Yes, a phobia is just an irrational fear of something. I can think of few things that it's more irrational to be scared of than golf carts.

Phobia isn't where you think things are disgusting, its where you fear something so bad, that you can't stand it. Someone that i know has a phobia of spiders, and one time there was a spider in her car, and she pulled over in the middle of the freeway and climed on top of her car, and rode home in a police car. THAT'S what phobia is.

Because it is a private part of the body, people don't like it.

False Evidence Appearing Real, this is the root of fear. It starts with a thought provoked by a feeling and ending in fear, which can result in panic attacks and so forth. Usually the only thing we are fearful of are blown out of proportioned thoughts and feelings.

Yes, but there is a consequence to face. Anyone can say anything they want (with limits) but it might be harmful to your life. Such as suspension from school, being kicked off a plane, being grounded by your parents, and so much more. I wouldn't allow yourself or your children to swear, but you are the parent in that case.

We become fearful because we sometimes have bad experiences and this is your body's reaction to something that is frightening you.

Fear can do a lot of things to a person. Fear can stop people from moving, cause people to lose control of their bowel, cause people to shake, panic, scream, breathe heavily, breathe uncontrolably, cry, and yes even stop breathing. In some cases, it can cause a person to lose pigment in their skin, make their hair stand, or send eerie chills up one's spine. In the worst cases, it can go as far as causing someone's death.

Most often if you stop breathing from fright, you will pass out and start breathing again .

ALL PHOBIAS are caused by past experiences!

It really isn't a mental illness for someone to be alone, but it could be a phobia or anxiety or just normal. Most people don't like being alone either literally alone or not seeing a lover type alone as in single, so it's normal. A lot of people get scared or have anxiety when being alone, but that doesn't make it a mental illness or disorder.
