Just as Jim had never been hurt or directly frightened by a dentist, many people develop their fears through a variety of indirect processes including stories and even direct instruction, which often includes large doses of exaggeration and misinformation. Direct instruction has long been one means of imparting information to children. Children are enjoined to stay out of the street, to avoid strangers, and not to play with fire. These, of course, are natural hazards to children who must at the very least learn respect for them, if not fear them.
They come to fear being in public places and/or being out alone. One of the things they fear most is having a panic attack while outside. Many agoraphobics also have panic disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Obsessions are persistent and repetitive thoughts that seem to intrude themselves into a person's consciousness. Obsessive thoughts can be so intrusive that some people are unable to think of much else. Compulsions are repetitive acts or rituals that are enacted over and over. If prevented from enacting the ritual, the person becomes exceedingly anxious.
