你到底在怕什么？19种奇怪的恐惧症

9. Socmephobia – fear of social media

社交媒体恐惧症——害怕社交媒体

Not sure this is a genuine name, but I’m sure it’ll be popping up in medical journals in the next few years. Ever felt like it’s impossible to break away from the constant demands and conversations on social media such as facebook, twitter, or mixi, yet feel depressed after checking them, and not want to go back? Feelings of jealousy and failure after seeing your friends’ latest status update about their awesome job, or browsing through their pics from a fabulous fancy night out can lead to social isolation and inferiority complexes, triggering this phobia.

名称是否正确还有待商定，但可以肯定的是，不出几年医学杂志上就会有相关报道。是否觉得难以戒掉facebook、twitter或mixi之类的社交媒体，但上瘾之后又觉得很抑郁、难以自拔？每次看完朋友更新的好工作碎碎念、浏览他们美图美照后，都会觉得羡慕和失落？那么这有可能造成与社会脱节、引发自卑情结，最后患上恐惧症。

10. Scopophobia – fear of being stared at

被盯恐惧症——害怕被人盯着看

The idea of being in the middle of a crowd of people all staring at you would be enough to rattle anyone (excluding reality TV stars). Sufferers of scopophobia often irrationally fear that everyone around is staring at them, paralysing them with fear and making their movements clumsy and awkward, drawing even more (perceived) stares. Consequently they dislike crowded places, and even rear-view mirrors. People with social anxiety also often fear being stared at.
