dictophobia 

Share definition Flag
The irrational fear of repeating ones self in daily conversations with others,such as the sufferer's friends or randoms members of the public.The 'condition' causes the subject to be shy most of the time,leading to them to be commonly inaudible because of there low level of confidence this can commonly lead to awkward situations where the sufferer has to 'repeat themselves' to enable the listener to hear them.

the Howard Newton case of 1989 changed the way people percieved sufferers of dictaphobia,bringing to light the awful way they were treated,Howard Newton is the man who changed all this,he noticed the segregation of the 2 sufferers of dictophobia,they had to use 'dictophobia' toilets,buses,nightclubs and...umberella's.Howard newton followed the life of the sufferers(not hard there were only two of them).He made them feel wanted,he changed the speechist comments made about them and took his case to the high finland courts.the court trial was more important than the first man on the moon palaver.A massive 4 billion people watched the trial and this changed the perception of dictophobia,and by 2010 the sufferers where finally dead...

dictophobes are individuals that are scared of people with dictophobia,often acting on this fear with verbal abuse such as 'look at that 'dirty dic' and ahhh! he won't repeat what he said'. yes they are sad people.

Diokophobia 

Share definition Flag
It's time for an updated version of my first diokophobia definition since I am too stupid to figure out who to edit the old one- if there's even a way to do so, and it needs more information then what I wrote before.

Diokophobia (Pronounced DEE-Oh-Koh POH-Bee-Uh) is the irrational and extreme fear of being chased. It is the action of being chased by someone or something that frightens you, perhaps to the point of freezing, curling up defensively, or lashing out (verbally or physically). Diokophobia is not the fear of the thing chasing you, or what it will do when it catches up, it is the fear of the chase itself.

For example, a game like tag or football would be impossible do, due to the possibility of someone chasing you, even though you know they will not harm you (depending on the version of football you play, but you get my point). Video games may even scare you as phobias do transfer to games, but they might not always if you're able to separate yourself from the character.

And a little bit of an origin story of why I even made the term back in like- 2018 or something for my example:
Person 1: Hey, do you know what the fear of being chased is called?
Person 2: Oh, yeah, it's Diokophobia.
Person 1: Thank you so much, I've been trying to find out what's it's been called for ages. I can't seem to find it anywhere online. How did you know what it was called?
Person 2: Oh, I just made it up. Using the base for most phobia names, greek. Dioko is the word for pursuing something in a hostile manner but also means to follow someone without hostility. A bit of a contradictory word, so I thought it was perfect for Diokophobia since we may not be getting chased by something hostile but our brains somehow think it is.
Person 1: Wow... you spent way too much time on this.
Person 2: Yeah... I know... but if it gives some people closure on finally having a name for this after seeing forum after forum on the topic without a name, then whatever, I'm happy.

Diokophobia 

Share definition Flag
The fear of being chased. Dioko - Phobia (It’s pronounced how it looks. D-oh-koh and I hope you know how to pronounce phobia)

P.s. I made this word using the base of all phobia names due to so many people, and myself having it, and it not having a name.
Person 1- "I have Diokophobia."
Person 2- "What does that mean?"
Person 1- "It means I have an irrational fear of being chased, even when the thing chasing me won't hurt me."
