Panphobia

Panphobia (Also known as omniphobia, pantophobia, and panophobia) is the irrational fear of everything or a persistent vague fear of an ‘unknown evil’. It is *not* a fear/dislike of pansexuals. Using it as so is albiest whether panphobia is registered as a medical term or not.

1:“She has panphobia.”
2:”So she’s afraid of pansexuals?”
1:”No, she feels paranoid all the time.”

phophobia

A fear of phobias. Which, if you think about it, is really quite redundant, ironic, and stupid.

Man: I'm so afraid of becoming claustrophobic AND agoraphobic at the same time!! Actually, just the word "phobia" kinda makes me want to vomit.

Therapist: Well, it sounds like all this fear of phobias has given you one. It's called phophobia. And it makes you look redundant, ironic, and stupid.
