How Does One Deals With Strange Phobias? by Nobody: 3:59pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
True Story A guy once complained that his mother was very reserved and she did not like to go outside, which made her feel lonely and depressed. The guy questioned his mother constantly about why she hated going outside, but she did not give him an answer. Then one day the guy said he was going to rent a new apartment for his mother, maybe the change of environment would encourage her to go outside. But, his mother discouraged him from making such a decision, she said her problem was not external, but rather internal. Apparently the woman was very short. She confessed to her son that she had a very embarassing phobia, the son told her to spill the beans, that he would always support her no matter what. She told him, "I have a phobia for extremely tall people, anytime i go outside and see a very tall man, i am afraid that he would lick the top of my head." The son was shocked and quite amused at his mother's confession, and he sought help from his trusted friend. If you were said trusted friend, how would you advice the woman to let go of her phobia of extremely tall men? |

Phobias are real o....people behave quite irrationally when confronting their phobias. She should start wearing caps outside and walk in company of people to overcome the fear. I have a phobia for enclosed windowless spaces like tunnels, bank strong rooms, large airless pantries, etc. I have tried with the bank strong rooms small but wont be caught dead in a tunnel. It makes my heart run fast, faint and scare the sheet out of me. I used to fear heights but I'm not sure I'm so afraid anymore. I was afraid of air travels, escalators and elevators. But elevators got cured when my first job was on the 7th floor, got no choice. Air travels and escalators got cured not too long ago when I had to take them by force by fire. Back in the days, I spent 2 days on the road because I was afraid to do the 3hrs local air travel. It turned out very exhausting and expensive as I had to spend one night in a hotel in Abuja before continuing the next day. May God not let me suffer myself like that ever again. |
