Being scared of fear and panic
Being scared of specific situations
Some people get scared of a specific situation even though it is not dangerous. Typically, the person with these fears will avoid the situation in order to prevent getting scared. These fears are called phobias. Most people have one phobia or another, for example of spiders or snakes. However, some people have phobias of everyday situations, such as:
• crowded places, for example public buses or markets;
• open places (anywhere out of the house);
• social situations, for example meeting people on social occasions.
If a person has a fear of these situations and starts avoiding them, it will severely affect his life. This is why some phobias become health problems.
