The most common phobia in Romania is trypophobia, with an average search volume of 5,100 searches a month. Whether it’s pancakes, sponges or honeycomb, people with this phobia fear small holes, particularly when they appear in clusters.

With most people spending more time inside over the last couple of years, is it possible that there is now more anxiety surrounding going outdoors? This theory could be plausible, as agoraphobia is Romania’s second most common phobia, with 1,400 monthly searches on average.

Claustrophobia, or fear of confined spaces, ranks in third place with 500 searches on average.

The most common phobias in Europe

Echoing Romania, trypophobia (fear of holes) is also Europe’s biggest phobia, with 2,991 average searches per month.

Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces) again ranks in close second place, with an average search volume of 2,810. From anxiety about crowded spaces to a fear of public transport, people who suffer with this phobia struggle facing situations without an opportunity to escape quickly.

In third place, arachnophobia, or fear of spiders, has 877 searches per month on average.

Hemophobia, or fear of blood, comes in last place, with an average of 103 searches per month. While most people dislike blood and medical procedures, people who suffer from hemophobia have an extreme fear that may prevent them from avoiding injections and other types of medical care altogether.
