Answer 3

afraid of the dark and cheeseburgers! 1. Arachnophobia - the fear of spiders. There is no escape from these eight-legged beasts. They live in our houses, gardens, and even our places of work. True arachnophobes are even scared of pictures of spiders. 2. Social phobia - the fear of social situations. More than simple shyness. This is an extreme fear of being scrutinised by others, or humiliated by one's own actions. 3. Aerophobia - the fear of flying. In a plane, obviously. Often paired with claustrophobia. 4. Agoraphobia - the fear of inescapable situations. The result is anxiety and panic attacks, which can easily become self-perpetuating. Extreme agoraphobes are confined to their own home, which is the only place they consider to be safe. 5. Claustrophobia - the fear of confined spaces. Sufferers will stay well away from elevators, trains and tiny cupboards under the stairs. May cause panic attacks if escape is not possible. 6. Acrophobia - the fear of heights. Sufferers may have panic attacks and put themselves in genuine danger if they can't get down. Often confused with vertigo - which is merely a dizzy or spinning sensation and not necessarily caused by heights. 7. Emetophobia - the fear of vomit. No one likes the sight or smell of vomit, but these sufferers will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid the stuff. 8. Carcinophobia - the fear of cancer. Although it's not contagious, a carcinophobe will believe he has cancer because he touched someone else with the disease. 9. Brontophobia - the fear of thunderstorms. Also known as astraphobia. Child and adult sufferers alike hide away from thunder and lightning, lest they suffer panic attacks and have difficulty breathing. 10. Necrophobia - the fear of death. Derived from the fear of being buried alive, after early excavations of coffins showed scratch marks made by trapped victims. Also relates to coffins and corpses.

Answer 5

Here are some common phobias;

AGORAPHOBIA: Fear of being in places where there is a chance of having a panic attack that people may witness, and getting away rapidly may be difficult. Because of these fears the sufferer will deliberately avoid such places - which may include crowded areas, special events, queues (standing in line), buses and trains, shops and shopping centers, and airplanes.

SOCIAL PHOBIA: Intense fear of certain social situations, especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you feel you'll be watched or evaluated by others.

These social situations may be so frightening that you get anxious just thinking about them or go to great lengths to avoid them. social phobia is the fear of being scrutinized, judged, or embarrassed in public. You may be afraid that people will think badly of you or that you won't measure up in comparison to others. And even though you probably realize that your fears of being judged are at least somewhat irrational and overblown, you still can't help feeling anxious.

SCHOOL PHOBIA: Fear of going to school. Social Phobia It is not truancy and it's not the occasional day when your child doesn't want to go to school for a specific reason. It's when a child persistently avoids or refuses to go to school and is truly distressed with visible anxiety about attending. Often, no matter how much a parent cajoles or reasons, the child will not enter the school building.

ACROPHOBIA: Extreme fear of heights, which can induce feelings of panic, panic attacks, nausea and dizziness if a person is exposed to heights. Acrophobia should not be confused with agoraphobia, the fear of the outdoors or open spaces, which contributes to many people feeling they can't leave their homes. Both are serious conditions, and both common. Of the two, acrophobia is more common, and is possibly an inborn trait in some people.

ARACHNOPHOBIA: Fear of spiders. Sufferers from arachnophobia experience undue anxiety, even though they realize that the risk of encountering a spider and being harmed by it is small or nonexistent. They may avoid going barefoot and may be especially alert when taking showers or getting into and out of bed.
