1. In your opinion, how is a phobia different from a normal fear? What might be some “healthy fears”?
- A phobia is keep going fear or always fear or repeat fear about something, someplace, but a normal fear is temporary fear. For example, I have a claustrophobia(enclosed space). When I go to the small room without window, I always feel fear. On the other hand, when I see a horror movie, I feel fear. It is just temporary fear. I think healthy fear is not effect ordinary life. Almost people have a phobia, but they can ordinary life.
3. Do you know anyone who is phobic? How does this phobia affect her or his life?
- My friend is acrophobia. When we go to the mountain together, she doesn’t look down.
4. Do you know of any famous people who suffered from a psychological disorder? If so, who were they? Do you know what disorder they had?- The famous actress in Korea has major depression. She killed herself. Maybe, she feel her outside is gorgeous, but inside is empty

i heard the news many times about the famous actress in Korea killed themself. i agree with you that they are major depression. they have a lot of works and they are serious. they collect stress alway. these make them worry all times until they become major depression. i feel sad when i heard the news because some actress is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as well. In the beginning, I was wondering why so many South Korean movie stars and singers commit suicide. However, recently, I read from a newspaper which said that the internet use rate in South Korea is among the highest in the world. So, when there is a gossip about that star or singer, he or she receives a lot of negative information about themselves which stresses them so much that they commit suicide. I wonder why the internet is so influential to people.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the normal fear is just temporary fear and not effect on ordinary life, but I am not sure this “Almost people have a phobia”. Could you please clarify this statement? My understanding is that phobia is a severe anxiety, which this is not seen in general people. Just my wonder, are most people who killed themselves mostly have major depression or others like panic, phobia, schizophynia, ....
