I'VE GOT 40 PHOBIAS

Spiders, social settings, flying, not being able to escape, and small spaces. These are currently the top five phobias. A phobia is an extreme irrational fear that interferes with your daily life. Even just the thought of your phobia can cause an anxiety that becomes a burden to your everyday living. These go beyond being nervous to take a test or giving a speech, a true phobia will lead you to do everything in your power to avoid that specific object or situation. There are no specific causes as to why people obtain phobias either, and the reason for creating them varies from person to person. For example, a child witnessing her parent's phobias as he or she grows up may obtain that phobia as well. Also, many people develop their phobias before the age of 25. Social phobias develop in children as young as five years old. A traumatic event can lead to a phobia, and your gender can also predetermine what type of phobia you will have. Females are more apt to have social phobias than males. Males are more suspect to drinking alcohol which masks their anxiety levels lower but can lead to depression.
In this Youtube video I posted the guy is confessing all forty of his phobias. It is obviously unheard of to have this many phobias, but it is not uncommon to have more than one phobia. He goes through and describes each phobia while the doctor tells him the scientific name. Going to therapy is one of the ways to overcome a phobia, and it can be extremely helpful. In the end of the video, he expresses that he's afraid of going to the doctor's, and it shows how a phobia can run your life. People who have a specific fear like doctors, dentists, hospitals neglect receiving the help that they really need.
