Phobias Face your fears

Hello! My name is Jaydon Dominguez, and I have been researching the brain for a couple of months now. I have been researching something from the darkest part of the limbic system. I have been researching…. Phobias. The thing I found interesting about phobias is how many phobias there and how they can affect you. I hope you enjoy my presentation and learn something new.

What are phobias?

A lot of people think that phobias are just strong fears but NO. They are fears but they are more than just strong fears. They can affect your diet, what you drink, and even your social life! Just think about that. You are so afraid of something that you can’t even make friends.

What phobias are there?

You may have heard of arachnophobia or entomophobia, but have you heard of hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? That’s the fear of long words. Kind of ironic. And zoophobia that’s the fear of animals. There are too many phobias to list. I can try though. Zoophobia, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, arachnophobia, urineophobia, (you get the idea) acrophobia, (fear of heights) xenophobia. (fear of the unknown). .

FUN FACTS!

- There is a fear of cats. (felineophobia/ ailurophobia/ gatophobia) - Any fear of an animal is a branch of zoophobia. - Urineophobia is the fear of urine. In case you didn’t know. - There is a fear of success (Achivemephobia) - Photophobia is the fear of light. Not photos. - I have thalassophobia. ( the fear of oceans and the unknown places and creatures in it. ) and scoleciphobia (fear of worms) - the fear of color is called chromophobia.

Project

I made a game that revolves around the idea of phobias. It’s called… PHOBIA JEOPARDY You pick a card from a category and pick the amount of points you get from that card if you answer correct. First to X points wins. (Amount of points is decided by the players. ) You pick a card from a certain category. (like phobia names or phobia descriptions. ) The card will have a question on it that relates to the category. (for example what is the fear of animals? - zoophobia. You now have X amount of points.
