When we are born, we are afraid of only two things: falling and big bangs. Everything else we pick up along the way. Usually they are developed after a traumatic experience at a young age. Sometimes they are things we have been up with, for me, snakes. I have never really liked them and probably never will. Some we can live with. I don't tend to encounter snakes on a daily basis. Others, however, control people's lives. Androphobia, fear of men, would pose a few problems. I think they are different to phobias. They're more general, like loss or the future. Phobia's are specific and yet not unique. Anyone that says they fear nothing is a liar. Because even if they have no phobias, they will always be afraid of falling and big bangs.
