My boyfriend...

[Beautiful86]

I'm 20 years old and my boyfriend is scared of large crowds. I am a real ppl person and I really like going out and doing things with people but he doesnt. I love him more than anything and I want to learn more about this phobia and how I can help him with it. I don't want to force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. I want to be understanding to his needs and help him as much as I can. I was just wondering what are the basics I should be doing to help him? Please and thanks a million.

Beautiful86,

FIRSTLY, WELCOME,

SECONDLY, I WOULD TAKE YOUR BOYFRIEND TO THE DOCTORS. HE/ SHE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU BOTH.
ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A FEAR OF CROWDS. IT'S VERY COMMON. SO THERE'S PLENTY OF HELP THERE FOR HIM.

THE WAY I DESCRIBE HOW THESE PHOBIAS FEEL IS, IF SOMEONE SPINS YOU ROUND AND ROUND, BLINDFOLDED, AND THEN RIPS THE BLINDFOLD OFF AND TELLS YOU ''NOW WALK...'' COMPLETE DISORIENTATION AND TOTAL FEAR.

YOU ARE THERE FOR HIM AND HE'S VERY LUCKY. I KNOW OF HUGE MEN WHO ARE AFRAID OF CROWDS SO IT'S NOT FUSSY WHO IT PICKS!

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU BOTH GET A HOLD ON THIS.

ANGIE
