👉 Automysophobia is a condition characterized by an overwhelming fear of certain types of movements, such as swimming or driving. It can be triggered by specific situations or objects that trigger anxiety, and it often manifests itself in a physical way, such as shyness or avoidance behavior. The term "automysophobia" was coined by psychiatrist Dr. James P. Nussbaum in his book "Fear: A Psychobiological Approach".
