Fear 2 - Social Situations In Particular Circumstances

Fear can often be based on specific situations. In some cases people are simply frozen in place when they are asked to talk in front of an audience. This fear of public speaking usually comes from a bad experience.

Fear 3 - Animals

Some people get extremely fearful around animals. In some cases people are afraid to be near dogs because they were scared or even attacked by one. Of course some people are afraid of dogs because they do not have much experience with them.

Fear 4 - Insects like Arachnids

Another insect that causes irrational fear is the fear of cockroaches. These bugs, like spiders, can fit into small areas and surprise a person.

Fear 5 - Being in an Enclosed Environment
