Is there a difference between fear and phobia? I have a fear of bloody spiders, but have a phobia surrounding anything to do with medical instruments or hospitals. Different emotions

I think there's a difference as fears can help a person react a particular way, based on something tangible like a tornado for instance but phobias are seated more in the irrational thought process. I don't like spiders either!
They don't tend to bother people too much...usually. They love tourists though! 🤣
