Top 10 Phobias

There're fears, and then there're phobias.  You know those irrational fears we have of dumb things like heights or clowns (big up Brandon lol).  They can't really hurt us, but, we have created a setting of fear that we subconsciously link to the object or place.  (I just made that up, but it sounds right doesn't it?  I'm no scientist sorry, this is a horror blog you came to the wrong place for facts and statistics.)  Anyhow, statistically speaking, 1 in 100,000 people actually die as a direct cause of a phobia they have.  I myself have a deathly fear of roaches, small spaces, and needles but I have no problem handling snakes, spiders, or big dogs like others might.  But now, back to my point:

Here are the Top Ten (according to Google) Most Common Phobias People Have:

10.  Trypophobia – The fear of holes
Okay this one is just too irrational for my understanding but whatever I'm affraid of roaches I can't really judge.
 

9.  Aerophobia – The fear of flying
I might have a mild case of this.

8.  Mysophobia – The fear of germs
Germs? Plllleeeease! Just wash your hands, you're fine.

7.  Claustrophobia – The fear of small spaces
YESSSSSSSS!  How can you not panic and get terrified in an enclosed tight area??

6.  Astraphobia – The fear of thunder and lightning
Funny, I find thunder and lighting beautiful and sobering.  I adore it.


5.  Cynophobia – The fear of dogs
NOT DOGGIES!  You monster!  They only want love and attention.


4.  Agoraphobia – The fear of open or crowded spaces
This one I can understand also because anxiety and people can be overwhelming.


3.  Acrophobia – The fear of heights
No thanks, I'm on the verge of being "high phobic".  I was born short for a reason.

2.  Ophidiophobia – The fear of snakes
But snakes are so adorable and slithery and squishy, awwwww!

1.  Arachnophobia – The fear of spiders
Sorry spiders, you guys are just creepy, but I respect you so you gotta respect me, just keep your distance and ease up on the cobwebs.
