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 a really bad phobia of zombies. Like, I cried uncontrollably when I tried to watch Zombieland. Other forms of undead, like vampires and mummies, and liches are totally fine though and don’t scare me. It’s just zombies.
Interesting! Do you also experience fear if you see a static corpse? For example like in a medical or police show?
