thefobia is an unknown quantity at this point
The truss-rod pulls AGAINST the tension the strings. If the truss rod is too slack the neck bows forwards and give a really high action on the upper frets.

If the truss rod is too tight the fret board is too flat and you get a lot of fret buzz.

To tighten the truss rod turn the adjusting nut clockwise. To slacken it turn it anti-clockwise. When adjusting it only turn it 1/4 of a full turn at a time. Give it time to settle down, and adjust it more if you need to.
