I have thought about this for a while ...
Is it possible to dislike anything today, without being called having a phobia?
Spiders ... Aha, you have a spider phobia.
Red wine ... Aha, you have a eucharist phobia.
Diamonds ... Aha, you have a Nathan Jones phobia.
. . . . . and on and on it goes.
😃 fibre toast, lemon juice, brie and rain/:musik

musik, I completely misunderstood the title, thought you were particularly overjoyed about something and we all should be too Maybe change the last word to 'nowadays'? Is it possible to have a phobia of people with personality disorders? Would each one have its own title d'you think? Apparently NPD cases are increasingly rapidly, is this down to social media?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Title changed.👍 Phobia is a diagnosis and should only be applied when it leads to severe consequences for the one with it. For instance if you can't go to the toilet at work since you saw a huge spider in there once, leading to basically you have to quit the job. I don't think social media is the cause to narcistic personality disorders, but perhaps is a good way to show how many who has got it more or less.

Celery Rhubarb Arsenal My feet.
All the work of beelzebub and should be roundly castigated in public. No doubt the first two will cause outrage but I defy anyone to claim they like the last two

No doubt the first two will cause outrage but I defy anyone to claim they like the last two So you don't think you have a phobia about any of those four things? It would be dreadful to have a phobia about your own feet.

It would be dreadful to have a phobia about your own feet. No, no phobias about them Musik. Celery and rhubard taste disgusting. I daresay Arsenal & my feet do too, although I wouldn't be keen to try. I just dislike all bare feet, they give me the shivers. Couldn't claim it's a phobia, though. And hatred of Arsenal is universal. Even so-called Arsenal fans should be applauded for overcoming their prejudice by being fans of something they hate.
I don't have any phobias as such. I really don't like heights or crowds but I'll suffer both at a push.
Many things and people I dislike, even hate, but no phobias. Life's complicated and miserable enough without having anything to add to it.

Very much like me, apart from the rhubard, I assume. It's been so long since (30 years?) I ate anything with rhubarb, like a pie, but with lots of sugar and vanilla it's tasty I recall. To chew on it raw just like it is, is no highlight. I created this thread as a consequence, a reaction, to media and tv debates here where everyone with a different view were considered to be sick, to have a phobia. The most popular labels are "homophobia" and "islamophobia". Apparently, you never hear someone saying "christianity phobia" or "hetero phobia". Strange.

They're not an invisible entity that only show up when a rump steak has been cut into.
Either that or you're eating steak in a vegan restaurant.

Waiter, I'd like a vegan for my tea, please. Medium rare with a peppercorn sauce, chips and peas.
Ah, the long pork des tofu munchers, sir. A fine choice.
I think what Musik is getting at is the way "phobia" can be construed as both distrust/dislike and fear. Two largely different concepts but one can easily stem from the other so they are linked and often conflated.
It is a bit snowflake, look-at-me, attention seeking in the way Musik has phrased it - not Musik, that is ! I don't like spiders becomes arachnophobia. Get a grip, it's not arachnophobia unless you really are one of those (rare but real) unfortunates who can't enter a room with a spider in it without having a fit and fainting. No, you just don't like spiders. You might really, really hate them but unless it's full-on passing out or similar, it's not a phobia.
Having just re-read Musik's OP:
Nathan Jones phobia -fear of diamonds - Musik, you're a genius :-) You should register that with the GMC or the Swedish Equivalent. You could become as famous as Henry Heimlich etc. I can't find a name for it so I think a direct translation would be Diamantiphobia.
