Acrophobia is known as acrophobia.

This is the most common fear in the world. Specifically according to results from YouGov, at least 23% said they were extremely afraid of heights, and 35% said they were "a little scared". This fear will gradually increase over time, but cannot be relieved.

The fear of heights is scientifically known as acrophobia, and it is still unclear what causes that fear. Only know that people with this disease tend to "exaggerate" the distance when standing high above. The more afraid, the greater the deviation in assessment.

 

In fact, fear of snakes is not an innate fear.

The second most common fear is fear of snakes - 21% are extremely afraid, and 31% feel uncomfortable seeing snakes.

Snake itself is a creature with a scary appearance, so many people who don't like them are understandable. However, you may find it better to know that most snakes in the world do not have poison.

In fact, fear of snakes is not an innate fear. In the University of Virginia experiments, children 1-2 years old can detect the presence of snakes very quickly, but are willing to play with them (of course, non-toxic species).

According to experts, this is an evolutionary mechanism, because when people can sense snakes faster, the ability to survive in nature is also greater.

 

Crowd fear can affect you on many levels.

If this fear is not on the list, it is a mistake.

In the survey, at least 23% felt afraid, while 36% felt uncomfortable. But in fact, just walking around the lecture halls and asking, you will see that most students have this "disease".

Crowd fear can affect you on many levels. Some people feel anxious, stressed a little; Some people almost stand motionless; Some people have stomach pain, even nausea at the time of speaking.

The exact mechanism that formed this fear has not been found by science.

 

18% said they were extremely afraid of spiders.

Along with snakes, spiders are also one of the most common fears in the world. 18% said that they were extremely afraid of this very hairy hairy animal.

Like fear of snakes, children may not be afraid of spiders, but they detect spiders very quickly. This is an important mechanism of evolution, helping people survive in the past.

5. Fear of tight places (claustrophobia)

The more afraid, the more surrounding the space tends to be narrower.

14% of participants surveyed had this fear. This is a fear that is almost similar to the fear of heights, only that people have a sense of deviation in space in a narrow direction. The more afraid, the more surrounding the space tends to be narrower.

6. Afraid of mice (Musophobia)

At least 9% of people are extremely afraid of mice.

Not surprisingly, mice are also one of the common fears. At least 9% of people are extremely afraid of mice. Compared to the size of the world population, at least the number must exceed 700 million.

There are many hypotheses for this fear. Some scientists believe that mice often appear very unexpectedly, startling people and gradually forming fear. Others believe that mice are a destructive species and carry many dangerous diseases, so humans evolve to fear them (especially for women).

7. Fear of injection (trypanophobia)

There is such a fear, called fear of sharp objects.

You are a boy? And are you afraid to go for injections? Don't worry, you're not alone.

There is such a fear, known as the fear of sharp objects , and at least 8% of respondents own it, regardless of gender. In fact, it was not until 1994 that the fear of sharp objects was officially considered a phobia form.

Some people believe that the cause of fear is hereditary - because the ancestors of humans from the old days were afraid of being stabbed by sharp objects. In addition, bad experiences when going to injections at a young age also contribute to an increase in obsession.
