Is there a phobia name for fear of mannequins?

Answer 1

Answer

Yes, it's called pediophobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediophobia). It's a general fear and everyone has at least some fear or more. Some people don't like going up elevators; don't like heights (vertigo); don't like flying; hate Spiders, snakes or bugs in general. There are many fears out there and everyone has one fear they generally don't like to talk about. Your chances of ever being in a situation with a mannequin is slight. If you are in a store move somewhere else. Better still, face your fears? Pull apart your fear and ask yourself what on earth a mannequin could possibly do to harm you. YOU ARE IN CONTROL! I do believe that there should be a phobia name for fear of mannequins; I am so scared of them. Whenever I go shopping, I get the feeling that they will come to my house and turn me into one of their kind. God! Some of them don't even have heads or arms or legs! If someone who reads this belongs to NASA could you please make up a scientific name for mannequins!?!?!?!?
