Traumatic

I have a handful of phobias, below is the list.

Agoraphobic : Is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to his or her home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."

Scoliodentosaurophobia : Fear of lizards.

Aphenphosmphobia : Fear of being touched.

Atelophobia : Fear of imperfection.

Mysophobia : Fear of dirt and germs.

And the list goes on.

The purpose of this post today, is that I have come across one of the listed phobias above (see italic), which wasn't very much an excitement for me. In fact, it almost gave me a heart attack.

I was roaming around the house one day, with no particular aim of direction. When suddenly, a lizard from above the ceiling fell flat on the floor in front of me with a loud 'splat'. And so I did the only sensible thing to do.




Alright, I wasn't that pathetic, but it was nonetheless close to what you've just seen. Scary shitty lizard!
