A type of anxiety or apprehension felt towards a situation or decision because it is commonly perceived as difficult, overwhelming, or universally feared, rather than based on personal experience. It’s the fear of facing something simply because it has been widely described as daunting, often amplified by societal expectations or common narratives.
I really want to move away for university, but the textbook fear of being on my own keeps holding me back.

Get the That’s textbookmug. Textbook preaching occurs when a teacher (usually a supply/cover teacher who is relatively inexperienced) teaches pupils by relying solely on the contents of whichever textbook relates to her current lesson (e.g. a teacher covering in Chemistry reading verbatim from a chemistry textbook)
More often than not, this method does absolutely nothing to help students learn, other than reinforcing already-negative attitudes about supply teachers and forcing pupils to seek out their own means of learning.
The only exceptions include teachers assigning tasks from the textbook or simply asking students to read extracts.

Pupil 1: Can you believe that? The supply teacher isn't even bothering, is she?
Pupil 2: How so?
Pupil 1: She's reading the contents of the textbook word-for-word! Classic case of textbook preaching.
Pupil 2: True that.
