PHOBIA?

Pernah dengar kan pasal fobia? Kalau bahasa kampungnya, takut yang melampau. Fobia ni maksudnya ketakutan yang keterlaluan dan tidak rasional terhadap sesuatu keadaan atau objek. Ia disebabkan rasa bimbang yang berlebihan dan menyebabkan gangguan emosi. 

Fobia ni sama ke dengan rasa takut? Menurut pakar, TAK SAMA. Terdapat perbezaan ketara antara keduanya. Perbezaan utama terletak pada intensiti dan tahap emosi yang dialami dalam ketakutan dan fobia.
Contohnya, kalau kita keluar jalan-jalan, tiba-tiba ada orang kurang siuman datang. Dia cederakan kita, takutkan kita. Waktu tu kita memanglah rasa takut, terkejut dan sebagainya. Tapi rasa takut tu akan hilang juga nanti. Bagi orang yang fobia, rasa takut tu berulang-ulang. Rasa macam semua orang dia takut. Kalau dia lawan rasa tu, dia akan rasa lebih bimbang dan keletihan. 

Dekat dunia ni, bermacam-macam jenis fobia ada. Kalau nak senaraikan semua, memang berjelalah entri ni jawabnya. Lepas tu tak ada siapa nak baca panjang-panjang tu. Heee. Jadi, aku senaraikan beberapa fobia yang aku rasa menarik.
