I Animate Phobias

I find phobias really interesting - Not that it's pleasant to have a irrational fear to something. But the reason behind them, the stories that made that phobia.

I started animate different phobias and I call it: "The Phobia Collection". Here's the first six ones that I have made so far.

There are so many weird and obscure ones out there, trying to collect 'em all!

"Taphophobia (or Taphephobia) is the irrational fear of being buried alive. It is closely related to other phobias such as: fear of death (Thanatophobia), fear of tombstones (Placophobia), fear of cemeteries (coimetrophobia), fear of tight and enclosed spaces (Claustrophobia) etc."

"Arachnophobia is an intense and unreasonable fear of spiders and other arachnids such as scorpions. Treatment is typically by exposure therapy, where the person is presented with pictures of spiders or the spiders themselves."

"Scopophobia, scoptophobia, or ophthalmophobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by a morbid fear of being seen or stared at by others. The term scopophobia comes from the Greek σκοπέω skopeō, "look to, examine", and φόβος phobos, "fear"."

"The fear of falling (FOF), also referred to as basophobia (or basiphobia), is a natural fear and is typical of most humans and mammals, in varying degrees of extremity. It differs from acrophobia (the fear of heights), although the two fears are closely related. The fear of falling encompasses the anxieties accompanying the sensation and the possibly dangerous effects of falling, as opposed to the heights themselves. Those who have little fear of falling may be said to have a head for heights. Basophobia is sometimes associated with astasia-abasia, the fear of walking/standing erect."

"Nyctophobia is an extreme fear of night or darkness that can cause intense symptoms of anxiety and depression. A fear becomes a phobia when it's excessive, irrational, or impacts your day-to-day life. Being afraid of the dark often starts in childhood and is viewed as a normal part of development."

"Coulrophobia is a persistent fear of clowns, where individuals may feel “shaken or traumatised” at the thought of them. Currently the term is not listed in the World Health Organisation's ICD-10 or in the American Psychiatric Association's categorisation of disorders, but it is very real for those who suffer it."
