Anyone have a fear of teachers back then as a child?

Anyone have a fear of teachers back then as a child I know I did. I just don't know what it was. I'm shy in general but I guess I fear teachers and managers the most.

 

[Quiet Angel]

Me too and I'm not entirely sure why that is?
Because they're so professional, maybe?

 

[Damaged]

I guess i was shy, but i think thats cos they were adults.
I was pretty much a teachers pet though tbh haha

 

[LazyHermitCrab]

probably because they had to power to mess with your grades and could make you stay after school and such.. oh and call your parents without permission

 

[Tiercel]

I was just afraid that they might call on me even though I always knew the answer and never raised my hand.

Worse, I was always afraid I wouldn't know the answer.

I was a teacher's pet in elementary and middle, teachers loved me. In highschool I was always either sleeping or clowning around so I wasn't liked as much, though they were always shocked at my SAT and FCAT scores (always top 99% percentile, weeee)

yes, i'm anxious around authoratative figures.

 

[Emily_G]

Yes! I think it was more anxious than fear. Maybe I was intimidated by them? Scared of getting in trouble? who knows...I"m not anymore.

 

[BlackPuma]

Not teachers, but people in suites and uniforms intimidate me.

 

[BlueDays]

yes, i'm anxious around authoratative figures.

Me too! I think for me it has to do with the way my mother brought me up, and me taking that to the extreme because of my sensitive nature.

 

[I'm Not There]

I even remember being afraid of my teachers in kindergarten; I dare anyone to beat that.

 

[***deleted***]

I wasn't until I got to college.

In first grade I threw a chair at my teacher for putting my name on board.( it meant you were bad)
In High school I got a lot of referrals....

but now I am scared to approach my professors.

Teachers never bothered me until I got to college. I can't ask for help because I think they will believe I'm dumb, even though it is their job to help students.

I think that's more of a fear of authority figures moreso than fear of teachers. I was afraid of certain teachers at school, the strict/authorative ones, though. Not your usual or bubbly teacher. However, I got extremely shy approaching many teachers about work.

However, I have a fear of other authority figures. I dread the thought of ever going to court for any reason, judges etc. freak me out. I also feel very weary around Police Officers, which made being jumped and detained by them a couple of weeks ago really scary, even if it was for my own good.
