Somniphobia

Spotiphobia

Spotiphobia (n): Extreme or irrational fear of one's embarrassing song/album selection being broadcast to one's entire network of friends caused by the ridiculous Sharing auto-settings in Spotify, even if said song/album is not being played in Spotify.

I was listening to Nickleback on repeat in iTunes and had to pause mid-song to check and make sure this info wasn't being broadcast on Facebook because I suffer from Spotiphobia.

Somniphobia

Somniphobia is defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of sleep", and this condition causes thousands of people major distress every year. There are many reasons why people may suffer from somniphobia, as with any fear: they may have had repeated bad experiences with nightmares/night terrors as a child. Known by many names—somniphobia and fear of sleep being the most common—the problem often significantly impacts quality of life. It can cause panic attacks, and symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, irregular heartbeat and a sense of impending doom/dread.

Brett - "Dude, maybe you have Somniphobia."

Solophobia

n. The fear of being alone. Amplified by separation from one's parent(s) at a young age, and/or being left alone at a young age for extended periods of time, solophobia is a powerful, instinctual, primal aversion to loneliness, which inspires action without thought. Solophobes seek contact with others at all times, potentially to unhealthy extents. Often immediately indistinguishable from gregariousness, solophobia differs in that it is caused by the desire to avoid negative feelings rather than a desire to seek positive feelings. While it is possible for a solophobe to experience positive feelings as an indirect result of acting on their fear, the root motivation remains the avoidance of negative feelings.

Multiple solophobes, in common company, run the risk of long periods of inaction, locked into the avoidance of negative feelings, but unable to seek positivity. A romantic bond between two undiagnosed solophobes is one of the most powerful interpersonal bonds known to pseudo-psychology.

Solophobia is distinguished from the seemingly similar "autophobia," where auto = self, and phobia = fear. Theoretically, feelings caused by autophobia would remain in the presence of others, but feelings caused by solophobia would temporarily evaporate in the presence of others. The difference between fearing one's self and fearing solitude necessitates the creation of the word Solophobia.

"In hindsight, I realize that my solophobia was the cause of my compulsion to put off my homework to hang out with my neighbors in college, who bored me anyway."

"My dog will scratch at the door to go outside to pee, but when I close the door behind her, her solophobia takes over and she immediately wants back inside, rendering her unable to pee. Dilemma."

"I think I might need to move, my neighbor keeps solophobily trying to hang out, and he smells like hot garbage."
