Phobia is characterized by an overwhelming fear of special situations such as wide open spaces or closed ones, animals, dark, flying, or even public speaking. Most people have relatively inconsequential fears of this type but in some, these fears become so overwhelming that they interfere with normal life and behavior.
Fear may be attached to objects that are often harmless in themselves but which subconsciously represent feelings that are the true source of the problem. The person, to keep her subconscious feelings from coming into the conscious, may displace or project his fear onto the outside world as a phobia. Thus, being alone or in a high spot may represent abandonment to the sufferer, and the person can hide the connection between the subconscious feelings and the phobia. In effect, the phobic person seeks to blame the world instead of his inner problem for his phobia.
I clearly have a Phobia. And hopefully with the continued guidance from Luann and others I will get to the bottom of my subconscious feelings and get rid of this phobia.
