Modern society has brought us many conveniences, but not everyone appreciates these advanced times in which we live. HelloGiggle.com put together a list of modern-day phobias brought on by the pressures of living in the world today.

  •  Nomophobia – fear of losing access to your mobile phone
  • Deipnophobia – fear of dinner party conversations
  • Editiovultaphobic – fear of Facebook
  • Anuptaphobia – fear of staying single (forever)
  • Mageirocophobia - fear of cooking
  • Politicophobia – fear of politicians

I am really thinking that these are things we don't want to deal with so we claim phobia so our friends and family will leave us alone...just sayin'
