We all are afraid of something or other but sometimes, some people suffer from extreme fear of something and we call them phobic. There are many kinds of phobia like - Psychological conditions, Non-psychological conditions, Biology, Chemistry and Prejudices and discrimination. Today I am going to tell you about an uncommon phobia called ‘Agyrophobia’.

Agyrophobia or Dromophobia is a type of specific phobia, the irrational fear that crossing streets will cause bodily harm to oneself, even if no actual threat is posed. The fear is suffered due to greater difficulty moving through crowded pedestrian alongside busy streets. Even fear sufferers would still drive cars, but will avoid walking on streets, meaning they will avoid sporting events, political rallies, and shopping where they're often crowded.

This phobia is considered independent from the fear of cars, as even crossing a deserted intersection still initiates the fear reaction.
