Scriptophobia – Fear of writing in public
Everyone knows about the fear of speaking in public. In fact, it ranks higher than the fear of death for most people. Scriptophobia must be its lesser-known counterpart, but I'm having a hard time imagining when this phobia would come into play, other than kids having to write on the blackboard in school or someone having to write a check.

Phobophobia – Fear of phobias
This fear seems a little circular to me. Are phobophobes afraid of the sheer volume and range of phobias? Hopefully, no phobophobes will be reading this list.
