Most of these are made up. It’d be like me saying “Egressphobia: the fear of exiting a room or building”

Tamzine,
Nope. Believe it or not but just about anything can be a fear or an attraction for someone. And fear of leaving a room or building is a pretty common one. Agoraphobia is the fear of going outside. Or how about the Japanese phenomenon of Hikikomori?

Deborah, Nope. No one has a fear of furniture. No one has a fear of the color yellow. Either the word fear/phobia is misused or it’s a misdiagnosis.

Tamzine,
Just because you don't know of them, doesn't mean they don't exist. A very logical way why someone could be afraid of yellow could be if someone was attacked by someone wearing a bright yellow shirt when they were a small child.

Tamzine, That would be called 'agoraphobia', and it's quite common. It may be one of the most common phobias.
I was run down on my bike by a guy in a white car. For weeks afterward, I couldn't even walk past a white car - even if it was parked, with the engine off, and no one inside. There is no end to what can become a phobia.
Side note: diseases and medical conditions tend to be named in greek; body parts tend to be named in latin. Hence agoraphobia instead of egressophobia.
