When a person feels a high level of anxiety at having to use the telephone; a phobic response to making calls possibly due to social awkwardness.
1.
Steve - "The boss told me to call our whole client list, but faced with all those people to phone I started to hyperventilate."
Jess - "Woah dude, you have a case of phonophobia big time."
2. I knew I had to call up my insurance company and complain, but I started dreading the awful hold music and my phonophobia got the better of me.
Phoeniphobia is the fear of flamingos, often triggered by a traumatic experience with flamingos, or just finding them creepy. For me, I have phoeniphobia from watching Cleithrophobia by Shapiro500 .
The phobia of being scared. If you have it, you're literary scared of being scared... It's like, phobiception.
You're scared that you'll be scared, but then you realise you're scared of being scared, so then you're scared and then you're even more scared, because you just realised you're scared of being scared and that makes you even more scared which makes you so scared that you're very very scared which completely scares you and you're so scared of being scared that you can't help being scared, but you're scared that you are scared... That's phobophobia for you :/
