Simple phobias: These phobias do include a fear of: heights (acrophobia); enclosed spaces (claustrophobia); flying (pterygophobia); water (hydrophobia); dentists (odontiatophobia); tunnels; bridges; animals -lizards, snakes, rats etc.

Fear of public places (agoraphobia) is the fear of the being alone in a place such as a mall or even in an elevator or a room full of people and one cannot escape from it.
