    Trafalger square in london.
    Being made to go there is one of my worst fears, coz of the pigeons.

    or waking up in a coffin, drowning or being buried alive.

    If it interferes with your daily life then it is a phobia.

    That's not strictly the definition of a phobia.

    A phobia has 3 defining characteristics:
    1. Anxiety in particular circumstances
    2. Avoidance of such cirumstances
    3. Anticipatory anxiety when there is the prospect of encountering such circumstances

    You can have a phobia and it not interfere with daily life. Likewise a rational fear is not necessarily a phobia.

    Sounds like ballerina is describing generalised anxiety rather than a specific phobia.
