Wanna hear a strange thing about trees ?

I am actually afraid of trees. I know it’s crazy, but I am even the Christmas tree. But I can be around trees I decorate the Christmas tree. But there is a fear there. My sister also experiences this fear.

Fear of trees is called "Dendrophobia".

@swirlie yes, I looked that up years ago there’s a phobia name for basically everything.

Very true! When I was a teenager, my father told me and my two sisters that we had to move out of his house after high school and go to college and live in student housing far, far away because he suffered from 'Uzumakiphobia'.

@swirlie what is that or do you want me to look it up?

@Jonjdw
Uzumakiphobia is the fear of spiral shapes....

@swirlie would that be like a slinky?

No, not quite. It would be for things like spiral-shaped navels my sisters and I each have! I think our dad was tired of seeing his skinny athletic teenaged daughters running around his house wearing cutoff denim shorts and tank tops, so he tried to kick us out by telling us of his phobia!
