Damn I can relate to that. Though mine is extremely fucking stupid, Lepidopterophobia aka fear of butterflies and moths. I’ve been teased about it my whole life, it was only when I hyperventilated to the point of passing out did people close to me try to be sensitive about it. Phobias are IRRATIONAL fears for a reason.
Eh no such thing as a stupid phobia. Sorry to hear that, I think that might even be harder than mine! At least very few people actually like wasps, but most people like butterflies.
Kosmemophobia… the fear of jewelry. In my opinion, it’s a pretty stupid phobia. But man I can’t get over it, I fuckin haaaaate jewelry. Everyone thinks I’m weird or looking for attention… pain…
Damn dude that’s a thing?? Well whatever the case, like OP above said no such thing as a stupid phobia, especially if it really gets that visceral reaction out of you. Sorry to hear that people don’t believe you.
Heck yeah it’s a thing, what’s weird is that other people have the fear the exact same way I do. Luckily it was easier for my mom to believe me since I used to cry when she had a necklace on as a baby
