Sophophobia: The Fear of Learning


Sophophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of learning.  Those who don’t like to go to school or try to pretend they’re something they’re not may have this phobia.
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.
Do you suffer from Sophophobia?  Please share your story.  How was it triggered and how does it affect your life?

I'm not sure if I have this phobia but I hate learning. As much as possible I want to do away with it. I always become anxious every time I have to attend trainings for skill enhancement. Nice to know what it's called.
