A new association probia brought on by spending massive amounts of time with a extremely fast web connection. Searching for photos of
people you
may know or want to connect with.
This phobia starts when you turn off your computer and go outside to find that EVERY person you see, you KNOW you have seen them online.
If it gets severe you
may say "I just saw you on the interent, I know its you. But where? What website are you on? Myspace? Facebook? YA? Flickr?
Youtube? Photobucket?....ect...." to everyone, then you jump into bushes to hide from everyone.
Switching to "dial-up" helps.
As seeing "website found.....waiting for reply" can be key
words to possibly over come this phobia.
My
therapist said my ASSOCIATEDCYBERPHOBIA is so severe cause I said his receptionist is on Match.com and Eharmony but with a squished
bug for a photo I do not think she will score!"
I should have a
72 Mental Health Evaluation, he claims!
