🛡⚔Phobias
🚩we can roughly state three different categories of phobia.
🔴1. Specific / Simple Phobias
These are relatively common phobias and involve the fear of specific living creatures, situations, places, activities or objects. Some examples are a fear of bats (chiroptophobia), snakes (opidiophobia), flying (aviophobia) and dentists (dentophobia).
🔴2. Social Phobias
People who suffer from a social phobia (often referred to as social anxiety disorder) find it difficult to be physically present at social events or in situations were social interaction is important. Going to weddings, parties or exhibitions may result in feelings of anxiety and a fear of being embarrassed or humiliated in public.
🔴3. Agoraphobia
This last category can be seen as an extreme case phobia. People who suffer from Agoraphobia are frightened to find themselves in situations where there is no escape. They have a fear of being somewhere where there is absolutely no help from other people. Examples may include the fear of traveling in a bus or train, going to large shopping malls or cinema’s. People who suffer from a severe case of Agoraphobia may even find it unbearable to leave the comfort of their own house.🔚
