Is it normal to be scared of mice?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to be scared of mice. They move quickly and unpredictably, and plenty of people find them unsettling even if they know they’re usually more afraid of you.

Mice can trigger a strong startle response: they’re small, fast, and tend to appear when you aren’t expecting them. You don’t need to have a dramatic reason for finding them scary, and you’re far from alone.

Some people think mice are cute; others would prefer not to share a room with one. If the fear is so intense that it regularly keeps you from doing things you want to do, it may be worth looking for ways to make it easier to manage—but being scared of mice by itself is totally normal.
