Phobias

Are you excited about your trip next month?

Yes and no. I can’t wait to go to Europe, but at the same time I am terrified.

Why?

Well, I have aerophobia. I have a chronic fear of flying.

Oh really? I have an uncle who is also terrified of flying. It’s not that bad though, I mean, it is pretty scary to be in this big machine flying through the air at seven hundred miles per hour. I actually have arachnophobia.

You’re scared of spiders? I actually have two more phobias. Acrophobia and glossophobia.

I guess that explains why you are afraid of flying, but public speaking is not that bad.

Are you kidding? When I get on stage, my palms start to sweat, I get really nervous and I can hardly speak.

Well, I must confess I am a bit claustrophobic. I hate being in an elevator for more than 5 seconds.

We are such weirdos right?
