Glossophobic hermit, that's me

One of my favorite website is The Phobia List at http://www.phobialist.com

I haven't counted how many phobias they list, but I found a few that can nicely describe me.

here goes:

Phalacrophobia- Fear of becoming bald (isn't everyone?)
Anablephobia- Fear of looking up
Anuptaphobia- Fear of staying single
Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting
Catagelophobia- Fear of being ridiculed
Cleithrophobia or Cleisiophobia- Fear of being locked in an enclosed place
Dentophobia- Fear of dentists
Dinophobia- Fear of dizziness or whirlpools
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words
Katagelophobia- Fear of ridicule
Dextrophobia- Fear of objects at the right side of the body (because i'm partially deaf on my right ear
Macrophobia- Fear of long waits.
Medomalacuphobia- Fear of losing an erection (again, isn't everyone?)
Obesophobia- Fear of gaining weight
Ophidiophobia- Fear of snakes
Politicophobia- Fear or abnormal dislike of politicians.
Scopophobia or Scoptophobia- Fear of being seen or stared at.
Soteriophobia - Fear of dependence on others
Zelophobia- Fear of jealousy

Hmm, it's a miracle that I function at all.
