Do you have any Phobia's?, below is a short list of very common
Phobias some Cachers suffer from, especially #1.
This little journey in the Dark will stir up some of these fears
along the way, now is your chance to overcome those Fears, AKA
Phobias!
#1)ICONOPHOBIA - The fear of any icon for a cache type
other than Traditional, ie: mystery, Multi, letterbox, cachers
shutter at the thought of trying anything that may take more
effort, or skills to solve a simple instruction, they ignore these
cache types, as the fear is just to much to handle, easily cured
with a little guidance.
#2)Achluophobia- Fear of darkness.
The fear of the dark is a common fear among children and to a
varying degree is observed for adults. Fear of the dark is usually
not fear of the darkness itself, but fear of possible or imagined
dangers concealed by the darkness. Some degree of fear of the dark
is natural, When fear of the dark reaches a degree that is severe
enough to be considered pathological, it is sometimes called
nyctophobia.
Some researchers, beginning with Sigmund Freud, consider the fear
of the dark as a manifestation of separation anxiety
disorder.
#3) Aeroacrophobia- Fear of open high places
It is different from aerophobia, or fear of flying, as well as
other similar specific phobias, because this fear is more
generalized. Depending on the phobia's severity, an acrophobic
person may equally fear being on a high floor of a building,
climbing a ladder and any other activity that involves being at
height. Emotionally and physically, the response to acrophobia is
similar to the response to any other phobia. You may begin to
shake, sweat, experience heart palpitations and even cry or yell
out. You may feel terrified and paralyzed. It might become
difficult to think.
#4) Arachnophobia - the fear of spiders and other
arachnids.
The reactions of arachnophobics often seem irrational to others
(and sometimes to the sufferers themselves). People with
arachnophobia tend to feel uneasy in any area they believe could
harbor spiders or that has visible signs of their presence, such as
webs. If arachnophobics see a spider they may not enter the general
vicinity until they have overcome the panic attack that is often
associated with their phobia. In some extreme cases, even a picture
or a realistic drawing of a spider can also trigger fear.
Arachnophobics may feel humiliated if such episodes occur in a
social setting.
