What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
I have pretty strong fear of people in full body mascot costumes. This includes furry suits too. Not a crippling phobia, but enough to keep me on edge.
That being said, I don’t hate furries. It’s just all suits where I can’t see person’s face freak me out.
Is that also the case for full body armor and other fictional or real types of costumes where you can’t see the face? Or does it have to have a ‘fake’ face like mascot costumes? Just curious
