irrational fear

The term '非理性恐惧' refers to a fear that is not based on reason or logic. It is often used to describe phobias, where an individual might experience intense fear in response to situations, objects, or activities that are usually considered safe. This kind of fear can significantly impact a person's daily life and activities, as they may go to great lengths to avoid the fear-inducing stimuli, even if there is no real danger involved.
