What are symptoms of micro phobia?
What is Microphobia?Microphobia is defined as a persistent, irrational fear of small, invisible objects such as germs and/or microbes. Sometimes referred to as mycrophobia, this word comes from the Greek "micros", meaning germs and "phobos" meaning fear. People affected by this phobia may also suffer with Tapinophobia or the fear of being contagious. Apparently, the individual fears that they have been infected by germs and are therefore contagious.What causes Microphobia?As with all phobias, the person suffering from Microphobia has experienced an actual trauma. That experience is then associated with microbes, germs and with being contagious. Perhaps the microphobic person contracted one of the routine childhood illnesses, was indeed contagious and was isolated from others for a period of time. The individual affected by Microphobia could have witnessed someone else respond in a negative manner and simply began to imitate that response. Whatever the cause, the microphobic person can experience anxiety, and emotional turmoil that can be completely disruptive of their daily functioning.What are the symptoms of Microphobia?The symptoms of Microphobia are individual and will vary. Some people, when confronted with their fear, may feel uncomfortable, nauseated or begin to perspire. At the opposite end of the spectrum, other people are so severely compromised by this phobia, that they experience anxiety and/or panic attacks.Other symptoms of Microphobia may include:• A dry mouth.• Gasping or shortness of breath.• Overall trembling.• Increased heartbeat.• Feeling out of control.• Feeling trapped and unable to escape.• Overwhelming fear of disaster.How is Microphobia diagnosed?The vast majority of cases of Microphobia are self-diagnosed. The individual realizes that their fear is irrational and is severely compromising their daily functioning.

If you have to be opposite on opposite day can there ever be an opposite day if you are opposite on opposite day?
If you have to be opposite on opposite day, that makes it a day, and then there was no opposite day. But that can't be true since you HAVE to be opposite, which means that you have to be normal even though there is an opposite day because you are supposed to be opposite on opposite day, which means that you act normal as if it was a normal day, because that is the opposite of opposite day. (This is a classic "liar's paradox". Since there is already an opposite day, you should have a normal day because that is the opposite of an opposite day. But then it is not an opposite day.)
