It’s reverse psychology for me. I didn’t want to look in the cookie jar until someone said “don’t look in the cookie jar”. Now I really want to peek in the cookie jar!
Not a fear per se, but more of a disinclination to do so. For example, I had neither a want nor a need to read Nabokov’s Lolita until someone told me that nobody should, only then did I feel that I must.
Tales of the Otori is a series of historical fantasy novels by Gillian Rubinstein, writing under the pen name Lian Hearn, set in a fictional world based on feudal Japan.
