Have you heard people saying that they have a phobia of so and so things?
It’s a very common term these days, but a lot of people don’t actually know what it means. And surely they didn’t even imagine that these kinds of phobias exist!
According to the American Psychiatric Association, a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. It’s mostly when people feel a sense of danger or harm. It often leads to breathlessness, dizziness, and a racing heart rate.
The most common phobias include claustrophobia, where people fear closed spaces like elevators, and acrophobia when people are afraid of heights. Arachnophobia is also pretty common which means being afraid of spiders.
Apart from these common ones, here are some really strange phobias that you couldn’t have imagined.
