How do I know if I am suffering from a phobia?
assistant
A phobia is an extreme fear or anxiety about a specific object, activity, situation, or person. Common phobias include claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), arachnophobia (fear of spiders), and agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). If you are experiencing feelings of intense fear or anxiety when confronted with the object, activity, situation, or person that you associate with your phobia, then you may be suffering from it.
