It is the fear of old people or the fear of becoming old. Most teenagers are gerontophobic and don't now that they are. They refer to it as a logical thing and call people who are not gerontophobic are insensible and are stupid. They say losing their beauty is bad and say that wanting to get wrinkles is a terrible thing.
It is the fear of chickens. Alektrophobic may also tend to be afraid of eggs fowls and and probably roosters. I'm Alektrophobic and i just learned to stay away from chickens despite me once living on a farm. I had to go give them their food and all I'd do is cover my whole body so they can't peck my feet and you don't have to be ashamed of being Alektrophobic. I'm not ashamed of it and in posting this on the internet shows I'm not embarrassed.http://weirdphobia.com/images/Alektorophobia.jpgy

ACROPHOBIA
It is the fear of heights. It is a common phobia like many other phobias, it is one of the most common phobias in adults. Acrophobic people will usually have panic attacks at tall heights. There are people who are confident although are acrophobic and at high buildings are said to have a head for heights.
Achluophobia is the fear of the dark. People aren't afraid of the dark but imagine dangers that could possibly be in the dark. Parents took advantage of that and made the boggy man. It is more common in children and most of them overcome it after the age of nine while others overcome it when very old. You don't need to be ashamed of it but it is a very rare thing in adults ,even famous people are achluophobic e.g Thomas Edison. He was achluophobic and by not wanting to overcome it he overcame it and not only that, he made the first light bulb. So out of a fear came something that changed mankind.
"Phobia"comes from the Greek wordPhóbowhich means fear or morbid fear. There are many types of phobia's that I will talk about like xenophobia,arachnophobia,homophobia and many more.All these are fear of things or a thing
