panic

My problem is that I am very fearful, especially of people. why? when I was a little kid my father used to kick me and punish me with out racional reason.
I know thats the beggining of my fears. But everytime I try to analyze that I find impossible to accept it as a cause for my fear. As if the event runed away from me.

Thankx, you are right, it's learned behaviour, I also know that the cognitive behavior therapy is the solution. I am working on it.
Thank you again.

HI
Its learned behaviour stored into your subconscious so your brain picks up on the memory and triggers the anxiety..the only thing to do is change the learned behavior and face your fears...therapist can help you deal with it, but its perfectly normal...uve heard of classical condition...its the same thing thats happening to you..

please forgive the comparison...but if you abuse a dog, it will also fear people. i do not at all mean to compare your situation to that of a dog, but the principle is the same in how it can possibly effect social relationships. therapy is a very good way to get these types of mental scars up to the surface and attempt to overcome them. are you seeing a psychologist about it? if you were abused as a child, it's good to work through that as an adult with a professional. it sounds to me like you answered your own question. you know the reason...but what to do now? my suggestion is find a good doctor who will help you work through whatever scars your childhood has left behind.
