What are phobias? Why do we get them? I mean we are scared of something aren’t we, at some point in life. Phobias develop over time through fear and which in turn make you scared. That’s pretty obvious right but why is the question I ask why? why? why? After some deep research and hours of reading, it was finally clear, the words of psychologists and scientists finally made sense. They said that phobias occur from the time you were young, it is an act or moment when one thinks something is life threatening. Meaning people who are scared of heights are not actually scared of heights, they’re scared of falling; or people afraid of the dark they’re actually afraid of what’s lurking in the dark. Why do you think when you were a kid you were afraid of adults and not now.... it’s clearly because they are a lot bigger. In actual fact phobias and fears more scary in your mind than in reality, you cause your own heart rate to pick up and sometimes you need to overcome those very fears that are keeping you from being you. So what im saying don’t face your fears or break you phobia go through them and ask yourself if its really worth the fuss. Hey the worst would be you could die or get sick , besides at some point each person is going to get sick or die and whats in that corner is the bag you let there yesterday so dont let your fear control you, you control your fear.
