What are some of the clinical causes of fear of children, and how abnormal is it?
For example, I am extremely fearful of children -- to the point of avoiding them entirely. I cannot be around them. I experience horrible fear, panic and anxiety in their presence. And sometimes when I am in a crowd (of anyone, people, etc.), I avoid everyone and curse out of frustration. I am overwhelmed by too many people (I was born three months premature and spent considerable time in an incubator, as well as six weeks on oxygen).
I have strong claustraphobia as well.
But why a fear of children? They are not incubators, nurses or other things I (vaguely) recall from after birth. The only thing that I can pinpoint is their energy levels (not just hyperactivity, but actual spiritual energy levels, like ghosts).
