Answer:

Long story short; fears are natural and normal, phobias are unnatural and can cause extreme anxiety when met with said said phobia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fear is a natural emotion that protects people from harm when they face real and imminent danger. A phobia is an excessive fear or anxiety related to specific objects or situations that are out of proportion to the actual danger they present.
