The Top 7 Most Common Phobias

Sometimes, fears become excessive and irrational, to the point where we can’t function normally. The intense worry and avoidance caused by these fears can interrupt day to day living, causing panic when that fear is encountered - that’s when the fear becomes a phobia. There are three types of phobias: social phobia, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. Specific phobias are further grouped into five major categories: environment, situational, animal, blood/injection/injury, and others. In this video, we discuss 7 most common phobias: Cynophobia, Aerophobia, arachnophobia, Ophidiophobia, and Arachnophobia (fear of spiders). If you find this list of phobias, weird, scary or unbelievable, you are not alone. These types of phobias are common phobias. They are phobias you might have or your friends might have them. Do you have a fear of phobias or any specific phobias?

literally, i used to tell my friends that i had a phobia of germs, and theyd start messing with all my stuff, getting their germs on it. oh, they’re sorry now.

[@Who-areyou]

I feel terrible for people with cynophobia. Context : Someone I used to hang out with when I was young had cynophobia. Storytime : My assistant principal used to bring her dog in every friday, I found this very irresponsible because of this person. One time the dog and the assistant principal walked into our class, and this person bursted out in tears and started screaming. She was on the verge of fainting . I hold a grudge against the assistant principal to this day.

[@mtlaura271]

As someone who has cynophobia I understand your friend perfectly I have such a big fear of dogs to the point that when I have to go to my grandparents(they live very close to us) I look left and right and than I run like my life depends on it, or when I see a stray dog I usually cross roads to avoid it but if I have no choice I move extremely slowly so that a person can pass besides me and I walk alongside with them till I can't see the dog, otherwise I walk extremely slowly till I pass the dog than I start walking normally

[@crafty453]

I know I'm late to the party, but one phobia I have that I think is quite common is "brontophobia" or the fear of thunder and lightning. Anytime there's a thunderstorm going on around me, I panic and, once in a blue moon, faint.

The video was informative and helped me gain a better understanding of some of the most common phobias people experience. I appreciated the clear explanations and examples provided for each phobia, and it was interesting to learn how they can manifest in different ways in people's lives. The video also emphasized the importance of seeking professional help if a phobia is interfering with one's daily life. Overall, I found the video to be helpful and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about phobias.

I have Cynophobia (fear of dogs) because they scared me in so many ways when I was very younger… Well, I know that no one ask for it but I’m going to tell you all the stories of HOW i get Cynophobia, well, Story 1: One day when I was like 3-4 yrs old, i was in kindergarten and my mom came for me, then we go to the house of my aunt, we were waiting outside my aunt to open us the door siege, my mom was hitting the door for make know my aunt to open us so we can enter, but while we were waiting I looked next to me, and there was an adult dog smelling me, I get in panic because I get scared, thank god my mom scare him for get away, that dog was opening his mouth closer me like getting ready for bite me, then we already enter I was still in panic but then my mom calm me, that’s the 1st reason I’m fear of dogs.. Story 2: One normal night at the house of my cousin, when I was 4-5 yrs old, i didn’t liked to much the house of my cousin cause she had an adult female dog, named Doll, I was stand normally a little bit scared by seeing the dog, then the dog started running at me, I started running for escape from her but then I accidentally fell down on the floor, I tried to get up but it was too late, the dog was up of my body seeing me, I get in so much panic seeing her up of my body, then the mom of my cousin or her dad make the dog get away from me, I was crying so much about that, that’s the 2nd reason I’m fear of dogs.. Well, that are the moments that I remember of dogs that scared me, I get traumatized about all that, this days I keep having that fear I am just not fear of baby dogs, Oh and the reason that I love cats, Reason: In the house of my aunt of the 1st story, inside of her house are so much cats, now she haves 20 I think, some of them escaped or get d13d, sometimes I go in her house and I always loved to play with her cats, so like a had more connection with cats, that how I preferred cats, but I respect you if you don’t like cats maybe because you are fear of them, well, I hope you understand me, blessings ! ❤⭐️

My list (I would not say I have any of this phobias, in their true meaning, besides the *acrophobia* one. The rest of them are fears that have not gotten to the point of becoming phobias, but I thought I would still list them): - Acrophobia: fear of heights (this is the only one that is truly a phobia for me. Like a 'phobia' and not only a fear. All those people that do parkour on tall a$s buildings or those that sit on the edge of it? Not even a chance, not even for a million dollars. I just know that I would lose my balance due to stress and fall hahah.) - Hemophobia: fear of blood (mostly consists in me getting extremely sick whenever I see blood unexpectedly or in large amounts, or anything else that is related to surgery and the human body and its components) - Cynophobia: fear of dogs (I was chased by a playful dog at the beach when I was 13. As his owner knew he was only playing, he did not react rapidly to me screaming, and it is safe to say I did not expect an unknown dog to chase me and even less without no one doing something.) - Entomophobia: fear of insects (it would be useless to start telling y'all how I react when insects attack me or, worse, when they are anywhere on my body. This one might turn into a real phobia if I'll find one of those little multi-legged things crawling on me again.). - Thalassophobia: fear of drowning/deep water (I'm still debating whether it is only a fear or a true phobia at this point).

I do not have this phobia, however I have Galeophobia ( The fear of sharks. ) And since orcas are normally more dangerous than sharks, I can see why you have this phobia.

My next door neigboor had a weiner dog named mustard when I was little, he was a rescue from a family who abused and underfed him for extreme amounts of time (he's very healthy now if any one was wondering). The majority of said abuse came from a kid, about my age at the time, who also looked like me. Needless to say, everytime he saw me he'd go into a frenzy barking and growling and it really scared me as a kid. It took him almost 7 years to trust me enough to even be within 9 feet of me and now (since I don't really look like that kid anymore) he isn't nearly as loud to me as he used to be. But the fear that was engrained in me at such a young age is still with me so now whenever I see a dog on the sidewalk, I move all the way to the curb to avoid it, no matter how friendly its supposedly is.
