Legitimate fears are for when there is a reasonable chance that you could be harmed/killed.
Statistically the chance of a plane crashing due to mechanical failure/pilot error is still very small; which is why it is illogical to be so frightened of it.
Jumping from a plane without a parachute is locigally very frightening. Sure one or two people have survived in the past but the majority of people die.
Some fears that people have ARE illogical. House spiders can't kill you or even harm you in any significant way, so why are some people so afraid of them.
That isnt true , a black widow can , a wolf spider can , a brown recluse can aswell . I looked all these up by the way my odd hobbys is looking up all the things that could become a hazard to your health but poeple tend to generelize all fears like somthing that can cuase harm as irrationiol and it is very irritating that even poeple in the proffesioniol feailg will label such things as illogicol becuase it is just Wrong , fact is fact also an irritant poeple who mix up fact and opionion are really annoying aswell .
Okay I'll give you that one about the spiders. I just looked up wolf spider and brown recluse and those could be mistaken for common house spiders. (Maybe it's also because I live in Britain and theres hardly any dangerous spiders here).
But I still think that some fears are illogical. What about fear of small spaces. Kneeling down in a small enclosed space won't hurt or kill me. Some people still fear it.
