We all have our fears, and some of them might fall under the category of irrational fears, or phobias. It’s quite common for people to fear certain animals or some other things like the dark or heights. However, some people fear things that are kind of unusual to be scared of in the first place, like the fear of bananas for instance. YES! Bananaphobia is real, so as those 10 other phobias.
