Are you afraid of spiders? Then you're in good company. Fear of spiders is very common. In fact, some people are so afraid of spiders that they can't even go near one. If they see one, they might actually faint! A strong fear like that is called a phobia. Arachnophobia is a fear a spiders and other arachnids. Some more phobias are:
Claustrophobia: Fear of enclosed spaces. Claustrophobics become nervous when they are in a small space or a space with no easy way to get out.
Acrophobia: Fear of heights. People with this phobia usually don't like being on roller coasters or in skyscrapers.
Agoraphobia: Fear of open spaces and public places. People with agoraphobia don't like new environments or situations where they don't feel like they have control. Many of them like to stay in their rooms, like hikikomori.
