Top 10 Fears

Snakes is the only one that I identify with.
1. Arachnophobia:
The fear of spiders.
This phobia tends to affect women more than men.
2. Ophidiophobia:
The fear of snakes.
Often attributed to evolutionary causes, personal experiences, or cultural influences.
3. Acrophobia:
The fear of heights.
This fear can lead to anxiety attacks and avoidance of high places.
4. Agoraphobia:
The fear of situations in which escape is difficult.
This may include crowded areas, open spaces, or situations that are likely to trigger a panic attack. People will begin avoiding these trigger events, sometimes to the point that they cease leaving their home.
Approximately one third of people with panic disorder develop agoraphobia.
5. Cynophobia:
The fear of dogs.
This phobia is often associated with specific personal experiences, such as being bitten by a dog during childhood.
6. Astraphobia:
The fear of thunder and lightening.
Also known as Brontophobia, Tonitrophobia, or Ceraunophobia.
7. Trypanophobia:
The fear of injections.
Like many phobias, this fear often goes untreated because people avoid the triggering object and situation.
8. Social Phobias:
The fear of social situations.
In many cases, these phobias can become so severe that people avoid events, places, and people that are likely to trigger an anxiety attack.
9. Pteromerhanophobia:
The fear of flying.
Often treated using exposure therapy, in which the client is gradually and progressively introduced to flying.
10. Mysophobia:
The fear of germs or dirt.

Humans are born with four fears:
Snakes
Heights
Dark
Loud noises
Goes back to evolution.
Obviously, we develop some fears due to social structure and our cultures.

Still a work in progress for me...though it's much better than it had been.
But my big one: Spheksophobia, a.k.a. fear of wasps. Because frick wasps.

Snakes don't scare me.
However, I'm really scared when my son goes and plays in the yard. I'm always afraid a snake is going to get him.
I'm pretty much afraid of anything that has the potential to hurt my kid.
