In My Conclusion:
According to John Lock on his theory called "Tabula Raasa " that individuals are born with a blank slate mind, therefore all knowledge comes experience. I believe in this theory, through experience and observation around us, we learn and gain knowledge. Our mind is a powerful tool of human being, it can also make impossible things possible. Speaking of this, every individual has their different experiences in life. It can be good and extremely bad.A phobia can develop during childhood . We cannot judge or laugh those people whose dealing with phobia. They need someone to understand and help them conquer the fear created in their mind because of traumatic experience that cause them to have Phobia. It is kind of serious Mental Illness. People with phobias usually protecting themselves to such things that causes them fear, depression and anxiety. If your struggling with this symptoms, then get some treatment, consult psychologist or mental health specialist.
A phobia might be a common phobia or extreme phobia.
I had Acrophobia ( phobia of heights is very common) but i was able to face my fear with the help of my friends and family. How did i get this phobia? During my childhood, i fell from the stair and got serious injured. Since then, I became stress every time I climb a few steps up a ladder. Its not easy actually,it limits my zone and had impact on my daily activities , i felt that i'm not normal like other people. I don't like the feeling of being indifferent . Way back year 2009, i was encouraged to ride on a Ferris wheel ( it was just a dare challenge ), I just closed my eyes when i reached the top and i almost hear my racing heartbeat, sweating and praying not to fall . The result? nothing dangerous happened to me. I let myself going up on the stair step by step while doing breathing technique. Finally, it lessen my fear on height ( it takes time , motivation and courage). Last year i went to a hike with my friend, i feel freed from the chain holding my feet to fly. It cannot be treated if your mind is refusing so.
FACE YOUR FEAR!!! Always include our GOD in every plan we do.
