I discovered a new phobia today, maybe because of this thread, I realized how it is a phobia. So in Central Park there is a road that loops the whole park. It technically runs in one direction. So the bikers, runners, roller bladers are all going one way down this road. Walkers, however, just walk any which way they want. I was a walker today, going to my restaurant the scenic route, I was walking against the flow of the people on the road. I realized how frightening it was to have all these people coming at me so fast. Cyclists racing by, runners all sweaty running at me, roller bladers whipping around me. I felt so scared and stressed!
