Fear is a pattern and healthy part of life. Fear plays an significant role in preventing us from harmful situations and serving us in deciding when to get out of situations which are not inevitably the best.
On the other hand when you've a phobia, you are likely to build up a fear of fear itself. You may start out to worry that something will occur to trigger your fear. You may start to alter your daily routine in an attempt to obviate any possible triggers. Whenever you see that you have an upcoming face-off with the object of your fear, you will likely dwell on it, maybe compulsively. You may have difficulty in sleeping or focusing on important tasks, especially as the day of confrontation gets closer.
