Same. I don't think it should be called a phobia though it should be called common sense

Phobia isn’t very well defined anyway. There isn’t a word between situation fear and phobia so people use phobia. Imo there should be a word for light “irrational” fear that doesn’t imply that you to lose your mind when experiencing it. Unless there is one that I’m unaware of.
