RE: Let’s talk about having a permanent fear of everything
I wonder if there really is something as an irrational fear. It can be irrational in the sense that you wont get killed by an spider, but I think it's a mistake to not be mindful of that fear has it's own logic. A fear of everything can for example be a trauma connected to fear itself, so all pantophobia does is defend you from that trauma-complex
Having a phobia is not the best defense since it could make it more complicate to have a normal life.
Irrational because the intensity of fear doesn't correlate with the danger of the situation.
Yeah I know, phobia sucks. But it has it's own logic, it correlates more to what that particular thing represent then the actual situation. But I guess it doesn't matter because the same treatment is derived: gradual exposure, gradual exposure, gradual exposure
