Numbers, Objects and Modern Life Phobias

A specific phobia whose feared object is a number, an everyday object, or a piece of modern technology, a category that includes some of the more unusual and more recently named phobias in the clinical literature as new technologies and cultural objects have become potential triggers. This group gathers the number, object and modern-life phobias recorded under Psychology's Specific Phobias group, spanning fear of specific numbers, fear of ordinary household or personal objects, and fear of technology, machines and digital communication.
