Xenophobia is the fear or repulsion of foreigners. A person suffering from xenophobia feels extreme fear or aversion when confronted by a stranger or a foreigner. He perceives foreigners as a threat to himself, usually for no real reason. The fear reaction sometimes leads to violence or verbal attack, but sometimes to a withdrawal from safety. To avoid the symptoms of fear, the xenophobic often tries to avoid foreign people. A xenophobic person himself may know that his fear is unfounded, but he cannot get rid of it, even if it bothers him and limits his life. In most cases, but not always, the trouble is the result of a previous strong negative experience.
