Phobias are constant, irrational fears that afflict some people. Their fear should be taken seriously. The person should never be made fun of or belittled because of their fear. But, as writers, we can bless (or curse) our characters with phobias and make the story so much more interesting. What happens if someone encounters the object of their fear? They could feel dread, nausea, or breathlessness. They could sweat excessively or lose the ability to think or speak clearly. They could lose control and become angry. Detachment from reality is a possibility, as is a full-blown anxiety attack.  Pick one of the following phobias – alliumphobia, anthrophobia, illyngophobia, oneirophobia – and see if you can create a character with that specific fear.

For a University project, I had to create a one minute video on a phobia. I chose the phobia "Illyngophobia". Enjoy!

Shout out to Jonny Mousdell for his Hollywood acting skills and Crank Cavans :P
