i was wondering about phobias and the severity of them. everyone may have a general fear of something like fire or something and instinctively wanting to get away from danger. is that considered a phobia or is a phobia like a great or severe fear of something or can it be not so severe to the point you just don't like it or want to be around it? i have already found a great list so no one has to post any lists. so like when somebody has arachnophobia ( i think i do because i can't stand even being near them and i have to squish them on sight or usually just shoo them out of the house) they have a fear where they want to get away as soon as possible compared to a person who just maybe yelps and thinks they are gross or something. or when somebody has acrophobia (fear of heights) they are like in terror and yelling or get dizzy and want to get down. would all of that be a phobia or is it just when somebody has a really bad fear of somehting?
information about Phobias?
