The unknown or sometimes the known can cause fears and phobias... think what would happen if you fell into a snake pit? Most likely you would be afraid of snakes from then on... :o(

Unpleasant or undesired outcome of an event may cause fear.
Unknown causes fear.
Creepy feeling or slimy feeling of insects/lizards/cockroaches etc. may cause fear.
Fears appear when we are not prepared to face the reality/truth.

Fear? What's that?

"There are three basic causes of fear. These are: the possibility of harm, the possibility of frustration (the failure to achieve), and the possibility of not surviving."

Fear of the unknown. Things that are alien in nature.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
