If you suffer from Hippopotomonstrosesqippedaliophobia, you can at least be glad you don't suffer from Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

And, if both of those bother you, perhaps you can celebrate not worrying about Iatrophobia. Of the three, I suffer from the last. But, I'm a woman of few phobias, so one out of three "ain't" bad. I'm an optimist.

The first phobia, let's call it "hippo" for short, is the fear of long words, and if you're a frequent reader, you know I seldom use words with more than 3 syllables. I could, mind you. I'm just a lazy writer. If I have to look them up to spell them, I figure you might have to look them up to read them. That's too much trouble for both of us.
Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

I AM, Said I

The second one, let's nickname it "Hexakosio" in keeping with the lazy theme, is the fear of the number 666. If the world situation gets any worse, I'm thinking that's the next phobia for me.
The third, we'll call "latro" for the same reasons already stated, is the fear of doctors and I'm full blown infected with that one.

At least I know I'm not alone in phobias if the nightly news is any indication of measurement. I think it's safe to say that our President suffers from Ideophobia- Fear of ideas, or at least good ones; and but there's good news on the horizon with this next phobia: I don't think Congress seems to have anything remotely close to Rupophobia- Fear of dirt.

Now, don't think bad of me, because I know she couldn't help it, but I saw a lady in the grocery store the other day, and I don't mean to be unkind, but afterwards I developed Genuphobia- the Fear of knees; I'm sure she couldn't help it, but then, neither could I.

My grandmother had Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th. but it didn't bother me until the movie came out. You've got to fear the person who thinks like that.

My husband suffers from Galeophobia - Fear of cats, or it could just be hatred of cats; our dog refuses to pee in the dark, so he must suffer from Scotophobia- Fear of darkness, but maybe that's self-preservation.

Many of us probably should have had this in our youth, Sexophobia- Fear of the opposite sex; we might have been better off. I had many kids in my home who suffered from Stasibasiphobia or Stasiphobia- Fear of standing or walking, or maybe they were just downright lazy.

And, do the holidays give you Syngenesophobia- Fear of relatives? If not, you should come to my house, I'll share the joy.

Here's one for the books, and as close to fear of success as I could get, doxophobia, the fear of praise. No chance of me coming down with that one. I'm pretty comfortable with praise, bring it on! I'll risk it.

I never thought I'd come down with this one, Pedophobia- Fear of children, but after 250 foster kids, I think I'm entitled.

I don't know about you, but if my life is any example, I think without even knowing it I've had, for a number of years: Plutophobia- Fear of wealth. I didn't know it was a disease. I thought it was high prices and taxes or something.

Now, we could just end it all by realizing that we all have Polyphobia- Fear of many things, but, wait, there's more.
I plan on keeping this one in my pocket at all times: Pocrescophobia- Fear of gaining weight.

After November, we'll all come down with Politicophobia- Fear or abnormal dislike of politicians, if we haven't already. I'm working on it.

I thought this was particularly curious, but if they're coming toward you with anything weird in their hand, I could develop this one real quick: Proctophobia- Fear of rectums; it's right up there (or down, depending on your view) with Iatrophobia. Don't touch me, doc.

Most of us wouldn't have any danger of coming down with Pteronophobia - Fear of being tickled by feathers; unless you're the chicken who's about to lose theirs.

I don't know why, but last week I suffered from Graphophobia- Fear of writing, and this hub is the result of that, so now we all suffer from my graphophobia, may THAT never happen again.

My all time favorite, which we will all come down with after reading this hub, is Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.

Gee, I was feeling fine until I wrote all this; I think I'm coming down with something, could you please pass the valium?

What is blend? It is a mixture, becoming one. In real life, how are we going to apply this "Theory of Blend"? It is just like you have good EQ. You know how to mix around with any people. It can be very simple. Like in the office, if you are able to blend well with all your colleagues, everyone will find you easy to get along with. Even your boss might impresses your work and promotes you. But not everyone knows how to apply this "Theory of Blend".

Anywhere and everywhere, we tend to meet new people and even old friends. Most of the time, we are always blending within the group. I am not the type of knowing how to blend. Or rather I say I force myself to blend. In an office, school, or even friends, it is just like a community. There are a a lot of different characters of people. None are the same. Knowing this "Theory of Blend", it is able to bring more friends to you, more opportunities to you.

The mistake I had made, I forced myself to blend. When I didn't know how to stay together with a tiger, I changed myself to be one. In the end, what happened? I ended up, getting scratches and wounds all over. It was painful. Even I can change to be one, but I will never be one. Why? Cause I am just not a tiger. I thought that if I can be like a tiger, maybe things will be better. The fact is, it is not! I can lie to everyone but myself. Deep inside my heart, I know I am never one of them.

I am too used to asking questions like: How people looked at me? How I can blend in well together with everyone? When everyone is the same, why can't I? The answer is I am too concern the way people look at me. If this theory doesn't apply to me, I should be myself. There is a Chinese saying "What overcome changes is don't change." When you don't change, people will understand and accept who you are and what you are.

Mistakes make people grown up. Maybe this theory can be useful to some people. Just like coffee, if you add milk and sugar, it will changes its colour. It blends. And milk, sugar and coffee live happily ever after. What if hydrogen and oxygen can't mixed together to be water, just stay as it is. There are always ways that every single elements on earth have their own style of living besides this "Theory of Blend"
