Peladophobia??? by Mike E. P. on 01 Sep, 2014 15:55

I'm reading an article in the New York Times today about a fella who can't swim and is deathly afraid of the water. The author mentions a number of common phobias and then mentions peladophobia ... a fear of bald people! Seriously, have you ever heard of this?
So far, my big, shiny bald head has not elicited any shrieks of terror ... a couple of chuckles perhaps, but to my knowledge, no one has run away from me due to my baldness.

That's a new one on me, too. I think if I had it I'd probably be too embarrassed to ever admit it.

But really, who the heck is afraid of bald people?
I googled it and apparently there are symptoms: anxiety, a feeling of dread, shortness of breath, sweating, dry mouth, nausea, fear of dying, heart palpitations, and shaking. LOL.

As long as you have a big glass of milk, what's to fear? -

Mike, you don't strike fear in me....nice head tan, BTW....On a side note the over/under of our philosopher friend Blitzed giving his take on this thread is about the next 3.5 posts if you know what I mean.

I have actually seen people dodge me before. Then again, I usually walk around with an annoyed look on my face.

Hi Mike: Wow... I did not know that such a thing can occur. I think that these people are strictly judging people by their physical appearance. Oh well, that is their lost not mine but thanks for sharing.
So far, my big, shiny bald head has not elicited any shrieks of terror ... a couple of chuckles perhaps, but to my knowledge, no one has run away from me due to my baldness.

A fear of bald people that's absurd. Now some phobias are legit like say oh I don't know let's go with the fear of birds (some will understand) now that's reasonable. But fear of the dome uh no......unless it is accompanied by a really smokin' skullet.
