I know almost anything can be a fear to someone but when I came across the fear of beards I had to stop for a second because I almost found this one too compelling to just simply browse through. This is an actual fear that people have. I immediately felt the need to research this new found fear right away to further educate myself as to what the fear is derived from or for what reason people happen to find beards frightening.
The first thing I learned about this fear is its name. Pogonophobia is the word for the fear of beards. Unfortunately after doing quite a bit of research I wasn’t able to find a good source for actually going into detail about what causes Pogonophobia and its effects on those of female or male origin. As I am assuming with males it will make them very apt to shaving at every opportunity but I wonder if they are frightened when doing so. Or if Pogonophobia actually contributes or is relative to a fear of hair.
There are unfortunately again many connections from some fears to others. Usually the individual suffers from a variety of fears sometimes non-relating or sometimes they all derive from the same basic things. Other fears can be completely consuming of one’s life. It really depends on the extent of the fear itself and just how much the individual is subject to that particular fear.
I am not sure how one would be best off dealing with Pogonophobia or overcoming their fear of bears. Perhaps to read or educate yourself about hair growth on one’s face may be a start. Or even they could slowly subject themselves to others beards to slowly kind of implement them and learn to control their fear.
Regardless the fear of beards or Pogonophobia is alive and very much a fear that some people face.
