My Phobia Homework
There isn't too much that I'm really afraid of, but one thing does come to mind that I really dislike. I very much dislike driving through the mountains. We have 2 canyons around our home that I have traveled and I hate the idea that the roads are so narrow, very curvy, and you're able to look down the side of the mountain into a never ending hole and there aren't any guard rails to prevent you from going over the side. I feel very vulnerable because if there is someone coming around the next curve, on your side, there isn't anywhere to go except over the cliff or into an accident.
What made things worse, was the last time I traveled through the canyon, there were kids on motorcycles riding back and forth, passing cars, going between them and we witnessed several close calls. I think I would be OK if they would just put up the guard rails. I couldn't find a phobia with this particular description :) but there were a few that kind of fit. Acrophobia, the fear of heights, Hodophobia, the fear of road travel and also Bathophobia, the fear of depth. If I stay out of the canyons I can avoid all of these! :)
