There's nothing worse than being afraid of something or someone. Fear is an emotions that can stop you from living to your full potential, ad it can even cripple your if you let it. Facing one's fears can be really terrifying, but not facing it can be potentially worse. It's normal to avoid the things we find scary, but that does not mean that it's the best thing to do. When people avoid certain fears of theirs, they tend to just compound the problem and make it worse- sometimes to the extent that it ruins their lives.
There are two popular treatments for phobias, and they are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy. There isn't any good factual evidence that hypnotherapy will work, but CBT however is really good in treating both specific and social phobias. With this treatment, people are gradually exposed to their fears, beginning with their least feared situation. It can be used to correct dysfunctional thoughts about fear of failure, humiliation or embarrassment.
