Fears or Phobias?
How do you know if your fear - of commitment, say - is healthy or not?
Sometimes fear can save you (say, from a doomed marriage); other times, it hampers your life (you develop a phobia about relationships).
I've always been scared of sky diving. I've never tried it, but I know I couldn't step out of a plane! Is this a phobia or a normal fear? Because I don't come across this in my everyday life, it's more difficult to apply the 3 ways to know if you have a phobia scenario.
And I wonder about fear of commitment --- are people (men?) really afraid to commit, or are they just not ready to settle down yet?
