Re: Is it possible to have subconcious fear of certain people?

Technically speaking, people do have a fear.

I know that there was a study that proved that (correct me if I'm wrong) white people have an automatic 'fear-type' thing when they encounter black people, which lasts a split second.

Angry looking people, you tend to fear.

I know whenever my dad comes home or enters my room I get that feeling. That's only because humans fear pain and punishment; if you associate pain and punishment with certain people or certain facial expressions, then yes, you might have a subconscious fear for someone you otherwise get along with.
