List of Most Weird Phobias People Have: Fear, many say, is something that humans developed with time. Basically, most people believe that children- if not completely- are hardly aware of any fears. All in all, the theory sits pretty close to humans being open to trying all kinds of things at a much younger age, in comparison to the age after which they develop a certain level of understanding of their surroundings. However, no matter how fearsome one can be at the time of their birth, the most basic fears like the fear of height, deep water, enclosed room, or any other kind of danger, are eventually bound to kick in.
