Get the Sedagorous mug.However, to some people, silence can be downright scary. ... There is term for this phobia: Sedatephobia. The word originates from Greek 'Sedate' meaning 'silent or sleeping or dead' and Phobos meaning the Greek God of fear, or dread or aversion.
Like all other specific phobias, the fear of silence is usually caused by a traumatic or negative episode in the phobic’s life. Some phobics, for example might have been locked up or abused by an adult,(some having been kept in basements or closets for punishment where no outside sound reaches them). The feelings the child has experienced then can get permanently etched on his/her mind. News of a loved one’s death or other traumatic/negative episode associated with silence can also bring on this phobia.
Excessive noise can be debilitating and can bring on headaches. However, it is silence that can cause various symptoms in a Sedatephobe. Power cuts can be especially trying to such people, since they are left without technology, noise, music or movies around to comfort them. When left in silence, the phobic might have a full blown panic attack which may be characterized by following symptoms:
- Shivering, shaking, trembling
- Having dry mouth and sweaty palms
- Inability to speak or express themselves: feeling detached from reality and having thoughts of death or dying
- Feeling numb, feeling like crying or fleeing
- Experiencing rapid heartbeat, nausea, gastrointestinal distress etc

Get the Sedatephobia mug.Seddie is a name combined from two other names called Sam and Freddie, who are on the show iCarly. They bicker constantly, but they might have a love/hate relationship in the future iCarly episodes.
Freddie says, "You know, if a girl rips on a guy, it usually means she has a crush on him." Sam says, "Yeah, but i wasen't ripping on a guy, i was ripping on you. Such a seddie moment.
