Scelerophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of bad men or burglars. This is a rational fear
that is taken to an extreme because of a traumatizing experience. An intense movie involving bad men or
burglars is enough to trigger this phobia if the person is traumatized by the
movie. It may sound strange, but I’ve
been traumatized by a movie before and it took months for me to get what
happened in the movie out of my head.
Sometimes this fear never goes away.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.

story. How was it triggered and how does
