What Phobia Do I Have?

When it comes to your fears, it's pretty obvious that you are like millions of others around the world that are terrified of spiders. Hopefully you live with someone that isn't afraid, otherwise, you're going to have a rough time if one shows up.

Ophidiophobia is the second most popular phobia for all people, and that's the fear of snakes. Some say that it's an evolutionary phobia because you should be afraid of poisonous snakes so that you stay away from getting fattally bitten. Hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities are likely out of the question for you.

How does skydiving or bungee jumping sound to a person with acrophobia? Like a living nightmare. Those that are acrophobic have a fear of heights and feeling, even from short distances up in the air. Some people are afraid of climbing up as short a range as a chair!

Malls, grocery stores, sports stadiums, and concerts are some of the places that most people love to spend time at. If you have agoraphobia though, you are terrified of all of these locations. You're most comfortable at home.

Whenever you have to go out in public, you probably think that the place is crawling with germs no matter where you look or what you touch. We're guessing you're spending a lot of time bathing and washing your hands to keep yourself from getting sick.

When it comes to small spaces, you have absolutely no interest in spending any time in them. Not only does it make you uncomfortable, you probably start thinking that you're you're going to be stuck in that spot forever. It's a common phobia, so rest assured that you're not alone.
