Genuphobia – Fear of knees
The kneecap is one of the most visible parts of one’s body, but do you know certain people feel genuine fear upon seeing your knee? This condition is called genuphobia, the medical term for how some people hate their knees or others.
People with genuphobia worry about the vulnerability of their knees and think about certain knee injuries, dislocation, and ACL tears. They may experience anxiety when seeing or touching knees and are disgusted by the appearance of knees or repulsed if someone else’s knees brush against them.
