There is no person in the world who would not be afraid of anything, but sometimes fear turns into an obsession. In this case, people understand that their fears have no reason, they are baseless. That's just to cope with them on their own does not work.
Life changes, and new phobias appear. As early as XVII, gadephobia (fear of hell) or staurophobia (fear of crosses) was widespread. A modern person would rather laugh at such a problem, but he has no less. We present to your attention the rating of new fears and phobias that appeared in the XXI century.

The main fear of humanity is to remain without communication. Mobile phone is highly addictive. Nomophobe does not part with him, even if he goes to the toilet or bathroom.

Otherwise, he will need the help of a specialist.
