frm childhood i was taught not to go near dogs and touch them.nw its grown as obsessiveness.?

Question

wen i see dogs i feel they ve touch me..even if i see a shadow of something else i think its a
dog and feel a sort of restlessness in my mind.wen i see something passing by which i may not be noticing that seriously, later i think it as a dog.i cant even go out for walks with this thought that i might see a dog.

Answer 1

sounds perhaps like a phobia.. fears apparently can be learned, and your guardians telling you not to go near dogs might have spurned a full blown fear of dogs in you
