Vacuum cleaners scare the crap out of me! I have to hold my breath before I turn one on. And my brother turned one on and came at me with it and I screamed... It's hilarious but I can't help it. If this is a real phobia could someone tell me the name of it? Hahahaha, thanks. =]
Flo-Beephobia you should take psyhcology there is a fear ar phobia for basically everything. it usually happens because something may have triggered it when you were younger .
Believe it or not, yes thats a real phobia Its called zuigerphobia
Phonophobia (ligyrophobia) is a fear of loud noises might also be -- Flo-Beephobia
Of course. maybe you developed that fear when you were young. Fear is developed out of associations. For example in your case, the vacuum cleaner at first was just a neutral stimulus to you but maybe there was a aversive stimulus that you have associated with the vacuum cleaner. After several subsequent pairing of the Vacuum cleaner and that aversive stimulus, your fear of the aversive stimulus has been passed on to the cleaner. now even without the presence of the aversive stimulus, because of conditioning, you developed that fear.
