Textbook fear

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.

Textbook

Used to describe an asshole who may or may NOT fit any textbook definition. It's origins are from a textbook case of a sociopath but it's usage became much broader over time. As long as two people can decide what it means, it works.

reading a textbook

An activity that extremely mentally accelerated individuals do not choose to partake in from the perceived notion that it is a waste of time for their intellectual pursuits; for others this also means running their head into a brick wall and trying to find things to highlight that could possibly be meaningful for future reference when in reality it only devalues the book's resale value.
