Fear of The Unknown
Phobia Will Cripple Your
Business and Keep You
Broke
Fear of The Unknown Phobia                 what I had the best is called
Will Cripple Your Business and             “Agoraphobia”.
Keep You Broke                             Agoraphobia is the fear of being in an
                                           unfamiliar environment and having

                                           anxiety attacks when he or she
                                           perceives

                                           that they have little control over the

                                           situation.
                                           Agoraphobia          is     sometimes
                                           compounded
                                           by a fear of social embarrassment that
                                           can

                                           cause panic attacks.
                                           Lock arms with me and defeat this fear.

I have no proof but I think my fear of
the
unknown phobia might have started
here.
The Speech
I think I was in middle school when

happened, but everyone in the school
had                                    I had this thing memorized forwards

                                      I step up to the podium and look out
 to be as long as 10 ft.              over

                                       out. I forgot the whole speech.
                                       I was so embarrassed that I never
                                       wanted to
                                       do anything like that ever again.

Our play was something about a

My part in the play was to walk on

hear the gunfire and fall down and die.
That was it.
