An exceptionally extreme form of fear. The worst kind of fear a person can have of someone or something. The type of fear that basically can cause a person to flee like mad when someone is nearby, even when the person is harmless, and even there is even nothing and nobody in pursuit, and also causes irrational thinking and a lack of reasoning.
Rabbit fear of guns caused people at the local shopping mall to flee and trample over each other when a child's toy balloons popped when hitting the ceiling.
Guys are avoiding that community completely due to the locals' rabbit fear of strangers.

Racial fear is the irrational fear that Black, Indigenous, and people of color are dangerous. It often shows up as unpredictable and harmful reactions directed at communities of color. Racial fear actually endangers Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

When the white woman on the sidewalk clutched her purse as I walked passed, I knew she was exhibiting racial fear.

Basically, the worst kind of fear a person can possibly have of someone, especially strangers. The pinnacle of all fear. People with rabbit fear get scared and flee for no reason, even when nothing is pursuing them; even the sound of a windblown leaf makes them flee as if fleeing from an armed bandit. They sit alone and away from strangers, or they keep within their clique. When approached by a stranger, people with rabbit fear run away yelling for help, even when in a safe, quiet neighborhood with little to no crime.

Hym "I shouldn't have to ask for this to not be happening to me and I should have to ask you to intervene. You should have done something different here and you're just trying to spin it back it me because you want me to have to do something different here. My life was always on the line here. I wasn't doing the thing you were accusing me of. And I AM BEING SURROUNDED BY A NURSE RACHET HIVEMIND WHO IS DELIBERATELY MAKING ME ILL SO THEY HAVE SOMEONE TO TREAT. Whatever fear I theoretically had when I started this has been entirely displaced by contempt for the people participating in this."
