Octophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of the figure 8.
The fear of certain numbers is very common and most of the time these
fears go far beyond the actual number.
Octophobia may be caused by superstitions or because of a feeling of
never being able to escape.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
