Phobophobia 2023: where the fear of being afraid of something isn't just a phobia, it's a lifestyle. We're not just talking about irrational fears here, we're talking about the fear of being afraid of your fear itself. It's like, have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, paralyzed with fear, wondering what's going on, only to realize you're not even sure what you're afraid of? Yeah, that's phobophobia. And it's not just a joke, folks, it's a serious condition. (Just kidding, it's totally not serious. Or is it?)
We're working on a comprehensive guide to help you deal with phobophobia, but in the meantime, here's some advice: Consult a therapist who specializes in irrational fears. Join a support group of fellow phobophobes. And for goodness' sake, try not to worry about it too much.
But seriously, if you're experiencing any symptoms of phobophobia, please seek help. We're not medical professionals, we're just people who are slightly afraid of being afraid.
