Do you know some of these phobias?

Phobias are the most irrational fears of objects, situations, animals, etc. Most of the population suffers from common phobias such as fear of spiders (arachnophobia) or not as common as origami, which is the fear of wet or cracked paper.

A phobia is the irrational way that we can have objects, situations or animals. This fear is often caused by a trauma or a situation that we have not been able to overcome. I, for example, am afraid of cockroaches, it is an irrational fear, I cannot see them, it causes me panic, disgust, I have to find someone to kill them, it is something I cannot control and many times I wonder what it is Should this, if I should, should I consult a specialist ?, Because something so small generates so much fear in me ?.

These irrational means can provoke panic attacks, anxiety, depression, immobilization. So it should be understood that people who suffer from these fears do not react in that way on a whim, but because they do not really process seeing, feeling or being present in some situations.

There are very common phobias, which most suffer from, while there are others that are very rare, below we will discover from the most common to the rarest:
