From being afraid of spiders, balloons, doctors and clowns to being a Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia or an Anatidaephobia, we compare what people are scared off and the odds you watching may be frightened by them.

Disclaimer:
No official scientific sources exists for frequency of phobias. Probability videos on phobias that exists do not provide any sources. Therefore, cannot be used.
This video is a survey conducted by the YouTube Channel Reigarw Comparisons from 7 to 10 March 2020.

The data is collected from over 13494 comment responses, processed, categorized and group together by data and text analytics.
This is done based on the frequency of words, and connecting words. Verbs, adjectives and other common words such as "You" are excluded. Words with a frequency of less than 0.1% (19 responses) are excluded unfortunately. Words such as "lol, lmao etc" are also excluded.
The associated phobia may or may not represent the actual fear present.
Several words such as "Deep, Sea, Thalassophobia, Ocean etc" are grouped as "fear of the depth". and "Social, Anxiety, Embarassment, Crowd, Shame etc" are group as "fear of socializing"
