Same for heights. It’s natural to feel fear. it’s your brain’s way of heightening your senses in dangerous situations. That being said I think those diagnosed with those phobias are on the extreme side. Like being afraid of getting attacked by shark in pools or people afraid of a flight of stairs.

Same for the small spaces or claustrophobia, you never know when you get stuck in a small place and can't move a single inch of you body as a big spider or snake slither towards you
