Brontophobia, or the pathological fear of storms, is considered a childhood fear, but many more adults are affected. Erotomania, or amorous obsession, is both the uncontrollable anguish over unrequited love and the self-deception of feeling desired by someone. Gerontophobia, related to what is known as Peter Pan syndrome, describes the aversion to old age or the aging of those we love. Choreomania is the compelling need to dance ceaselessly until exhaustion. More than half of the world's population suffers from nomophobia, the excessive panic of not having a mobile phone at hand. Everyone, without exception, is obsessed with something. While society considers the phobias and obsessions of its individuals unforgivable flaws, merely understanding them can help us understand ourselves and those around us. To reconcile with ourselves. To feel a little less alone.
