’m sure I could research why they think this is a necessary field but what’s the fun in that. "Oh we are getting down to what causes Bob over there to shudder everytime someone makes jello jiggle.” “We are studying childhood trauma and its effects on the subject's ability to handle social interactions. In another, there is a group giving a name to the condition of me not enjoying runny yolks or being disturbed by the word, moist.ĭo we really need these people or this science? Can’t we just say, “Hey man, I don’t like my eggs all runny”? Is someone getting paid for this? Wouldn’t it better to put that money toward actual serious conditions? How does the office chat at work go? In one building there are scientist and psychologists diagnosing and naming actual serious disorders and mental conditions. But, it does make me wonder who’s job it is to come up with all of these. There doesn’t seem to be any harm in giving names to all these things. I can file under the category of my irrational dislikes. It’s because it’s not a phobia, it just grosses me out. I can’t stand the sight of runny yolks but I don’t cease to function. People that are crippled by their phobias and anxiety issues are different than declaring yourself an Ovaphobe. There is even a name for my aversion to runny eggs. I can’t keep up with all the neurosis, disorders and phobias that are popping up. Does anybody else have toastaphobia? Yes, I just made up a phobia.
