Everyone has their ticks. But phobias are extreme cases of fear and anxiety. There are many, many phobias. People who have claustrophobia are afraid of being in compact spaces. Cibophobia is the fear of eating. And agoraphobia is the fear of going outside. For people who have phobias, it can be very hard to face that fear and overcome it. But some of them will actually expose themselves to their fear to overcome it. They do exposure therapy.

I was afraid of wasps and bees for a very long time. When I saw one, I ran away. Screaming all the way. When I informed myself about the differencies of bees and wasps, it got much better. I’m “only” afraid of wasps now – haha.

I am afraid of no money to live. So I work hard to face my fear.


   I am afraid of illness and unhealthy so I like sports.


  I am afraid of seeing genocide  so I study everyday because when I know more a little the fear will be reducing a little.



  I am afraid of the pollution of the air and the environment so I use the environmental protection things in living and protect the plants and lawn and so on. I believe that the good environment needs everyone to do a little.
