Irrational Fear of Televisions.?

Question

I'm sure this isn't the correct output.
I'm just uncomfortable talking about this with anyone else.

I've been trying to watch television lately but I keep panicking and running out of the room, and then I'll be much too afraid to enter the room because I know then the television is still on.
It's got to the point were I'll send other people into my room to turn off my television. I do see a psychologist for a previously diagnosed condition but I think it's too rediculous to bring up during our meetings. I just can't think of the cause of it. I always want to tell him but I just can't. I know he'll want to ask questions, and I have absolutely no explanation.

He'll ask, "Why are you afraid of Televisions?"

What do you think the cause of it is?

Answer 1

There are all sorts of irrational fears out there (did you see "The Ring" by any chance?). The ironic thing about your fear is that it wouldn't be so bad if you cut out watching tv and spent your time on more constructive things. You should bring it up with your psychologist though. I'm sure he's heard far stranger fears than yours.

Answer 2

The ghosts in the machines silly.
