The Phobia Post: Fear of Wide Open Spaces

5

A wonder, how something so beautiful can strike terror into the hearts of some.

Landscapes, seascapes, and other similar locations give a sense of freedom to those who stand before it, a relief to world-weary city denizens, an escape from the urban hustle and bustle. On the other end of the spectrum, however, are those who feel inexplicable fear at the mere thought of it. This is agoraphobia, the fear of wide, open spaces.

    The 'agora' part of the word means market. I always thought agoraphobia was the fear of crowded spaces...
