Don't ever laugh or devalue people who have "weird" phobias! For you, their phobias may seem harmless and stupid, and for people with these phobias, because of your ridicule and depreciation, they may start feel uncomfortable about this, and may even stop sharing their worries with you!

Everyone has at least 1-2 phobias. My Main characters for my YouTube series The Powerless Hero have their own phobias. Some of these have to do with it's lore and some is for plot purposes. But that doesn't mean these phobias are not real. Phobias are caused by traumatic events that lead to having a constant fear of an object or occurrence. What is your phobia??
I've got really bad glossophobia & it really embarassed me today by coming out of nowhere when i was trying to ask someone at work something?? Like we went into what we thought was an empty room to talk but it turned out there was someone else in there, which was fine, i didn't mind her hearing. But then bam. Shaking hands, stumbling over words?? Like this is not a situation that warrants this reaction??! So i get embarrassed, which makes it worse, naturally. And it just made the whole situation really awkward & made what i was trying to say seem really serious when it wasn't supposed to be. And it's been hours but I'm still so annoyed & upset about it. Like I'm mad about it but I'm not mad at myself, it came out of nowhere not my fault, so i guess I'm mad at the situation for happening? I'm embarrassed and angry and upset but there's nothing to be upset at. My brain just randomly made the connection between someone else just sitting there & other situations that really stress me out like presentations and interviews. There's no solution to this. I embarrassed myself. It's already happened. It's so frustrating.
