RE: Does A Bear Falling From a Tree Develop a Phobia? A Collage for LMAC #105

Un collage divertido, dinámico y lleno de vida. Me encanta el oso. Y, como siempre, lleno de información muy interesante. Conocí una vez a una profesora que no podía ver una serpiente ni siquiera en fotografías. Realmente la pasaba mal.
Una cosa curiosa de las fobias es que hay fobias que son supercuriosas, como la Hexakosioihexekontahexafobia, la cual, por Dios, sí que tiene un nombre imposible.

Thank you for your visit and your kind words. I never heard of that phobia before, but I can understand it. Deep-seated roots in the culture. Besides the genetic link, what is the origin of our fears? Fascinating subject.
Hope you are well and not too busy.
Take care, my friend @adncabrera
I didn't know about this phobia either, until very recently, and what impresses me the most is the name.
I've thought a lot about fear. As you may know, my stories tend to focus there. I think anyone who fantasizes about scary stories has to engage with it. You can't play with fire without getting burned, even a little bit.
My present fears are more sophisticated elaborations (perhaps) of my childhood fears. I fear the dark depths, just as I used to fear the dark universe under my bed.... They are a source of creatures, of possibilities of you being trapped and left wandering blindly in an infinite womb, absolutely alone.
And maybe if I look at it a little better, this fear is a childish fear of abandonment (maybe).
Now, a fear is a fear. It grows with us and eventually we can rationalize it or sublimate it (which is what I do with fiction), however, phobias seem more complicated, because of the genetic component involved, if I understood your article correctly.
A Big hug, muy dear @agmoore
