Phantakindyniaphobia

/fan-tah-kin-DIH-nee-uh-FOH-bee-uh/
The perception of a virtual threat creating a real fear, there is no nociceptive reaction yet the appearance of danger remains.
“Be careful, I still feel the blade

“How? It’s not even real?”

“I have phantakindyniaphobia, my brain still sees the blade as a threat despite knowing it isn’t real”
“Oh okay, i won’t wave it around you”
