About This Quote

In the movie Innerspace, a young man plays a prank on his father by pretending to have been bitten by a radioactive spider. After being sent to the dentist, the young man is terrified of everything else in the world. He says, “I was never afraid of anything in the world except the dentist.” If you’re afraid of a specific thing, you’re likely to keep repeating that fear over and over again. The repetition of this fear can actually cause you to have a phobia of that thing.
