Parents Caused his Kakorrhaphiophobia

they spoke about him in whispers
I did not catch the disease the first time
what is it?

kakorrhaphiophobia

what is that?
fear of failure

don’t we all have that?
not to his degree

He has panic attacks and is thrown into flight or fight mode
on a daily basis

can he work?
no, he can barely function

what causes this?
parents who did everything for him
never letting him do one thing for himself.
