In regard his comrades what did Henry fear?
In the Red Badge of Courage, Henry feared that his judgement of his boyhood friends may have been wrong, or "blind." This is stated in the seventh paragraph of chapter two of the book.
"In regard to his companions his mind wavered between two opinions, according to his mood. Sometimes he inclined to believing them all heroes. In fact, he usually admired in secret the superior development of the higher qualities in others. He could conceive of men going very insignificantly about the world bearing a load of courage unseen, and although he had known many of his comrades through boyhood, he began to fear that his judgment of them had been blind. Then, in other moments, he flouted these theories, and assured him that his fellows were all privately wondering and quaking."
There were other examples of fears in regard to his comrades throughout the story. Henry was very young when he joined battle, and his views evolved throughout the story.

NOR means "fear of extra-terrestrials, the dead" (Necrophobia is the fear of death and fear of the dead). Unfortunately, a lot of people out there took it as if it was a true since it's on a wiki and they didn't stop wonder if it was a real word or not.
If you want to know if a word is real, just look at the word's etymology (root language of a word) and you'll find your answer.
What is the phobia for underwear and bras?
Ahhhh . . . I don't think that is a phobia at all. That sounds a lot like OCD: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. If you are not hurting yourself or anyone else with your so-called fear, then think of something else every time you get those apprehensive thoughts. It is just a phase in your life - the apprehension will go away by itself, most likely.
By the way, I wonder what is the worst thing that would happen if your underwear DID fall off. Presumably, if you were at home, nothing would happen, except perhaps some short-term embarrassment. Presumably if you were outside with other people, wouldn't you have pants on over your underwear? Again, not much would happen, would it?
