What is the phobia of knives in the dishwasher?

I know that fear of knives is aichmophobia, but fear of them in the dishwasher is very specific. Though they have a lot of names for phobias, I don't think they have a name for that. Is it a fear of putting knives in the diswasher, or having them already be there? I think if you're looking for a name and details about it, there's a good chance they have something on it in the book DSM-IV, it's quite detailed and reputable. I hope this helps

Fear of kissing?

You know I used to feel that way, but you can't think like that. You have to have confidence about kissing.

I mean, if you kiss someone, don't think about "Am I doing bad? Is this wrong?"

Just have fun with it, and once your used to it, those insecurities won't come back and you'll like kissing so much more.

good luck (;

Bolshevism - why was it feared?

A specific answer would depend on the specific country, but generally Bolshevism was feared because if the workers, led by the Bolsheviks (communists) carried out their threatened revolution then the middle class would lose their political power and their wealth. This would mean that "the rich" would no longer control the country and would not be able to make huge profits from their businesses by paying the workers (low wages) a small percentage of what the company earned. In countries like Russia where the first successful Communist revolution occured, even bigger changes would be needed as the country was ruled by a king (Tsar) so not just the middle class would lose out but so would all the royalty and nobles. Bolshevism threatened to change the way countries had always been and so it was seen as REALLY scary by anyone with any power or wealth that they could lose.
