I developed fears a few years ago that I didn't have before like the fear of flying and sleeping alone. I used to fly all the time & sleep alone and it didn't scare me until now. What's the problem?

Dr. Georges Karam Psychiatry
You are developing an anxiety or specific phobia. It can happen to a person after an incident or it may be unrelated to anything and it just develops on its own. Being 24, this is the average time at which people become anxious. In case it is interfering with your life, the treatment of specific phobias is psychological (with a psychologist). Good luck.
