Phobias

Franklin D Roosevelt at his first inaugural speech. "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!" Speaking of the depression and the prospect of turning the U.S. economy around.

Actually Francis Bacon said it about 400 years ago in his essay on Tribute. He was talking about fortune and change of fortune and how a man with fortitude will not be shaken. Whereas a person who is fearful will suffer much by these changes. He referred to fear as the inner enemy and said "Nothing is to be feared but fear itself. Nothing grievous but to yield to grief" FDR probably learned this in grammar school

In all reality you are both correct. While Francis Bacon did say this quote, so did Franklin D. Roosevelt. While the quote was quoted from Francis Bacon by Franklin Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt did say it in his inaugural speech so technically, both of you are correct!

i have the answer to apex simplified

Confidence was needed to overcome the Depression.

Although many people have no issues with gay or bisexual people, this is not always the case.

People hate or dislike gays, lesbians, and bisexuals and/or gayness for a variety of reasons; some of these may be:

• They are uncomfortable with or afraid of people who are different than them, whether they are gay, straight or bisexual.
• They are gay themselves and trying to disguise their sexuality by being loudly anti-homosexual.
• They are trying to affirm their (hetero)sexuality to those around them.
• They believe that their religion prohibits homosexuality and/or that it is wrong for moral reasons.

Often those with prejudices got them from their parents or have absorbed them from their local environment (culture, neighborhood, circle of friends). Some of these just don't know any better. We must also make a distinction between a dislike of gayness and a dislike of gay people. You can hate cigarettes and tobacco use, for instance, without hating people who smoke, and thus the same principle applies here

Quite lieterally, the distrust of anyone or anything that is different is normal animal behavior. People refer to it as stranger danger, and as such it becomes quite acceptable. It is when that difference is identified that it becomes "wrong" or "right." The big problem here is that "wrong" and "right" are measurements from a moral ruler, and no two moral rulers are exactly the same.

While it is perfectly acceptable and justifiable to determin that a course of behavior is not acceptable for the individual as determined by that individual (homosexuality and homophobia in this instance), any outward expression or pressing of that determination onto others is not acceptable.

How do you conquer socil phobia?

Exposure therapy.

Force yourself into social situations , this means that you will have to face your fears full on.

You will go into overdrive you will start panicking, your mouth will turn dry hands clammy you will struggle to breathe and relentless paranoia that people are staring\mocking\focusing on you will attack you all at once.

But then,this storm will recede,and you will regain your breath and start to calm down,kind of like after an adrenaline rush.

Keep forcing yourself into social situations again and again,eventually you will see how irrational your fear is,and episodes like the one described above will become less intense,and then stop happening altogether. You will start seeing that there is no real threat,and thus you will overcome this "Social Phobia".
I would also like to add that you should start off SMALL,just little things,and then move on to the bigger ones.
And you could ask someone to accompany you first - but you MUST NOT LET YOURSELF BECOME ATTACHED! You will have to retain your independence to complete this challenge.

Also what helps is to take stoic or logical approaches to situations like these.

Only use medication as the utmost LAST option.
Social Phobia can be a result of some other mental illness,which sometimes are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you think this is the case go to a Doctor,but ask if you can be treated with therapies first instead of jumping for medication,trust me.

Also:
This is not to be taken as professional advice i am no doctor,and this is not a professional opinion!You should go see a doctor for some real help.

Muso- or Muro- phobia~

Fear of mice and rats is one of the most common specific phobias. It is sometimes referred to asmusophobia (from Latin mus for "mouse") or murophobia (a coinage from the taxonomic adjective "murine" for the Muridae

I believe this is a mixture of 2 phobias, as opposed to a specific phobia, my opinion is that it is Claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces) and Demophobia(fear of crowds/mobs).

I get this sort of thing when around people...it's as if they're in my bubble and I haven't consciously allowed them in, i.e. if they hug me as opposed to me hugging them - but I usually have bigger anxieties when it's toward my face. I get short of breath, and sometimes get hot flushes/perspiration (especially in places like Supermarkets and Shopping Centres [Malls]).

As for tackling this sort of phobia/anxiety, I would go to a Doctor/GP and ask for a referral to the relevent specialist.

Hope this helps.

A person who is afraid of the dark has a phobia called nyctophobia...

So a person with nyctophobia would be called a nyctophobic.

Most all children have some degree of nyctophobia which they eventually grow out of,however 1 in 25 children will carry the phobia in to adult life.
