Cacophobia vs. Unatractiphobia: Distinct Phobias

Cacophobia = fear of ugliness (in objects, environments, or people).

Unatractiphobia = fear of being unattractive oneself (body‑image anxiety).

Both relate to appearance but differ in focus: external vs. self‑directed. Neither is a formal DSM‑5 diagnosis; they fall under specific phobia (other) or body dysmorphic disorder spectrum if impairing.
