Learning new things

I learned a new word today: emetophobia, also knows as fear of vomiting.

It's really weird - you know what you are and how you work, but suddenly finding a single word to describe it all seems to change everything. I've always known I have an irrational fear of vomiting, but to read a long detailed description of emetophobia and say for every single point "yep, that's me" is... enlightening.

I'm not even exaggerating when I'm saying that I'm suddenly seeing the whole world in a different way.
