    Fears are natural emotional responses to genuine threats that warn of danger and help keep people safe, like feeling afraid during a thunderstorm. Phobias, however, involve feeling overwhelming worry and fear even when there is no real risk, such as feeling nervous after seeing a spider on TV. While fears can be beneficial, phobias are unnecessary and cause more distress than the situation warrants. Common phobias include social phobias, agoraphobia, cynophobia (fear of dogs), and others. Phobias often develop from negative past experiences and can sometimes run in families, but with gradual exposure and support from a therapist, people can learn to confront and overcome their phobias.

    Fears vs.

    Phobias
    Have you wondered if there is a difference between fears
    and phobias? Well, yes, although they are closely connected but
    there are significant variations between them.

    What is fear?
    When you think there is a genuine and ongoing threat, fear is
    a natural emotional response. It makes reason to be frightened
    when there is a thunderstorm for example, this dread, in reality,
    this gives us a warning or an alert to tell us to be careful. Your
    terror will last until the thunderstorm ends.

    People’s Fears
    People are afraid of circumstances that make them feel
    unsafe. For example, suppose someone who is unable to swim. They
    may be afraid of deep water. In this instance, the dread is a
    beneficial fear because it warns the individual to remain secure.
    The person could overcome this fear by learning how to swim.

    The fear can be healthy if warns a person to remain secure in


    dangerous circumstances. However, some fears are unnecessary
    and cause more care than the situation requires.

    A lot of people fear public speaking. Even when it comes to a


    presentation, acting in a school play in front of many people, and
    giving reports in class. This is one of the common fears people
    have.

    FEAR OR FUN?
    Some individuals find the flow of fear exciting or entertaining.
    They might enjoy extreme activities and watch the most
    terrifying horror movies meanwhile others dislike the feeling of
    being scared or taking chances in the scariest situations or
    extreme activities.
    What is Phobia?
    A phobia is a fear reaction to a thing or situation. Phobias cause
    overwhelming worry even when there is no risk. For example, if you
    have arachnophobia, just seeing an arachnid on TV can make you
    extremely nervous.

    Types of phobias
    Phobias can arise in response to any item or situation. There
    are many different types of fears. They are divided into 2 groups,
    and they are called specific and complex phobias. The most common
    phobias that people have.

    Social phobias are classified as an anxiety condition and are


    characterized by excessive self-consciousness in social situations.

    Many people believe that agoraphobia is a fear of open places,


    but this is not the case. Agoraphobia is the fear of being in certain
    locations or situations for example: places could be difficult or
    embarrassing to get out of, and you might not be able to get
    assistance if you have a panic episode.

    Cynophobia is the fear of dogs. Dog phobia is a prevalent


    phobia, especially among toddlers. Fear of animals can be
    exacerbated by a bad encounter with an animal and is one of the
    most difficult phobias to overcome because dogs can feel people's
    fear.

    What causes phobias?


    Many phobias emerge as a result of a negative encounter or
    panic attack associated with a particular item or circumstance.
    There could be a connection between your particular phobia and your
    parents' phobia, which could be due to heredity.
    Overcoming phobias
    By confronting their fears, people can learn to conquer their
    phobias.  It requires courage and desire. Sometimes individuals
    require the assistance of a therapist to direct them through the
    procedure.

    The first step is making a list. Writing down your phobias from
    least to greatest. For example: you have cynophobia (fear of dogs)
    you can try looking at a photo of dogs or standing next to someone
    petting their dog or walking their dog.

    Then you try each phobia on the list one at a time. The
    individual is not compelled to do anything and works on each phobia
    until the individual is at ease.

    The last step is getting a therapist to show you how to walk,


    approach, pet, and help the individual try doing it. Overall, with
    support, you will be able to overcome your fears and phobias.
