You have Arachnophobia
You have Arachnophobia
You are petrified of spiders! Upon seeing a spider, you will probably scream, cry, have trouble breathing, have excessive sweating or even heart trouble!
One of the most common theories about this fear suggests that arachnophobia was a survival technique for our ancestors. But don't worry! Like all specific phobias, arachnophobia is most commonly treated through therapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral techniques. Some newer research has shown that virtual reality therapy, in which the sufferer is exposed to virtual representations of spiders, may work as well as the older technique of gradually exposing the client to live spiders. You got this!
You have Myctophobia!
You have Myctophobia!
You are afraid of the dark! Fear of the dark could be perpetuated by a tragic or intense life experience or a deeper underlying fear... You like the familiar, and are uncomfortable with the unknown.
When you feel like you are being swallowed whole by darkness, you experience panic, shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, sweating, increased heart rate and even chest pain. Better sleep with the lights on!
You have Acrophobia! You are terrified of heights, the higher you you climb, the higher your heart rate goes! Better keep your feet on the ground!
You have Acrophobia! You are terrified of heights, the higher you you climb, the higher your heart rate goes! Better keep your feet on the ground!
You are terrified of heights! Emotionally and physically, the response to acrophobia is similar to the response to any other phobia. You may begin to shake, sweat, experience heart palpitations and even cry or yell out. You may feel terrified and paralyzed. It might become difficult to think.
You are a very grounded person, you like to be in control of your whereabouts and keep your feet on solid ground, but maybe the only way to overcome your fears is to climb that mountain and reach for the top!
You have Mysophobia! You are totally grossed out by dirt and germs, you are always scrubbing away trying to make sure you don't catch anything nasty!

You are a huge germaphobe! Hygiene and cleanliness is one of your number one priorities, you can't stand getting dirty or thinking about all of the little bacteria crawling around everywhere you go! You probably don't like shaking hands with people or using public transportation, but the good news is you are obviously a very meticulous and organized person, so it helps you in other areas of your life!
You have Coulrophobiaa!
You have Coulrophobiaa!
You are petrified of clowns! Maybe you watched Stephen King's "IT" when you were young, or maybe that clown at your 5th birthday party looked at you the wrong way. You are uneasy with the unfamiliar, and you are not a person who is into extreme things. You are happy with things that are comforting and familiar to you. Steer clear of the circus and birthday parties or else you will go into a clown anxiety attack. There's nothing funny about your phobia!
You have Ophidiophobia!
You have Ophidiophobia!
You are deathly afraid of snakes! Some researchers believe that the fear may be evolutionary, developed by our ancestors as a survival mechanism. You cringe at the thought of the slimy creatures, and if you see one in real life, you will probably hyperventilate and go into a full phobia panic attack. You could probably overcome this fear by interacting with a real snake, but watch out, it could be venomous....
