Test: try to guess the meaning of these 15 manias

Most people have lived, at some stage of life (or still live today), some kind of passion or fixation, whether for a person, an object or a certain activity. These passions are known in the world of Psychology by the term “philia”, a word originating from the Greek philia, translated as “love” or “friendship”.
