Hi. I am afraid of confrontation. I want to overcome my fear because it controls me. I dont know how to do so, because I can't confront my fear, because that is what I am afraid of. When ever I am faced with confrontation, usually with a person who has more authority over me, I panic. My heart rate speeds up and I breath really heavily at first, and then just faster and faster. A bunch of thoughs that scare me race through my head and then I can either slow down and take deap breaths or I break out in tears, depending on how bad it was.
Don't tell me to "go to a doctor" I wont, because I cant tell anyone that they need to take me, because I am afraid of what they might say.
Its not a chronic problem either, the whole heart racing things only happen about once or twice a month, but I avoid confrontation, all the time.
