What causes atelophobia?

Most phobic disorders don’t have a specific cause. You may be more likely to have atelophobia if you:

• Had a traumatic episode, such as suffering severe punishment or abuse for making a mistake.
• Have a family history of phobias, anxiety disorders or other mental health conditions.
• Have other phobias or anxiety disorders.
• Grew up in an environment where you learned to strive for perfection or that mistakes were unacceptable and nothing you did was ever good enough.
