What Exactly Is A Phobia?

 Over the past decade, I've seen a lot of uses of the word phobia, and I've reached the point of realizing these people for the most part....don't grasp the word/meaning.

When you (yourself) have a phobia....it means you have a irrational 'FEAR' (not hatred) of something.  It might be of spiders, high places, darkness, or police.  

If you have a phobia....then it means that it's treatable by some medical staff.  

If you encounter someone with a hatred for something, and they sit there to explain it in details....with logic, then you can't reshape this to say it's irrational.  If you did....you'd only be faking yourself out.

So all this phobia-phobia?  BS?  Yeah.  It's mostly appearing to be irrational fear of irrational fear.  

The sad thing is....you can't really explain this to people because their rationality has been compromised to such degree.....they'd argue there is a phobia over people who they see on the street....wearing shoes of an Italian brand-name....over an American brand-name.
