Earth's opinion about a phobia, a fear ,and healthy fears
In my opinion, the difference between a phobia and a normal fear is the feedback when we cope with fear. When we cope with the phobia, sometimes we cannot control ourselves. However, we can deal with normal fear. We can avoid or control ourselves when we face with this. As for healthy fears, I think this is the positive feedback of the fears. This positive feedback will make us more concern about our health.

I like Earth's idea that with a phobia we "sometimes we cannot control ourselves". That's how I used to feel about frogs. I couldn't control how my body reacted. Even though I knew they were harmless, I couldn't go near them.
ReplyDeleteI was also afraid of the big bull we had, but that was healthy, because the bull was dangerous animal if he was in a bad mood, especially if he was worried about his wives or children. I just kept an eye on him when I walked through the paddock, but I didn't sweat or feel the way I did in front of a harmless frog.
