Phobias

I live in a family of eight eyed freaks...

Have you ever encountered a spider and got a fright? Well Arachnophobia is the word for you. I’m starting to feel that you may not know what Arachnophobia means?  Am I right?, Well lucky for you I’m having a whole explanation about stay tuned! (Unless you have a spider curiously walking on your shoulder :] )

The word "phobia" is a term that refers to a group of illness brought on by feared objects or situations. For example arachnophobia means the fear of spiders.The scientific word for spiders are "Arachnids" and phobias means the fear of something or situation.So the smart scientists made life easier by combining the word,arachnid and phobiawhich makes "Arachnophobia" ( ah - rack - no - fow - bee - ah)

A Phobia is an extreme fear in specific situations when there is no real danger or they are totally out of magnitude. Most of the time, the person realises that his fear is irrational meaning it isn’t logical or reasonable so the individual  conquers its’ phobia.

There are a number of explanations about how phobias develop. Some phobias result from frightening experiences. For example, you could’ve had an air disaster and you could get a phobia of flying. If a phobia develops to an individual the individual will try to avoid the feared situation. 

Well this the end I hoped you learnt something about Phobias and probably got more advise on how to conquer your phobia, that's it for me peace out, Gabby ;)
