I have for example a huge fear of balloons... it started out when I was a little kid and a balloon popped near me. Since then I've been scared of them.
With parties and on school I locked myself up in the bathroom to at least avoid them a while or walked around with my hands covering my ears. When I was around ten I didn't even go to parties anymore, assuming there would be balloons and I just didn't want to be around them.
At this moment I can accept that there are balloons in the same room but I keep looking at them, hoping no one will touch them. I rather want to run away of course but I can't just do that all the time. I especially hate it when people hold them and squeeze in it, >.< Just the fear it will pop.
I was wondering if there are any people on here who have a phobia that looks weird to other people or that controls a part of your life and how you deal with it.
