A to Z Challenge Poetry

C is for Cathisophobia #atozchallenge

Posted on 3 April 2015

There was a man whose name was Ned
He stood everywhere; even on his bed
He feared if he sat
He would remain flat
So he remained forever on his two legs instead

(c) Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life

Note: Cathisophobia is the fear of sitting

    Is there a fear of standing? Because I think I have that. I get faint when I have to stand for too long.

    Imagine living like that! This will make a great book for kids, Sanch. Perhaps your sis could illustrate?

      Thanks Lillian. I used Google to find a list of phobias and there were several sites that listed them from A to Z. I guess a lot of them were quirky ones with a few genuine ones. I used the quirky ones for my limericks, of course! 😀

      Thanks Nick…yep, I certainly wouldn’t want Ned’s phobia. Life would be way too difficult! 😀

    Oh the poor soul ! How in the world do such people sleep ? I can’t imagine not being able to sit all my life time or not being able to snuggle into my comfy bed at night.

    Thanks for sharing, Sanch. 🙂

    Is there such a thing as a fear of sitting? Difficult to enjoy a good book if you’re standing up all the time. But I suppose if they have bibliophobia as well, it won’t matter. 🙂

    I second Corinne’s idea, Sanch.

      No idea Kaddu! If we had it, we’d be standing and typing all day long. Not sure how many blogs I’d read standing though…

    That’s an interesting phobia. Aren’t we as humans strange beings sometimes? Wow. Have you heard of Trypophibia? I wrote a blog post indirectly realated to it called, “Freaky Suriname Toad Birth, a Trypophobic’s Worst Nightmare” if you care to check it out.

    I’m visiting you from the A-Z challenge. I’m doing it too and my theme is Animals. Have fun!

    Never heard of such a fear before: how interesting! And yet, I cannot imagine it. I moved a couple of days ago and stood a lot packing and cleaning and now unpacking…it’s hard on the legs, knees, and feet. How is this possible?! 😉 <3
